Rosina is an Italian-inspired restaurant in Wandsworth, run by acclaimed chef Adam Byatt.
Michelin-starred chef Adam Byatt is a name synonymous with the South London dining scene, having steered the ship at Clapham’s award-winning Trinity for over two decades. With the opening of Rosina, Byatt turns his attention to Wandsworth, bringing a refined yet approachable Italian-inspired concept to the heart of the village, just moments from the Common. It’s a significant move for the chef; while his career has largely been defined by the rigours of French and British haute cuisine, Rosina represents a more personal chapter. Named after his daughter, Rosie, the restaurant is a professional extension of the food he has long cooked at home for his family, marking his first official foray into the flavours of the Mediterranean.
The menu at Rosina is a love letter to Italian regionality, balancing the best of the UK’s seasonal larder with premium Italian imports. Diners can expect Byatt’s signature lightness of touch and characteristic elegance applied to classic recipes, resulting in produce-driven plates that celebrate simplicity.
To complement the food, a curated wine list features labels from across Italy’s diverse viticultural landscape.
The restaurant itself is thoughtfully designed to be a versatile community hub, seating 50 guests in a bright main dining room with an additional 25 on the terrace for alfresco lunches. A standalone bar provides a spot for aperitivos.
Staffed by a loyal team drawn from Byatt’s existing restaurants, Rosina delivers a sophisticated, neighbourhood service and style, seven days a week. Byatt’s goal is simple: to ensure guests leave feeling better than when they arrived, achieved through a ‘thousand small things’ that define his hospitality.
