Some fussy friends who eat out a lot had recommended this as a favourite option, and I could quite see why. Delicious, authentic Italian food (an excellent frittura mista followed by home-made pasta with a beautifully flavoured sauce) and a half-litre of good Sicilian wine for what, by the standards of the Bermonssey Street neighbourhood, are very reasonable prices. It was full of people enjoying themselves and chatting happily, and no wonder. The only problem may be how to get in, as it is small (but they do manage to use the space to maximum effect). I feel stupid for not having been before - we live round the corner and have quite often visited the deli that runs in the daytime -- but will certainly be back!

A pre-gig meal was enjoyed at this neighbourhood favourite . Perfectly situated a short walk from the Forum , Rosellas was welcoming with very friendly staff and delicious food to match. The prawn and Crab tortellini was full of flavour and left us wanting more. The Tiramisu to finish was the perfect end to a lovely meal. Dine here, you won’t be disappointed.

Good location, nicely laid out interior and welcoming staff. Menu offered was amazing and varied with a great selection of quintessential Italian delights. Quality of food was outstanding, fresh, flavoursome and good portions - ambience was as expected but we did eat at a quieter time and confident it gets busy due to quality of food on offer. Overall really enjoyed our experience and highly recommended.
