This place should be busy every night! Had one of the best Italian meals with my family in ages; a really wholesome restaurant with tasty food at great prices! I couldn't recommend the liver enough!

My family have been going here for years, since I was a kid. I had my wedding reception here. The food is amazing! Leonardo & Rosa have always been so welcoming and the wine selection is great. I look forward to bringing my children here.

I visited Mama Mia in North Hill Gate today around 4:45 PM with a friend and three children. Unfortunately, what should have been a pleasant dining experience turned into a deeply disappointing one due to the unprofessional and rude behavior of the staff.Upon our arrival, we were seated outside, and I began checking the menu to see if there were any kid's portions available. When the waitress came over, I politely inquired if they offered any children's portions, to which she curtly replied "no" without any attempt to be helpful or considerate. When I asked about the size of the regular portions, hoping they might be sufficient for the kids, she responded dismissively, giving the impression that we were a bother to her.As my friend joined us at the table, the waitress continued to behave with a clear attitude, maintaining a negative demeanor throughout our interaction. We decided to order a single pasta dish to share between the children, and this seemed to upset her further. She repeatedly questioned us, asking at least five times if we were really only ordering one pasta, as if she couldn’t believe it. Her disbelief was so apparent that she started gossiping with a colleague right in front of us, visibly stressed by our decision.Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, I requested to speak with the manager. The waitress claimed she was the manager, but her attitude remained the same, which made me doubt her claim. I expressed my concerns about the poor service, pointing out that we were being treated badly and that she had not even checked on us after taking our order. She continued to be dismissive and unprofessional, and eventually admitted that she was not the manager after all, confirming my suspicions.To make matters worse, it became clear that our treatment may have been influenced by the fact that we were speaking Portuguese. The restaurant staff, including a waitress from a neighboring Italian restaurant, began gossiping about us in Italian. My friend, who speaks Italian, overheard one of them calling us derogatory names. As a Brazilian who understands some Italian, I could also sense the hostility directed towards us.Overall, our experience at Mama Mia was marred by unprofessionalism, rudeness, and what felt like discriminatory behavior. As someone who works in the area and has always enjoyed being part of this community, I am deeply disappointed by this incident. I sincerely hope that this review reaches the actual manager or owner, as this type of service is unacceptable and needs to be addressed.

We had an afternoon shindig at Mamma Mia's after my dad's funeral as it was the place Mike and Betty loved most in EastSheen. Rosa's Puglia inspired food was wonderful, and Leo kept our glasses of Chilled Prosecco topped up, bless him. Can't recommend it enough.

We loved our experiences. Even though we were early and the restaurant was closed, the owners greeted is with warm smile and opened early for us. The food was lovely, I'd say it's well priced. I find it difficult to belive the negative reviews about "rudness". Regarding slow paced service, the atmosphere is very relaxrd and they were in no hurry to "kick us out: so I actually prefer the atmosphere of this resturant . Definitely new date night spot for us

Lovely, traditional family restaurant. Friendly owners, lovely food and proper, welcoming service where you have time to chat between courses and certainly won't be rushed out of the door. The restaurant has so much character, is always beautifully decorated with flowers and the garden is a real treat in summer. This is a proper, family-run business which has been in Sheen for nearly half a century and well worth a visit for those who enjoy a relaxed and delicious meal.

Went there for mothersday. Disappointing. Small restaurant and only a couple of us so thought we wouldn't be a problem despite 2 large groups next to us. Took a while before given a menu, ordered, 1 lobster special and some pasta, disappointed with the carbonara, looked hastyly done, small protion and looked unappealing, my missus makes better and she's carribean. Once finished we were left with the plates for a good ten minutes at least. Priority was clearly given to the larger tables, we were ignored. Then waited another 10 for dessert menu, ordered 1 dessert, finally came but messed up our order , waiter went to enquire, never returned, had to get someone else attention to help, went away, came back asked for bill, never came back, this is about another 20 mins then had to go up to ask for the bill which for 2 people came to £90! Poor customer service. Left feeling foolish, dissatisfied and ripped off. Don't believe the hype.

we came for valentine’s day and just wanted to share a 3-course meal between the two of us as we had just wanted to experience the restaurant and had previously eaten beforehand. First, we felt obliged to order from the wine menu even though we don’t drink alcohol and were met with heavy resistance to wanting to order just a single 3-course meal. After receiving the food and seeing others receive theirs, we were severely disappointed at the portions of our own food compared to the others customers. It seemed that they had halved our portions. The staff member was also trying to trick us when ordering by saying we should order two of the valentines courses and was rude when we insisted we only needed one. Would not go again as food was mediocre for the price and staff were quite rude.

We dropped in here for a late lunch, I think it was 14:30 or thereabouts, there was a large party in the back and the front of the place was empty apart from us and a solitary diner. This place is relaxed but up market, initial servis felt a but too relaxed but we were in no hurry so we slowed down too. Food was excellent, fresh, tasty and well prepared. We spent far too long over lunch and enjoyed doing it.

This restaurant is absolutely a hidden gem. Leonardo and Rosa are very hospitable; Leonardo greated us and took my coat. He is up for a laugh and very respectable. Their family have 5 businesses on Upper Richmond Road. Rosa’s authentic Italian food is spectacular for the price, as is the intimate setting; it is a small restaurant, perfect for a couple or a group of friends out celebrating. It’s a very fine and cosy atmsophere, rather fancy, and somewhere I’d go on occassion. It is my favourite restaurant I’ve ever been to, because of how warm Leonardo and Rosa make it; their friendliness makes it feel like you are dining in their lovely home, and there is a wall of fame where you can see photos of VIPs have visited.

Food was ok. New to London, didn’t know the tipping process for restaurants. When I received the bill, I noticed a 12% service charge. I asked the server (the one who lived in Venice) if that was the tip and he said no, but if I wanted to leave a tip it had to be cash. Being used in Canada to leaving tips, we left an additional £5. The cash request disturbed me, and when I returned to the hotel, I googled tipping in London restaurants. If the service charge is added to the bill, you do not tip. He was very dishonest and was double tipped. I would never go back to this restaurant again due to this dishonesty.

Moved into Roehampton area a year ago and this rapidly became my favorite restaurant and much better than many well known restaurants in central London. This is an outstanding restaurant run by the family for the last 38 years with two brothers serving and the sister Rosa cooking the most wonderful meals. Crisp white table clothes and serviettes surrounded by pleasant decor and outside gardens during better weather with adjoining wine bar. This is a real gem that I have been to some 15 times in the last year with easy parking outside, excellent food and wine and all at most reasonable prices. This is a MUST for those who enjoy good food in a relaxed atmosphere! This is the first time I have ever submitted a restaurant review. 2nd Jan 2023 - still my favourite restaurant and now go about twice a month and get them to provide food for our parties at home. Scrumptious!

I’ve been coming into the cafe on and off for a couple of years now and it always feels like a warm hug when you pass through the doors. Food is amazing, they are totally accommodating to children, dogs and loud noises (my eldest can be overly chatty like most kiddies with Down Syndrome can be). I can’t thank them enough for making me feel at home before, during and after moving into the area. Totally worth a drink, a snack, or stop for full meal! You will not be disappointed.

Really Horrible Experience. From the offset the staff were very rude and obnoxious after we were confused about whether the neighbouring restaurants were affiliated ( with different names and telephone numbers and different styling we were confused about whether they were the same restaurant) which they were. The menu is extremely overpriced with a single breaded chicken breast with cheese costing over £14, I was expecting veg or some sort of side to accompany it but no, a tired. flat, mcdonalds esque chicken breast arrived on a massive empty plate. My friend had a lasagna which we were assured had meat in it ( we were very hungry from a day in richmond park and were seeking a filling meal), the tiny portion of lasagna was entirely veg based with mushrooms. Which is fine if thats what you're after but we weren't. At the end of the meal, we were overcharged because we asked for the smaller portion sizes which cost less but received a bill for the larger sizes which the slimey waiter refused the change. Upon paying with my card, the slimey waiter insisted that i had cancelled the transaction instead of confirming my pin, I needed to obtain my online banking app to show him he was lying before he let us leave the restaurant, avoid at all costs. Disgusting service, bland average food. Horrible staff and extremely overpriced.

Wow! Just wow! Went yesterday with the fam at about 9 PM after a lovely walk in richmond park. Right from entering the place we were greeted by the owner, got asked to sanitize our hands, and tested our temperatures. The whole place was sparkling clean. The waiter/owner was patient while we changed our seats to outdoor seating instead. They accomodated our choices and let us order special orders that arent on the menu. The complimentary fresh bread with olive oil was delicious and freshly baked, the vibes were amazing, the spaghetti, penne, veal, tiramisu, and coffees were absolutely delicious. Will for sure come back here! Thank you Mama Mia for this amazing experience :).

I have eaten here many times over the years, and thankfully more frequently now that we have moved closer to this area. We ate at Mamma Mia most recently last Saturday (with my wife) and it was so nice I returned on Tuesday (with a friend).The food is classic Italian, made with good ingredients and cooked well. It is everything you could want in an Italian restaurant. The special mushrooms (literally, just wild mushrooms cooked in butter and garlic, nothing else) are my favourite and the crab ravioli (again a regular special) is perfect.I notice a very bitter 1* review immediately prior to mine and I can only say beware of reviews like this. It is a classic angry customer review and doesn't reflect any of the experiences I have had when eating at this restaurant. The reviewer has joined Tripadvisor in 2019 only to write this review, written one review and cynically chosen a handle "The Gourmet" in a hopeless attempt to convey some level of culinary expertise which I would suggest is far from the truth. My advise is to ignore this review, it is everything that is bad about Tripadvisor from someone who contributes nothing to the community apart from a self serving review to release some frustration. The pace of service is slower than Pizza Express, this is true. But that is part of the charm and you have a chance to relax and enjoy your food, wine and the whole evening. It isn't a place to get a quick bite and be gone in 30 minutes. The pasta we have has has always been on the generous side.

Went to this restaurant last night and possibly the worst experience ever. The owner was not friendly from the outset. We waited 40 minutes for the menus and from the time we entered to meals being served it took 90 minutes. I had the breaded veal but with one potatoe cut into cubes and sauted plus six green beans my bill was £28.00 My wife had lasagne which was just a small plate of pasta and no meat £11.00 dreadful. My son whose birthday it was got a spag bol he couldn't eat it as so bad. The bill was £78.00 and trying to pay by card the owner kept voiding the transaction until I told him I'll key in the pin.. at one stage he tried going away from our table with our card and had to tell him not to. Our coats were hanging up at the back and when my son went to retrieve them he had put a knife from a drawer underneath with the blade showing !! So that our coats would be torn. Please people of Sheen Richmond don't use this Restaurant it was awful in every way imaginable.

I so rarely get to take my elderly father out for dinner and he wanted to explore Sheen. The man (owner?) in Mamma Mia seemed grumpy and annoyed at our presence. This was upsetting as I'd wanted the occasion to be happy. It was ok in the end but only because we made it so. Confusingly there were two menus. The menu we were given was not the one we'd seen in the window. The man tried to explain this and said if we wanted the window menu we'd have to order quickly. The waitress was lovely and the food was ok but not five-star. Such a shame - perhaps he was having a bad day. Thank goodness my dad was oblivious.

One of our favourite places to dine. In the summer it's nice to sit in the 'garden" which is a pretty bower, lit by fairy lights, under a grape vine. It can be quite magical. Leo and his staff are friendly and welcoming. Usually easy to park. Highly recommend.

Great food and lovely setting, it makes you feel like you are in Italy 🇮🇹! The only thing I would say is that the servers is slow! However, I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra visita anoche. El servicio fue perfecto, el ambiente era relajado, tradicional y agradable. La comida estaba muy bien presentada y la lista de vinos es perfecta. ¡Un cambio refrescante de tantos restaurantes que no pueden esperar para mantenerte en sus instalaciones!

Siempre terminamos unas vacaciones aquí, algo agradable que hacer mientras esperamos nuestro tren en Kings Cross Station.

Food is very good as is the wine list. The Tiramsiu is to die for. The service is very slow so do not go in a rush

Worst pasta I've ever had. No taste, no authenticity. Definitely do not recommend anyone to go. It's a waste of money. Disgrace to traditional Italian tradition.

No estoy seguro de qué restaurante han visitado algunos de los críticos aquí, pero Mamma Mia y Leonardo contiguo nunca deja de ofrecer. Una empresa familiar verdaderamente local que ha estado funcionando durante 40 años. El servicio seguro no es súper rápido, pero esto no es Pizza Express. Si desea un restaurante italiano familiar tradicional con auténtica comida casera, este es el lugar ideal. Vinimos como un gran grupo para el menú de 1977 que celebra su reciente 40 aniversario. La comida (¡a precios de 1977!) Fue excelente, como siempre, y estuvimos encantados de ayudar a celebrar este aniversario especial. El viernes por la noche zumbaban muchas familias, grupos de amigos y clientes habituales. Gracias por su generoso servicio y por una gran comida y diversión nocturna.

One of my favourite places in the Richmond/East Sheen area. The food is simple and tasty and the owners are lovely. Mamma Mia is for those weekend afternoons or weekday evenings where you don't have to rush off somewhere immediately after. A throwback to a time when meals weren't a huge rush and where we had less instant and more pleasant in our lives.

¡Si quieres que tu billetera sea vaciada por estos estafadores mercaderes, entonces lo recomiendo encarecidamente! Deficiente servicio, no apto para sillas de ruedas, solo le interesa cuando elige el menú de vinos, cuando alguien dice que no tienen gluten ignoran, no hay precios en su sitio web, cuestionan la factura solo para ser reemplazada por una más cara, esperaban más una hora para empezar, extras lanzados en su plato que no ha pedido pero cobrado, ¡evite!

Así, sincero. Soy un habitual en este restaurante. Se capturaron mi corazón cuando tuve mi primera comida y me alegré de que no era común una pasta pizza pero una familia auténtica restaurante familiar italiano. El servicio es relajado, así que no vayas en restaurantes de comida rápida como este no es el punto. La comida es fabulosa y a un precio razonable. Elija el, gambas, setas o el cangrejo raviolis (delicioso) como entrante. Luego de más de un principal, aunque me encanta el hígado de pollo o el bebé.

We had a disappointing meal here as my wife and I found that it was difficult to eat the food because the pasta was too hard. The fish sauce was in fact quite tasty. We mentioned this to the waiter who came back with the manager who seemed quite unapologetic and explained that it was 'al dente' and it was how it was served in Italy. We have been to Italy many times (in fact twice this year) and this was 'al dente' on a new level. After some discussion he took my plate back for extended cooking with the phrase that 'it would not taste the same'. I imagine it was put in a microwave for a few minutes as it was a tad softer and I found I could eat about half of it. All in all a lot of money for a poor experience.

Great service and lovely food. Stoped by after detailing and valeting some cars in the Richmond area. Will be back again for sure. Thanks
