Who visited for my daughter's 12th birthday party for big group of her friends. From the moment we were alive, we were greeted by the store manager and were looked after very well by the manager and Rhys. We were able to bring our own cake which they surprised my daughter with carrying out from the kitchen.

Very disappointed in the food. Very watery carbonara, more like pasta in soup. I always order carbonara when I go to an Italian restaurant but it is never normally watery. It was like they didn't drain the spaghetti. I sent it back and got it remade and it was still quite watery. Also, my friend ordered the calzone and the onions in it were still muddy as if they had not been washed. Additionally, lots of screaming kids and the lights were way too bright that it ruins the atmosphere. The server was alright.

Carbonara fue la peor que he probado, completamente insípida con poca salsa, solo grasa. Los cerdos en mantas eran negros. El servicio era pobre, ignorado por una camarera cuando pidió la cuenta y el gerente en su teléfono escondido debajo del mostrador cuando subimos a pagar. Los baños también estaban sucios. Lo único bueno fue la pizza. No podía combinar bebidas sin fondo y menú fijo tampoco tan extremadamente caro para la comida de baja calidad.

I would have given 5* on the food but my dish was slightly salty but apart from that the food was delicious and the cocktails were great! Definitely will be returning! Thankyou

Trabajo en una escuela y llevé a 70 estudiantes adolescentes a Bella Italia Reading en 12 / 12. El equipo no podría haber sido más útil! No es fácil alimentar a un grupo de 70, pero hicieron un trabajo tremendo para alimentarnos (una comida de 2 platos) de manera muy eficiente. Nada fue demasiado molesto y en general, su profesionalidad aseguró que todos tuvimos una noche fabulosa. La comida era excelente también!

We ordered 16 drinks to celebrate recent sucess at the GP surgery. Unfortunately many drinks came half full. They were not marked what they are so one member of staff was left without drink to keep her safe due to severe nut allergy. One drink tasted of pure water. Big dissapointment and we managment have let our staff down massively with poor quality drinks. We also called the cafe and they were not willing to accomodate a drink that was out of the stock. Again another member of staff left without a drink. Avoid!!
