Rossopomodoro Covent Garden is a Neapolitan restaurant at 50–52 Monmouth Street in London’s West End. Leicester Square and Covent Garden stations are both nearby, and outdoor seating gives diners another option in the middle of the Seven Dials shopping and theatre district.
The restaurant takes Naples as its reference point, using traditional recipes and ingredients associated with southern Italy. Tomatoes are especially important to the identity of the kitchen, supported by produce from established Italian suppliers and selected local sources.
Neapolitan pizza is the main attraction, accompanied by pasta, starters, sides and familiar Italian desserts. The menu is designed to offer a broader taste of Naples rather than treating pizza as an isolated dish, so groups can build a meal from several courses or shared choices.
The lively, informal setting suits lunch, dinner, pre theatre dining and casual group visits, with delivery also available. Some dishes can be prepared with gluten free ingredients, but the restaurant is not gluten free and warns that cross contamination can occur. Guests with any allergy should tell staff before ordering.
Address: 50–52 Monmouth Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9EP, England
