Starters and mains are absolutely banging, would highly recommend! BUT skip the panna cotta, for £7 it’s appalling, a basic panna cotta base with ice cream sauce over the top, would of been so much better to put a few fresh fruits over the top to match the flavour,

Visited for my mums birthday with my family tonight for the first time . Was a bit nervous after reading some reviews on here, but as soon as I walked in with my family, I was welcomed with a smile and directed to my table. Drinks were taken not long after we was seated, and then food orders were not long after that. The spaghetti cabonara was amazing and the pizza looked soo tasty and was approved by my kids who they catered for and was brilliant with. Really enjoyed my meals and Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you mama linas.

Went here at end of April 2024 in a party of eight. Parking was rather haphazard on the edge of a roadway which thankfully was not busy. The first sight of the building is impressive as a refurbished building dated circa 1900. Inside is very clean and nicely laid out. Staff were very polite and friendly. Food and drinks ordered have time to chat.. taking now that even mid week, the place was very popular... A good sign!. Food arrived promptly and was off high quality, tasty and hot. A thoroughly well enjoyed meal for all and a place I have little reservation in recommending. One thing I noticed was that while it claimed authentic Italian cuisine, the prices reflected this and for me, not a place if visit regularly because of the price. That said, we all had a lovely experience here.

Called in on a Wednesday night hoping that they would have a spare table as we hadn't booked. We were shown straight to a table :-) We really fancied pizza and Mamma Linas you never ever disappoint - we went on holiday to Sicily last year and ate many pizzas but none were as good as yours! You are definitely our favourite restaurant and we'll be back soon :-)

We attended for my daughter’s 18th birthday meal with high expectations. Quickly realised when the starters were served that the food isn’t up to standard. Very much similar to an m&s meal deal, no veg served separately and basic.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome, making us feel right at home. The restaurant’s laid-back vibe and charming décor set the perfect tone for a relaxed family gathering. Now, let’s talk about the food. It was fantastic! From the cheesy garlic bread to start, to the hearty pizzas and pastas, every dish was bursting with flavour and made with love. And the portions? Generous enough to satisfy even the heartiest appetites! We couldn’t resist indulging in a few desserts, and the tiramisu was a standout – light, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness to end our meal on a high note. But what really made our experience special was the friendly staff who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. From accommodating our large group to keeping our glasses full, they were attentive and welcoming throughout the evening. If you’re looking for a casual spot to celebrate a family birthday or any special occasion, this is the place to be. We left with full bellies and happy hearts, already planning our next visit. Grazie.

Wonderful authentic Italian food made with love and care. We went there today for a family meal with 9 of us on Mothering Sunday- one of the busiest days of the year, so service understandably took time. But it added to the chatty Italian vibe and we had a great time catching up with each other between courses. The starter of mussels in s spicey tomatoe sauce, and Linguine Vongole (clams) were stars of the show for me- I will be dreaming about them until we go back! The staff were friendly, accommodating and warm- both the younger servers and the family owners. The perfect day to spoil us Mum's! The children very much enjoyed the experience too.

From the moment we walked in, I knew we’d made a mistake booking this place. The decor was tired and old fashioned and there were lots of teenage waiting staff stood around looking either bored and giggling. The food was even worse, calamari that was like eating rubber tyres. Sent back once but came out like rubber again. My husband had Italian sausage that was literally a sausage in a plate with sauce poured over. The main chicken was dry as a bone and the sauce tasted identical to Heinz tomato soup. Husbands lamb was sliced thin and covered in what tasted like bisto with mint sauce. Potatoes were undercooked and veg was boiled a bland. I told them this and was met with hostility. No apology and down right rude. One of the worst meals I’ve ever had out. How on earth they have so many good reviews is worrying.

This is an absolute gem in the area! Had food from here for the first time today and it’s absolutely outstanding! They offer sit in and a take away service so we ordered food for collection, we collected at the time we input on the website and I had such a warm welcome, all staff were super friendly and one lady had a good chat to me about food & Italy she was so so nice! The food was boiling hot and clearly cooked fresh, it was all absolutely beautiful, the portion sizes are more than generous, I only just got half way through my portion and stuffed! The prices are more than reasonable for what you get! Thank you so much! Noticed while ordering they cater for a wide range of dietary requirements including gluten free pasta! Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Authentic Italian food and excellent service. We visited Mamma Lina's last night as a family of 3 and had another fantastic meal. We have been to the resturant before but in larger parties and it has never disappointed. On arrival we were warmly welcomed and seated to our table. The waitress was friensly and helpful and suggested the perfect wine to accompany the steak that I ordered. Husbands pasta dish was delicious and my daughters pizza was huge! For dessert we ordered Tirammiso which was absolutely stunning! Highly recommend trying the cocktails and the lemonchello was the best I've tried outside of Italy. Delicious meal, excellent service, great atmosphere and child friendly! Thanks for a lovely evening we will definitely come back again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Friends night out, booked and upon arrival shown to our table. Very busy a good sign. 20 minutes to take a drinks order. Staff very sullen! Food order taken and took 1.5 hours for main courses to arrive, arrived and tepid in heat. No check backs from staff at all, no asking if we needed any drinks; we had to ask for black pepper and Parmesan with our main course and to be honest you would have thought we asked a waitress for one of her kidneys! Desserts we had to ask for menu, two menus between three we didn’t get dessert as no one came back after 15 minutes to take an order. During the main course a waitress accidentally bumped into our table, total accident but could have caused a serious incident as one of the party had a fork in her mouth at the time. No apology or checking she was okay. Asked for bill to be told we had to wait to pay as they only had one card machine as the other one was upstairs… mmmm go upstairs and get one then. Paid and spoke to the manageress who said her staff were sick. Staff were agency and she was in the kitchen I explained that if you have agency staff you need to be overseeing they are representing your standards; she kept saying ‘really’ as I outlined our experience tonight. Told her about the accident and she laughed and said it was an accident I agreed but the follow up was poor. I explained this was my first and would be my last visit. No real apology! Appalling give this place a wide berth!

Been to Mamma Lina's a lot of times now and wanted give my review. The staff are lovely and hats off to their speedy service, me and my partner were never left waiting long for drinks or our food. We had Trio Di Bruschetta for starters and it was stunning and could honestly eat that all day! I had the Lasagna and my girlfriend had the Spaghetti Pollo E Funghi for our mains and we were both impressed. Fresh and tasty also very filling which is what you want, definitely up there with the best Lasagna I've had along with my Nana's which is the best compliment I can give and my girlfriend demolished her plate which is rare. Had the tiramisu for dessert and wanted to lick the plate clean, really affordable and you definitely get what you pay for. Our favourite restaurant and we will continue visiting for as long as it's open.

Have been here three or four times but today was slightly disappointing, food was tasty but waitresses not at all attentive, starters were average, mains likewise but no Parmesan offered or black pepper. Rack of lamb was questionable and probably a lamb steak cut up and overcooked certainly not a rack of lamb which should be on the bone. The pasta dishes looked as if they had been reheated or microwaved. Desserts ok. The guy serving drinks was very good.

I have visited this restaurant on numerous occasions with family and friends and always thoroughly enjoyed it but on this occasion disastrous!!! I appreciate that this is a busy time of year but this was not a good visit. We waited at the entrance to be greeted for 10 minutes as staff rushed past looking the other way without any acknowledgment. Got talking to another couple waiting who had told us they’d only booked an hour previously in an obviously over busy restaurant. When our starters arrived the garlic mushrooms on the warm bruschetta were freezing cold. They were sent back for an alternative starter which then came out wrong so that went back as well. My 2 friends main meals came out and 20 minutes later I was still waiting for mine. When I called the waitress over she asked without apology what I’d ordered-another 10 minutes later my food arrived. I’ve always raved about this restaurant but I’m sorry I don’t think I’ll be back any time soon.

Booked for 8pm, we had our starters at 9.20!! The waitress, despite wearing a christmas jumper saying "Ho Ho Ho" definitely wasn't feeling it. We also ordered olives and bread while we waited. The olives didn't arrive until we chased them after about half an hour, at which point she said the bread will be 5 minutes. We never received the bread!! When we were eventually served our food it was quite good, though the vegetables felt like they had been hanging around a bit. I accept its Christmas and they're busy, but don't book as many people in if you can't provide the service. And please, ask your staff to at least smile at the customers.

We visited at the beginning of the month to celebrate our anniversary. We live nearby and have visited a few times before. Unfortunately the current front of house/waitresses let the place down. My husband had asked for a quiet table for two when he booked but we were sat at a table in the middle of the restaurant - surrounded on all sides and so close to the ladies next to us that we heard their entire conversation. After being shown to our table we sat waiting to be offered a drink for ages- it was quite strange. We weren’t offered any further drinks despite being keen to celebrate with a few cocktails- and having to flag down staff in the end. It wasn’t particularly busy and there were plenty of staff standing around at the bar. The staff chatted between themselves for the whole time we were there, with no notice of the customers. I don’t think we even received eye contact at any point, let alone a smile. We didn’t even get a farewell as we left (walking straight past them!) until we practically shouted goodbye! Such as shame as the food is lovely and it’s practically on our doorstep.

Visited with family to celebrate my birthday. Covid safe when greeted with checking temperature etc & lady on front desk very welcoming however unfortunately that’s where it stopped. We were sat in what can only be called the canteen off to the left - sat right in the hot sun beating through the window, my dad was struggling with the heat - when asked if anything could be done the gentleman serving just sort of raised his hands in the air... the room is so echoey and loud, with much more of a party vibe, we couldn’t hear ourselves think. I’m 7 months pregnant and would have preferred a much quieter meal with my parents to catch up rather than feeling as if each table is competing over each other to be the loudest.When being served, we felt rushed to have to give an order. We wanted some bread, oil & extras for the table and maybe the gentleman serving couldn’t understand us or hear us(!!!) but we had just one ciabatta roll with an oil dip, put on the table and off he went before I could say we will need more. Mains were lovely however we waited a little while considering they rushed for the order, we thought the food was a little slow. Offered drinks and dessert was great. We were left too long at the end of the meal waiting on the bill. In a warm room, with very loud tables we were happy to dash to pay at the bar and get out to give our ears a break. I feel a little “hmmm” about the experience. I would go again but would make sure I would request to sit in the other part of the restaurant - it just seemed nicer and more our type of gathering. Blinds need to be put in the windows because the sun is unbearable - especially when there is nothing that can be done other than a shrug of the shoulders. Perhaps it would be worth capitalising on the fact you have a table of 5 hungry people and offer bread/olives/oil etc for the table enough for the amount of people if not going for mains. Maybe just make us feel a little more wanted as customers rather than we’re on a conveyor belt? All felt a bit of a whirlwind and experience really over shadowed the food which I’m sure if I could have relaxed and enjoyed it would have been great.

Great food and socially distanced dining. We felt very safe as the staff wore masks and checked temperatures on the way in. The tables were also spread out. We have eaten here before and the food has always been prepared to a high standard.

Like a couple of recent reviewers we had heard great things about Mamma Lina’s and were very much looking forward to giving it a try.Covid measures on arrival were very good and we were more than comfortable being led to our table of four. Starters arrived very quickly including a few of the usual suspects. Nothing wrong but nothing special either.Once again, mains arrived very quickly and although nothing amiss neither was there anything bursting with flavour, a little disappointing.Service was excellent and all staff very friendly but we all felt the foods was no better than the average Italian restaurant. Shame as during these crazy times we have not been out much but it was nice to be out and feel a bit of normality.

We’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for a while after hearing good reviews from friends and colleagues. The food wasn’t bad, but not good enough to return. We had starters and mains, and the starters seemed a little overpriced for what we got (sausage starter and tomato/mozzarella starter). There wasn’t much chicken in my pasta dish, and my partners veal main dish wasn’t very generous... the plate was mostly filled with sauce. I can’t say there was anything wrong with the taste of the food, but with the quantity and quality of the ingredients we were left a little underwhelmed. Staff were great. Quick service (maybe a bit too quick for some), and felt totally safe with their COVID measures. I don’t feel that it was worth the money unfortunately.

Wonderful food - pollo mamma lina, lasagne, chips and sauté potatoes... fantastic! And 20% off the bill as an Autumn offer. We’ll be ordering again!

Thank goodness they will be delivering during lockdown ... would so recommend this place.. grazie x

We really wanted to love this place and as much as it wasn't awful, it certainly didn't meet our expectations!From a Covid point of view, everything was as you'd expect from the moment you walk in. Pleasant, comfortable surroundings, with a relaxed atmosphere. Service was fast, maybe a little too fast between courses. Our starters were bland and underwhelming, my Husband's Calzone, however, was lovely, fresh and definitely worth returning for but sadly my main was poor. The vegetables - carrots, green beans and potatoes had no flavour at all, in fact the carrots and green beans tasted completely of water with the odd hint of oregano. I dont think I've ever eaten a carrot or greenbean that's never had any flavour, ever! The white wine sauce, again, was bland and lacking any real flavour.Staff were great, good selection of drinks but the food, other than the Pizza, was poor and definitely didn't warrant the price tag. Sad to say, if we do return again, it will be purely for the pizza.

Decided on an Italian for our Saturday evening takeaway. A few of us had the lasagna the rest had pizzaCan’t say we were over impressed the lasagna was very plain,not a lot of taste, pretty much average. The pizza’s went down better would of been helpful if they were sliced but that wasn’t a drama. Quite expensive for the amount and quality.

We visited rogerstone and booked on a Monday evening, enjoyed the first time so much we booked for another night in the same week. There were 5 adults and our toddler both visits. The service was fantastic, friendly and professional throughout. Attentive but not overbearing.Wine selection was good - nice to try something a bit different and see some proper Italian options on there. The pizzas were incredible, some of the best we have tasted, super light dough and tasty toppings.A couple of the meals were good, but not fantastic. Nothing wrong per se, but lacking a little flavour. Hence 4 not 5 stars.Beautiful dessert cocktails. Impressive Covid precautions, we felt safe and the restaurant was spotless. Will return again in the future!

Just back from a fantastic evening at Mamma Lina's for my daughter's birthday. Honestly a faultless experience. From the warm and friendly welcome upon arrival to the delicious food, our evening could not have gone better. They were busy but socially distanced tables and temp checks on arrival meant we felt safe and the staff were so friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. I had the stunning meatball starter and a ribeye steak which was all cooked to perfection. To top it all off they were offering eat out to help out throught Sept (On Mon/Tues/Weds so we had a big saving on our bill. We will be back soon for sure!! Loved it xx

I have visited here twice since “lockdown” has ended and was impressed both times with how careful the staff are with their temperature checks and social distancing. There is an option to view the menu on your phone using a QR code but for those who don’t want to, they have laminated menus. I’d say the food is well priced but the drinks are rather overpriced in my opinion. The staff are friendly and do the whole social distancing interaction well. There is an option to have an early bird menu before 6:30 but we didn’t know this until we got there as the website is not up to date and there is also loads more choice on the actual menu. Meatballs are a must try! And the hazelnut ice cream is amazing. Authentic food and friendly staff, it’s definitely worth visiting!

Impressed on arrival by the cleanliness, temperature check and sanitizer. Wait staff wore masks but tables should have been a little further apart. Food quality was very good but service was lacking a little.Would definitely return.Good night good company.

Popped here for lunch and what a little treasure. Very quirky restaurant nestled in the lovely cobblestone street off the high street in Caerleon. The food was absolutely amazing! Staff very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be going back to try out their pizzeria evening. Lovely cakes for sale too but I couldn’t fit another morsel in!

Angie and the team were so friendly and kind. 💖 The "super" [huge] vegan breakfast was top-notch too Bring cash if possible! Paid for my drink with card, but I got cash out when I returned for food. Well worth breaking habit for such a nice place + people.

Food was very nice, loads of flavour! Plenty of options on their menu. Service was 10/10, the two ladies on shift was really friendly & got you involved in conversations. All the locals are lovely too, really welcoming to the area.
