Mamma Rosa

I often miss authentic Italian meals with my family from N. Jersey. Grandma's sauce simmering on the stove all day. I think I've found a place that serves food pretty similar to my family's recipes. The dining room is quaint and quiet. There are a handful of booths and a few tables that seat 6 or more. The upstairs room is reserved for a larger party. The menu offers a handful of entrees and apps but I like that because it ensures that what you are getting is fresh and the recipe has been perfected. My husband got rigatoni and meatballs with sausage. The red sauce was think with veggies and not too sweet. I had a very creamy, tasty vodka sauce with rigatoni and a tender breaded cutlet of chicken. I've never had a breaded chicken cutlet with vodka sauce and I enjoyed the flavor of it. My daughter had a rich and creamy Alfredo and my other daughter ate every last bit of her fettuccine and marinara. The cease salad was fresh and crispy and my husband was happy to see a cut up hard boiled egg included! I had an appetizer special that I've only had in one other restaurant and I love it so much that I immediately ordered it when the server said it was a special. It was broccoli rab with cannellini beans and sausage sautéed in a garlic,parm olive oil sauce. It is so good! I ate so much of that, that I took half my entree home with me. Dessert was a neopolitan bomba and a light and tender apple strudel. Both were enjoyed by everyone. The owner, Luigi, made an appearance at the end to offer a complimentary Lemoncello after dinner digestif. I thought that was very sweet of him. I'm so glad we tried this gem of a restaurant and I will definitely be back here to try more items off the menu!

First time there (embarrassingly) but we are sure glad we went! The Burrata appetizer was excellent, the Parpadelli Bolognese a perfect conbination of meat and sauce, and the Pear Tart was just sweet enough. All in all, a cozy, warm, and inviting restuarant. Must visit!

I am from the area and I always drive by and say I’m going to go. Well I did! And I am glad I did. It is such a beautiful restaurant. We did have to wait 45 minutes because it is tiny. But it was well worth the wait. The parking lot is just as small. So if you are coming from the neighborhood if you can walk do that. If you are coming from elsewhere I recommend a driving service. The lot fits maybe 6 cars. But there is street parking. Inside is decorated so cute. And the gentleman who greeted us was soft spoken and kind. We sat down he read the specials off to us and we placed our orders. We were given bread and olive oil for dipping. There was an older gentleman walking around making sure we were all good and offered us wine. Once the food arrived we were in heaven. We got the special app which was burrata, tomatoes, Prosciutto nicely seasoned. But let’s not over look the grilled peaches that made the flavor pop! Main dish was penne with vodka sauce and lobster ravioli. We were not disappointed at all. Everything was so filling. The quality of food was exceptional. Although I was stuffed I did not feel uncomfortable or have acid relic after eating. Normally anywhere else i have gotten Italian food I can’t finish my dish before I feel full and uncomfortable. I would highly recommend for a date night with whoever! Man take yourself on a date here and splurge because you will not be disappointed! Everything was delicious. I will be back!
