Sarah, our waitress, was great as usual. We remembered her from our last visit. Still smiling, still with the 'nothing is too much trouble ' vibe. A delicious meal, and all round lovely pre- show dinner experience. Thanks again.

Great evening meal - the food was really nice and reasonably priced. The restaurant is open space layout and was quite noisy, but not too bad, it didn't spoil our evening.

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.

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!
