I have been going to mama Rosas for the last 22 years. It's always fabulous. Thanks James and Raylene for excellence in customer service and the best Italian food in Kelowna
Great service and great food! I was a 1st time customer and will definitely be going back!
Amazing food & service. We Loved Mamma Rosa's & would recommend it to everyone.
Excellent servers. Very flavourful and large portions. Highly recommend eating here
&$(/; amazing food...so happy we found this place!!!
The best authentic pizza in Kelowna.......!!! Best trattoria atmosphere, great staff and friendly hosts!! don't go anywhere else!
Amazing food !!!! Everything we had was delicious and very good service as well.
We've been coming to Mamma Rosa for more than 25 years. It is THE go to place in Kelowna for authentic Italian food. Try it, you'll love it, you won't regret it!
It was our first visit and the moment we walked in the scent of Amazing food was in the air....every dish we had was outstanding. ..Cannaloni. ...Linguini....Gluten free penne. ...Antipasto. ..the bread ...the service was superb
It was my birthday and they surprised me with a Italian ice cream and candle!
Can't wait to go back!
We had a wonderful time at Mama Rosa-please come open up another restaurant in Edmonton!! Soooooo tasty đź‘Ś
Delicious! We went for my girlfriends father's birthday. They were visiting from medicine hat and absolutely loved the food too!!
Just ordered takeout dinner from here and it was amazing, I am mad that I don't have a bigger stomach to eat more of it! Now on my list of places to eat every trip to Kelowna!
We absolutely love going here ... a Kelowna tradition!
I'm so in love with this restaurant! Anytime birthday or special occasion we make sure to head to Mama Rosas!
Stepped into an incredibly nice and cozy Italian restaurant that did not disappoint. We got the spaghetti alla carbonara and lasagna rossa which were both absolutely on the spot. The pastas had the right texture, the sauces had the delicious goodness which really charged those taste buds. I'd day the prices felt more expensive than expected and perhaps the service could've been better. Overall though, we enjoyed out time here and would like to come back again.
This is a great place lovely interior great ambiance and honestly the BEST veal I've had in western Canada we had a party of five and had great service amazing meals everyone enjoyed it was our first time here but won't be our last!
Italian kelowna. The food is undeniably good. but however the decor could use a renovation...
Prices are fairly high... but thats italian.
For the ambience its not a great value..
The service is sub-par... however I think they are understaffed or overworked.
Benefit of the doubt- its worth it if you like high priced italian.
Manager and owner seem authentic.
Great Italian Food. Visiting from Winnipeg, we wanted some good italian food and this place didn't disappoint. Fettuccine Alfredo w/chicken was fabulous. My wife had the cheese and spinach cannelloni which was good. Garlic toast was good and plentiful and the bruschetta was also pretty good. Kids had penne with meatballs and sauce that was good also. If we lived here this would be a staple.
Exceptional Food!. I visited this restaurant a few days ago, and ordered the Spinach & Ricotta Lasagna. This is the second time in the past 2 years that I've ordered this dish - the first time I tried it it was excellent and despite the numerous other enticing choices on the menu, I ordered it again, and wasn't disappointed....it was truly amazing the 2nd time around and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The meat sauce was incredible, and I couldn't stop eating!
The ambience and service were exceptional as well...and as a finale, I ordered the Tiramisu, which was a great end to the evening.
Thank you to the chefs and staff @ this wonderful restaurant for the phenomenal food.
Excellent food. I have been coming here for the last 25+ years
Best Italian in the Valley. Mamma Rosa Restaurant is the only place I will go for Italian food. The portion sizes are very generous and are always delicious. I love the atmosphere of a small and local family run restaurant!
Mamma Rosa's has some of the best pizza I have ever had! And if your not in the mood for pizza I highly recommend the Sea Food Shells or the Handmade Lobster Cannelloni! And for all those gluten free lovers my friends tell me the gluten free cake is delicious!
Great Experience. Recently went to Mamma Rosa's and had a great experience. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was great. This place was great for a romantic dinner. I will definitely be back!
Great Italian ambience and food with big portions. I would however consider somewhere else if you are looking for a fine dining experience.
Love the food here!! Ravioli de Pollo is absolutely amazing!! As with everything else I've tried at mama Rosas!
Fantastic food. There is no better Italian food in Kelowna.
Outstanding Experience. My boyfriend and I went for dinner and will definitely be returning. The lasagna marinara I ordered was phenominal. The portions were huge and delicious. I can't wait to go back.
Best Italian Food in Town. If your looking for authentic italian cuisine, Mamma Rosa's is the place to visit. And, if your lucky you might get to meet Mamma Rosa herself.
All of the pasta, sauces, and bread are homemade daily, and you can definately tell. I can't eat pasta anywhere else now, it's to die for.
The menu is huge, and has so many options (even vegetarian and gluten free). Everything is made to order so you can get whatever your heart desieres.
The staff is knowledgable and friendly and the service is amazing.
If you've never been, I highly reccommend going with your family, kids, or your significant other!

North American Italian. This is not authentic Italian but it is a hell of a lot better than the Spaghetti Factory and I'd even go so far to say that it rivals La Bussola because you are getting the same thing for a more convenient price but in a less romantic or classy atmosphere.
I have to admit my weakness is the Tortellini in Parmesan sauce.
Great for takeout.
I recently went to Mamma Rosa's for dinner with my family. It was absolutely delightful! Service was prompt and efficient, and the food was out of this world! Entrees are plenty, be sure to leave room for their divine dessert tray! It had great Italian authenticity, and a cozy atmosphere. Perfect for romantic evenings or family dinners. Loved it, and hope to return soon!
Excellent service! Home made deliciousness!. A few friends and I came in for dinner a few nights ago and we will be sure to return as soon as possible!
Such great home made food, we shared all of the dishes among the three of us and were we ever nice & full, I highly recommend Mamma Rosa's before ever going to the old spaghetti factory.... Who would want old spaghetti anyway?.. Home made is the way to go!
Best italian in kelowna!. I have been to Mamma Rosas every time im in kelowna and it never ceases to amaze. lots of dishes, home made, authentic, and Rosa is still in the kitchen creating fantastic dishes with her son and owner ,James. best italian in kelowna hands down! a must when you visit

Good food, but not cheap.. Had a Bruschetta platter that had 12 pieces total of 3 different types. The normal one was quite tasty, but the goat cheese style had a wonderful pungency that added quite a lot. The third type had salmon with artichokes on top. The salmon was fresh (no "fishy" smell or off taste) and the artichokes added nicely.
For a main, I tried the Gnocchi Capriccio with homemade Italian sausage. The Gnocchi was cooked wonderfully (not mushy, or tough), the spicy (mildly spicy) tomato sauce was super flavorfull, the sausage was slightly overcooked, but still super tasty. All told, it was very nice.
This wasn't our first time to Momma Rosa's, we were here years ago and came back because we remembered that the Tirramasu was imported from Italy, and very tasty. It still is, and it's still very good (not as good as homemade, but very tasty)
Add on a half litre of wine and it cost just under $100, which isn't super pricy, but if you're not looking for a "nice dinner out", it could cost you more than you're expecting.
We had excellent service... No need to wait for anything, which is impressive because it was a Saturday night. The food was great.. We both had lasagna and found the portion sizes quite large. Good value for what we received. Will definitely return.
That's Italian. Had the best lasagna and homemade cannelloni ever, you can tell this was homemade pasta, the sauce was excellent, as was the service. we had the mussels for an appy and their homemade focaccia G (sundried tomatoes and cream cheese) to die for. really one of the only restaurants where almost everything is made on premises by Mamma Rosa herself. oh yeah really good value
Yummy Pasta. I have been wanting to try this restaurant for years and two weeks ago had the opportunity to do so. It was a cold, cold evening and so walking into the warm, cozy restaurant was comforting in itself. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. I had the pasta with olive oil, sausage and garlic. My husband had a seafood pasta. Both of our dishes were piping hot, the pasta perfectly cooked and the meal was accompanied by a big plate of crusty garlic bread (not just one slice each). We loved our meal and wished we had room for the dessert tray they produced. Maybe next time!
Molto bene!. This is a nice family run restaurant. It's cozy and family friendly. The menu is huge and full of Italian classics, so choosing will be quite a decision to make. I tried the muscoli for a starter and it was very good, and the lasagnas are excellent as well. My other three friends who were there had different pasta dishes and they all liked it. Good value.
This is by far the beat pizza place in town nothing else even compares.
Great food. The pasta here is amazing and most of it is made on premises. The focacia pizza is awesome!!
Very positive dining experience. Delicious Italian food in a traditional themed restaurant. The food was delicious and the portions are huge! Location is very busy but worth the wait. On our visit, the servers were a bit overrun. We will definitely come back as the food is excellent.
Went for the first time tonight and was impressed! Was craving real, filling Italian pasta and was not disappointed. All 3 of us were satisfied with our meals and the service was friendly and attentive. Portions are huge. You won’t leave hungry. Provided a birthday dessert for my birthday, and offered a great selection of homemade desserts. Will be going back!
It was tough getting in around dinner time on short notice because this restaurant is so popular... for good reasons. Definitely the best Italian food in the Okanagan! I recommend the delicious steam mussels. You can resist sopping up all the amazing broth with extra fresh bread.

Feels very authentic from the first step. Rustic and homey.
Food is some of the best Italian, especially for the price.
Very good service, our glasses were never even close to being empty.
They also surprised us with a dessert in celebration of a birthday!
Simply a great dining experience.

We were visiting Kelowna for the weekend and after a wonderful day at Myra Canyon Trail, we decided to visit downtown.
We were looking for a place to eat and after passing the regular suspects like OSF, BSH, CC, etc (guess the names), we passed alongside Mamma Rosa. We were not sure if that was the place but after driving around, we ended coming back and eating here.
No regrets! It was fantastic! Food is delicious. The atmosphere is very fitting and service was pretty good. It is a bit pricey but after actually eating, we unanimously agreed that it was worth it!
We ordered:
- Capresse Salad (D E L I C I O U S ! ! ! )
- Foccacia H (Amazing mix of flavours)
- Lobster Cannelloni (Fabulous!)
- Key lime pie and Tiramisu to share (To die for!)
Just one little flaw: Bill came with a 7.5% tax with no explanation or heads up. I do not like hidden charges and therefore, I adjusted the tip accordingly. Unfortunate because service was great.
All in all though, it was not enough to alter my review. I still highly recommend it. 🙂
Ate here twice during our visit in Kelowna. Home made pasta was great. We would have tried more dishes if we had more days to spend in the area.
Spaghetti pescatrice had lots of prawn shrimp and scallops but the sauce was too runny, would have been better if it was creamier.
Fettuccini al pesto is delicious.
Great service.
I know when we go here that I will be happy with whatever I choose. There's a lot of decisions on the menu, so it is a hard choice! Service is always good. High quality food!
Very satisfied with this restaurant! Food was super delicious. Service was excellent and we got our food in a timely manner. Prices for the quantity you receive is excellent. So Good!!!
Came here last week for my grandma’s birthday and the food was amazing I had the fettuccine al pesto it was very good even just dreamed about it the other night very very tasty
Mamma Rosa's is hands down the best Italian in Kelowna. They are a super cute and cozy restaurant with very kind staff. I visit at least once a month, and am never disappointed! The portions are large, sauce-heavy, which I personally love, and have that authentic homemade Italian noodle that is hard to find in other restaurants in the area. My personal favourite go-to dish there is the Fettuccini Alfredo. I crave it daily!
