Located in the quiet suburb of Kohimarama, about ten minutes drive from central Auckland, this small, intimate Italian place offers superb cooking and a relaxed and homely atmosphere. Try the Calamari Fritti tossed in garlic, lemon and parsley sauce. Do try Involtini alla Romana--veal stuffed with cream cheese, ham and spices and topped with wine and mushroom sauce. There are just a few desserts--as an alternative, end your meal with one of Mamma Rosa's special coffees.
