Momma's Restaurante

Momma's Restaurante is a restaurant located in Saint Mark's, Portland Island, Liberty City. The restaurant has been in business since 1968 and is run by Ma Cipriani. Ma lives at the restaurant and her son, Toni, moves in between 1998 and 2001. The restaurant is frequented by Leone Family gang members, including Salvatore Leone. The restaurant is the starting point for Ma's missions in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Toni's missions in Grand Theft Auto III.

The Restaurant also features a cramped parking lot, where a Kuruma is parked in GTA III, and a Leone Sentinel parked in GTA LCS. Both vehicles are often on alarm, so care should be taken when jacking them and driving them away, as a street passing by the restaurant is usually crowded with vehicles, and the alarm may attract Police, which can arrest the player in no time.

Missions
In both its appearances, Momma's Restaurante is a starting point for several storyline missions, which become available to the player at a relatively early stage of both games (when Staunton Island is not yet officially accessible). In GTA III Claude receives missions from Toni Cipriani, while in GTA LCS Toni Cipriani himself takes missions from his mother.
