Rocca South Kensington in City of London, Westminster

Came in for a quick lunch before heading to the museum. Cozy place with amazing homely food! Will be coming back whenever we are in the area.

This is a somewhat mixed review. The food is good. The service is quick. The prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly. So why only three stars? Because it is unbearably noisy. The acoustics are awful and there is loud music on top of t If you were planning to talk to someone, forget it. I measured the noise level at 80 dB If you are alone and have noise-canceling earbuds with you, great place. Highly recommended. Otherwise, somewhat less so,

Nice place to dine in with family, food is really good and reasonably prices , overall good value for money. Friendly staff ,i think his name was Ahmed.

Great service and lovely Gluten Free pizza base. My non coeliac friends enjoyed their full-gluten pizzas too!! We dropped in on bank holiday Monday and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Will definitely return next time we’re in the area.

“The service was excellent!The staff is friendly, attentive. Food was amazing and overall great dining experience. “

It was our first time in this restaurant. The atmosphere was lovely and staff amazing we been in so many restaurants but so welcoming and friendly staff we haven’t seen in a while. They also helped us to choose what to have for or lunch ,we chose special what was fettuccine salmon and it was so incredible would highly recommend. Overall 5 ⭐️service , 5 ⭐️ food ,and almost forgot to mention for dessert we had a Tiramisu best one what we had 10 ⭐️ . We will be back for sure

My husband and I absolutely love Rocca. It is our local Italian restaurant. A nice walk from home. We don’t eat out often, usually with friends, because my husband loves my cooking (and I love to cook), but when we feel like a ‘date night’ we always choose Rocca. It’s also where we suggest going with friends. Great service, food, fun casual atmosphere in a nice setting that makes it a festive treat. I can wear a dress or be casual. Perfect for couples, families, large groups, but just as easily, solo. Our only problem is we always order the same thing when it’s the two of us: margarita pizza for him, half linguine with pistachio pesto for me, and aubergine parmigiana starter. And garlic pizza. We went the other night and the manager said, ‘I make all these new dishes, why don’t you try something new?’ So tonight I hope we will return, with his old childhood friend visiting. All the staff are warm and professional and lovely, but big shout out to Vasko, of Bulgaria, the one waiter who can stand up to my husband’s jokes, and give as good as he gets. Can’t wait to return tonight, fingers crossed. Already looking at the menu to try something new. Oh and their desserts are great. Best tiramisu. And rice balls. Everything we’ve tried is great.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, friendly and accommodating staff, attention to dietary needs, wine selection from various regions of Italy. We dined here three times because we enjoyed the food! The choices were varied to accomodate the palates of our group of four. A variety of seating options worked well to offer choice and meet the weather conditions. We enjoyed the pastas and pizzas! Deliciously prepared food at reasonable prices!

The moment we stepped in, we knew we had made the right choice. Everybody seemed to be having a good time—customers and staff alike! As the meal progressed, this welcome feeling only grew thanks to our server Ahmet and later Bea, who happily encouraged us to try their tiramisu, indeed a great one. We shared a special appetizer, Burrata with fresh basil, tomatoes and pickled onions and then perfectly grilled lamb (pink) with mushooms for my husband and the radiatori with broccoli and quanciale for me. After the tiramisu, Ahmet brought us each a complimetary cold limoncello, a perfect end to a perfect meal. Thank you, Rocca. P.S. we learned from Bea that the staff have all been there a long time, friend at work and outside-always a good sign when there is such loyalty.)

Authentic and delicious Italian food. Great service, reasonable prices, and delightful atmosphere. We had one of the best pizzas we've had in a long time, but all the people around us seemed to be enjoying their dishes.

Very nice meal. Good menu and ambiance and friendly professional service. Had one of the specials of the day, which was delicious.

Beautiful, authentic Italian restaurant. Lovely atmosphere. The food was incredible, fresh, delicious and very reasonably priced especially given the location. The service was perfect.. friendly and very attentive. Will definitely be back.

We had an early dinner here as part of a New Year's Eve celebration with the family. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere, the food was great and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The price of the food and drinks were also extremely reasonable for London. We would recommend to anyone.

Lovely family run italian restaurant with fantastic food at affordable prices! Love this restaurant for a reliable quality meal with good service and nice atmosphere. Burrata was great and the salmon pasta was delicious! Will definitely be returning here again for a lovely italian!

Stayed in South Kensington for a few days and ate here twice. This has to be one of the best restaurants in the area, not only for the fantastic food, also for the exemplary service and atmosphere. It’s not expensive, it’s not fancy, it’s just excellent.

Beautiful place with good Italian food, great service and most important a great homey vibe. We came here twice while staying in South Kensington.

Celebrating a birthday during our family trip to London, we found Rocca almost by chance. The food was terrific. Truly, terrific. There was something to please everyone from picky teens to well traveled palettes. The fresh pressed apple juice kicked off our delightful meal and we ended sharing desserts. In the middle, the hunter chicken knocked my socks off. I expected to share and it was so tasty that I was rather greedy! Also loved the generous attitude of the servers. 10/10 would return!

Great food, friendly service. I wouldn't say this unless I honestly thought it, but i'm 99% sure our waiter was drunk, he spilt a drink over my wife, and then put another drink down hard on top of another drink already on the table and nearly smashed the glass. Hopefully if they know or suspect whom he is they can deal with it.

Popped in to this restaurant expecting the usual Italian fare, but far from it, this was very good fresh food, good atmosphere and very good price Highly recommended

The staff here were very interactive and friendly. The food here was divine - delicious pasta that we all had, lots to offer on the menu plus the ice cream being one of the best we have ever tasted. We shall be back!

This restaurant is like being in Italy! Very friendly staff, very nice food (particularly with the Pasta!). Accommodating with the chairs for infants and generally very pleasant atmosphere.

Great, authentic Italian food. Our waiter was excellent, a true professional. The food was straight out of Italy , as was the wine. The food, service and pricing was perfect

Buzzy neighbourhood restaurant in South Kensington where it’s not so easy to find somewhere that offers good value. But Rocco does! Good Italian food is served here at prices that aren’t matched elsewhere. That’s why it’s usually busy with people who know about it including students. Friendly service too and they always seem to find you a table. Gluten free diet is catered for with pasta or pizza base. Highly recommended.

We went to Rocca for dinner before the theatre. The food and service was amazing. My husband had the lasagne and I ordered the salmon. Both dishes were delicious. We couldn't order dessert because we were running late but the menu looked great.

After visiting a exhibition literally just down the road from this restaurant we decided to have lunch in the first restaurant we came to. What a gem of a restaurant. My food was excellent and the service was spot on.
