Mamma Teresa Ristorante

Fine Italian cuisine at its best!

Our History

Nationally renown for its traditional northern Italian cuisine, fine wines and a warm friendly atmosphere since 1970.

From the hills of Parma in northern Italy to the dining tables of Mamma Teresa's in Ottawa, the Boselli family brought the best of traditional Italian cuisine.

Ten years after the family arrived in Canada in 1960, Giuliano and his mother - Mamma Teresa - opened the doors to a world of tempting tastes. Together they prepared the dishes of Italy, always remaining true to the original recipes, and creating for Ottawans a new tradition of dining pleasure.

The people of Parma's Emilia Romagna region are noted for their zest for life - they enjoy good food and fine wine. Here, Mamma Teresa learned her home recipes and cooking skills by feeding her own large family of discerning eaters.

When Giuliano and his mother established Mamma Teresa's, they had a tradition of great cooking to build upon. But the road to success is paved with hard work and long hours, and the Boselli family put in busy days to make their dreams come true.

Today, that effort has been rewarded - Mamma Teresa's is known internationally for its good food and warm, friendly atmosphere. Prime Ministers, Premiers, celebrities, and others who appreciate a pleasant dining experience, have all graced Mamma's tables.
