Rocca di Papa - London

This used to be one of our favourite places to eat having visited many times. I don’t know if there has been a change of management but the staff appear to have changed. Most of them unfriendly and bordering on rude. One blonde girl was terrible, never smiled or made eye contact once. I watched her interactions with others and it was the same with everyone. As much personality as a plank of wood ! We felt rushed through the meal with the desert menu arriving the minute the plates were removed , we were asked 5 times in the space of a few minutes if we wanted a dessert and seemed very put out that we wanted some time before ordering. Needless to say they won’t be getting our custom again !

We stopped for an impromptu lunch and found a lovely table for two outside. Quick, polite service. Prosecco and House Red were both excellent My wife ordered Tagliolini b w with white crab meat, chilli, garlic with wine saffron sauce and I had Tortelloni with lobster, prawn, courgettes served with butter, sage caper sauce Both were delicious

Evening of 8th Sept. The wine ordered was not as described on menu it was a completely different wine. After discussion with the water, no offer to replace or change. Evening of 11th Sept. an unordered chicken salad arrived at the table. Asked for it to be removed. Main pasta salmon had minimal tiny pieces of salmon and no lemon of any kind in the dish. As it was a birthday celebration the bill was paid unchecked. Next day realised we had been also charged for the unordered chicken salad not a good experience and therefore cannot recommend Rocca to anyone.

Text: We stopped by Rocca with our dog and found a lovely table outside Lovely welcome and service throughout the meal Nice house red and Prosecco by the glass My chicken salad was delicious although I did have to pick out some yucky lettuce leafs. The pickled beetroot was lovely The salmon and peas with ribbon pasta was a nice dish Panecotta with raspberry jam was ok

Just dined at this restaurant for the first time and it definitely won't be the last. The food was great, the service was good, and the atmosphere was pleasant. It is also child friendly.
