Luca grew up in Italy, where pasta was a big part of family meals and the food he remembers from home 🍝
Those memories have followed him into Rossella, and you’ll see them throughout our pasta menu. From Tonnarelli di Mare with cod, salmon, prawns, calamari, mussels and clams, to Ravioli di Zucca with butternut squash and ricotta.
It’s a little taste of the food Luca grew up with, now being served at both Rossella Muswell Hill and Kentish Town 🇮🇹 *Available now at Rossella Muswell Hill and Kentish Town.

There’s something about goat’s cheese, beetroot and balsamic that just belongs on an autumn menu 🍂
Our Insalata Caprina brings them together with warm baked goat’s cheese, roasted red peppers, walnuts and pomegranate seeds, all finished with our house dressing and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
It’s fresh, a little sweet, a little nutty and one of those dishes that shows a salad definitely doesn’t have to be boring. *Available now at Rossella Muswell Hill and Kentish Town. 🇮🇹

Listen to Luca as he shares three reasons you need to come and eat at Rossella 🇮🇹
We’ve been serving our family’s authentic Italian recipes for over 60 years, with the same love for good food and bringing people together at the heart of everything we do.
And then there’s the tiramisu… we’ll let Luca explain why that deserves a visit of its own ☕️

Simple Italian cooking at its best - Our Tonnarelli alla Nerano is a Rossella take on a much-loved classic.

A cocktail before dinner? We thought you’d never ask🍸

Some recipes are too special to change, and our tiramisu is one of them ☕️🇮🇹
It comes from Luca’s grandmother’s recipe, the kind of dessert that would be made at home in Italy and brought straight to the table in the dish for everyone to tuck into.
That’s exactly how we still serve it at Rossella today. No fancy plating, just a big spoonful straight from the dish, the way it’s always been done in Luca’s family.
It’s become one of our most-loved desserts, but for us, it’ll always be a little taste of home.

Christmas at Rossella is all about what matters most to us: family, food and everyone coming together around the table 🎄
In Italy, Christmas is a time for long meals, sharing good food and making an occasion of it. That’s exactly what inspired this year’s Christmas Specials, with dishes including slow braised Ossobuco alla Milanese with saffron risotto, roasted monkfish with Prosecco, butter and truffle sauce, and Millefoglie with vanilla custard, berries and pistachios.
And of course, there’s something festive to raise a glass with too, including our Mulled W**e Spritzer and Winter Berry Spritz.
Christmas bookings are now open. Visit our website to book your table and celebrate the Italian way with us ✨

We know, we know... it's only October. But Christmas will be here before we know it!
Growing up in Italy, so much of Christmas happened around the table. Sitting down together for a big meal was always part of the celebration, and that's something we wanted to bring into this year's Christmas menu.
Peperone Ripieno and slow-braised Ossobuco alla Milanese are among this year's Christmas Specials, with Millefoglie for dessert and a beautifully spiced Mulled W**e Spritzer to go alongside it all 🍷
It's our little nod to Christmas back home, and we can't wait to share it with you.

Our new autumn menu is here at Rossella! 🍂
The cooler months have always been about comforting food, and for Luca, that takes him straight back to the dishes he grew up with in Italy.
You'll see a little of that throughout the new menu, with dishes like our Rigatoni alla Norma and Insalata Caprina with warm baked goat's cheese. There's also our Tortelloni ai Gamberi, stuffed with king prawns and ricotta in a creamy white w**e sauce.
And for dessert, Mousse al Cioccolato, because chocolate cake season is very much upon us.
That's just a little look at what's new. We can't wait for you to try the rest! *Available now at Rossella Muswell Hill.
