About Mammas and Papas Ristorante and Pizzeria

Randwick’s bustling Perouse Road trattoria turns out scratch-cooked pastas, thin-crusted pizzas, and old-school hospitality with zero fuss. Regulars flock in after screenings at the nearby Ritz cinema, uncorking their own bottles over steaming plates of slow-simmered lamb ragù and thin, blistered pies stacked with toppings. Papa himself often weaves through the noisy, packed dining room to check on tables. Dinner wraps up over house-made tiramisu or a warm Nutella pizza sliced for sharing.

  • BYO Welcome: Bring your favourite bottle of wine to pair with made-to-order pastas and thin-crust pizza.
  • Scratch-Made Italian Classics: Hearty bowls of lamb ragù, truffle risotto, and generously topped pizzas cooked to order.
  • Hands-On Hospitality: The owner frequently visits tables directly, creating a warm, family-style welcome.
