Kentish Town

About the restaurant

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.

2012: Luca seized the chance to open his own restaurant, naming it after the original Rossella in homage to his roots, and was swiftly embraced by the Kentish Town community. The same family feel, simple classic Italian dishes made with fresh ingredients, and wine from the family vineyard in Benevento.

2026: the Rossella family grew with a second home in Muswell Hill.

Dogs welcome. OpenTable Top 100 every year from 2018 to 2023.

About the restaurant

PIZZA GONE PUNK
Camden has long been home to counterculture, so nothing felt more natural than opening the 2nd Purezza here in 2018. Things have changed a little since then – we doubled in size, but we’ve never lost sight of our values.

Always looking to change the game.

King's Cross

About the restaurant

Fatto a Mano Pizza & Beer serves authentic Neapolitan pizza & independent craft beers alongside sides and desserts. Our dough is made fresh daily and proved slowly, meaning we're able to use minimal quantities of yeast and our pizzas are light. Our commitment is to quality, and we use carefully selected Italian and local British ingredients from a handful of small, independent suppliers to top our pizzas.

Six beers on tap and more in the fridge, including our own Fatto Bionda Helles Lager and Joosy Hazy Pale from Brighton’s UnBarred, and The Kernel’s Table Beer. We work with small producers as long term partners, including Fior Di Latte Mozzarella sourced from Caserta, Campania and wines imported directly from private Italian growers. The pizzeria menu features classics such as Margherita, salsiccia e friarielli, diavola and Fatto a Mano's scugnizielli dessert, whilst also featuring modern additions including lasagna pizza, homemade arancini and our own vegan 'nduja pizza.

Muswell Hill

About the restaurant

Italy comes to London
Luca’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 2012, 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.

First time going here and it’s definitely a gem! The staff were all lovely and our waitress in particular was super attentive. They noted we had a birthday for the booking and they made it feel like a special occasion. It has a very cosy but romantic feel making it perfect for families and couples. All the food we had was absolutely delicious and perfectly portioned. We will definitely be back!
