Recognized as a place to get good Italian food, Mama Lou’s is the first destination of our UP Town Center Italian themed food trip.
I have been wanting to visit Mama Lou’s in BF Homes ever since I heard about it from my cousin. For this visit, I went to its UP Town Center branch with my friend. It was lunch time and we did not make any reservations so we were put on the waiting list for a while.
After a few minutes, we were given a table outside and some complementary bread. This came with salsa and pesto.
Poutine with additional bacon
The poutine with additional bacon arrived soon after.
Fries glistening in its gravy-cheese glory. Maybe it was just me but the gravy had some kind of pizza taste in it. Perhaps from meat, tomato, and spices?
Risotto Tartufo Funghi
It was a longer wait for the risotto. Finally, this truffle dish arrived.
Slices of cheese and mushrooms on top of rice in a round plate, this photo does not capture how flavorful this dish really is. Truffle cream provided a different taste. The creaminess and cheesiness reminded me of carbonara.
Watch out for part 2 of our Italian dessert! Any guesses?
