Restaurant · Reading
Tables are spaced out well here, so a pram isn't an obstacle course, and buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted. It's an Italian at heart — the pizzas get the most love, with a properly cooked dough people say they looked forward to eating the crust of, and desserts like tiramisu and cream-filled pastry rolls that are worth saving room for. Staff are friendly and attentive, and there's a weekday lunch deal if you're watching the budget. Vegan options are on the menu too. Two honest notes: food can take a while at busy lunch and dinner stretches, and on packed evenings the turnaround can feel brisk — plates cleared quickly, pudding orders chased. Come mid-afternoon and it's calmer. Larger family groups are accommodated happily; one family visiting from Wales says the team remembers them every time.
