Co-owner Monica said she wanted to create an Italian restaurant that reminded her of “warm, gregarious Italian hospitality back at home”.

And she wanted to offer dishes exactly the way her mum makes it in Rome.

Monica believes Italy’s diverse cooking is the “heart and soul” of their restaurant.

The pasta bar is inviting customers to enjoy a meal in its large garden under the arches of the old Windsor Station and also a takeaway option.

The owners said: “Mamma Mia offers freshly baked, hand-made slices of Al Taglio style of pizza encompasses the very essences of Roman cuisine.

“Produced with a variety of different toppings that change daily.”

The restaurant also has a wide range of homemade cakes and ice cream, which are available every day.
