Rocca - (Near Kensington and Chelsea, South East)

3 /5 Little Miss DeeDee: We stopped here for lunch after stumbling across the place with my aunt. From the moment we walked in, the welcome was lukewarm at best. No smiles or greeting, just a waiter who pointed us to a table like we were an inconvenience. The service didnt improve. Our waitress was indifferent and spoke in a tone that felt out of place for a mid-range restaurant. Ive genuinely received warmer, more enthusiastic service at a McDonalds. When my aunt asked if the wine on display was the house wine, the waitress replied, "Exactly that," in a noticeably condescending way. The wine was then served in a glass that looked cloudy, as if it hadnt been properly cleaned. The water glasses were also dusty and had visible fingerprints. We were only given clean ones after another waiter took them from a different table. The garlic bread was hot and enjoyable. My fettuccine bolognese was disappointing with very little sauce and the pasta was stuck together, as if it had been microwaved. My aunt, however, really liked her lasagna and said she would return for it.

5 /5 Ana Trujillo: I visit Rocco every time I am in town. The food is always incredible and the service is fun! Can’t recommend the enough whether you are in the mood for pasta, pizza or just want to grab a glass of wine!

5 /5 Hussain Hakimy: Buzzing, beautiful, brilliant restaurant, gives a wonderful authentic and enjoyable vibe, food is served in good time, so many options with the quality being higher than expected. We were hosted by Francesco Who brings a ton of energy and excitement before you even taste the food. 100% recommend to anyone and everyone.

4 /5 Chloe K: Went before Cirque du Soleil around 5:45pm Tuesday evening. No wait. Lovely ambiance and loved the wood table. The menu had mostly traditional Italian pasta so I went for the special of the day - black pasta (didn’t say it was made from squid ink), olives, capers, tuna, chili etc. Rating: 6.5/10 If you like capers and olives, you would enjoy this dish. I never order drinks at restaurants but the homemade lemonade under specials caught my eye. I was very disappointed to find that it tastes like cordial and not sour at all. Didn’t even have lemon pulp and defo didn’t taste homemade. Too sweet for my liking Friend got a risotto which I preferred over mine but it was a bit bland for her as it didn’t have much other than rice. Overall 6/10, not worth a trip but for this but solid restaurant. Might come back for ragu

2 /5 Tugce Eren: The pizza dough is far from what youd expect from an Italian pizza. I didnt like the lasagna either. Its not a good option for a delicious dinner. The soup just had vegetables floating in it; I couldnt taste any flavor.
