Viva La Mamma – italien cuisine like from mama

„Mamma, I´m sorry for what I said, when I was hungry.“- Viva la Mamma

The hotspot this summer was definitely the restaurant Viva La Mamma, in the 1st district of Vienna. It was public everywhere, whether on Instagram, Tiktok or other media. I saw it everywhere so I had to go there myself. The Italian restaurant enchants you with delicious drinks, incredibly good food and one or two events. And all of this has only happened since the new takeover in May 2023.

The Viva La Mamma restaurant is a real eye-catcher even from the outside. This huge yellow awning with the logo and all the plants turn the place into a little Italian oasis. The furniture inside and outside is very tasteful. The highlight for me outside was the rocking chair. The interior is just as beautiful and stylishly furnished. In terms of appearance, the restaurant is great.

But who is mom anyway? Mamma is the soul and heart of the entire Viva La Mamma restaurant. She cooks her own recipes and creations. But her real passion is the dough. Whether it’s pasta or pizza, both are freshly prepared with a lot of love and passion.

Italian cuisine is over for me. I can’t hold back anymore. For this reason we really hit it. As a starter we ordered the “Ultimate Antipasti Mix”. Consisting of a mix of starters such as prosciutto, stracciatella, pizza pane, baked sage leaves with lemon and calamari fritti. To accompany this whole dish we also ordered the beef tartare with quail egg, balsamic onion, truffle mayo, tobinambur chips and chervil. And because I love burrata, I ordered this too.

The Neapolitan pizza is a poem in itself. After the dough has rested for 72 hours, it is fluffy and crispy at the same time. We once ordered the “Mamma and the bufalo”. Consisting of tomato sauce, fresh basil, roasted tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella and Grana Padano.

Of course, I ordered pasta at the Viva La Mamma restaurant. This is prepared fresh every day and is sure to enchant all guests. As a truffle lover – yes, opinions often come apart when i´m talking about truffle – i always always always order pasta with truffles, if they are offered. That’s why I ordered the “Truffle Love” pasta. Consisting of linguine with fine truffle cream, panna and fresh grated truffles. My secret soul food!

Finally, I would like to mention, for anyone who may have been wondering, yes, I drank an Aperol in Viva La Mamma 😊 I wouldn’t be able to do it without it.

In summary, my visit to the Viva La Mamma restaurant was a complete success for me. I understand the hype on the internet. it’s cozy and stylish. The Aperol is delicious, the food is simply divine and you can take good photos there. Everything was right for me. Even now, writing this blog post, I’m getting hungry and would like to go back immediately.
