Bella Italia Reading Oracle in Reading

As far as restaurants go, this place had its pros and cons.The service was great, despite us having to ask twice for a few things (not something that matters hugely). The man serving us was very polite and welcoming.The main meals were excellent quality and very nice! The starters (mostly the bruschetta) was not great at all. It was literally slightly toasted bread with halved tomatoes placed on top. The garlic bread had no complaints.The food was a bit pricey, but we had checked the menu before hand so knew what to expect.

⭕️ It's the second time I choose to dine in this restaurant and I can say that I would do it whenever I want to really eat something very tasty, delicious and well cooked ... in a super nice environment and with very kind stuff!

Absolutely disappointed. I ordered pizza and ice cream, and the pizza was cooler than the ice cream. With the time the delivery was done, there is no way that a pizza can come in that frozen state… it doesn’t even look nice. I had to put it on the oven myself, but quite hopeless …. It wasn’t a nice pizza… don’t order there

Myself & my mum popped in for a break during a busy day of shopping, what a lovely welcome we had; from the gentleman that showed us to the table, to the very friendly waitress we had serving us. I would recommend purely for the great service but also the tasty food.

Delicious food and beverages. Various seating areas and does get busy so I suggest booking. Service was fast and good, cane twice now and I would come again

Had a lovely visit with my nieces the other day before we went to the cinema. I didn’t catch the name of the lady that served us but she was great. The food was perfect and the fussy eaters left happy. Kids meal deal is excellent value and size.

Angelica the manager took good care of us. My mum’s initial order didn’t live up to the usual standards, therefore the manager made sure that we left happy by proving us an additional dish on the house - which matched the standards!

Had family meal . Part payment in Tesco vouchers. But still seemed a lot of money for quality and service received. Ordered Hummus to start , fair amount of hummus but one piece of very small bit of bread to eat with it , pretty pointless

The ox cheek ragù had very little meat and the mushroom pasta was quite dry. However, the service more than made up for that! Our waiter was a delight. With 2 for 1 tastecard discount, the food was worth it.

I don’t recommend it at all, I went today to Bella Italia for the first time, and the last. Just to start the restaurant furniture has dirty and very bad looking seats, the plates are dirty with rest of food( this is from the dishwasher), so it would not be so hard for the person in charge to pay attention and make sure the plates they put out are clean and ready to use. The staff is the only good thing in the whole restaurant. The service is awful, very slowly, we arrived there at 17:10, to bring us the food took (we ordered some regular pasta, not a steak or anything that require more time or anything) I understand it was a Saturday and it’s busy, but they brought 2 plates of pasta at 18:10 - exactly one hour since we ordered the food- the table seating next to us that came later than us got the food earlier. Also, the amount of food is too ridiculous for the price they ask, this plate had 7 tortellini in total, and the spaghetti were with no flavour, just the Parmesan cheese, and then they charge the service charge without giving the option to choose whether if I want to leave tip or not, I am sorry, but this service and the rest does not deserve to have any tip. I am very unhappy, I will never go again.
