A warm welcome at

Your place on Durham Road

Some meals are just a meal. Others linger long after the plates are cleared.

At Rosa Twelve, we're in the business of the latter. Whether you're after a lazy Sunday lunch with the family, a birthday dinner on the first floor, an intimate gathering in The Lugano, or simply an excellent coffee and somewhere to take the weight off your feet – this is your place.

Rosa Twelve stands on the site of the legendary Italia, and before that the 1961 Lugano coffee bar – two places that shaped Low Fell. We're still here, warmer and bigger, and just as committed to a good time. Read our story.

More than a restaurant

Rosa Twelve is a multi-level hospitality venue: three distinct but connected experiences under one roof. Coffee and cocktails on the ground floor, Mediterranean dining on the first, and intimate events below in The Lugano.

Ground Floor

The Welcome Lounge Café & Wine Bar

A destination in its own right, not just an entrance.

A relaxed café and wine bar with a well-stocked bespoke bar and a sun-trap patio spilling onto Durham Road. Come for speciality coffee and a slice of cake, linger over a glass of wine or a cocktail, or settle in for an informal meeting. You are welcome for drinks without dining, and it is the easiest step-free way into the venue.

  • Speciality coffee, cake & light bites all day
  • Wines, cocktails & casual drinks
  • Drinks without dining welcome
  • Sunny patio on Durham Road
  • Easiest step-free access into the venue
