Sticky fingers, happy faces. The real gelato review 🍦❤️

There’s something about that very first taste of gelato that brings out the kid in everyone. Whether you’re 6 or 60, a scoop of your favourite flavour has a way of turning an ordinary afternoon into a happy memory. These two clearly agree 😊

A little reminder to slow down, treat yourself (or the little ones), and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

We’ll be here, scoop in hand, whenever you’re ready 🍨✨

Meet Hassan Mjomba, one of the talented chefs behind the kitchen at Mama Mia Zanzibar.

Hassan joined our team in 2016, and for the past 10 years he has been an essential part of our journey—the very same 10 years we are celebrating this year. We have grown together, overcoming challenges, celebrating milestones, and creating unforgettable dining experiences.

Every dish that leaves his station reflects his passion, dedication, and commitment to quality. From our very first days in Nungwi to the restaurant we are today, Hassan has helped shape the Mama Mia story.

This anniversary isn't just about Mama Mia—it's about the incredible people who have made it possible.

Thank you, Hassan, for a decade of hard work, loyalty, and outstanding food. Here's to many more years together! ❤️👨‍🍳

5 reasons our guests fall in love with Mama Mia Restaurant… and honestly, we don’t blame them.

1️⃣ Sunsets that stop you mid-scroll — Nungwi Beach at golden hour, different every single day
2️⃣ Our chefs bringing the heat (literally) — passion goes into every dish
3️⃣ Fresh food.
4️⃣ Guests dancing barefoot in the sand as the music plays — this is the real vibe
5️⃣ That Nungwi Beach backdrop nobody can replicate — sea, sand, and great food

This is Zanzibar living, served on a plate.

Karibu Mama Mia where the food is Italian, the setting is pure Zanzibar magic, and every sunset feels beautiful 🤩

10 years ago, Mimmo Damiani & Alfonso Nicolao looked at each other and said “let’s do this” 💪🏾

Fast forward a decade millions of tourists later, countless memories made, and a family built one plate at a time.

To everyone who walked through our doors, who chose us, who believed in us from day one… this is YOUR anniversary too.

Here’s to 10 years and many more 🥂✨

10 years ago, we brought a piece of our Italian heritage to this beautiful island and instantly fell in love.

Today, our hearts are full of gratitude for the incredible team who has stood by us every single day, for the guests who arrived as strangers and left as family, and for everyone who has been part of our journey since day one.

Zanzibar, thank you for welcoming us with open arms and making Mama Mia feel like home.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you ❤️🙏🏾
