"Having heard really amazing reviews we finally tried mama Rosas last night. The smell of the food when you walk in is amazing but the atmosphere was flat with no music just the sound of the table behind us engrossed in conversation. It didn't start well when my husband ordered a tetleys which came to the table in the form of a warm tinny with a room temperature pint glass that he had to pour his own drink in to at a price of around £4.The starters :cheese garlic bread and burnchetta were really nice, the salt and pepper squid was sadly over done. The mains we all agreed were bland and lacked any seasoning other than garlic, I couldn't eat my tagliatelle bolognaise, the pasta was under cooked and chewy and the bolognaise itself was full of big chunks of mince was was missing the bacon lardons . The chicken in mushroom sauce was again over cooked , the sauce was thin and appeared as though the mushrooms were an after thought and thrown on at the end and the buttered veg had no butter. The penne pomodoro, the pasta was slimy and stodgy and the sauce was lacking and really flavour other than beef. My 10 year old pizza wasn't bad other than the chicken seem out of a packet rather than fresh and it didn't come ready sliced it came with steak knife which was difficult to cut without it nearly sliding of the plate. The staff were friendly when they take your order but there was a lack of buzz and enthusiasm about the place, no one came over to see if everything was OK with our meal, and it took a while to get someone's attention to order another drink for my daughter. After hearing so many amazing reviews we were slightly disappointed that the food lacked so much of the authentic Italian flare that we were expecting for the £101 price tag added an extra element of disappointment as you would expect better quality . Such a shame, I hope this was just a off day for them. Sadly we wouldn't go back."
