I just tried the spinach and ricotta lasagna for take-out. It was one of the best lasagnas I've ever had! I highly recommend it! The girl on the phone was nice and knowledgeable while ordering too. I was a little taken aback by the prices at first, but it was a big portion, came with garlic bread and I have... More

This little gem next to the sex shop would not be somewhere you would bring family if you didn't know it had THE BEST food! It is small, cozy and BUSY, so reserve or get there early! Mussels were gorgeous, the pasta, fresh and tasty. We had quite a large party dining and the service was top notch. All our... More

The pasta dishes were fantastic. Veal Parmesan not the best. Servers were very attentive and excellent. Even though it was extremely busy, they never missed a beat and had an accurate evening which is hard to do.

We've been coming to Mamma Rosa's since I was little. The pasta is authentic and always delicious. The location on Lawrence isn't prime, but that's part of the experience! It's a fabulous little restaurant and I hope it never changes.

Great Homemade Pasta! Best in Kelowna by far. Can easily split a meal between 2 people. Quaint Atmosphere.

Was not happy with this place at all. The restaurant is laid out oddly in one square room with little to no atmosphere or intimacy. There is only a one-person bathroom for ladies and one for men. We sat by the window which was very drafty. They brought garlic bread to start that was toasted to a hard slab. I... More

There was a lot of hype about this restaurant so we simply had to try it. Our thoughts are: PRO - great, friendly service. The food came out very quick. The desserts are excellent. The homemade peanut butter cake is great and we enjoyed the tuxedo cake. CONS - the decor could use some updating, kind of like being in... More

Four of us dined at Mamma Rosa's last night and everything we had was outstanding, from the bison carpaccio to the lobster and crab ravioli to the homemade sausage. Fresh pasta, friendly service and great wine list. Rosa was even in the kitchen and came out to meet us when we asked if we could thank her personally. We'll definitely... More
