The restaurant was very busy at around 6pm with the family crowd, we had to wait 20mins for a table, then quiet and a lot of free tables around 7:30pm. We had the goats cheese salad, seafood risotto and seafood linguine. All were fine but I’d try something different next time. They don’t have children’s menu but do the pastas and pizza’s in children’s portions.

An impromptu early dinner at Rocca Dulwich Village.
Seating outside was full so I accepted a table inside. Inside had a few diners spaciously sat around the restaurant. My server was well presented, smart, clean, smiley and pleasant.
I ordered the Grilled Prawns. VERY nicely flavoured, tasty and well cooked. The Goats cheese salad wasn't quite what I was expecting visually but tasted nice and flavorful. Chocolate Cake was more like a moose/gateau texture than an actually baked chocolate cake which was nice. Pinot Grigio was an ideal addition to my meal and perfect for the summery day.
Overall a pleasant meal, pleasant service.
Only downside was the circling of a few flies obviously due to open windows and doors. A tad jarring but aside from that a nice experience.
For a Tuesday it was quite lively, however when we arrived the staff could have been a bit more inviting. The restaurant itself is nice and prices are reasonable. The food portions were a good size and tasty.
First meal al fresco of 2023 for us and it did not disappoint! Excellent food and the crab pasta was perfect. Service left a little to be desired, though.
I have been coming to this place for years. It has always been a great spot to have a lovely meal with a great atmosphere. 😊👌🏾
Best king prawns I’ve ever tried! This nduja butter sauce is something exceptional! Friendly and fast service , Al fresco beautifuly arranged,
Definitely coming back !
Went here for our Valentine's day meal and had a good, but not amazing, time. The biggest downside was that we were often forgotten by the serving staff so tables that were seated after us were served before us, and the staff weren't particularly friendly. I understand that it was probably a busy night but we do appreciate a smile. The starters (we had arancini and gamberoni) were lovely and my boyfriend's pizza was great. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara, which is one of my favourite pasta dishes when done well, but it was bland. The egg had begun to scramble and the guanciale was cut into the tiniest strips which didn't give the dish enough salt. The pasta was all stuck together too.
That said, the restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere and the prices are reasonable. Might come again but I'll be ordering a different main.
Best pesto pasta in London! also always a reliable neighbourhood spot for a good weekend lunch or a quick dinner. Service is always good and there are lots of menu options including pizza, pasta and salads. Very affordable as well (the pizzas are cheaper and far better than Pizza Express)
Great meal in a buzzy Saturday night atmosphere. Restaurant had a mixed clientele. Service was friendly and very quick, we lingered over our meal but if you wanted to be in and out quickly they could cater to this
Fantastic food!
We started with spritz and a few starters and all was very tasty, especially the cheese and the muscles.
I must admit that I was disappointed by the size of my main but the taste of the crab dish was mind blowing and it was the perfect portion. Some crab shells left over so that wasn't very good though.
We had tiramissu which was very light and tasty.
Wine was great and liquors were nice too even if there was some miss match by the waiter.
A great place to go to with friends, it's a pleasure for the eyes and it's delicious. Will definitely go back.
Rocca is a family favourite, I'd highly recommend the pizza & if you're a dessert/coffee person you should definitely try the Affogato - it is delicious! Wouldn't be a visit to Rocca Di Papa without getting this (no matter how full you might be). Great location, atmosphere & friendly customer service
Delicious Italian food. Loved my risotto main and stuffed pepper starter.
Dessert was slightly misleading as the chocolate cake was actually a chocolate gateau, which i am not a fan of.
Service was excellent.
The restaurant does get a tad noisy indoors when busy. Would recommend sitting outside on a warm summer’s day.
Great restaurant, fantastic quality of food and excellent customer service. Accommodated all of my requests for me and my partner when celebrating our engagement.
There’s lots of places that offer good food, but often service isn’t up to scratch. Rocca excelled with both - highly recommended.
