Six Decades of Italian Tradition
Mom & Dad's has been Tallahassee's gathering place since 1963 — for celebrations, quiet weeknights, and the kind of Italian cooking that feels like home.

A Humble Start Off Apalachee Parkway
Mom & Dad's opened its doors in 1963 as a simple Italian eatery on Apalachee Parkway, at a time when Tallahassee was still finding its footing as a city. What nobody predicted was just how long it would stay.
Sixty Years of Tallahassee Life
Birthdays, graduations, homecomings — and the ordinary Tuesday nights that somehow become the ones you remember. The move to Bannerman Crossings brought a beautiful new space without changing what matters.
Recipes Worth Coming Back For
Original recipes that have outlasted decades of dining trends — from Chicken Parmigiana ordered by name to the lemon cream cake people drive across town for. Nothing fussy, just food made with real care.
Rooted in This Community
Mom & Dad's proudly supports the Tallahassee Ballet, Big Bend Hospice, FSU Dance Marathon, the March of Dimes, and many more — because this restaurant has always been part of the city, not just a business inside it.
Your Table Is Ready
