I visited this restaurant for a family birthday celebration with around 15 people, and I have to say, the service was impressively timely. Everything we ordered was fantastic. I began with the greens and beans and a mozzarella wheel, both of which were delicious and served promptly! For my main course, I chose the homemade cheese ravioli, and it was excellent. Everyone at the table also enjoyed their meals. The homem... View all feedback.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. The fried zucchini was delicious, the homemade blue cheese dressing on my salad was excellent and the veal parmesan was the best I've had on a long time.
Very traditional Italian, however everything is made fresh from scratch. The prices are extremely reasonable, and everything tasted delicious. The meatballs were huge, but very tender and moist. We were seated promptly, and our food came quickly. Portion size is large, such that we skipped the appetizers and didn't miss them. The Italian bread is good, plus your choice of soup or salad.
I love the calamari with spaghetti , I really like it spicy too! It's definitely a favorite of mine at mama Roses! I crave it at times and got to go get it!!
Great homemade cuisine. Old world recipes. They make there own sauces, sold locally and at the restaurant. Staffing shortage does hinder the service.
My wife and I took two of our kids 17 and 21 here for dinner before a movie. The place wasn't packed but only two waitresses and a hostess who did nothing to help them. It became clear pretty quickly that we were in for a wait. Both waitresses completely ignored us for at least ten minutes then a guy came out from the kitchen to take our drink orders. Hallelujah we thought , finally some service! Another wait before the drinks then ponytail guy from the kitchen returned with the drinks and asks... did you guys want bread or are you ok? Ummmm YES we want bread why is that even a question?? Wait for the bread... ponytail guy brings bread and takes our order. Ok great things are moving now as the waitresses continue to pretend we don't exist ,a couple with a small child gets seated next to us. My wife and I chat with the children about patience (mostly them talking me down from the ledge I'm teetering on as I become hangry) Ahhhh as we finish our store bought bag tasting bread that was presented as FRESH bread our waitress finally sees fit to acknowledge our existence! Apologies for the wait so sorry busy busy busy blah blah blah . The couple with the small child has now not only been served drinks and bread but their food has arrived ...So after another lengthy wait for our food we are ready to tuck in. Now my wife and I have been craving us some New York style pizza for months and as have called ahead and been assured that it is available here and the advertised HOMEMADE, AUTHENTIC etc we are ready to grub. What we get is a thin crust frozen pizza that tastes like it's straight from the frozen section of ALDI. Not even a decent frozen pizza mind you.Our kids got sandwiches, they looked ok but they weren't raved about. We got a couple orders of fries which were soggy , fried zucchini was pretty good , all 7 or 8 small pickle chip type slices of it. The bill was not worth what we got at all and I highly doubt we will ever return. All that being said my thanks to the pony tail guy from the kitchen who waited on us and did a lot of other running around there . Dear owners , you have obviously been short staffed for a long time and there's got to be a reason for this. Other businesses when they're short staffed the owners get out there and help. Maybe you don't treat your workers well I really don't know. Now to all you people leaving these reviews saying how good this place is , maybe butlers water kills taste buds , brain cells or both . People if you want Italian food and are unsure just go the extra distance to Olive Garden or drive to Pittsburgh where there is plenty of good options.
