Meet the Torres-Vargas Family
The Torres-Vargas family owns and operates Mama Roma Pizzeria and Restaurant. This husband and wife team is hospitality veterans. They have worked in the restaurant business for more than 30 years bringing the spirit of heirloom Italian home cooking to customers throughout the region. Claudia Torres-Vargas learned the art of cooking from her grandmother at the age of 10 and has been delighting taste buds ever since with traditional Italian recipes handed down for many generations. For Renee and Claudia Torres-Vargas, cooking is their passion and greatest source of joy. The team puts heart and soul into their delicious Italian foods to bring the best of each season to your plate. The Torres-Vargas's love of good food – and sharing it with others – is one of the things that brought this foodie couple together many decades ago. It remains a wonderful shared source of pleasure today.
Fast and Friendly Service – NOT Fast Food
Mama Roma Pizzeria and Restaurant recognizes that our customers appreciate timely service. We aim to have your meal ready for you as fast as possible and served with the friendly service you deserve; however, please keep in mind that we are not serving fast food. At the turn of the century (and earlier) when many of our recipes were perfected, our relationship with food was based on quality (not quantity), flavor, and a beautiful presentation. For many today, this relationship has transformed to one of mere convenience – and lost all joy. At Mama Roma Pizzeria and Restaurant, this is not a sacrifice we are willing to make. We hold the line at quality. If it takes a few more minutes for us to increase your dining pleasure, we believe this is time well spent. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to prepare your meal with time-honored techniques we think you will appreciate. Buon appetito!
