Mama Roma

Went with friends for their last dinner in Cape Town. The pasta and gnocchi were splendid and very filling. Great salad bowl and delicious dessert, especially the sorbet which highlighted the end to a wonderful evening. Loved that it's a family run business, and that the owner checked on everyone and made sure we were all comfortable and enjoying the experience. Do book in advance and know that there is parking in the basement or on the road for you. It was lovely to see many local elderly ladies and gentlemen having dinner. We could see they were mostly regulars who grew up with the restaurant itself and enjoyed every moment of their stay. Thank you for the great memory created for everyone. Their will definitely be mentions of Mamma Roma when anyone wants delicious pasta. Take care...

Went with friends on Valentine’s Day. The waiter Nick, if I remember correctly and owners were impeccably hospitable and the food was excellent and generously portioned . I loved how perfectly cooked my seafood pasta was and the prawn pasta sauce was absolutely delicious. The pesto gnocchi? . We got cheesecake and tiramisu for dessert. Unfortunately the cheesecake was too sweet for my liking but the tiramisu was good. Highly recommend.

Way better than I expected. My parents took my wife, and I. Excellent Italian food. I had the best restaurant lasagne I've ever tasted. Atmosphere and service unobtrusive and conducive to good conversation and good food.Food: 5/5

I recently dined at Mamma Roma and unfortunately, my experience fell short of my expectations. While the restaurant had some positive aspects, I cannot overlook the rude and unfriendly behaviour displayed by the management. Upon entering the restaurant, I had hoped for a warm and welcoming atmosphere. However, I found the management's attitude to be quite off-putting. Their lack of friendliness and professionalism left a lasting impression on my visit.

First time I went to Mamma Roma they were fully booked and now I understand why. One of the Best seafood pasta I had in Cape Town perfectly cooked seafood and amazing service. Super excited to go back!

Really good. The mamas Roma chicken has this velvety mushroom sauce that's just amazing... My wife had the ladies filet, and and what a good cut of meat, well seasoned and grilled. Nice ambiance, good and fast service too.

What a fantastic Italian restaurant!! I had the liver and linguini which was such a generous portion and loads of veggies! that I wasn't sure I could finish it but I couldn't resist each mouthful. Coffee was also really good. Just amazing. And it is open on a Monday!!Food: 5/5

A lovely family orientated italian restaurant with a personal touch and authentic dishes. The staff and owner were very hospitable and made sure that we were comforable at all times. The pastas were made to perfection and the wine selection was great. I will definitely be back

We had a really lovely meal here recently. Steak, a nice salad, and generous sides. Our waitress was lively and knowledgeable. Will most definitely be back on a regular basis. Parking: There is underground parking available in the Dean Street arcade to utilize. Might even be free in the evenings?
