In the heart of Amiens, in northern France, there is a corner of Italy that continues to shine. Ristorante Mamma Mia has confirmed the Platinum level of the ITA0039 by Asacert certification, an award that recognizes its ongoing commitment to enhancing authentic Italian cuisine.
Behind Mamma Mia’s success is the passion and dedication of Leopoldo Laise, a Calabrian chef from Guardia Piemontese with a background full of international experience. After running a seafood restaurant in Calabria, his curiosity led him to travel for fifteen years between England, Thailand, Florida, Mexico, Spain and Tenerife, working as a cook, batch chef and chef de cuisine. Meeting his wife, a Frenchwoman with maternal origins from Campania, marked a new phase in his life: a return to France to build a stable future for their family, and the birth of Mamma Mia, an Italian trattoria and pizzeria designed to offer an authentic alternative to the fast food restaurants prevalent in the city.
The quality and authenticity of the products are the beating heart of the restaurant. Mamma Mia offers a simple yet rich menu of authentic Italian flavors: appetizers with burrata, mozzarella and sliced meats, fresh stuffed pasta imported directly from Italy thanks to the collaboration with Fontaneto, and, of course, pizzas. Among the most popular with customers are the calzone and pizza with black truffle cream and buffalo mozzarella, a perfect balance of tradition and innovation.
The success of Italian cuisine in the world, according to Laise: “lies precisely in the quality of the raw materials and the ability of Italians to enhance their taste through recipes handed down from generation to generation.” This commitment is recognized by customers and review platforms: Mamma Mia consistently ranks among the city’s best restaurants on TripAdvisor for service, price and product quality.
The confirmation of the Platinum level of ITA0039 certification testifies to the authenticity of the work done by the Mamma Mia team.
ITA0039 | 100% Italian Taste Certification by ASACERT continues to represent a seal of authenticity for Made in Italy agri-food products, offering a guarantee of quality for producers, restaurateurs and consumers. Through a rigorous verification process based on selected technical criteria, the certification protects Italian excellence, promoting transparency, traceability and respect for traditions.
