Rossa brings the neighbourhood together with casual Italian 

Nestled in the suburb of Bedfordview, in the eastern part of Johannesburg, the leafy streets, fashionable homes, and excellent schools, saw the beginning of a quaint addition to the neighbourhood. Opening its doors in 2009, Rossa, now an award-winning restaurant, aimed to do one thing and one thing only—provide customers with an authentic Italian dining experience. Driven by passion and a sense of tradition, the restaurant became a hotspot in Bedfordview, where every dish was a story of home. With many past diners posting praises from phenomenal cuisine to the tranquil setting each diner is eager to return. Savour the heart of Italy in Johannesburg at Rossa.    

Indulge in an authentic Italian dining experience at Rossa  

With an extensive and authentic menu showcasing classic Italian cuisine, Rossa has warmed diner’s stomachs and hearts for sixteen years.  

A classic Italian menu is guaranteed to include a variety of pizzas. At the restaurant, pizzas can be prepared on a gluten-free or banting base, topped with several options that send taste buds into overdrive. Vegetarian options include the classic margherita and customer favourite Orto. Meat lovers will love the regina, New York, and carne pizzas. Seafood options include the salmone and romana. And while all these options sound delicious, nothing beats the restaurant’s Grande pizza, a twenty-four-slice square pizza perfect for pizza fanatics.   

Pasta is also a classic on the menu. Served in a variety of shapes like spaghetti, fusilli, rigatoni, penne, or tagliatelle and either whole-wheat or gluten-free. Dishes such as carbonara, chicken alfredo, and Bolognese remain beloved choices. However, the menu doesn’t stop at pizza and pasta. Dine on risottos, ravioli, baked pasta, light salads, and mains such as calamari, and tagliata, antipasti delights and piadinas. Ending the night out with dessert is a must for all diners. Indulge in a traditional, creamy tiramisu, a refreshing panna cotta, and affogato al caffe.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
