La Famiglia Rossi
Villa Italiana began as a dream shared by Nonna Maria Rossi, who arrived in London from Sicily in 1987 with nothing but her family recipes and an unwavering passion for authentic Italian cuisine.
What started as a small trattoria in Covent Garden has blossomed into one of London's most beloved Italian restaurants. Three generations of the Rossi family have worked tirelessly to preserve the authentic flavors of Italy while embracing the multicultural spirit of London.
Today, under the guidance of Chef Giuseppe Rossi (Nonna Maria's grandson), Villa Italiana continues to honor traditional Italian cooking methods while incorporating the finest local British ingredients. Every dish tells a story of heritage, passion, and the timeless art of Italian hospitality.
