Rossella

About

Rossella is a beloved Italian trattoria nestled in the heart of London’s Kentish Town neighbourhood. Founded in 1960 in Benevento by the Meola family, the restaurant has carried the same family‑run warmth and passion for authentic Italian cuisine to the capital since Luca Meola opened the London branch in 2011. The menu showcases time‑honoured recipes such as osso buco, bass, and ricotta ravioli, combined with fresh produce from the family’s vineyards. The dining room’s welcoming, family‑friendly atmosphere is complemented by a rooftop bar offering panoramic views of the city. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch, a cosy dinner, or a festive holiday celebration, Rossella offers dog‑friendly seating, a selection of gluten‑free pizza and pasta, and a full bar of Italian wines and liqueurs. Char‑grilled pizzas, risottos and homemade limoncello, with seasonal menu rotations, make each visit a delicious discovery. Private hire and group bookings for up to seven guests can be arranged via the OpenTable widget, while smaller groups can call or email directly. Rossella’s commitment to quality extends beyond the kitchen. The deli shop stocks hand‑picked cheeses, cured meats, olives, and a range of Italian delicacies for home delivery or collection, while complimentary curb‑side pickup is available onsite. With an emphasis on fresh ingredients and the family’s long‑standing culinary heritage, Rossella remains a sought‑after destination for both locals and visitors craving authentic Italian flavours in an inviting setting.
