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.
Teresa Boselli, born in Borgotaro, Italy,
immigrated to Canada in 1957. She passed away
on April 2nd, 2003. She will be greatly missed by all.
