Mamma Rosa Restaurant is a cozy Italian eatery that offers a genuine homemade dining experience. The restaurant, founded in 1984 by Rosa and Giacomo Anfuso, brings the love of Sicily to the Okanagan with classic recipes and fresh handmade pasta. The menu features favorites like veal stuffed cannelloni, veal parmigiana, and a standout Caesar salad, all complemented by delightful house red wine and Chianti. Desserts like the tiramisu and chocolate explosion remain the crowning glory.
With candlelight, classic songs, and jovial laughter filling the air, the atmosphere is charming and reminiscent of Italy. The service is warm and fun, with chefs like Mansor Abrahim (Padova University, Antico Napoletana, Pane Vino) now carrying on the tradition, even crafting custom off-menu dishes upon request. While some diners find the prices high for the quality, others praise the remarkable service and authentic flavors. Fresh chicken, veal, homemade sauces, sausages, and daily pasta keep the experience true to its roots. Mamma Rosa Restaurant remains a solid choice for those seeking Italian flavors in a cozy, intimate setting.
