I love Zizzi's but this visit was disappointing. Extremely slow service, even just waiting for drinks. Food average and menu items not available. The acoustics are loud and its hard to hear people talk when it's busy. Staff very polite and friendly they just seemed overworked.

We met a friend here for a meal on a mid week evening. Service was ok, nothing special, just ok. The same went for the bar staff, just ok. The food was good with plenty of flavour and for what we had it wasnât expensive. The main problem is the staff need to try harder. It might have been that it was a quiet night. Would go back again if passing. Hi Oakwoodfencing, thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback on your visit. I am disappointed to see that you may not have enjoyed your visit to the standards that we would want - Please reach out to us on [email protected] with any feedback so we can address any factor that has negatively contributed to your visit.

We took my son here for his 21st birthday as the reviews were generally good. We managed to find street parking nearby but parking is a problem and beware of parking in TGI Fridays as you may get fined. The staff were very pleasant and very attentive maybe as it wasnât very busy. We had the platters to start which were both delicious. Everyone was happy with their mains which were plentiful and packed with flavour. The biggest disappointment was an Italian restaurant that doesnât have Tiramisu on the menu. The desserts we did have were slightly disappointing but didnât detract from what was a great evening. Very reasonably priced with good discounts if you look online.

Offering a vibrant, nutritious selection of historic Sardinian recipes and modern Italian dishes, Pepe Sale is an award-winning eatery in the centre of Reading. As well as premium staples like home-made fresh pasta and typical bread and wines, delicious h

An unplanned overnight in Reading and found Pepe Sale as I was staying at the nearby Penta hotel. The food was brilliant: Italian, heavily influenced by Sardinian dishes and ingredients and served by friendly, Sardinians. Justifiably highly-rated on Trip Advisor for Reading.

Homely Italian restaurant with fresh homemade food, only a few minutes of walk from the centre of Reading! Whether it is a romantic evening for two, a casual family and friends "get together" or a business dinner, you will always find something for you in
Reviewed By simon l
As the 6th highest rated we thought it would be decent. No qualms with the service, top notch. The wine was fine although it was the second most inferior type, grapes went even listed on the bottle. The calamari was good but expensive. The pizzas are well presented. Even 1.5cm crust and even 1cm tomato puree border. However, they were expensive and pretty tasteless and we didn't fancy eating them. We were offered chili oil but that's masking them. We hoped the place would be great, however we'll skip our anniversary and further thoughts on returning. Wife prefers Papa Gs among others.(I used to have 400,000 TripAdvisor followers, however with gdpr the number is no longer listed)

Booked in advance on a Saturday evening, we were squeezed into a place where the waiters struggled to get by us.We were upstairs and there was a noisy table, and because of the acoustics, we could hardly hear our conversation.The food was average to poor (seabass very thin and not good), and when part of the desert was missing (no giant chocolate shavings on the chocolate brownie), it was very much a take it or leave it approach from the waiter. The second drink that I ordered never appeared, but they still tried to charge for it.An experience not to be repeated.

Having been in May and we were back in Reading, we felt another visit would be nice and we were not disappointed, the bustling vibrant atmosphere is fantastic and the staff all extremely helpful, the wife enjoyed a huge grilled goats cheese served on rocket with sun dried tomatoes, I enjoyed the Frito misto , although more than 2 prawns would have been nice, Wife enjoyed a big bowl of pasta with pea, aubergine and sauce sauce for main, which was good, I stayed seafood and went for risotto, I felt the seafood selection could have been slightly better, some shell on clams would have been nice and maybe a few more prawns, and I did not get a seafood flavour through the rice, enjoyed it but could have been a bit tastier. We washed this down with 4 large Peroni at £6.75 each, perhaps a little steep for a bistro, but overall a good experience and would certainly revisit.
