Mamma Roma

Our favourite local Italian spot. Meals are always consistently good and service very personal and warm. Veal to die for and the ox liver is also quite special.

This has been our family restaurant since I was about 4 and it will always remain a favorite lovely staff and lovely food! Have the pasta al forno

Mamma Roma is such a lovely restaurant situated in Newlands. My friend and I were bypassing when we decided to try the restaurant out for dinner. Even though they were fully booked and we did not make a reservation, they still happily accommodated us. The restaurant has an authentic European feel to it. <br/ <br/ For starters we ordered their Greek salad, which was so refreshing and crisp. For mains, I wanted seafood platter, which they did not have on their menu. We spoke to the chef and told him exactly what we wanted. His special seafood platter for us, exceeded our expectations. The platter included kingklip, grilled and friend calamari, queen prawns and cray fish. It also included a portion of rice, chips and butternut and spinach. The food was spicy as requested. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Mamma Roma.

I've been going to this branch of Mama Roma for years and always alternate between the chicken schnitzel or a delucious veal dish. Service is top class and all the sides are yummy too. On the expensive side but so worth every cent if you want authentic Iralian. Homely feel just make sure you get a table insude and not in the passageway.

Ok so Mamma Roma is a really old fashioned, Italian styled restaurant. It's classic in its appearance and beautiful. I love the ambiance given off by the dim lighting. The decor is simple and too the point and I love the murals on the walls.<br/ <br/ In terms of food, everyone seemed to have a good meal with no complaints. Lamb, pasta alfredo, and duck are all good choices. Pudding was simply divine and everyone loved their picks, those being Creme Brulee, Italian Kisses and Malva Pudding with custard.<br/ <br/ Service was friendly and helpful. However it was a little slow because the restaurant it always so busy. Be sure to book in advance to make sure you get a table. Overall a very enjoyable meal for everyone.
