Roccella

Best Known For

Honey-glazed roast lamb shoulder, with broccolini and wholegrain mustard.

Inspired by traditional Southern Italian cuisine and recipes passed down through generations, head to Roccella on Clarendon Street in East Melbourne for a warm welcome and meal to remember. Come hungry and leave smiling at this authentic dining destination, where leather banquette seating along with intimate tables, monochromatic artwork and statement pendent lighting create an inviting vibe. Stop in for a breaky plate of avo smash with eggs your way, a tomato medley, goats’ curd, rocket, basil, EVOO and ciabatta sourdough; while a later crowd opts to share Nonna’s meatballs to start, in cherry tomato sugo, served on creamy polenta. Say grazie to pasta plates of rigatoni with slow-cooked pork and beef ragu and pecorino, or pick up a slice of smoked salmon pizza on an avocado cream base.
