Mom Chaffe's Cellarette

I have to say, after decades of Going to this amazing place, the atmosphere def had something to be desired. There were tables out front, but we were sat in the back. We were forgotten about. Wine came late. Two tables down we listened to the kitchen and wait staff curse and talk about their personal lives and work. The atmosphere was ruined. Our date night and dinner was definitely something to be desired. The food was amazing, but the whole experience I’ve loved for so many years was gone. If I could do it over, we would have ordered take out or gone elsewhere. Not the atmosphere I’ve always remembered. 😞 quite disappointed. No longer worth the money to me unfortunately.

It’s been a long time since I loved every single thing that a restaurant put in front of me and I feel thrilled to say that Mama Chaffe’s accomplished just that! Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. Bar drinks were top notch, I loved how Frangelico is served in the house espresso martini. Leonardo, who I assume is some kind of manager is clearly comfortable on the floor, interacting with guests and making sure everyone is content and satisfied. Our server, Leslie was very sweet and attentive and we appreciated her service throughout the night. Will absolutely be returning!

Truly an exceptional dining experience. The food is unmatched in the area. It is TINY and can be very loud but it makes the experience unique.

After seeing a post on Facebook, I had to see for myself. This place is cozy and so good! We walked in after an hour drive and we were not disappointed! Amazing food and great service! From the fried mozzarella to seafood lasagne and an espresso crème brûlée…. Wonderful!! Highly recommend Mom Chaffe’s and do hope to go back again soon!

Our first visit. Friends we were with visit frequently. The ambiance is great! Old school vibe. Reminds me of an Italian Restaurant throwback from one of NYC boroughs. Loved it. We were seated behind the bar in a quiet secluded area that seated four. It was private and we felt special. Our appetizers were excellent. The coconut shrimp was crispy and delish! We also ordered the green fried hot peppers with mozzarella. Be warned as the peppers are extremely hot. If you like heat you’ll love it. Mozzarella was fresh and soft and complimented the heat of the peppers nicely. We had the linguini in white clam sauce. Pasta was cooked perfectly. The clams were fresh and sauce was a bit creamier than I’m used to however the taste was really good. Squeezed some lemon in it and it bumped up the flavor. The only negative remark I’ll make is this. While our server was friendly enough I don’t think he has had thorough training. Needs some extra guidance. Wasn’t proactive in noticing we all needed utensils for our entrees as well as a bowl for the clam shells. We did ask the bus girl for a bowl and she returned with one that was the size of a small ice cream bowl. She had no idea w
