A family passion since 1960
Rossella is the pride and joy of owner and local Kentish Town resident Luca Meola. It is the result of family tradition dating back decades.
Benevento, Italy. The journey begins!
The first Rossella restaurant was opened by the Meola family in Benevento, Italy in 1960. It was founded on a passione for great food, great ingredients and community.
Italy comes to London
Luca’s father moved to the UK in 1978 and made London his home. Here he opened a trattoria where young Luca learned the art of being a restaurateur and discovered his talent for cooking.
This London-Italian tradizione continued when in 2011 Luca seized the chance to open his own restaurant, continuing the Rossella name in homage to his roots. The restaurant was swiftly embraced by the Kentish Town community.
It shares the same community based family feel, a passion for simple classic Italian dishes with fresh ingredients and, of course, wine from the same family vineyard in Benevento.
We invite you to continue our journey when you visit, feel part of our
family and enjoy the taste of traditional Italian food, whether inside the restaurant or, London sunshine permitting, dine al fresco.
