Rossella

Rossella offers a heartfelt and familial atmosphere right in Kentish Town, reflecting the owner Luca Meola's strong family heritage and passion for Italian cuisine. The setting features both indoor dining and an outdoor Al fresco area, where even well-behaved dogs are welcome, enhancing its cozy, inclusive vibe. This restaurant promises a taste of tradition with its lovingly crafted Italian dishes and friendly service, making it a cherished spot amongst locals.

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!

With friendly and warm service, come and feel part of the family and enjoy the taste of tradition at Rossella, whether in the indoor restaurant or the outdoor dining Alfresco area. (We even welcome well-behaved canine friends to join us, too!)
