Yeah best place for your worst decisions. There was a crazy guy (crazy was friends of the bartender) he thought someone had kicked him. To the bartender: This friend of yours is obviously obliterated, and just because he gives you tons of money by drinking doesnt make him a friend. To the audience: this guy has his back toward everyone, in the most narrow spot in the entire bar. This is a spot where pushing, shoving, and yes, confusion for kicking can occur. "chiiiillllll out man, NO one kicked you. Im just trying to get a drink of water." I said . The crazy man replied, "oh you want me to chill, ill show you chill!!!" This crazy was seriously ready to throw punches. Anyway, I told the bartender his crazy friend was about to start a fight, "this guy is overreacting you better get him out of here before he gets worse" I said to the bartender. Bartender blames me for this crazy guys inappropriate behaviors, "if he said someone kicked him, someone, kicked him. Hes my friend and I believe him no matter what." said bartender. Obviously, the bartender needs to be fired. And the bouncer was backing the bartender the entire time. (Commendable but wrong). crazy story the bouncer about kicked me out "I saw the bartender getting upset with you, I have to come over and Im going to ask you to leave" said the bouncer. Bartender replied no dont but if he starts any more funny business kick him out right away." Seriously?!?!? What the $#!@ just happened. I was reporting an incident and now im being blamed for it. I was just the soberrrrrr messenger. The crazy guy, friend of bartender, continues to pursue us outside and follow us to our car. Not trying to start a fight but it seems the mama venturas bartender endorses it.

OUTSTANDING!!! When traveling, we rarely if ever eat at the same establishment more than once. But, on arrival in Gettysburg before Valentines day weekend, we had no reservations. Our Bed and Breakfast (Battlefield B&B) recommended trying Mammas. GREAT recommendation. We had the Dinner for two Paella and Caprese salad and a wonderful Sweetheart tart. The Paella was great over Saffron rice and full of seafood. With such a great meal and excellent service from Carlos we opted to return for Valentines evening for another meal. The next night we shared an eggplant rollatini - excellent! Clearly homemade marinara. Dinner was Smoked Salmon over risotto with caramelized orange peels. Both were well priced and competitive with foods one would find in NYC, Chicago and DC and much more costly. Do not miss this gem when you visit Gettysburg!

Decent food, poor service. Considering how many tables were occupied, which was few, it took forever to get a table, then even longer to be even addressed concerning our drinks. The waitress rushed us though our order, seeming frustrated in having to take it. After a very prolonged wait for both food and drink (the beverages taking over fifteen minutes) the food did arrive. Portions were decent and overall the food was prepared well. However we sat with dirty plates and empty glasses for an additional fifteen minutes before anyone would bring us a check. We had to try to flag down a waitress several times with no success. Finally I stood up and found a waitress, asked for the check and left. I will not be returning, and would not recommend it to a friend.

The worst bar scene Ive ever seen. If you enjoy dying on cigarette and cigar smoke than come here. The place will fill with so much smoke it will make you sick. The music only gets louder and its a very small place that gets crowed quickly. Did I mention the music gets so loud your ears hurt and the dance area is about 8x8 feet and the place maybe holds 60 people. The drinks were expensive and watered down. My girl got a drink and had me try it and it was water with a hint of vodka. I was sober mind you so I could easily tell. I left this place with a headache, lightheaded and a high loathing hate places like this. I wish I could give this place half a star.

Terrible service, many sloppy mistakes like serving alcohol to a 5 yr. old. Took 1 1/2 and we still didnt have our check. Had the Shrimp Scampi and it was a watery, garlic sauce with 5 shrimp. Ask to speak with a manager and no one was there only two servers for an entire restaurant. I agree with the other sentiments that they take advantage of the tourist, too bad we are locals. Never again. Beware! If its this bad up front, I can just imagine what its like in the kitchen.

The woman bartender (not sure her name) was very rude to me and my friend tonight. She refused to serve us simply because we opened a tab and closed it after ordering one drink. She also told the other bartenders not to serve us but also was taking credit cards from everyone else. She gave me an attitude when I ordered one drink and paid with my card. Im reluctant to return if shes serving because of the way she treated us.

Racist environment; Waited 3hrs for main course!!!! Overpriced, tasteless food. The shrimp scampi was too watery, the stuffed shell was too salty, the Alfredo pasta was too creamy, for the Chicken masala, no words can describe the atrocity. If you are African or black, dont bother wasting your money or time at this restuarant, cos they will treat you like trash. I will not wish this restuarant on my greatest enemy.

Avoid this place! They take advantage of tourists. The place reeks of cigarette smoke. The service is horrible – very unfriendly. They charge extra for refills of soda, extra for sharing food (even if it’s a child), they won’t ask you “small or large” – they’ll just charge you for a large. Décor is dated and the place appears like it hasn’t been cleaned in a while…

"hostess" was the worst I have ever encountered. A bad start when trying to make a good experience. No smile, no eye contact, threw the silverware on the tableland walked away. Wine list was lame for an Italian restaurant. Sports bars have better wine lists. Menu was overpriced for typical pasta dishes. No innovation here and the theme is apathy.

We went with our three small hungry children and waited ages for bread and it took 45 mins for our meal to arrive. We wished we had not waited. The spaghetti was topped with tinned chopped tomato in lieu of a sauce, our $10 pizza had a frozen cheap base and the pesto linguine had no taste at all. We could not get out of there quick enough

Very nice classy no smoking resturant with good food. Unknown to tourists they have the most happening college and local night club down stairs. Lots of single guys and girls if ur looking to mingle. Very crowded and smoky usually tue thru sat but not till around midnight. Good Pool competition most nights. Good dancing most nights.

Female bartender refused to serve me after I used a credit card and didnt open a tab and went as far as informing the other bartenders not to accept my card. Very displeased, considering this was one of my first few experiences at a bar since turning 21 this year, and I have never had a problem with any of the other bartenders.
