In 2018, a devastating fire took away nearly 20 years of memories, but not our spirit. Among the ashes, one priceless treasure was recovered — a portrait of Vincenzo, surrounded by written messages of love from family, friends, customers, and our cherished staff. Thanks to the Bayonne Fire Department, that portrait now hangs proudly in our new downtown location, watching over us as we continue his legacy. If you ever take a look closely at his portrait, you can see the ashes that still remain. At Mama Rosa, we are more than a restaurant; we are a family. Our dedicated team, lovingly called “The Mama's Fam,” works side by side to bring joy to our community through flavorful food and genuine hospitality. Our specialty is catering, where Carmelina's impeccable presentation and service shine, while Theresa's culinary expertise expands beyond Italian cuisine to create diverse, mouthwatering dishes — even desserts.

We invite you to be a part of our story. Whether you're a longtime customer or visiting for the first time, our doors are always open, and there's a seat at our table waiting for you.

With love and gratitude,
Theresa & Carmelina
