Upon entering this warm establishment as one reviewer stated a few days ago, not only was the outdoor seating optional, the atmosphere felt like as though you were coming home for some good dinner along with very responsible and friendly hosts. Bellow is my review of the service:
Pros: Warm environment, active (also some jokester) hosts, good food and the time to deliver never felt long. :) Even though the architecture may be in need for some upgrading to the new age, I would say the service was very attentive to all my needs in a proper fashion.
Con: Probably the only con is that the outdoor tables and chairs (6 pm to closing) were a little cold at the time due to the rain but the heaters are there for a reason so even if the place was packed and I ended up being seated outside, I would trust them to be able to make it presentable.
Final Verdict: The Works Pizza which I ordered was not bad and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who would like to have some Italian dinner with the price range being around 20-25$ a person. If the owners see this, thank you very much for your very friendly service and I hope you keep up the good work. Maybe I'll see you soon again.

Always good food at Mamma Rosa's. Good lunch menu averaging $7. Pictured is a personal pizza (cheese and sausage) and a sandwich.

For such a small restaurant Mamma Rosa's restaurant does a lot of business especially take-out. The restaurant is homey and clean. The food flavorful and delicious. The waitresses are knowledgeable and friendly. A positive experience all the way around.. Everyone should try the lasagna, ravioli and spaghetti because you won't be disappointed.

My family and I have been dinning here since the 1980s. We normally eat here about 3-4 times a month. Their food is amazing. If you have not eaten here, I strongly suggest you do! I would suggest to order their "Family Dinner". It's a lot of food, you get large portions and you get a lot of dishes of various items. Their pizza is the best ever!!

Outstanding food and service! Wait for a party of seven was 30 minutes but that just attest to the quality of the food. After being seated we were served by Jessy H. and I have never had the quality of service in my 69 years. She knew the menu items well and delivered the items promptly and Hot! Nothing worse than lukewarm spaghetti and nothing better than what was served here piping hot!!! Great time with family and the food kept coming on time and hot except the desserts which are fist class. I have eaten Italian food of the same caliber but just equal in Italy �. Well done.

Mamma Rosa's is a wonderful place to eat. Friendly people, delicious food, and their new, expanded restaurant really make the dining experience just that much better. We love their pizza and antipasto salad. We have had other item, but confess those two are our very favorite.
