Big mistake. We ordered two pizzas to go. I guess my expectations are way to high for the area. I'm from out of state. Even with my higher expectations this wouldn't register! The crust was thin as I like but it was an over cooked corrugated piece of tasteless cardboard. The sauce, cheese and toppings were dissolved into the "cardboard". I can't believe this could be called a pizza. Let alone something edible. I couldn't even take a photo because it was so pitiful looking. My family & I did force ourselves to taste it because those two pies plus tip were $28. We were So disappointed. I guess my search for decent NY style pizza will have to continue. Stay tuned!

The brussel sprouts to start were also good but could've used a bit more gorgonzola cheese on top. I loved the seafood pasta in the saffron butter sauce. They were able to modify it to be gluten free using their gf penne pasta. Great texture and cooked to al dente! My only note would be that they only served brunch on Sundays from opening until 2pm. We arrived at around 1:30pm and I would've preferred items from the regular lunch menu but it wasn't available. They actually start serving dinner at 2pm on Sundays which I also found strange. Not a big deal but just something to keep in mind if you're scoping out the menus beforehand!

During a later call Vincenzo guided me on food selections and room set up. Top notch concierge service! La Stanza is well laid out. Several guests commented on how the room had that 'new car' fresh smell. The bathrooms in La Stanza are exquisite. Maddy was our host/server. She was with us the entire evening. She was very accommodating, professional, and approachable. Her experience in this environment was evident. The food... C'mon, it's how Italian should always be done! Flavorful, cooked to perfection, authentic and hot. The banquet menu provided comprehensive choices and Vincenzo allows flexibility to go rogue. Thank you, Vin, and Maddy for a great and successful evening.

I also have ordered a couple different pizzas from there. The only one I have not liked was their white Pizza. It was lacking the ricotta and fresh mozzarella and I requested fresh basil on it and get that so that was a total miss and I would not suggest it to anyone. Now I would definitely say that their supreme pizza is excellent, better with sweet pickled peppers, and the pepperoni pizza is really a great basic pepperoni pizza. The pizza crust is definitely a New York style pizza crust. I w would really like a touch more of a robust yeast flavor to the crust, but this part of Delaware it is very difficult to find that kind of crust. Just stay clear of their white pizza. I have not tried anything else off their menu.Wish they offered homemade hearty soups in the fall and winter..

So: I passionately enjoyed my dinner at Mamma Roma. The reason that this is unusual is because I'm…read morenot big on going out for Italian food much at restaurants - other than on holidays - since I eat so much Italian food at home. I can make an exception for more casual Italian meals at only a handful of Italian restaurants, and Mamma Roma's is now one. Growing up partially Italian, and a mix of other ethnicities, my family cooks Italian better, of course, than at any restaurant. No one made better Italian dinners than my Na-na (grandmother). But Momma Roma's hummus cream rigatoni could definitely keep me coming back for more. No one made better meatballs than my Mom but the meatballs at Mamma Roma's are flavorful enough. No one made better sauce than my Aunt #1 but the sauce on Momma Roma's ravioli was good and so fresh. And no one made better cookies than my Aunt #2, but Momma Roma's cannolis and rum cookies are tasty. There are a lot of Italian restaurants in the area and I've read that Mamma Roma's is one of, if not, the best. I can only say that while my first visit here a decade ago was fine, this visit goes into my memory as "need to get back there, eventually, if not sooner," after delighting in their new menu item: a creamy hummus rigatoni with sausage. I love hummus, though wasn't really sure if the texture of hummus sauce would be too gritty. It was not. It had a lovely, substantial flavor and silky texture that was balanced well by the impeccably-cooked al dente rigatoni. Add to that the garlic, cream, sausage and herbs in this dish and you've got a winner. I highly recommend this rigatoni, of the 3 rigatoni entrees on Mamma Roma's menu. I haven't even tried the other rigatoni dishes, but still ... don't miss this creamy, garlicky hummus dinner. And the portions of rigatoni in this dish were very generous. The presentation of the lasagna was impressive, in layering and shape. I only had a bite. It had a nice flavor, but I would have needed more bites to give a better description. And since it wasn't my order, I could not indulge. The portion was generous. Also, I would never order lasagna from any restaurant given the reasons cited earlier, but this one was good. I hope someone is laughing because anyone who has grown up in a subcultural group in the US usually sounds exactly like me about the home-cooking they grew up on. Another of Mamma Roma's menu items I'd like to try is their corn and arugula white pizza. I've only found one lovely corn pizza ever at Zelo's in an LA suburb, so now that I have seen this on their menu my curiosity is piqued. Love love love the variety of the dessert menu options. It's not just the desserts in the case on display that you can order. While there are gorgeous cookies on display, the dessert menu has a long, lovely list of all kinds of variations of cheesecakes and cakes. I would like to try the lemon cake on a return visit. And more of the cookie flavors! When I asked the barista what the top desserts were, he was quick to name the cannoli as a first. You'd probably be surprised to find out that this is a counter service approach: you order and pay up at the front and the waiter brings you your food and whatever else you need. You get your own fountain drinks or tea with ice. You can tip in advance, in good faith, when you order in the beginning or you can leave cash on the table at the end of the meal, having already paid your bill in the beginning. There is also the charming dessert counter/bar and espresso area that I mentioned earlier. So, when you are finished with your lunch or dinner, you can go to the barista's counter and order dessert and cappuccino. I love that if you order cake or a cannoli, a cappuccino is only $2. This is an awesome value especially for the evening crowd. For old school Anne Arundel county and Annapolis locals, Mamma Roma's is better than the original Squisito's pizza -- and higher in quality -- but it is a bit reminiscent of that restaurant in terms of popularity and a family feel. Plus, I have never tried the pizza here, but I'm guessing it's good given the quality of the ingredients and preparations we experienced with the pasta dishes. One thing that also really stands out about Mamma Roma's is that they are the only Italian restaurant that is nestled back in the suburban Piney Orchard division of Gambrills. In other words, it's more neighborly there vs. other restaurants along the majorly-trafficked Route 3 corridor. The restaurants along Route 3 have many more transients coming in, given the ease of access, so they are naturally less neighborly. Finally, when we brought our leftovers from dinner home I set them on the kitchen table and left them for a bit. When I came back into our kitchen, it was filled with such delicious aromas! Friends, this is just how fresh the food at Mamma Roma's is. For a casual, counter service suburban, it is quite bellissima!
