Pink Mama’s is an al fresco Italian restaurant nestled in the heart of Johannesburg, set in a beautifully restored family home — painted a signature soft pink, of course.

We serve comforting, heartwarming Italian cuisine in a relaxed setting, where every meal feels homemade just for you.

With hand-selected décor that merges European countryside with cosmopolitan Johannesburg, and a vibrant, welcoming ambiance, Pink Mama’s is the perfect, Instagram-worthy spot for long lazy lunches, romantic dinners, or unforgettable gatherings with friends. Come for the food, stay for the atmosphere — because life is better with a little Italian.

    Pink mamas is a beautiful place, not just aesthetics but the food and drinks are delicious. Waiters deliver great service and provide suggestions. The only thing I wish they can warn people who'd like to visit the restaurant is that there is no parking inside the actual restaurant, you will park on the street. One of our friend's phone was mugged yesterday, the guards and thw patrolling security cars all called this street a "hot spot" and no one was willing to do anything about it. So if everyone is aware that every week someone gets mugged when they come out of Pink Mamas why are we not alerted in advance?...this made the end of a beautiful lunch turn sour. We will not be visiting again as a result.

    Great vibe and great catch-up evening! Although don't have too much fun as other patrons may look at you askew!

    The space is beautiful. I came to see how Pink Mama’s turned around the disaster of Livy’s and they did. There were some hits as and misses and with food, but more hits than misses. It could be our down to the pressure of a very busy day on the kitchen. The cocktails were also good. I will go back.

    This could’ve been a 5/5 review, however the lady who greeted us at the door looked like she didn’t want to be there. She was visibly annoyed, and standoffish. I smiled at her and she walked right past me to show us to our table. Bheki our waiter is the reason we stayed. He was warm, friendly and his service was excellent. Perhaps she was having a bad day, but we were so close to leaving because we didn’t feel welcome at all.
