Mamma Susanna's has been suggested to the Drunks for years but we just never seemed to get there. So finally we went. It's in a weird little strip mall in a sleepy little neighborhood in River Park near CSUS. It has changed hands over the years, but the two guys who run it now are friendly, sassy, affable and just all around great.

This is down home, grandma's Italian food. The best chicken piccata I've had in years. Everyone enjoyed their meals and almost everyone polished off the generous portions. Also Chianti. So many glasses that they just started tallying them up for us. And even just charged us the bottle price instead of by the glass. They didn't have to do that, but it was so nice, we'll remember it.

I would take anyone here for a good home cooked Italian meal with friendly service and a neighborhood feel. Win.
