"I think people are finding out there's more food out here instead of always going to the front [of The Woodlands]," Kumbara said.
Serving up her parents' Italian recipes, Kumbara oversees the kitchen and has made few changes since opening. However, the menu does offer some subtle changes throughout the year, and she anticipates a lighter menu featuring salads and chicken beginning in January.
Kumbara said dishes served with pomodoro sauce—made with Roma tomatoes, basil and garlic—have been especially popular recently. Mama Mia also has seen steady growth through catering, which makes up about 25 percent of the business.
