About

Rossella is a family run Italian restaurant in Kentish Town, built on authentic recipes passed down through three generations of the Meola family. With roots in their original restaurant opened in 1960 in Benevento, Rossella brings true Italian cooking & warm hospitality to the neighbourhood. Its lively atmosphere and heartfelt service have made it a much loved spot for both relaxed dining & special occasions.

Guests love Rossella for its handmade pasta, authentic Neapolitan style pizzas & seasonal dishes rooted in traditional Italian cooking. The menu also caters for gluten free diners & features homemade cellos from the Amalfi Coast, including limoncello & meloncello made to family recipes. Family produced wines from the Benevento vineyard feature on the wine list, adding a true sense of heritage. Alongside the restaurant, a dedicated Italian deli offers a wide selection of Italian products, from everyday essentials to gift worthy specialities sourced directly from Italy.

Dogs are welcome both inside & outside at Rossella, making it an ideal spot for dining with your four legged friend. We even offer a dedicated canine menu, so dogs can enjoy their own meal while you relax. With a warm, laid back atmosphere & plenty of space, Rossella is a favourite among local dog owners.
