Antica Roma Restaurant is located within walking distance of Rochford town’s centre. This Grade II Listed Building is believed to date from the 17^th century, but most of the features visible today date from the 18^th and 19^th centuries.  For most of the existence, from its origins right up to the 21^st Century, the building was an inn, known as the Old Ship.  In keeping with the Old Ship’s tradition of serving the public, our authentic Italian food and drinks are the perfect compliment.

With the freshest ingredients we’ll whisk you away to Italy without even leaving the heart of Rochford.  Our A La Carte menu encompasses some of the best loved Italian signature dishes cooked by our team of experienced chefs.
If this isn’t enough why not try our Set Menu or visit us every Sunday for a Traditional Roast dinner with all the trimmings.  Our meals can be equally complimented by a wide selection of Italian wines and beverages.
