Reviews Summary
Mamma Corsica is celebrated for its authentic Corsican cuisine, with many diners highlighting the high quality of ingredients and unique dishes. The owner's exceptional hospitality creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making guests feel like family.

"Everything we ordered was fabulous.
My salad was the most delicious vinaigrette with sweet, fresh greens.
My husband's "hamburger" was enormous and actually a port filet that was so tender and flavorful.
The ravioli was perfectly cooked with a scrumptious meat/cheese filling. The serving was so plentiful I could only eat half of it. We will eat at Mama Corsica in Avignon again. Highly recommend. Service was excellent."

"Although we called last minute to reserve for when the kitchen normally closes, the owner was so kind to wait for us and always kept a smile.
Such a beautiful ambiance, interesting menu, professional, patient and kind owner which really started our trip to Avignon perfectly.
If you’re looking for a welcoming experience, a comforting meal and in a beautiful area this is the place to go.
We really recommend the Filet de Veau with the Corsican red wine, it was delicious and balanced.
Thank you again and god bless you 🤍"
