Rossella

Authentic Homemade Italian Cuisine

Enjoy a little slice of Italy in Kentish Town with delicious food, drinks and dessert at Rossella.

A hidden gem, this family-run restaurant and deli may be tucked away in Kentish Town but is very popular with the locals. One telling the waiter "I'll be back tomorrow" while patting his stomach as he left.

The food is as delicious as it is vibrant and beautifully presented. Start your meal with the Bruschetta di Pomodoro with fresh tomatoes, basil pilled high upon homemade bread before drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.

The Zucchini Fritti came in a crispy batter with aioli dip, making a nice change from fries, while the Burrata was deliciously creamy and topped with seasonal vine tomatoes and basil.

The pizza is made in the authentic and traditional Neapolitan way. We loved the Napoli with capers, anchovies, black olives and basil served on tomato and mozzarella base.

Seafood lovers must try the Spaghetti Scoglio. Served in a seafood bisque, this spaghetti is piled high with mussels, shrimps, king prawn & fresh calamari sautéed with a garlic and white wine sauce.

We adored the Ricotta & Black Truffle Filled Pasta. Indulgent and creamy, this fresh ravioloni is filled with ricotta & black truffle and served in a mushroom, parmesan, cream and white wine sauce.

Complete the experience with cocktails and dessert. The Hazelnut Dark & Stormy puts a nutty twist on the classic drink with dark rum, ginger beer and Frangelico, while the Amaretto Sour is frothy and sweet, with Disaronno, lemon, egg white and cherries.

The perfect end to your meal, indulge with Homemade Tiramisu with Tia Maria, amaretto and a scoop of vanilla gelato topped off with a hot shot of espresso.
