Ma Cipriani

Background

Ma Cipriani is the mother of Leone Family captain Toni Cipriani and the owner of Momma's Restaurante in Saint Mark's, Portland. She raised Toni on her own and still runs the restaurant, which doubles as Toni's base. She is voiced by Sondra James.

Events of GTA III

Ma Cipriani is a minor character in GTA III. She is not seen, but she can be heard shouting at Toni from inside the restaurant during his mission cutscenes, nagging him about not being made and about his work. The scenes show how much Toni, a feared mobster, still lives under his mother's thumb.

Later and earlier games

She plays a much bigger part in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, set in 1998, where she appears in person and pushes Toni to rise in the Leone family.
