In 1986 husband-and-wife team, Romano and Cristina Gorrini, bought Mamma Roma in Stellenbosch. In 1997 they sold the popular Stellenbosch restaurant and took a well-earned break for half a year. In 1998 they were approached by Professor Christiaan Barnard, the highly esteemed South African cardiac surgeon, to buy the “La Vita” Restaurant in Newlands. A year later they renamed the restaurant to Mamma Roma.
Under the passionate and knowledgeable management of the Gorrinis, Mamma Roma has remained a popular and well-known restaurant in Cape Town with a reputation for superb Italian dining.
