Rossella is the pride and joy of owner and local Kentish Town resident Luca Meola, the result of family tradition dating back decades:1960: the Meola family opened the first Rossella restaurant in Benevento, Italy, combining products from their family vineyard with their love for food.1978: Luca’s father moved to the UK, made London his home and opened a trattoria where young Luca learned the ropes and discovered his talent for cooking.2011: Luca seized the chance to open his own restaurant aged just nineteen, naming it after the original Rossella restaurant in homage to his roots, and was swiftly embraced by the Kentish Town community. Not only linked by name, they share the same family feel, passion for simple classic Italian dishes with fresh ingredients, not to mention wine from the same family vineyard in Benevento!⭐️ 2018 Opentable Top 100 ⭐️ 2019 Opentable Top 100⭐️ 2020 Opentable Top 100 ⭐️ 2021 Opentable Top 100 ⭐️ 2022 Opentable Top 100⭐️ 2023 Opentable Top 100

For many years, William had wanted to open his own restaurant & finally he has. "The Cart Shed".Showcasing the best of local and seasonal food, much of which will have been produced on the family farm, but we aim not to travel more than 10 miles for any of our ingredients (except for the odd exotic like lemons for your G&T).We have rejuvenated the horticultural side of the farm. Along with poultry, quail and squab pigeons the farm is providing much of the food served in the restaurant.William & his friends will also be out with their guns & fishing rods to provide a little wild meat for the table such as venison, partridge, trout not to mention the humble wood pigeon and rabbit.After a couple of years of interruption caused by COVID & life things are now back to normal with a new team & a newly refurbished restaurant.We look forward to seeing you all soon.

Italy comes to LondonLuca’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 in 2011, when Luca seized the chance to open his own restaurant, carrying the Rossella name in homage to his roots. Embraced by the Kentish Town community, it was built around a family feel, a love of simple, classic Italian dishes made with fresh ingredients and wine from the same family vineyard in Benevento.In 2026, the Rossella family grew with the opening of a second home in Muswell Hill, bringing the same warmth, food and spirit to a new neighbourhood while staying true to everything Rossella stands for.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, dining al fresco.

    I met my friend for breakfast/brunch and had we had a lovely table by the river. I had a Popeye smoothie which was fab and a Chai latte. I wasn’t feeling crazy hungry and thought I was choosing something smaller by choosing the croque madame, which I added spinach to. In my mind this was going to be a relatively small croissant with cheese and spinach. It was actually 2 huge bits of brioche smothered in a lovely sauce and cheese and poached eggs as well as the spinach. I could literally only eat one of them. If you’re hungry definitely go for it. This was my second visit and I will definitely be back.
