I don’t think I can say enough good things about Mama Rosina’s. The antipasto is one of my favorites as well as the chicken Caesar salad. It is very filling and delicious. The atmosphere is awesome. The old train station was converted into the restaurant so the aesthetic is perfect. The staff is always attentive. Tony is the best.

Haven’t eaten at a restaurant in this location in years. Girlfriend and I decided to check it out for a random Wednesday day night. I honestly have to admit that every single dish we touched was phenomenal. From the butterfly shrimp to the fra diavolo and more, every dish was fresh and tasty. Our bartender Tony mixed delicous drinks and poured cold beers, informing us of incredible specials available. I’m not one for desert but I couldn’t resist. Girlfriend and I give Mama Rosina’s a solid 10/10 Support your local businesses! Finding an awesome spot with great food is hard these days, but I can easily say that Mama Rosina’s checked every single box of what I look for in a local bar/restaurant.

Ordered an eggplant rollatini app and my companion had liguini with clams. Both dishes were delicious. The eggplant app was more than enough for lunch with warm bread and a glass of chianti. The linguini included a salad and there was enough to take home leftover. Both were classic dishes, executed beautifully, hitting all the right notes. the marinara was perfect! Service was friendly and attentive, great ambience in what was formerly a train station. Recommend!

Went out for a birthday dinner with friends. My first time eating here and I have zero complaints. The food was good and service was great. The chocolate cake was perfect. Barely had enough time to take a picture before it disappeared! Antonio really took it to the top. Awesome place, not too big, awesome people.

Found this gem after a Rutgers Basketball Game! The food was delicious from the appetizers to the desserts. The prices were accurate in today's high economy as were the drink prices. The service was great; friendly staff. The place was clean and tables were spaced apart from each other. I did a call ahead and our table was waiting for us when we arrived. Would highly recommend and will go back!

My wife said the red sauce was so delicious she could drink it. My bolognese was fantastic and so was my wife’s chicken Marsala. Not inexpensive though. Nice tray and worth the money.

Stop #11 on our Pizza Tour 2022...Mama Rosina's in Bound Brook, NJ. Being located in the old train station made for some cool architecture as well as some dine-in train watching. They have an outdoor trackside seating area as well. Instead of our usual slices (I'm not even sure they do slices) we opted for a full pie with pepperoni. Also got a side of meatballs (excellent meatballs). Very tasty crust...crisp outside, chewy inside, obviously made from very fresh dough. Good tomato basil sauce and top quality cheese (I believe the mozzarella is fresh grated). Sauce was perfectly spiced, not too sweet or bitter. Pepperoni was good and spicy, as expected. Overall, an excellent pizza. One of the top we've had. Afterward, some awesome train watching...
