“Hands down THE BEST pizza in Aldershot. Doesn’t taste like some cheap takeaway pizza that you can get anywhere. It feels almost as if it’s homemade. The restaurant itself is very nice. You may not notice it but there is an area with some tables if you go down the corridor. You can definitely see how passionate the owners were when making this place and well… the food. I also reccomend the spaghetti carbonara”

“We had a wonderful experience at Zizzi Marlow. Steve was fantastic — extremely polite, friendly, and always available when we needed him. He was very patient with our kids and gave us plenty of time to decide on our order. Everything we ate was delicious, arrived quickly, and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommended!”

“We are very lucky to get a table for three on Friday night without prior reservation. We are very impressed by the foods we ordered, everything is so delicious! I particularly love the seafood and chicken paella we ordered, the meat is generous, good amount for three people to share, so tasty!Also, the service is fairly attentive and quick, every staff is wearing a smile on their face. I haven’t enjoyed dining in a restaurant so much as today. Highly recommended!”

“If you like remote and dog friendly, this is ideal. Google maps took us down some country lanes and over a single way bridge, on the map the pub shows pretty much on an island surrounded by country parks & lakes. The location is nice. Car park has about 30 spaces & I think 2 electric car chargers. The pub was pretty quiet when we arrived and the locals/staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The pub itself has a lovely interior. To the food, we had the vegan burger, bacon and cheese burger and the childs fish goujons. All very nice and well portioned. For dessert we had the rhubarb crumble with vanilla and vegan ice cream, finished off the meal perfectly.”

“I’ve been visiting Piwnica for years, and the food is always outstanding. Every dish is full of authentic Polish flavour, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. It’s consistently a wonderful dining experience!”

“Istanbul Grill is truly a gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality that immediately makes you feel at home. The atmosphere is inviting and beautifully reflects the rich Turkish culture, making it the perfect place for both casual meals and special occasions. The food is absolutely outstanding – every meal is prepared with care and packed with authentic flavors. The meats are tender and perfectly seasoned, the fresh bread is irresistible, and the mezze plates are full of variety and taste. Each bite feels like a journey through Turkey. What really sets Istanbul Grill apart is not only the quality of the food, but also the exceptional service. The staff go above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect, creating a dining experience that is both memorable and enjoyable. If you’re looking for authentic Turkish cuisine, warm hospitality, and an unforgettable experience, Istanbul Grill is the place to go. Highly recommended!”

“Took my favourite summer rolls as a starter, they were fantastic. Rich taste of peanut sauce perfectly combined with mild taste of the prawns. Delicious! As a main I had steak pho, it was yummy. I was really happy with generous amount of well done steak. Noodles were cooked perfectly, they were not overdone and melted in my mouth. I would also like to mention Margherita, who was really friendly and helpful, she even helped me to charge my phone. Great service! Thank you guys.”

“Hey! This place is nicely & warmly welcoming. The food is cooked right (beef) and portions are quite large balancing the price. The staff is polite and wouldn’t rush you, altogether in a family atmosphere. Large car park, large beer garden in the back along with some tables out in the front, large tables, large and clean toilets - so overall all quite ‘largely’ impressed. Give it a try!”

“Popped in as it was recommended to us and we were greeted by 2 lovely members of staff, chose our table by the fire and ordered drinks and small plates. Everything came quickly, my cocktail was yummy, hubby was won over because his come came in a bottle. Our food was absolutely gorgeous and being by the fire watching the world go by was just perfect”

“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”

“I'd like to say this place is dreadful and tell everyone to stay away, but only so that we can book to come back soon. In reality, this is one of those places that stay with you. A week after eating here and every day there's been a moment where I catch myself daydreaming about the meal we had. The meal, the atmosphere, the service. 10/10. Incidentally the £ range I selected included drinks.”

“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.”

“We had an amazing dinner at La Casa! The atmosphere is calm, cosy, and intimate - perfect for a relaxed evening out. Although it's a small restaurant, it feels very welcoming and personal. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly, and our waitress was absolutely brilliant - friendly, attentive and professional, all while remaining discreet and non-intrusive. Every course was delicious. The calamari was perfectly cooked, the pesto and mozzarella bread was packed with flavour, and the crème brûlée was a standout. You can tell everything is made with care. We'll definitely be returning! A real gem.”

“I had the tofu bibimbap and it was incredibly delicious. Super satisfying and a great mix of textured and flavours. Friendly service and a nice vibe too. Will definitely be back!”

“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 ;)”

“What can I say.. the food was so delicious and the service was amazing...will definitely be back again...if you haven't been there yet, your missing out.....❤️”

“The food here is so good. The portion is generous. The service is the best and the atmosphere is good. Would highly recommend this restaurant”

“I went with my kids for the Sunday buffet, the great thing is its all freshly made, rather than sitting there, a small selection of food but more than enough for any person. The staff are attentive and amazing, friendly, the food tastes soooooooooooooo good, I am currently writing this just before I step into a food coma on my sofa! Loved it, would recommend 5*”

“Whole experience was perfect, food was amazing very flavourful, staff were very attentive and polite, beautiful restaurant. Highly recommend 10/10!”

“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!”

“Wow what a place absolutely amazing food. Top notch best Indian I have had for years service is fantastic freindly happy staff.”

“The beef shin potatoes was one of a kind a really special dish. The duck egg chorizo was right there with it. Best breakfast in reading hands down!”

“A small family run restaurant felt tucked away. A bit hard to find but it was such an amazing experience. Extremely friendly staff and food was outstanding. It's a shame we were just visiting Reading and that we don't live there!”

“Had such a great time at LaFontana!! This is my first time visiting England from the US, and I was amazed by the food and service that I went to get the same meal two days in a row. The menu is exceptional, you can literally get anything you want, they got burger, pizza, steak, and even seafood! I’d go there every day if I could!”

“It has parking close by .The chicken chow mein and garlic naan are really good , the butter chicken is also delicious ! The staff is so nice, will come back again.”

“A favourite pub for the Morris Dancing community. Great setting, beautiful old "real pub" with a fine range of real ales. The staff are lovely and the regulars, of which there are several, very welcoming. Given its popularity, on street parking can be challenging but well worth the effort.”

“We had such a lovely experience evening. The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavour and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. We really appreciated the great service and the cosy atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be coming back again. Thanks Faye”
