If you've ever walked into Mama's Italian House on Youree Drive in Shreveport, you know the feeling: you're immediately greeted by happy folks eager to serve you comfort food.

Their mission has always been simple, as their Facebook page states: "Italian, American with a Cajun twist. Comfort food makes you happy!" This little spot quickly earned the love of residents hungry for unique Italian flavors.

The Heartbreaking Reality

Sadly, this announcement isn't a total shock to their loyal customers. For a while now, the owners have been open about wanting to sell the business. The mastermind behind the kitchen, affectionately known as "the Mama," has been battling ongoing health struggles. Despite everything, this proud business owner kept showing up to feed her community, because that's just what Mamas do, right?

Final Call for Cajun-Italian Comfort

The owners desperately tried to find a buyer to keep the unique recipes and fun concept alive in Shreveport. Unfortunately, nobody stepped up to purchase the business, and now it's "lights out" for the place.

With heavy hearts, they announced the closure. November 2nd will be the very last brunch, and their doors will officially close on either November 3rd or 4th. This is our last chance to show our support! The owners shared a heartfelt final message: "We tried and failed, so on to the next chapter. It was nice to have met everyone we have met. Thank you for the love and support."

Our hearts hurt to see this local business closure. Make your reservations now before it's too late! Mama's Italian House is located at 5747 Youree Dr, Shreveport, LA.
