Celebrating forty years of establishment in Gettysburg, Mamma Ventura Casual Italian Dining is located at 13 Chambersburg Street, just west of Lincoln Square. Housed in one of Gettysburg’s antebellum structures, the restaurant can claim a most historic beginning, with some of the town’s most illustrious citizens having lived on the property. The Reverend Alexander Dobbin first won the lottery to claim the lot when James Gettys first offered sectors of land for the creation of the town in 1786. Alexander’s son, James, inhabited the property, with a log home and summer kitchen that predated the current building.
