Our History

Bella Mama Rose takes its name from the well loved Rose Denino Zancocchio, a long time friendly and familiar face of her family’s tavern, Denino’s Pizzeria located in Port Richmond Staten Island. She is known to most as “Aunt Rose” and our pizzas as well as many of our dishes are prepared with her authentic Sicilian family recipes that have been passed through the family’s generations. With Rose’s love of family and friends in mind, we offer most of our menu in family style portions so that you can make yourself at home and enjoy a home cooked meal with yours without all of the mess and work.
