Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Always busy so worth booking. Had another lovely meal here. Great service, so much choice. Fillet steak with Dolchette sauce was excellent. Meatball pasta beautiful. Limoncello dessert, lovely and a decent glass of wine. The crispy potatoes and fresh veg are also very tasty. Best...restuarant in LB and surrounding area. Minor point...maybe Italian bread with the starters rather than that served would be more authentic.More

We haven’t dined there in a very long time, we met up with friends and all agreed to go there . We were seated off the main area which is a better experience as it quieter so at least you can hear each other ....The service is excellent, they are incredibly friendly ,attentive and also efficient and make you feel your custom is important and appreciated. Food - All of starters and our mains were expertly prepared , they tasted absolutely amazing and due to the potion sizes there was no room for dessert which I’m sure would have been equally as enjoyable , will leave a little room for next time. I mentioned wasn’t drinking and was offered an alcohol free lager by the waiter which I thought was nice touch as I’ve been to other places where they either don’t serve them or simply ask if you want fruit juice . We recently dined at another so called Italian restaurant while we were away which I submitted a review for and will say they need to visit Mama Rosa’s to learn what it takes before you proclaim you are an Italian restaurant. We had a great evening out catching up with our friends and this restaurant was the perfect complement to this.More

Food was fresh & superb, staff welcome & service outstanding, delightful ambience of the restaurant, huge choices on the menu, I have run out of superlatives to describe this gastronomic "star" in our town, where the owner is also the chef. As for the prices...mentioned by other reviewers, I can only say that this level of quality comes at a price which, as far as I am concerned, is worth every penny! I doubt you will be disappointed & my 80th birthday concluded by meeting the chef/owner & thanking him for his hard work & efforts.. Mama Mia, Mama Rosa! Good luck & best wishes to you all.More

Not been for a while, food is still great we love the bruschetta pizza. But... we were staggered ny the prices, 19 pounds for a chicken main, that's a little excessive. For 3 adults (one driving) we parted with 108 pounds, for Garlic bread +...pizza starter, 3 chicken mains, one 26 pound bottle of red and 2 large cokes. And the most ridiculous were the cokes 4.50 - unrealMore

we do love Mama Rosa, the food is always good and so is the service but the latest price increase is very steep. Us as a family will now have to cut down on our visits, simply to expensive. £ 18 for a Pizza is...not what we can pay. We are aware of how expensive everything is but we can only safe on things like a meal out.More

You won’t go hungry here! Portions are huge, but if you can’t eat it all, the staff will arrange a doggy bag so you can take it home. Lovely food, pleasant staff and a good ambience.

We actually had a takeaway from Mama Rosa. The menu was slightly cutdown but not the quality or flavour. Really good. They have limited slots for this service so be quick.

Visited with 2 friends after several years. A friendly welcome, great service and really good food in abundance. The gambaroni alla Vesuvio was absolutely superb, delicious as a starter. Really well prepared steaks as well.
