Mama Vita s Take To Bake solves that problem. Mama s Italian cuisine is refrigerated in plastic containers, waiting to be popped in the microwave for two to four minutes, depending on serving size. If your dinner plans change, the food stays fresh for a day or two in the refrigerator. On the eastern edge of Mariemont in the Mariemont Promenade, Mama Vita s is strictly carryout.
Many servings are generous enough for two, and prices are moderate.
Manicotti, ziti, lasagna and other pasta-based foods fill a refrigerator case along one wall of the shop. There are individual and large, family-size plastic bowls of crisp Romaine lettuce waiting for your choice of salad toppings and dressings. Fresh breads beckon, and pizzas that you take home to bake are assembled to order by the friendly young staff. My family enjoyed everything we sampled. Our stove may not blast pizza crusts with the authority of a professional oven, but we liked the fresh toppings and sauce on our pie.
