Rossella is the pride and joy of owner and local Kentish Town resident Luca Meola, the result of family tradition dating back decades:

1960: the Meola family opened the first Rossella restaurant in Benevento, Italy, combining products from their family vineyard with their love for food.

1978: Luca’s father moved to the UK, made London his home and opened a trattoria where young Luca learned the ropes and discovered his talent for cooking.

2011: Luca seized the chance to open his own restaurant aged just nineteen, naming it after the original Rossella restaurant in homage to his roots, and was swiftly embraced by the Kentish Town community. Not only linked by name, they share the same family feel, passion for simple classic Italian dishes with fresh ingredients, not to mention wine from the same family vineyard in Benevento!

    Hadn’t been to this restaurant for several years and now regret this negligence. Excellent value for money. Generous portions and good quality of food. The wine is severed in 175ml glasses not the 125ml that other restaurants use to short change diners. I had a Primativo which was surprisingly good. Well done

    A pre-gig meal was enjoyed at this neighbourhood favourite . Perfectly situated a short walk from the Forum , Rosellas was welcoming with very friendly staff and delicious food to match. The prawn and Crab tortellini was full of flavour and left us wanting more. The Tiramisu to finish was the perfect end to a lovely meal. Dine here, you won’t be disappointed.

    Very convenient for a meal before going to O2 Kentish Town. Food and wine very tasty - recommend Bruschetta di Pomodoro, Zucchini Fritti, Pizza Verde (apparently the Pollo Crema e Funghi was also excellent) and the house red from the family vineyard. Staff very friendly and efficient. Relaxed atmosphere even though very busy. Will definitely go again.

    I always bring families with children to Rosella because the staff are so kind and the icecream menu is impressive. They have never been disappointed.
