I love coffee. Regardless of the hour they always make me a fresh pot. They have never served me cold, old harsh coffee. Every server is a gem💎

We got food to go and it was delicious! The dining room was packed. They had a bar outside that looked like a great place to hang out.

Pizza is okay but it's expensive and the toppings are sparse. Even if you pay for extra cheese, there's still hardly any cheese on it. The subs and salads are mostly terrible. The steak & cheese had like two thin steakums on it. We opened the sandwich and just laughed. And the salads contained big chunks of lettuce cores, the parts you throw away! I think the chef needs glasses.... And service was slooooooooooow.

Maybe the ownership or cooks have changed. We used to like the place but we'll never go back.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Momma Rosa’s Italian Restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality—the staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel like family (the kind you want to visit).

I started with the meatball appetizer, and honestly? I could write poetry about those meatballs. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and smothered in a rich, flavorful sauce that made me want to lick the plate (don’t worry—I didn’t, but I thought about it).

Then came the calzone… and let me just say, it was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly baked crust, generous fillings, and that beautiful balance of cheese, sauce, and sheer joy. I’m still thinking about it.

The restaurant itself was spotless—clean and cozy without trying too hard. You can tell the folks here care about what they’re doing.

If you’re even remotely nearby, do yourself a favor and eat here. I left full, happy, and slightly emotional. Momma Rosa, whoever you are—thank you.

Now, I remember why I don't eat here as often as I used to. The service has been bad for years but the food made up for it . But the last 3 times I been there, it just keeps getting less desirable. And the visits where months apart.

Food is very good and the staff are very friendly.
Been dining there since 2019 and never had a negative experience.
Prices are very reasonable.
