Great flavour and service 😊 we got the valentine's menu and overpassed our expectations. Best arancini we have ever had. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. We definitely would go back.

Poor service. Disinterested, as if staff are doing you a favour. You have the strain to beckon staff for anything. Wasn’t even busy.

Sadly on the day we visited it was not a calm and relaxing experience with members of staff arguing and a fight between customers breaking out outside the front of the restaurant. We have always enjoyed the Reading Restaurant as it’s away from the highstreet and other chain restaurants but sadly we have noticed standards slipping.
