Our Story
Mamma Lina's Italian Restaurant is owned and managed by two families who both set up home in Wales in the 1990s. Our story began with the first Mamma Lina's restaurant in Clifton Street, Cardiff, where Lina Intriglia, mother of our current co-owner Massimo, was in charge for five very successful years before retiring. Massimo, who was running his own restaurant in Manchester at the time, teamed up with close family friend Gianluca Pandolfi and together made the decision to resurrect Mamma Lina's. Six years ago, they chose to open the new Mamma Lina's in Rogerstone, Newport, employing family members and using the same traditional recipes previously used in Cardiff. The restaurant was an immediate success, and within twelve months of opening, they needed a larger venue, moving to the 160-seater restaurant on Tregwilym Road, which is still our home today.
