By: Mama Mia Trattoria Brown is a fourth generation restaurateur originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, growing up on the same kind of Italian food that Mama Mia Trattoria is well known for. He has called Portland his home for many years and has extensive experience in owning and operating numerous successful restaurants of varying concepts. Brown is passionate about providing the highest quality food and service possible and will spare no expense when using the best local products and sustainable resources available. “The restaurant has achieved success beyond my wildest dreams, and I’m ready to hand it over to Barry, who I know can – and will – give it the focus, devotion and attention it needs to get to the next level,” Schroeder said. In the fall, Brown plans to open the restaurant for a value-priced lunch and weekend brunch and will offer an extended happy hour beginning at 4pm. In addition, he will provide corporate catering services and have family size entrees and desserts conveniently packaged to take out for lunch and dinner. "I am overjoyed to have acquired Mama Mia Trattoria, a Portland Italian tradition, from Lisa whose passion brought life to the famous downtown eatery,” Brown said. “The staff is amazing and ultimately I look forward to my son joining me thus creating the 5th generation of Brown family restaurateurs.” The sale was complete on July 1, 2011. Schroeder plans to remain involved with the restaurant to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the reputation for excellent service, food, drinks, and ambiance. End
