Italian restaurant in Reading

“Had a fantastic experience at Cozze Italian Restaurant in Woodley! From the moment we walked in, Carla and Marco were exceptional hosts, treating our girls with such warmth and kindness—it truly made the evening special. The pizza was absolutely delicious, with that perfect balance of crispy crust and rich toppings. But the real standout? The profiteroles dessert—an absolute must-try! Every dish felt authentic, bringing a real taste of Italy to our table. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with great music that added to the experience. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch Italian dining experience. Thank you x”

“Really lovely and fast service we had on our visit today. Sonia and Sarah were very friendly and helpful especially when I accidentally spilt my drink on my Food. Would recommend Thanks for having us”

“Zizzi Bracknell offers a delightful Italian-inspired dining experience. The prawn skewers with pasta are a standout—succulent prawns grilled to perfection, paired with al dente pasta in a light, flavorful sauce. The salmon with pasta is equally impressive, tender and well-seasoned, complementing the creamy base beautifully. Their garlic bread is divine: crisp on the outside, soft inside, and generously infused with garlic and herbs. Mocktails are refreshingly vibrant, with creative blends that elevate the meal. The ambiance is relaxed yet stylish, and service is warm and attentive. Ideal for a casual dinner with flair and satisfying, well-balanced dishes.”

“Sam was exerlant. He really knew his trade and couldnt be more helpfull We are not regulars, but this will now change. The food was great, well above what you would expect from a chain. I really enjoyed my stay, as did my family”

“My partner have really enjoyed our visits to Lusso over the last few years. The sour dough pizza is delicious - in particular we've always enjoyed the goats cheese, pesto and onion chutney one. Highly recommended if you haven't tried already.”

“My daughter wanted to celebrate winning her PhD at Mama Mia, as she had her O levels, A levels and degree, and they didn't let us down. Beautiful atmosphere, and awesome food really made the event special. Be aware of the lemon conssome if you're having the mussels though, it's a little bland ;)”

“We went on Friday evening as a family of 4 for my birthday celebration, and the whole evening was superb. From the mussels as a starter, the main courses and terrific desserts, the food and wine really were outstanding. The team there made us feel welcome, and to a person were friendly and attentive. The evening was made even better since So Sinatra by Frank Cognoscenti was there, as he is every month, and he was simply terrific - superb vocals, very funny and he really set a wonderful tone to the evening. So if you're going to this restaurant, then do check out when So Sinatra is there - he's an absolutely class act!”

“Excellent food, attentive service and great ambience. Despite arriving a little early for our booking we were seated straight away. The service was attentive but not intrusive, and we loved the atmosphere in the restaurant. The calamari was the best I've ever had, my creamy pasta dish was delicious and the pannacotta was perfect, perfected by the rhubarb compote which complemented the sweetness of the rest of the dish. Good value too. We will definitely return.”

“A surprise dinner booked by hubby. The restaurant is cosy with proper tablecloths. The mirrors on the walls make it look bigger but it was lovely. Staff are friendly, menu was quite extensive in choice and they still had specials available. Choices were beef carpaccio- veal - cauliflower cheese - minestrone soup and lam in mushroom and red wine sauce , potato’s and mixed veg…. It all tasted really good - we will be back”

“Came across these guys by chance and loved everything about this place SO much, that I cancelled our reservation we had elsewhere the following evening, and we brought our friends here instead!! The service and the food is incredible! If we’re back in Henley again anytime soon we 100% will come back here and will be HIGHLY recommending to anyone visiting, to experience this wonderful eatery!! Absolutely fantastic guys, thank you for giving my tastebuds the best authentic Italian meal they’ve ever had!! STUNNING!”

“Amazing Italian restaurant!! Me and my daughter went there for a meal off chance. Even it was quite late the chef was happy to cook for us a meal that was not on a menu! Our meal was fresh and full of flavour! The staff were friendly and made us welcome from the moment we arrived! Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or just a delicious plate of pasta, this place delivers. I can’t wait to come back – it truly felt like a little slice of Italy!”

“Excellent seafood pasta, almost felt like the best I’ve ever had.”

“Best food 'takeout' I have personally tried. True authentic Italian food - decided to try the menu items (only had the 10/10 Pizza previously) and it didn't disappoint. Absolutely great meal and good value. These guys need a full restaurant with seating! Glass of vino and a three course meal with them would be great.”

“A little bit of Italy in Marlow! I have been a customer of Satollo for many years....most definitely the best coffee in Marlow, Henley - everywhere in fact! The cafe interior is rustic and has a fabulous vibe and the outdoor seating in Summer or Autumn with the canopy and heaters make for a cosy place to sit. The cafe may be small, however, the food they serve is plentiful and delicious from Pesto Bruschetta (my favourite) Parmigiana, cheese/meat boards served beautifully and often can not be finished so you go home with a box! and another favourite, Grigliato sandwich or salad....yum! The staff are very polite and friendly and the new Manageress, Karolina is quick, efficient and able to "read" the room resulting in the service she and her staff give to be first class. It says it all when the young students come back to work there year after year! They remember your name and your coffee choice (which I love) and even ask after my elderly mother who visits now and again. The fresh homemade cakes and pastries are amazing....chocolate croissant being my grandchildren's favourite and the lemon cannoli is a must! Whether it is lunch/coffee with friends or a peaceful half hour on your own sipping a lovely cup of coffee or glass of wine, I would definitely recommend a visit to Satollo. Enjoy!”

“My wife and I feel like we’ve grown up with Heaven’s Kitchen. They now have a few branches but this is the original location. It opened just after we moved to the area. As we were refurbishing our house at the time and had a long time without a kitchen, we had to eat out lot during that time. So, we got to know the staff well In those early days, the weakness was consistency as they seemed to go through quite a few chefs. Still, we loved the bruschetta and mushroom risotto, which sadly aren’t on the menu any more Yesterday, we came back after not coming for awhile. Service was a bit slow but very friendly - there were just 2 staff working flat out. The food was really tasty. Bone marrow, seafood linguine and ribeye steak were all wolfed down Great to see HK flourishing”

“The staff are mostly all Italian so you know it's at least ticked the authenticity box. Food was good, staff are friendly, dessert gets brought over on a little cart. Farnborough is the true home from home for Italian cuisine, I've always said that.”

“Two of the party of three haven't been here for many years. Can confirm it's still a great family run restaurant (since 1989) greeted by the owner, made to feel welcome and shown to our table. Service was wonderful, its still a lively restaurant with a great atmosphere. Our food was perfect. I am sure we will not leave it so long next time.”

“Toni Server extremely attentive and caring. Assuring all allergy needs are met, warm and inviting. Lovely foods 10/10 service a great asset to the staff. Fab festive menu and good value.”

“Lovely place. Went for a birthday meal. Staff were excellent as usual. Portion sizes are huge but very tasty. Chilli Oil was super hot but amazing!”

“It's great to see the menu has improved over the last three years! The addition of dishes like Shrimp Saganaki is a welcome change – the waiters weren't even familiar with it back then. The Greek Sangria could be a bit stronger, but overall a good experience.”

“This is the first class restaurant that me to come back every time even when they are very busy you get first class service we are coming back soon again”

“Food was lovely, service was a little slow and meal came out wrong but staff was friendly and correct food given tasted lovely. Desert was also nice. an expensive place but good food.”

“Lovely decorè great service from owner and lady. Looked after the whole service. Food and wine was lovely and authentic service. Thank you. We love hand artwork you have done.”

“Been a regular for more than 3 years! Consistently great pizzas with great variety of toppings and styles. The service and the food were both excellent! Staff members are always friendly, prices are reasonable and the spot is always kept clean. My all time favorite is of course the Spicy Sea Food and Creamy Garlic Chicken pizza. They definitely deserve an award for their overall service! Highly recommended!!!”

“Great location & welcoming staff. Loved the quirky interior”

“Recommended by a friend so thought I'd give it a try as a little pit stop to my journey. Lovely staff and was a delight to see the kitchen in the back making the food and having true care to what they're doing. Pizza was true to the name with an amazingly crisp base and a dough that was so flavoursome! I just went for a simple Margherita as that should shine how good an establishments pizza is; it didn't disappoint. Tangy dough from its fermentation, beautifully sweet but salted tomato base with creamy cheese. It didn't make the journey home and I was eating slices at the wheel!”

“First time back in around 15 years, life's just past by. Last minute decision to eat out and so glad we need, host was lovely and food amazing, friendly place will not leave so long next time. It was like walking into an old friends home for dinner ❤️”

“This restaurant really makes me feel warm and welcomed! They prepared a birthday cake and played thoughtful music, creating a special and cozy birthday atmosphere. Every little detail shows care and personal touch—it truly feels like home. I’ll definitely be coming back ^”

“Had a fantastic evening here for my wife's birthday. Attentive service, just the right amount of time between courses and food to die for. My only complaint was I over ate but that was down to a menu with such a fantastic selection I ordered too much and it was so good it would have been criminal not to finish it all. i highly recommend La Galleria for any occasion.”

“Lovely restaurant that was open on a Sunday evening for dinner. We had three courses and every single one of them was amazing. Great food and lovely atmosphere”
