    "My passion for cooking can only be compared to the immeasurable love I have for my sons."
    Allison B.

    This is one of the best dining experiences of my life. The quality, freshness, and simplicity of the ingredients allows you to experience what looks like a meal you may have many places around the world, in an entirely different way. The love is in every bite. The atmosphere here is casual but warm, and the service was fast, friendly and informal-like everyone is Mamma's family vibes. Do yourself a solid and go here. My husband ordered the octopus/ pistachio pasta (not pictured) and that knocked out socks off as well.

    Mamma Rosa's was a local recommendation and not located on the busy shopping streets of Salerno. You need to know of the place. Colorful seafood plates decorate the outside walls. The modest exterior displays several clocks Indicating time of operation. 12:40 seemed odd, but we returned at 12:30 to stand in line for opening and asked if we had a reservation. Upon entering the restaurant tables filled in minutes with locals. The wait staff speak English , but Mamma Rosa comes to your table to take the order translated by her staff. The English menu is viewable by QR code. Lots of seafood. We chose bruschetta and a pasta dish. Both delicious but the pasta absolutely divine. A big bottle of Voila Red beer, two glasses of wine, bottle of water and two life changing lemon sorbets later we felt this was one of our best lunches of our month long trip. Total for three was 65 euros. An Outstanding lunch.

    Food was excellent. Everything from the appetizers to our meals. Reservations are recommended.

    What a special find this place was. The staff was super friendly and family owned. I regret never getting the name of Mama Rosa's son who helped us but he was the epitome of Italian hospitality. By far one of the best places I have had in Italy! Don't fall into the tourist traps of some typical places and please do yourself the favor and come here. The seafood is amazing and you can taste the love that goes into their food. Thank you again for serving us such a special meal and for your generosity your Chinese friends from San Francisco !

    Quintessential experience in Salerno. Fresh seafood, affordable prices, Italian locals, and warm staff. I felt at home here.

    We suddenly realized this was a special place as the owner ordered our meal which was several courses along with a great house wine.

    We stayed in an apartment with a small balcony that was directly above this restaurant and were…read moreenthralled by the aroma wafting up, so had to try it. Absolutely wonderful experience, family run place with outstanding service and incredible food. I had the pasta with light tomato/oil and seafood (mussels, clams, scampi etc). 10/10 rating, definitely recommend and hope to return again some day. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g187781-d2478112-r1034005822-Osteria_Dedicato_a_Mio_Padre-Salerno_Amalfi_Coast_Province_of_Salerno_Campania.html#

    some dishes were vegetarian friendly! hard to find around here, and i can't speak to the seafood…read morebut! the spaghetti with zucchini was lovely, really just buttery olive oil and parm for the sauce and some perhaps not wonderfully fresh veggies but still good! my friend had the cacio e pepe and ahm... hers was really just noodles doused in olive oil and minimal cheese nor pepper/ no salt. the oil didn't have even a taste of olive-oilness. I think i got luckyy, she said hers tasted like it had been put through the dishwasher once bread was fully just rocks from the Amalfi cliffs themselves. giving three stars because the family running was SO SWEET and friendly and made us feel at home. gave everyone free savory pastry when seated and i wanted to love this place, even had yelp out with a drafted 5 star review before the food came out :( i would go again!! but ONLY for the zucchini spaghetti!!!
