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.

2011: Luca seized the chance to open his own restaurant aged just nineteen, naming it after the original Rossella restaurant in homage to his roots, and was swiftly embraced by the Kentish Town community. Not only linked by name, they share the same family feel, passion for simple classic Italian dishes with fresh ingredients, not to mention wine from the same family vineyard in Benevento!

My brother in law had recently tried a pornstar martini and was keen for me to try one. They made this happen even though it wasn’t on their menu and even pointed out that they were following the classic method of serving the delicious passion fruit drink with an accompanying shot of Prosecco.

From pâté en croûte and crab toast through to grilled poussin and twice baked goats cheese soufflés, menus draw inspiration from the grand brasseries of Paris, using seasonal produce and modern techniques. It's dining that's generous, inviting and suitable for every occasion. For large bookings, private dining and exclusive hire, The Midland Grand Dining Room has a variety of options available, including a Private Dining Room and Chef's Table. In June 2023, The Midland Grand Dining Room was awarded the coveted 'One To Watch' at the National Restaurant Awards.

About the restaurant

El Pirata is a hidden gem serving acclaimed Spanish tapas for almost 30 years. Tucked away in the corner of Mayfair, El Pirata ensures that every guest instantly feels at home through their relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff, some of whom have been at El Pirata since the very beginning meaning they work as a seamless team. El Pirata couples the comforting appeal of a central London establishment with the energetic dynamism of a new opening. They have an expansive tapas menu featuring classic dishes and recently have added some new dishes to strengthen the experience offered to guests. They boast an equally impressive wine list of over 100 wines at great value particularly for Mayfair.

Whether you are dining in the artistic upstairs with a feature bar, in the atmospheric downstairs Cellar, or sipping rioja al fresco, El Pirata offers true escapism so you feel you’re in Madrid rather than Mayfair and is a firm favourite for those who want an authentic Spanish experience in London.

About the restaurant

A modern, glass-fronted Indian on the burgeoning strip between The Bedford pub and Balham High Road, Indian Room has found itself something of a haven for couples. It must be the serene whiteness (table linen, walls) and candlelight. Then there’s the health-conscious cooking using as little as oil as possible. Well worth trying are the handful of dishes unique to this popular local restaurant, a wonderful apricot chicken Kashmir among them. Chicken madras, and a super-hot chicken vindaloo are consistently the most-ordered of the ‘All Time Favourites.’

Excellent and delicious food and quick and friendly service. One of our party of 5 is a visitor from the USA who loves Indian food, which is in short supply in his home city of Portland, Oregon. He was very impressed. The restaurant also offered an after dinner liqueur on the house, which we gladly accepted. A really great dinner all round.

Following a full refurbishment in April 2015 this flagship restaurant has brought its whole look up-to-date rivaling the best in Central London. With stunning wooden screens surrounding luxurious leather seating, it certainly sets the scene for an exquisite meal or delicious cocktail. With a late license, this is certainly the place to go!
