Mama Carollas Staff Relief Fund

Donation protected
To All our Amazing Guests,


I, along with all of Mama’s wonderful staff, would like to give a big “THANK YOU” to our amazing guests. In times like these it is always nice to know you are loved and truthfully, we have never felt more loved. Sometimes you take for granted seeing regulars on a certain night of the week, watching someone smile when they order their favorite meal, or the way a family comes together to celebrate a birthday. I think now, with the change in everyone’s lives, we will all begin to appreciate just how much restaurants mean to us; from the owners, to the staff, right on to the customers that give us a chance to be in their lives.


As this pandemic became worse, we were doing everything in our power to maintain safe and hygienic practices to ensure our guests and staff were healthy. One of those ways was with social distancing. Being loved is a great thing, but it also created a problem for us. We were busier than we anticipated. To keep up the quality of food and service we had to have too many people working at one time. After a few sleepless nights, I made a decision that we would close for a while to protect our employees. The Governor stated that the next two weeks would be critical to his plan and I didn’t want to put business before social responsibility. We will be back in full force, ready to serve you the delicious pastas, entrees and cocktails that we have been privileged to serve you for the last 23 years.

While we were doing carryout and delivery I was often asked, “How can I help your staff?” I was able to say that they were already helping out by ordering carryout and tipping servers. Now that we have temporarily closed, the question continues. As many of you know, our staff members are one-of-a-kind! Many employees have been with us for over 10 years! While we transition into this new normal, it is difficult to predict how this will affect those hardworking and dedicated staff members. We have decided to set up a Staff Relief Fund, so that people who want to help, can!

At this time, if you are looking for a way to help the Mama’s staff, consider contributing to our Staff Relief Fund. These funds will be directly distributed to our staff to offset some of their expenses during the shutdown of the restaurant industry. Your support will help make a significant difference. We are hoping this will relieve some of the stress everyone is feeling. We look forward to the time when we will be able to open and continue to provide you with the best Italian food in the city!

Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and we would also like to show our appreciation and gratitude by offering incentives for those who choose to contribute.

Some of our incentives include:

A $500  contribution gets you a Saturday night reservation for up to 6 people.

A $250  contribution gets you a  one time "cut the line pass" to skip our wait times any day of the week!
*Your group will be added to the list for the next available table that accommodates your party.

A $200 contribution gets you a $25 Gift Card.

A $100 contribution gets you a 1/2 off Wine voucher.

Please leave your email address in the note option on your contribution so we can get in touch! And again, we appreciate you all so very much.

Sincerely,
Mama
