Hi all, this is lovely restaurant with family run vibe. Good service and food as a great authentic italian taste. Visited it twice over two weekends. Not overly priced given you are in south Ken. Recommended.

Lovely place for a tired traveler to come to for a late lunch after a 10 hour flight! Atmosphere is very nice and the food was delicious. Our table had the linguini with seafood, lasagna and risotto and all was excellent. Would definitely come back again.

Dining on a Friday evening meant there was a lovely atmosphere even though we sat down at 5pm. We ate the arancini and the caprese salad, carbonara and spaghetti bolognaise, and shared the tiramisu. The food was nice overall but the caprese salad was lacking - lots of tomatoes but one small slice of cheese with a few olives on the side, they only grated a small amount of Parmesan on the pasta even though we asked for more, and the arancini did not have the cheesy middle I was expecting as is usually the case. Also, although the staff were attentive, as we arrived at 5pm when they were quiet, we were asked 7 times in 10 minutes of arriving if we were ready to order our food although we repeatedly asked if they could slow down. So this was not a great start to the experience. Would recommend, but book in advance.

Great spot for a late dinner! Every other restaurant in the area was closing (around 9:30/10pm) so we wandered here and were super happy with the food (our favorites were the rice balls, mozzarella, and ravioli) and service. Will definitely go back.

I went there on a Friday. The waiter dropped lasagne on a customer and was not even apologetic. Moreover he gave us half a portion of lasagne and pretended that he didn’t notice it. Even after they bought out a second one which was marginally bigger, the lasagne was very poor quality. It was as if they had bought it from Aldi and heated it up. There were more layers of pasta than beef. I also ordered a crab linguini and there were 5 small flickers of crab in there. They said they can put more crab and admitted that this was not right. After all this they had the audacity go charge me service charge on my bill which I refused to pay. To be honest they should be embarrassed to bring me a bill after the food was so bad and the service so so poor. I have had 2 good experiences here in the past but I will never return.

Really enjoyed our experience at Rocca today - nice ambience, good selection of food on the menu, and we enjoyed our selections. The service was especially good - the staff noticed our toddler was enjoying a plate of olives we had ordered (with stones, so we were carefully pitting them), and brought a complementary bowl of pitted ones just for him!

We were visiting London and were heading out for a pint and some pub grub. Rocca was right down the street from our hotel, and Italian sounded like a nice change of pace instead. Great choice! If you’re looking for white table cloths and expensive bottles of wine, this isn’t it. But it isn’t your average pizza place either. Good food with lots of choices, an outstanding staff, and reasonably priced, considering the location.

This was an okay experience, the food was okay. We ordered a pasta and pizza, both were not impressive but can’t say bad! Service was mixed, a male host was welcoming and nice, then a waiter was very rude with bad attitude! Then we had a very friendly and welcoming waitress looking after our orders. We complained to the male host from the guy waiter attitude, he apologised and I think asked the male waiter not to serve our table. Overall, this was our first time here and I don’t think we will come back.

Nestled in the heart of London, this unassuming gem transcends the boundaries of culinary expectations, delivering what can only be described as the pinnacle of pasta perfection. As someone who has spent two years traversing the gastronomic landscapes of Europe, including the hallowed kitchens of Italy, I can say without hesitation that this establishment serves the finest pasta I have ever encountered. From the moment the plate was placed before me, the visual artistry of the dish was immediately apparent—a delicate balance of color, texture, and aroma that hinted at the mastery within. The pasta itself was a revelation: flawlessly al dente, with a tender resilience that spoke of fresh, expertly crafted dough. Each strand and shape, whether cloaked in a silky carbonara, a vibrant pomodoro, or a rich, slow-simmered ragù, was a testament to the chef’s intimate understanding of this beloved Italian staple. The sauces were no mere accompaniments but symphonies of flavor that harmonized perfectly with the pasta, elevating each bite to a level of pure, unadulterated pleasure. Whether it was the depth of umami in the meat sauces or the bright, tangy notes in the vegetarian offerings, every element was meticulously balanced, showcasing ingredients of the highest quality. It’s a rare achievement for any restaurant to rival the authenticity and passion found in the trattorias of Italy, yet this London eatery not only meets that challenge but surpasses it. The experience is a sensory journey, transporting you to the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany or the bustling streets of Rome, all while seated in the vibrant and cosmopolitan setting of London. In two years of exploring Europe’s culinary capitals, this pasta remains unparalleled. It’s not just a meal; it’s an ode to the Italian tradition, crafted with an artistry that could easily stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in Rome or Florence. For anyone who cherishes the craft of pasta-making, this place is an absolute must-visit—an oasis of Italian excellence in the heart of London.

The burrata was more of a ball of bad mozarella…it was not soft or spreadable from the inside. There was barelyyy any pesto either. It was basically just a overpriced margaritas as I spent 3£ extra to add cheese😭 but the staff was friendly

Our tour guide in London recommended this place to us because we were staying in a hotel near the South Kensington tube. The service, food, and ambiance were awesome. I would have taken the train to come to this place. It has lovely brick exposed walls. It smells like delicious calories when you walk in. The staff seated us quickly at our reserved table. They were knowledgeable about the food. They cooked my salmon pasta from scratch because I don't like garlic. They were very attentive throughout. We had an absolutely lovely experience in this very lively restaurant. Lively does not mean loud -- we had no problem talking here. I will seek this place out next time that I am in London, but I give it a full-throated endorsement now!!

A great afternoon at Rocca. After a head injury I need quiet environments and the team at Rocca were fantastic. They kindly let us sit anywhere in the restaurant and also turned the volume of the music down - which I find most restaurants in London don't do! Amazing food, brilliant service and the perfect atmosphere for someone with sound sensitivity (we were here for a late lunch at around 3pm). I also appreciated how flexible you are with the menu - thank you for tailoring the dish I ordered - it was just perfect! Thank you and will definitely be back!

I have been here a few times now as the food is excellent. I always get the garlic bread to start - it’s not your standard garlic bread, trust me it’s awesome. Most recently for main I had the lamb chops which were cooked to perfectly. The potatoes could do with a little seasoning but just my preference. The only thing I do feel is you do feel a little rushed. As this is a more high end pizzeria rather then cheaper other chains please wait for your diners to finish their starter before bringing the main. I understand you have to turn tables as I worked in this industry but on the occasion I have been the restaurant has not been full so there is no need to rush the diners you do have. Again just from my experience but the food and staff are delightful, the restaurant feels clean and tidy and the location is great. Thank you!!
