Mamma Rosa was a wonderful surprise! We've passed this little restaurant countless times. A friend was raving about how unassuming and how delicious everything was. Well in that case, let's go! There are only 7 tables and it's first come, first served. No reservations so don't bother asking! - Bruschetta - the perfect amount of salt and spice! - Burrata Appetizer - warm, delicious and perfect to split with a party of four - Homemade Meatballs - tender and fantastic. Like your mom makes! - Caesar salad - solid choice - Grilled Lamb Chop - my husband had leftovers from this that he actually ate! - Fettuccini with Sausage - homemade pasta cooked perfectly - Penne Vodka - silky and al dente - Pappardelle Special - truffle, mushrooms, red sauce. So flippin' good! We were too stuffed for dessert, as per! Special shout-out to the staff. They are warm, efficient, and make you feel like they've known you for years. We had the opportunity to meet the chef and that was a huge treat. We couldn't gush any more about how amazing everything was. He was humbled by our enthusiasm! Cash only and BYOB. Any restaurant with a pay phone on the wall is a-okay in my book. Old-school Italian in the house! read more

Good food, the ambience is nice but overall the place is alittle too small. Make sure you have a reservation or come in right when they open or you wont get a table. read more

We had such a wonderful first time experience! Luigi took the time to come over and talk with us, which made us feel so welcome and added such a personal touch to our meal. You can tell he truly cares about his customers and takes pride in his restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were incredibly generous, and everything tasted so fresh. It was obvious that each dish was made with care, and you could really taste the difference. The cozy, intimate atmosphere made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Luigi, for your kindness, hospitality, and for making our evening so memorable. We can't wait to come back and will definitely be recommending your restaurant to family and friends! read more

I'd like to give them zero stars!! Was looking forward to going here..arrived at 8:15 and the RUDE owner came to the door to say they are closed. My friend said that it said online they were open until 9:30. I looked and sure enough it says 9:30 online. So we went inside to double check and let him know and he was so rude to us. We ate elsewhere instead. At 9:50 on the way home I saw people still inside Mamma Rosa. I will not go there ever again. Also the parking lot is very small and good luck not getting hit! Photos will show the hours listed online!! read more

I saw Momma Rosa's on my way home from the Berlin Farmer's Market a few months ago and kept it in the back of my mind. Good Yelp reviews so we tried it for my (early) Mother's Day dinner. Super cozy and cute place. I loved the decor. I don't think that the staff was prepared for so many people on this Saturday night. They open at 5 pm and it was a mad rush! I had eggplant parm and it was very good - Joey, chicken parm - same! My daughter had gnocchi - excellent, and my son had fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, also excellent! No salads with entrees was a small ding. I get that they were busy, but we felt forgotten. Barely even checked on. Meals are made to order, so be prepared to wait. Guess that's where the BYOB comes in - lol! read more

Cute little place, got a seat right away, I think we may have been only the 2nd or third table for a Thursday night- the only tables of the night . Dinner portions are generous, I'll say that. But we were charged $19 for a beet salad- seemed steep. Also I ordered the veal Milanese- felt priced very fairly at $29- but added a side of spaghetti which came out linguine , no biggy - but the side was $12!!!? For pasta and marina? My opinion is similar to others- I'd go back if a friend wants to try it/go...but not on my need to go back for anything list read more

My family and I had an excellent time at this beautiful family-oriented restaurant. The service is personable and attentive, the owner is an Italian sweetheart. The ingredients were fresh and if you cook, you know the best dishes are made from the freshest of ingredients. Amongst the table we ordered chicken parm, penne vodka, veal parm, and veal Milanese and everything was absolutely delish!! Can't wait to come back again, it's not just a restaurant, but rather an experience! read more

The food was so good, I couldn't even take a picture of the food before I ate it!!!! Amazing(: read more

It's a great place overall. Food and service were top notch. Only issue - I don't understand why such as small place wouldn't want to take reservations. We waited about 30 min early on a Friday evening. I won't likely return for that reason only - at least not on a weekend. read more

We came to Jersey for the weekend to go to Diggerland and my wife wanted Italian. I found this restaurant through Yelp and it got good reviews. We were not disappointed, either. We both started off with Caesar salads, which were huge and amazing. They were a lot more expensive than I expected, but very tasty. For the entree, I got the Penne Salerno, which had peas and crabmeat in it. Very good. My wife got the Linguini with meatballs and sausage. The sausage was incredible and the rest of it was cooked to perfection also. The bread and olive oil was also great. You could tell that the olive oil was top grade, not the weak stuff some chains use. For dessert, I had a Tiramisu, which came with strawberries and whipped cream and was amazing. My son had some French vanilla ice cream which was okay. If there was a downside to anything, the ice tea we ordered were canned Brisk teas, and cost us $3 per can. It's been my experience that most of the nicer restaurants have brewed ice tea rather than the cheap canned stuff. Not a deal breaker, though. We really liked this place. The food was excellent and the service was also spot on. I'd definitely go back. read more

Delicious food, great personalized service from the owner. Bring cash as it is cash only! Next time we will skip the apps but know the pasta and the salmon are seasoned well and delicious! read more

New restaurant on the white horse pike across from the little tuna. The staff is very very friendly and accommodating. Decided to do takeout from there to give it a test run and was not disappointed. Went with the classic Italian restaurant test dishes, Chicken parm with spaghetti and Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and a Caesar salad. Everything was fresh, hot and flavorful, food quality and portion sizes are right on par with their very reasonable price points. If I had to give one criticism, I think my only gripe is that bread bread didn't come with the takeout order, which is totally fine, if I had asked for it when when placing the order, I am positive they would have included it, outside of that, it was really great! They offered me utensils and such when I picked up the TO-Go order and were very quick. This is a really friendly experience with a nice family owned and operated restaurant. I very much look forward ordering again. read more

We love this restaurant so much. The food is fantastic as is the staff. Can't recommend this place enough! It's small and intimate.

The best ! Started with flat bread. Thin thin crust with fresh cheese and arugula. Also had beans, which were amazing. I had lamb chops and grilled shrimp. The service was amazing. We certainly will be back, often. read more

Incredible food. Incredible service. The owner was absolutely wonderful he took time to introduce himself and check on us often. We felt like family as soon as we walked in the door. read more

Great tiny byob with flavorful authentic Italian food. For dinner I purchased the mama Rosa pasta which was pasta with pancetta in a creamy vodka sauce. This dish was savory and flavorful. The ambiance is an Italian grandmother's kitchen. We loved everything about this restaurant. Definitely worth a try with your favorite bottle of wine. read more

BYOB gem on the Pike. Limited menu but classic dishes done very well. I always enjoy eating local and Mamma Rosa's did not disappoint! We had the Shrimp & Artichoke starter which nice and light ahead of the pasta we ordered for our entrees. Next we had the Shrimp Alfredo & Penne Granseola which had a good # of shrimp and scallops. Both entrees tasted great and large enough to take some home. Dining experience topped off with a friendly and attentive staff, I would definitely go back without hesitation read more

This dude Albert rated this place 1 star, like he does every single place he does on Yelp minus Outback Steakhouse (?!?!?!), which was 5 stars. If you're looking for a quick bite, this isn't your place. Every meal is literally cooked to order, like mom used to make. You hang out like family. You need to experience this magnificent mom and pop restaurant for yourself. read more

First time here and was blown away by how delicious the food is here. This place reminds me of an old school Italian restaurant you would see in movies. Small place, looks like family run, friendly staff. We got the penne mamma Rosa with chicken and the linguine Alfredo with shrimp. The sauce was very creamy and cheesy with the Alfredo, and the penne was flavorful. We didn't order apps because we knew we wouldn't be able to finish our food had we ordered so but I'm sure they're delicious. Instead, we order desserts and they have a very nice selection of in house made desserts. Me tried to order the pistachio truffle but they were sold out of that so I got the coppa truffle instead and that was a chocolatey flavored pistachio gelato, my wife got something similar but it was made with a mixture of fruit gelato. Overall our dinner experience was great, we can't wait to come back and try their Barzini. The chef who also looks like he could be the owner came out to check on us, ask how our food came out and was just very inviting. Definitely recommend this place! They DO NOT take credit cards, debit cards, and reservations. They're strictly cash only and walk-ins only. Luckily we had cash on us. read more

At first glance, Mamma Rosa is a cute little mom and pop restaurant. Its very homey inside and the service is top tier. The made to order food was incredible and reasonably priced. I had a fantastic time chatting with the staff. I will definitely be back and next time, I won't forget to bring my favorite bottle of wine with me :) read more

Great food. This guy really knows how to cook. My veal was perfect and the pasta is great. The menu is small but you will find a favorite. The only real negative in the food department was the bread. The bread seemed like it came from the Acme. If you are in a rush, this is not the place. . Service was slow but this is a place to take your time and drink your byob wine. read more

Eh, decent/solid but not memorable. I'd go again but wouldn't go out of my way. Food was good overall; could use more taste and spices. Veal parm was solid--a bit greasy and pasta side was miniscule. Appys were very good, but the shrimp and beans only had 2 small shrimp. Service was ok--on the slow side. Good vibe--homey Italian. 3.5 stars overall. BYOB and cash only, which is fine. read more

Heard great things about this unassuming little place and it did not disappoint. Delicious food and excellent service. Will definitely be back! read more

We drove by this place all the time and finally made the decision to try it! We ordered take out - grilled artichokes, pasta salerno, eggplant parm, and side of spinach - all the food was delicious!!!!! The interior is very nice, only a few tables, and the gentleman at the front was incredibly friendly. Only reason I knocked down a star was because we called back to order take out again and weren't treated very nicely. My guess was because it was in the middle of dinner rush - but still, we ended up not ordering from there after the interaction. I would definitely recommend though! read more

Definitely a gem. The best eggplant parmigiana I've had. Friendly service with a smile. Small place but very cozy feel. The owner came out to the table and was very nice and informative about the specials of the night. We will surely be back! read more

All I can say is WOW! The owner was one of the nicest people I've ever come across, the food was to die for and we capped the night off with a velvety smooth cappuccino. Not only was that all phenomenal, but the place itself is stunning. I'm not from the area but if I ever come back to NJ it will be for this place specifically! read more

Me and my sister decided to come randomly to try your Alfredo pasta. My sister had the shrimp Alfredo and loved it. I decided to get chicken, shrimp, and crab meat. OH MY GOD when I tell you the crab mean was so big in my Alfredo it was unbelievable. The food was amazing the bread was amazing. This had to be one of the best Alfredo pasta dishes I've had. The pricing was worth every bit. read more

Cozy ambiance and good food. Garden salad was delicious. Chicken Parm and Penne Salerno were awesome.
