"They deliver exactly what you expect from toasted ravioli, a crisp exterior and a vaguely beeflike filling with the consistency of paste."

Larry Bleiberg

"Hicks calls this crunchy St. Louis appetizer the greatest ravioli dish on the planet. Mama’s claims to have invented the meat-filled snack in the 1940s, and stills serves them with homemade marinara sauce."

Lily Cichanowicz

"Mama’s on the Hill is another site whose claim to the original toasted ravioli goes all the way back to the 1940s. They follow a traditional style, small in stature, filled with meat, fried to perfection, and dusted with Parmesan."

Kaitlin Steinberg

"Mama's ravioli are crisp and delish."

Carrie Dennis

"Visitors to Mama's on The Hill can still order baskets piled high with the palm-sized, molten meat-stuffed pasta, breaded and deep-fried, topped with fresh-grated Parmesan, and served with a side of marinara dipping sauce -- and boy, do they ever."

Virginia Hyde

"Mama’s on the Hill’s version of toasted ravioli is extra crispy and spiced more than the other varieties."

Lisa Payne-Naeger

"True Toasted Ravioli is lightly breaded and deep fried until just the right golden brown. When you take that first bite and taste the specially seasoned meat filling, you’ll definitely be back for more."

Megan Courtney

"Who doesn’t love this stuff? Sure, it’s sold in bags at stores, but the frozen stuff isn’t the same as fresh made toasted ravioli from Mama’s On The Hill or Mama Toscano’s!"
