About

Rossella is a family-run Italian restaurant in Kentish Town where authentic recipes have been passed down through three generations of the Meola family, from their original restaurant in Benevento, Italy opened in 1960. The buzzy atmosphere and genuine Italian hospitality have made it a well-loved neighbourhood favourite for both casual dinners and special celebrations.

Guests particularly appreciate the homemade pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and weekly specials featuring seasonal ingredients, all made with care using traditional Italian methods. The menu includes gluten-free options and homemade limoncello and meloncello. The attached deli offers authentic Italian products, some sourced from the family's own farm in Italy.

Dogs are welcome both inside and outside, making it an excellent choice for dining out with your four-legged friend. The restaurant's relaxed approach to canine guests and spacious seating areas make it particularly popular with local dog owners.
