We lived in Kelowna for 23 years and celebrated our anniversary at Mama Rosa's almost very year. We moved away three years ago - this year we made a special trip back just to be at Mama's Rosa's! The menu has a choice for every taste. We like the seafood dishes, but there is lots of beef and pollo and... More 

We found this restaurant by putting Italian food on our GPS, are we glad we did. This restaurant is a must for anyone looking for great tasting food and good service. The food was hot, served quickly and very tasty. We got the last table left in the restaurant when we got there. reservations are recommended. You can tell the... More 

We walked in on a Thursday night, and were lucky to get a seat straight away. Customers coming in later were being booked for later times. We only had a pasta course each - the Lobster Cannelloni & and the Penne Arrabbiata. Both were delicious, and came with a side serving of garlic bread. Despite the restaurant being full, the...

Definitely make a reservation for this spot. We went on a Tuesday night and were glad we'd called ahead as it's a small place, but that only adds to the atmosphere. Very quaint, cute decor. The food was excellent too. The lasagna was fantastic!

We were greeted by a very snarky individual who threw the menus on a table and walked away. We asked to be moved to another table and were simply told NO. At that point we left, didn't even open the menu. We were really looking forward to having a meal at Momma Rosa's as it came highly recommended.

Step into this kitchy Italian restaurant and be prepared for generous portion sizes and ever-flowing wine. Mamma Rosa is a bit off the main drag in Kelowna but (if you walk) it provides a nice after dinner walk to stave off the food coma. Straight to the point, the highlight of our dinner was the spinach shells: 4 large shells... More 

What a wonderful little Italian restaurant! Red and white checkered table cloths and nice atmosphere. The food was delicious with homemade pastas and great Chianti. It's a real family run business and you can tell that by the attentive service and their welcoming attitude. You'll need to make reservations because people in Kelowna know how great this place is!

Live in Vernon and usually eat in very similar Italian family owned restaurant. However, was craving great pasta and my local favourite was closed. So we made reservations at Mamma's. OMG was so not disappointed. We had the steamed mussels appetizer. Sauce was sooo good was going to drink it out of the bowl LOL. Entrees were made with fresh... More 

The pasta was not al dente and really, our meal was nothing to write about. We paid premier prices and the food was just so so. Penne Arrabiatta was lacking in any flavour, just tasted like tomato sauce. The menu is huge, too many choices and I suspect the care does not go into every dish. Way too pricey for... More
