" Mamma Lyn wanted a classy night in Italy so we took her to Mamma Rosa Restaurant! Candle light, classic songs and jovial laughter filled the air, Chianti sipped and fresh handmade pasta plated… Viva Italia! It began as a dream, first gelato shop then that cozy culinary treat serving nonna’s recipes since 1984 when Rosa and Giacomo Anfuso brought their love of Sicily to the beautiful okanagan. Son James joined the vision for many years keeping the tradition alive until passing the torch to Mansor Abrahim (Padova University, Antico Napoletana, Pane Vino) this January. Best local and imported ingredients, fresh chicken and veal with Rosa’s signature recipes and homemade daily sauces, sausages, and pasta- it’s in great hands! Thank you Chef for visiting the table! Lovely service and wonderful food! Thank you Kate and Arisha for your warm and fun hospitality! 🏆❤️🍷🥖🍝 Can’t wait to come back! Reminiscent of our NYC, Philly, Chicago, San Fran, Montreal, Toronto gems. Very much like Ralph’s in Philly! ❤️"

"My boyfriend and I went to Mamma Rosa for our last dinner in Kelowna. The place is recommended by our nice tourist guide Dave who spoke highly of the place. The atmosphere is truly lovely. It is filled with paintings and colours that represents the beauty of culture of Italy. The food was superb! It takes about 20-30 mins before the food arrives but you can tell that everything is made from scratch, even the sauces they use. This nice young lady came up to our table to show what all their desserts look like. We ended up getting the cheesecake which tastes soo good! Highly recommend.😊 "

"Feels very authentic from the first step. Rustic and homey. Food is some of the best Italian, especially for the price. Very good service, our glasses were never even close to being empty. They also surprised us with a dessert in celebration of a birthday! Simply a great dining experience."

"The kids wanted to have dinner at an Italian restaurant, so we decided to try Mamma Rosa as we were in downtown. Since we weren't very familiar with the menu, we asked for some recommendations. We tried their appetizers, pasta, pizza, and lasagna. The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. We were so full that we took home the leftovers. The ambience was very nice. The waiters were friendly. We definitely plan to visit again!"
