It's one of our favourite Italian places to visit in London... Pizzas and pastas are excellent... Highly recommended... Plus the view is not bad at all.
Pizza was the best I've had in the UK. What a surprising find! Little desserts are tasty too and only £2. Loved the decor too. Toilets are a bit of a trek though. Food came very quickly but it was fairly quiet (Saturday late afternoon to early evening)
Went there on a busy weekend. There was a bit of wait and the kitchen was struggling to cope but the servers were doing their best to make the wait less painful.
The starter was very nice and huge so I was full by the time the main arrived. Given the starter, the good main was still a bit of a disappointment. I didn't try the pizzas but they look great. I had no room left for dessert.
The only bad points I could find is that because of the very high ceiling, the place is quite noisy and they don't have their own toilets. You have to use the store ones which are very far.
Lovely food and decent table service ok it was quiet when we visited but the food was served quickly, well presented and very tasty. When we were there one couple asked about dishes that were not on the menu and the Waitress asked the kitchen staff if feasible. Another table was a Father with two young children who the staff looked after and we're understanding when there was a minor spillage.
While not cheap it was not too expensive and for me the dishes and drinks we ordered were worth the value and it was like being in Italy while looking our over Kingston high Street.
The space with its high ceilings and large windows made it a pleasant dining experience. It was also helped by the friendly service we received. Having lunch with a 3 year old and 1 year old became relatively relaxing. Spaghetti bolognese had a bit too much sauce and not enough spaghetti.

As Italian normally i would avoid going in italian restaurants but i have to say that Rossopomodoro is quite famous in our country so i decided to give them a try. Concerning the environment i have to say that is very good and very brightful, plus there's a very nice large window that looks out the main street. The place was very crowded at that moment so i feared that i would have to wait but instead they received me in a couple of minutes. About food, well as i said before i'm italian so i'm the first one that gets mad when something is not 100% italian, this is definetly not the case; they serve a variety of real italian/neapolitan dishes, all well made and presented. Considering how many people were inside i have to say that table service was quite good and fast, expecially pizzas ( which btw i have ordered). I read the other reviews and i can understand complaints about the prices but honestly here in the UK i saw a lot of fake italian restaurants that apply the same price for poor quality food, if not italian at all. Quality has to be paid and surely here you'll find it ! Recommended
Unless someone tells you about this place your likely to never find it. The staff were nice seeming on the surface but I didnt get the welcoming attentive vibe you would expect of a restaurant attached to John Lewis. I also can't remember if the staff gave my children crayons and stickers or we did but either way there access to crayons and stickers and a great time was had by all children drawing and going nuts as usual.
The pizza and the salad were full of flavour and the staff were amazing, their attention to our 2.5yr old son made the time here a pleasure. Will be recommending it to any friends that come to Kingston.
The post-Christmas Sales brought my husband and me to Kingston yesterday. After an afternoon of dealing with the crowds in Bentalls, we ended up in John Lewis and the haven of calm that is Rossopomodoro. It was my first time here, my husband's third. I loved it. We had a table by the window with a view of the Xmas lights. The service was great, and the pizzas were fantastic. I would also recommend the 'crocchi' (I think that's what they were called- potato croquettes with a dip) and the best potato wedges I've had anywhere. Do go and try this place out.
The best pizza you’ll get in Kingston, lovely sourdough. Great for takeaways, but if you do dine in, while being inside John Lewis is not ideal, the lovely bright location with a view over the passersby is great.
