Rossodisera is an Italian restaurant at 5 Monmouth Street in Covent Garden, where it has shared the cooking of Le Marche with London diners since 2007. The intimate room carries a direct connection to the region, including bricks and wooden benches brought from the founder’s family farmhouse.
The menu follows the rural traditions of this central Italian territory through carefully sourced ingredients and straightforward preparations. Fresh bread with extra virgin olive oil, hand sliced prosciutto, ciauscolo and capocollo introduce the flavours of Marchigiano farms and producers.
Handmade pasta provides a central course, with sauces that reflect both the hills and Adriatic coast of Le Marche. Antipasti can also include bruschetta, bresaola, galantina and fishermen’s mussels, while vegan and gluten free choices give diners useful flexibility.
Wine is sourced directly from regional producers, with Verdicchio and Rosso Piceno among the bottles that best express the area. Set menus and arrangements for larger parties complement the à la carte service, making Rossodisera suitable for a relaxed meal as well as an occasion built around a fuller exploration of Marchigiano food.
Address: 5 Monmouth Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9DA, England
