We have been here often and really enjoy the food service and atmosphere. Everyone is attentive and professional. The pasta with lamb was the best I have had abd not too big a portion. House wine was good value. We will return!

As a family we have been going to Rosella for years but didn't have a great experience last time.....but I wanted (for old time sake) wanted to give it another go. Well it was well worth it - had such a lovely evening and staff were great as was the food. Perfect in every way so I would highly recommend it albeit I don't want to recommend it too much as I won't be able to get a table next time 🙃
