Mamma Rosa in Hillingdon

Super Cute Spot! Kids Menu was great too - we left very happy indeed! Always support independents! ❤️

Beautiful traditional family run restaurant. The owners were so inviting and the food was the best I’ve had in a very long time. The owner gave excellent wine options and advised of the best dishes that might suit us. We had an amazing time and they also gave us a complimentary shot of Limoncello which topped off our night. I would highly recommend and will be back to try the rest of the menu.

Mamma Rosa is located at the north end of Ruislip High Street and is just under half a mile from Ruislip station on foot. We visited at around 8 o’clock on a Sunday evening and were the only diners in the restaurant. I had Parma ham and figs to start, crab linguine with squid ink for main and affogato for dessert. To drink I had spiced rum and coke (there appeared to be no gin available), a bottle of Italian rose and coffee with grappa. The food and drinks were all pleasant and I really enjoyed the cosy atmosphere in the restaurant. Service was very good and the cost a little expensive at £109 including tip.

I don’t often write reviews however I felt compelled to write this one as Mamma Rosa deserves praise for their exceptional service. Food is superb offering a range of delicious dishes, generous portions using quality ingredients with beautiful presentation, all cooked fresh from the kitchen. Staff are welcoming and the atmosphere is simply warm and inviting. I’ve been here a couple of times with friends and keen to return at every opportunity I can. I highly recommend this restaurant- a real little Italian gem on the high street 😊

Delicious food served by very nice and knowledgeable staff. The vegetarian menu is small but what is on there is very good, I would highly recommend trying this restaurant if you haven't already been.

Delicious food. Best of Italian food I have had in London.

Had a wonderful evening with amazing Italian food. Would highly recommend Mamma Rosa. The proprietor, Walter, and his front and back teams work tirelessly to make sure you are looked after at all times.

Wonderful Italian restaurant, small and cosy with great food and portion sizes.

The burrata is very good as well as the rigatoni pasta with mushroom It was delicious

My family and I have been eating at this restaurant for 3 years now and the food is always amazing. Traditional Italian food with wonderful service - would highly recommend!

Amazing food, received two limoncello shots on the house the owner was extremely friendly as well, do recommend.

We just had a meal with my son and two grandchildren there and we were very impressed. The ingredients were delicious and the food was prepared nicely. The service and hospitality were excellent. Overall a great experience

We chose a very wrong place to eat a few days ago, the service was slow and there were only 5 costumes in a the entire restaurant. I order a steak for my child and pasta with seafood for me and my partner a chicken breast with some sauce on top and vegetables. As a starter we order calamari, fried zucchini and a portion of mussels. The mussels smelled horrible my partner noticed that instantly they weren’t fresh I ate few my partner push his self to eat some because was hungry, my boy steak wasn’t fresh either it had a weird taste he only had few bites of the steak because was very hungry and after he stopped eating, when my pasta came had the same horrible smell but also taste bad I couldn’t eat, the seafood same wasn’t fresh my partner chicken was acceptable. The waiter saw that almost all food wasn’t touched, but he didn’t even ask if everything was ok . When we asked for the bill my partner told him the food wasn’t good he only said I will let know the kitchen. They don’t know how to handle the situation or they don’t care about, never going again it was a bad experience . When seafood and meat are not fresh you can make people sick ! Food is low quality nothing to do with Italian cuisine.

Lovely cuisine and friendly staff.

Absolutely amazing food and the management fantastic.. I will definitely bring the hole family and friends.

Lovely ambience. You feel like you’re in an authentic Italian restaurant. Delicious food and friendly staff.

Always wonderful top notch food with attention to detail. One of our favourites and the wine list is lovely too. I dream of their tiramisu.

Just amazing! Everything was wonderful!

I bought the sausage and tomato pasta for takeaway and it was sooooo delicious. It came in about 10 minutes when the restaurant wasnt busy. I asked for extra meat and cheese and they did nottttt disappoint at all, lots of cheese and sausage. It was superbly scrumptious. Tomato sauce was plentiful and tasty too. Thank you mama rose. *P.S i licked the plate clean.

Have now visited a few times and cannot fault any aspect of a wonderful eating experience. All-round excellence.

From the moment you arrive in this pretty, romantic little place you receive the nicest welcome , friendly staff and excellent traditional Italian food. Wine was super too 🍷

We frequent this place at least once every 2 weeks and the food is always on point - delicious every time. The staff are super friendly and the ambience is lovely with perfect lighting. What more could you ask for?

We tried Mamma Rosa for the first time yesterday as the reviews were good and we were so looking forward to the experience. The staff were friendly and the food was tasty. However, we felt it was not value for money for the prices they charge and we were disappointed as the quantity of the main course was not enough. We ordered sea bass which came as half a seabass and pasta linguini which seemed like a kid's menu portion...we were still hungry after our meal and had to go elsewhere to fulfill our appetite. When we queried this with the owner his answer was to simply order extra next time!!! For that reason we will not be returning.

It was ok but for what you pay for a main meal the portions are small.

Love this place, such a lovely authentic Italian restaurant. The owner is so friendly and hospitable and takes time to talk to everyone. The food is delicious and portions are generous. I love the decor and atmosphere. Happy to support a lovely little independent restaurant like this!

I have been here couple of times, very nice italian place in Ruislip which offers a quite authentic italian cuisine. They do all the pasta in the house which is what has attracted me in first, i have really liked the main we got but I didn't like the focaccia which was very dry, it looked like it was warmed up from the day before. I am a pastry chef and I am italian, I make focaccia at home, so for me is super important that this is made fresh on the day, I understand it was a tuesday lunch but in that case either do a smaller batch or say that you don't have for the day. I didn't go back after that only cause I think the price are a bit too high and since I make fresh pasta at home too is pointless, but definately a place i would racomand

Lovely place.. the set menu is very good and great value for £...

Lovely home made Italian food would definitely recommend anyone who appreciates great home made food if you try you will definitely go back. If there’s any questions I can help out with in regard to the area in general don’t hesitate to ask and I’ll try my best to help you out.

Nice Italian in Ruislip. Reduced prices before 7 pm. Also other offers.

A last minute choice of venue but a fantastic choice. Good welcome, Great service, fantastic food, good atmosphere. Will certainly be back. Well done all x

An Italian gem in Ruislip A beautiful surprise to have this authentic Italian restaurant here in Ruislip. Pasta is hand made with passion which elevates all pasta dishes to the next level. Not to mention the friendly staff and owner with the best Italian hospitality. Grazie!

We had a wonderful meal Celebrating our Ruby Wedding Anniversary with our family,, the food and service were excellent , we sat in the garden room which had a lovely atmosphere, the menu had something for everyone young and old enjoyed our visit. Thank you

Excellent food, impeccable personal service. The host/owner was very welcoming and the restaurant, although packed on a Saturday night, had a lovely Italian-family atmosphere without being unduly noisy. Food is outstanding, the 'specials' (tuna scarpcio etc) exceptionally delicious. Great range of drinks - the 'Amalfi Kiss' was a great heatwave quencher. Good value, too, as the food portions are generous. In all, a fabulous dining choice and comes highly recommended.

Lovely food and service. My parents came here before and we went altogether without booking. Really attentive stuff and food was amaziing. My parents had fish that came with veggies and I had shrimp pasta, honestly was bussin. My parents also loved the wine x I really recommend

Wonderful restaurant, food was amazing. The staff are fab and very attentive. We will definitely be back

We tried this Italian restaurant in Ruislip for a late brunch and were impressed with their two course early bird menu which is very good value at £14 per person and delivers in terms of food quality. I went for the parmigiana to start which was well balanced and simply scrumptious. For my main I tried the rigatoni alla boscailo which was a mushroom pasta with a gorgonzola and cream sauce. Vegetarian pasta frequently disappoints especially when on a set menu but this certainly did not. You will find great service in Mamma Rosa and it is so nice to find a decent Italian restaurant a stone's throw from home.

We love this place - excellent food with a warm welcome and friendly service. Nothing fancy, but you know when a place is right.

This is by far one of my favourite restaurants the food is delicious it never disappoints. Staff are so friendly and helpful. I would recommend this as the best Italian for anybody.

A lovely restaurant and very accommodating service.

Overpriced and underwhelming. Very small portions. Six of the tiniest potatoes you have ever seen and a few beans and broccoli stems constituted the vegetables !

Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience here. Paid £15.50 for lasagne and the portion size was unbelievably small. It was a small square and looked more like a side portion than a main dish. It was also fairly tasteless as it mostly consisted of layers of pasta with no meat in between. We left feeling hungry, disappointed and ripped off. Would never return. Over priced, very poor value for money and not at all enjoyable.

The best spaghetti carbonara in London! Good calamari - love the zucchini in it to make it lighter! Decent negroni.

Lovely staff , owner and atmosphere

The real Italian experience. The quality of the dishes has nothing to envy to a good Italian restaurant in Italy. Is so difficult to find a place where to eat some good seafood in London, I will definitely go back.

Excellent service for our party of 15 yesterday. Great tastes, textures and presentation in the dishes, and everyone had a good time. Think would also suit smaller groups.

This Italian restaurant is a true gem of beauty and charm.✨ The moment you step inside, you'll be enchanted by its warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is simply phenomenal, delivering an exceptional dining experience with each bite. What sets this place apart is their weekly introduction of new, extra delicious dishes, an irresistible invitation to explore and indulge. The staff exude genuine friendliness and helpfulness, ensuring that every moment spent here is filled with joy and satisfaction. I find myself relishing in the delightful ambiance and savoring every dish, making each visit to this restaurant an absolute pleasure.

I don't have proper words how to describe the experience that I had in this place , it's just amazing, everything perfect , food amazing, the service amazing 10/10 ,the owner it's a amazing person , we will come back just because of him and for the food . If you didn't been here ,you should come. 💯💯

Beautiful place , beautiful people!

Ordered prawn based dish, prawns were miniscule and tough to chew. Ordered chicken for my child which was again very tough and bland. Tiramisu was just a lump of disappointment. No flavour whatsoever. Service wasn't good, the waiter looked miserable! I should have opted for the Italian next door.

Amazing food and amazing service. Really nice atmosphere and family friendly. We will be back!!

Portions small. Pasta sauce watery and almost microwave like. Meat platter served on small dinner plate with very little professional appeal. It's all a bit too homely and lacks anything eventful. Not cheap either. There are a couple more Italian restaurants on the High St that have got it right.

Lovely Italian family restaurant. My truffle fettuccine was divine. Warm atmosphere. You can tell some of your fellow diners have been returning time and again.

Excellent value. Friendly staff. Lovely food and atmosphere

I went with my partner and 2 children. Myself and my partner have sea food linguine and half the clams and mussels were empty. Portions were small and very overly priced I would not recommend & will not be going back .

Had a delightful lunch on Sunday to celebrate my brother's birthday. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. All the food was delicious.

Not many engaging smiles from servers, belline's not very peachy or sweet. Amaretto latte delish!

Lovely, tasty food! Shall portions true Italian style, you need 3 courses. Pasta was hand made Owner was lovely and chatty. I would highly recommend.

15 of us went to Mamma Rosa for a Christmas meal. Fantastic food and wine, friendly and knowledgeable staff. All meals served together, not one of us was left waiting. Really lovely restaurant, will definitely be returning x

Food for 1 to 10 its 8 but service was great.

Really good meals, very friendly staff and fair prices. Will definitely come again.

Absolutely fabulous place. Fettuccine Al Samone, perfect Tiramisu, great Delight Al Zabaglione, great Definitely go back soon

We have eaten here a few times, food always top quality and the staff are extremely helpful.

I took me and my daughter here for dinner one Friday evening. It was the best spaghetti Bolognese she’d ever had. It was the children’s menu and she loved it as did I I had the starters meat platter delicious red wine delicious service brilliant staff amazing we have been back twice since this first visit and love it every time they have never disappointed us in food or service definitely must recommend x

A lovely evening. Friendly service and some lovely food - bresaola starter delicious. A couple of our group had to wait for some of their courses - we were a big group.. Wine very good.

As an Italian I felt like home!! Excellent

Wonderful food, with some very polite staff. Well worth a visit.

We booked for my wife’s birthday. The restaurant was quiet as it was a Tuesday evening. The service was friendly attentive and considerate. The food was very good but my wife’s starter a burrata with roasted vegetables was truly exceptional. The wine list was reasonably comprehensive and had a good selection of Italian wines we went for a reserva for £25 which was worth the extra over a house wine in my option. The food was all freshly cooked and hot ( I don’t know what other reviewers were saying and there is no frozen food so the comments by the owner of the rogue review ring true to me.) We will certainly be returning. Peter’s C7463QY is a perfect summary!

Food is really nice. Simple and good food. Ask for recommendations. The steak and carbonara with chilli flakes is in particular very tasty.

I wasn't happy being charged a service charge for a glass of wine but when I complained it was taken off.

Food was Excellant and waiting staff attentive, however it got a bit loud in the restaurant later in to the night

Presentation of food left something to be desired, however, the quality made up for any short comings. Absolutely delicious. Waiting staff were polite and attentive.

Food was lovely the staff friendly. Will definitely return.

Lovely place, the restaurant has a very good atmosphere. The food is delicious. Service is excellent. 5* from me. I had a very good experience at the Mamma Rosa restaurant. I recommend Fettuccine alla Carbonara and for dessert the Pistachio - ricotta cream cake.

The place is very nice and cozy. The food was absolutely delicious. Our Choi was the fettuccine alla carbonara for main dish, and for the desert we tried out the ricotta & pistachio cream cake. The staff members are really nice and friendly. Highly recommend this place for everyone who wants to have a great time, amazing food at a lovely restaurant.🤗❤️

Lovely food but service is authentic Italian too ;) could be quicker. There's nice outdoor seating and the staff are friendly!

This is literally the best Italian in Ruislip. The seafood is so fresh, pasta hand made. If you like good, Italian food. This is the place to go

Great food and attentive staff. One of the best Italian places in the area. Would come back.

Delicious food. Pleasant and prompt service. Definitely would recommend for good quality, tasty food in a nice surroundings.

First time for me.. gorgeous food...Good house red and lovely service Thankyou

This place is great as always. Staff are friendly and the food is brilliant. I’m a regular here and usually come in the late evenings. The only thing I would say is a negative is that in the evenings there’s a lot of glass that’s dumped and it’s makes a really loud noise whether your in the back garden or in the restaurant.

Really lovely restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. The only suggestion I could make would be to add some tablecloth’s, perhaps the red and white ones that look so cute in Italian restaurants.

A fabulous experience. Wonderful food, great service and excellent value. You must go. We sat out front and loved it.

Friendly staff and good food. Solid 4.

Exquisite yet honest food, a hidden gem with a fantastic chef and a lovely owner!

One of the best Italians I have found in London. Absolutely delicious food, very helpful and friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere in the garden area. We can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu. Great food and great drinks.

Authentic Italian. Fresh, high quality produce, prepared to order. Simply delicious! Service is super friendly and professional - however you feel welcome as part of the family. Thank you Walter and your team for a fabulous meal and evening.

Great experience! Lovely ambience, delicious food, friendly staff. We will definitely return

We have heard mixed reviews but decided to take a chance. Well, what a wonderful little restaurant! Great ambience, friendly helpful staff, delicious food and drinks. Have a feeling this may become our local as its within walk distance of home.

Excellent food great staff well worth a visit you won't be disappointed

Best home made pasta ever great value and lovely staff Best Italian in the area

Lovely Italian restaurant and amazing food. U will need to come and try sea food sciatielli it’s delicious 😋

Rude staff and turned away our business. Was looking for a coffee and dessert but was refused service. It was after dinner service and the restaurant was fairly empty (around 3 diners in total). Such a shame and won't be visiting in the future.

The food was amazing, a really lovely warm welcome, very attentive staff. I would highly recommend coming here. Fantastic from beginning to end. Bellissimo ❤️

Quite a nice Italian place with friendly staff. I think it is family run, as we have only been there twice in two years, but the people were the same. They were all very friendly, and exceptionally happy to make our dining experience a really family friendly one and take care of any issues that arose. I think we'll probably come here again for another big occasion. 5 stars.

We had a lovely meal. ambience was lively6

Having been let down by some very poor customer service in relation to our booking across the road at Zaza tonight, we decided to take a chance on Mamma Rosa and I'm so glad we did! Warm customer service, a perfectly-sized menu with delicious food and some lovely wine all went down a treat. Thank you for saving our night and putting smiles on our faces, we'll definitely be back.

My friend and I came to Mamma Rosa for lunch yesterday, and had the best time! The food was incredible and it was such a friendly place. We'll definitely be back! :)
