“We went to Daniele Sicilian for our Golden Wedding anniversary. We took 20 friends and family and had an amazing time. The food was excellent everyone enjoyed it, there were no complaints other than there more than enough. The staff could not have been more helpful, they were attentive but discreet. We will certainly be visiting again. Thank you all so much for making our special day sogood”

“This Italian restaurant was packed even on a regular weekday — and after tasting the food, I completely understand why. Everything we ordered was expertly prepared and full of flavor. Highly recommended.”

“Very tasty grilled food. Nice view of river Thames. The tea is great as well.”

“I took my wife for her birthday here, and I must say, it was a memorable experience. The food they served was exceptional, with a diverse menu that catered to a wide range of preferences. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. The staff was attentive and courteous, making us feel truly special. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. It's safe to say that this place left a lasting impression on me, and I'm sure to return in the future.”

“Valle D’Oro is a wonderful family run independent Italian Restaurant in Newbury town centre, it’s food and drink selection is very good, so many options for steaks, the service was fast and friendly and you could tell the staff really care about their customers and the venue itself is cosy and well decorated. I had the steak in peppercorn sauce, I think if I ordered again I’d go for rare instead of medium rare. The fillet steak itself was incredible, it’s in my top five all time steaks, and it one of my go to items on menus so I’ve had lots in the past. The peppercorn sauce was also excellent, very thick and incredibly peppery, creamy goodness. The portion sizes are massive, so be careful not to over order, the vegetable selection looked amazing but we had no room left to try it. This is a great local business, it’s been located in Newbury since the 1080’s and you can see why it’s been so successful and long lived, it’s just brilliant, most highly recommend”

“Excellent Quality Food and Outstanding Service I had a truly wonderful experience and can confidently say that both the food quality and service were exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who were polite, attentive, and genuinely eager to make the experience enjoyable. The food was outstanding—fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavour. Every dish was clearly made using high-quality ingredients, and the presentation was impressive. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the balance of flavours showed real care and skill in the cooking. You can tell that attention to detail is a priority here. What really stood out was the consistency. Everything arrived on time, hot, and exactly as described. Any special requests were handled professionally and without hesitation, which made the experience even better. The service deserves special praise. Staff were knowledgeable, patient, and always available without being intrusive. They checked in at the right moments and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. This level of customer care really sets the place apart. The overall atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal—whether dining in with family, friends, or visiting for a casual meal. Overall, this is a place that delivers on quality, service, and value. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and a pleasant dining experience. I will definitely be returning and recommending it to others”

“Absolutely amazing place and people! Every single staff member is so lovely and kind they always have the customer in mind. My other half has collected a couple of takeaways before hand but today I saw the restaurant they have - it’s beautiful! The food is second to none. I genuinely have never tasted Indian food like it in the UK! Will be a regular customer from now on.”

“We ordered from you guys for delivery tonight. It arrived 10 mins earlier than predicted and was genuinely delicious. My partner and I agreed that it's probably the best pizza we've ever had! And comparatively cheap! An awesome cheat day, thanks!!!”

“The dark eel roll was a perfect balance of flavours and the lotus root had a satisfying crunch. The Oolong tea was weak for my preference but still worth it. Service was fast and efficient!”

“Came here on my lunch break, ordered the large box because I thought the small and medium looked too small however my eyes mislead me the large was very hard to finish and more than enough! Very delicious food, waiting time wasn’t bad either and a lovely restaurant. Will definitely come again and I recommend”

“Lovely staff! Happy to take us as a walk in even when we arrived late at night, food so so tasty especially the chicken and vine leaves. Thank you!”

“Great Mexican with nice decor and super friendly and attentive staff. The cocktails are amazing. Big and strong, like they should be and the same with the starters. Large portions. The mains were equally big and full of flavour. Would definitely be coming back for more.”

“Absolutely wonderful find tucked away near Maidenhead but definitely worth a visit; if you are looking for a standard curry house, there are other good places; if you want a gastronomic experience not to be forgotten, visit this place. The ambiance lovely, the Michelin style presentation was stunning and each and every dish was delicious; coming from someone with Indian parents with very high food standards, we really loved visiting and look forward to going back with friends!”

“Excellent Italian restaurant. Fabulous food and exceptional service.”

“Lovely atmosphere delicious food and kind staff. Honestly, it’s amazing. Would come again!”

“I came here with my friend for her birthday with her little girl as well. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is amazing especially the desserts. The restaurant area is small so I imagine booking would be a good idea at busier times.”

“I had an amazing experience at Bella Napoli. The service was outstanding, and the food was the best I've eaten in Abingdon.”

“I had an amazing experience at SKVP Reading. The food was absolutely outstanding — full of flavour, fresh, and truly authentic Indian street food. The service was excellent as well. A special mention to Mandeep Kaur, who attended me with so much humility and kindness. She was very polite, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended! Will definitely visit again.”

“Really enjoyed my burger the other day. Great having the choice on how you want it cooked and really loved the onion rings. Staff were great too. Can’t remember his name but the tall older manager was great and really knew the menu and made a great recommendation.”

“Takeaway Burrito. Really impressed. The burrito was a great size with loads of filling options. I went for chicken with coriander rice; pico and sweetcorn salsa with some spicy sauce and it was spot on. Fresh, tasty and properly filling. Fair price too at around £8.50. Will definitely be back.”

“Visited Buensado for a family dinner and were thoroughly impressed. The food was excellent, with perfectly cooked steaks and great attention to detail. The spiral-cut rib-eye stood out as a highlight. A special thank you to our host, Radwane, who looked after us wonderfully. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.”

“A gem of a place! Beautiful, little cosy restaurant with lovely food and lovely staff. We ordered Nepalese Chicken curry, Fulka Rotis, Chilli Momos and Saag Palak. The food was yum. Everything was very fresh and tasted authentic. We also tried their Gurkha Beer, which was surprisingly smooth and light. The chilli momos could have been a bit more spicy though, but still good. The staff were very warm and welcoming. We had a delightful experience. Definitely recommend.”

“Best food in town would definitely recommend eating, very great price worth the visit, amazing customer service new in town!!!”

“Soooo happy I found this place today. I was missing Kerala food and this hit the spot. We had the masala dosa, the masala Vada and gobi Manchurian with tea and fresh juice. Yummy fermented goodness. My soul is happy.”

“My husband and me went to celebrate his birthday. Food was lovely and good portions. I really like the character of the place. All waitresses were friendly. I have asked them to write on my husband dessert "Happy birthday " and they did it with an extra unexpected birthday singing. They were lovely! We absolutely satisfied with everything. Thank you very much!”

“This meal was a gift from my husband. We booked an early table on a Sunday evening so the restuarant was fairly quiet. It's a lovely setting, right on the river and is nicely decorated. The service was very good and our food was delicious. My arranchini starter was one of the best I've had. We have already decided to return and try the tasting menu next time.”

“Really good food. Calamari was nice and crispy rather than rubbery or slimy and came with plenty of sauce. Burger and chips were faultless - caramelised onions always take it to another level for me. The meringue dessert was also just right. Would have liked a few more non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks options but not a deal-breaker by far. Came to £37 which included 2 drinks, starter, main and dessert.”

“Marta served us after a completely unsuccessful trip to slug and lettuce. It was the best few hours spent, no need to order drinks, she brought them over before we even considered our next order. Don't hesitate if considering”

“Amazing eating experience! I was on my own and was made to feel like I’d been here 20x before. Friendly and welcoming and the mixed grill s was mouth watering good! Might be back tomorrow for round two! Kaustubh served me and he was excellent!!”
