Bella Luna in West Berkshire

Food was hood had to wait in car park for more than t mins

We went there the day before it closed the small restaurant it was amazing, we went when it opened the new bigger restaurant it was amazing, we went last night and it was average at best, my wife was told off by the waiter for putting a plate on the menu as the menu was expensive and could be damaged, the starters were awful, bread and Olives is so easy for an Italian restaurant to nail it tasted like someone had nipped over to the coop for some bread and basamic the Calamari was so rubbery if you can't buy fresh dont serve it, spaghetti was alright, very dissapointing probably won't be back.

Beautiful restaurant, very stunning . Food was amazing and so was the service. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning.

I cannot remember the last time I was this impressed with a first visit to a restaurant! The linguine lobster was absolutely incredible and so beautifully prepared. I will be back!!

It's hard to talk, the acoustics are really bad

We went there for dinner with family. Great atmosphere , very clean restaurant , delicious food. It deserves 5 stars. We will go back soon definitely .

Hands down best Italian about. Food is amazing and service is even better. Make you feel very welcome and great interaction with the kids.

We were staying near by for my wifes birthday stumbled upon this Gem 100% recommend, I don't even know whats the best here service, food, atmosphere just amazing, they made my wife's birthday fantastic singing happy birthday balloon on the table.

My partner and I have visited Bella Luna regularly over the past year and the food, service and atmosphere is always perfect. The staff are really friendly, welcoming and polite. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

Friendly welcome. Good selection on menu and specials. Food ordered was delivered quickly, of very high quality and good portions. Very happy. Had been once before and it's been excellent. Looking forward to going again.

Bella Luna is a wonderful little spot in the heart of Thatcham, the service and food are absolutely wonderful - I would HIGHLY recommend their pistachio croissant, it's always an absolute winner!

Always love a trip to Bella Luna!

Visited with a couple of friends and the food was excellent, my freind couldn't decide so asked the waitress for recommendations and she was very informative about the dishes. (The creme brulee was to die for). My only pet hate is adding service charge to the bill, not everyone is confident in asking for it to be removed. You should be allowed to leave a tip yourself which I always do.

Food and service excellent, been dozens of times, never had a bad one.

Came here with my 11 year old son and to be onist the staff was staring so much making us feel rushed and uncomfortable being over charged and ask for a potion of brocoli 2 peices at 4 odd pounds and a basket of bread which consist more olives that we did not like just said a basket of bread tried charging 7.95 as we was watched while I was looking at bill the manager straight there he did sort it out but if the food was really good I would give another go spaghetti bolonaise a little watery and small potions

We had dinner at Bella Luna. We had a fantastic evening and meal. The food was really nice and great choice on the menu. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be back again!!!

Restaurant was spotless food good staff very polite. Was not rushed. Would certainly return for another meal.

This restaurant is our family & friend favourite! The food is always wonderful, such great choice & quality. The team working here are amazing, nothing is too much trouble & they are always so helpful. Five star recommendation from us!

I've eaten in NY and Italy and honestly this restraunt and its staff has to be the best I have had the opportunity to eat at in England. Hands down the best restraunt and food around

Disappointing. Loud, bordering on roudy. No atmosphere or decor. Slow service, petulant service. Forgot part of our order and blamed us! Poor presentation and small portions of food that do not represent good value. Seems that they have over-stretched themselves moving to new premises and book in more tables than they can cope with.

We often frequent Bella Luna as a family and it never disappoints. Pizza, pasta and other mains are all excellent so it’s quite hard to choose. Great service and great food!

My dining experience at Bella Luna Thatcham was simply excellent. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who ensured every detail was perfect. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. Overall, Bella Luna Thatcham exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal.

Ordered Polo Milanese and my partner another chicken dish. Both were stated to come with vegetables and roast potatoes. Chicken was fine but between us we were served not one a potato and and less than one carrot and some calabrese. We complained and were brought out about half a potato between us! Were brought the dessert menu and when my other half went to order were told they had no desserts due to a freezer problem! Complete joke! Had we gone to the Szechwan just a few doors would have got a better meal, which is where we’ll go next time. Don’t waste your time with this place.

Bella Luna was always great food but rather small premises. They have now moved nextdoor and the restaurant is twice the size and they have a nice cocktail bar. The service, atmosphere and food was all excellent.

We have been coming here for the last 5 years and never had a bad meal or experience. The Fillet steaks are the best in Berkshire.

Great food ! More veg required!!! Atmosphere great Reccomend ..... Toilets need more attention but sure its a on-going thing only open 2 months onwards and howard cheers

This was a cracking choice for our son’s birthday. It was midweek so the newly reopened restaurant was not busy but the service seemed relaxed bordering on slow. The menu was extensive giving plenty of scope. All the dishes were well presented and proved to be good value.

Bravo Bella Luna! Food delicioso and atmosphere great and decor of the new revamped restaurant (next door from the original site and extended). I look forward to the café (on the site of the original restaurant) opening soon. Hard work paying off!

We came on a busy Saturday night but the waiting staff were so attentive and our food came so quickly! We went for dessert, some were all sold out (the place was packed) but the manager serving us let us know in advance so we could pick from what they had - we had a lovely creme brûlée and a generously sized tiramisu. We had a great dinner, will be coming again.

Outstanding staff, great atmosphere - best restaurant in Thatcham by far! 7 of us went out to eat last night and we were looked after by outstanding staff, who went out of their way to ensure our evening went smoothly. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Just love this restaurant. Staff and food are great. Always a lovely atmosphere. The evenings with live music and even a bit of kareoke are fab. This type of restaurant if just what Thatcham needed! If you haven’t been yet get yourselves booked!

Great food and even better new restaurant space. As good as previous location just bigger.

This is my favourite restaurant. New Year’s Eve was fantastic. Food excellent. Service superb. Atmosphere fabulous. Staff wonderful. 12 out of 10

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic food, excellent service. 100% recommend. Love the new bigger restaurant. Best wishes to the Bella Luna team.

We had a meal in the new and larger restaruant. We had another excellent meal. The food was amazing and beautifully prepared. The service was extremely good and we will always happily return for more excellent Italian dishes.

This was our first visit to Bella Luna. We managed to park opposite the restaurant, which was a bonus. We had booked a table, and were seated in a corner, which for me, being Autistic was essential. The restaurant was a good 95% full, so the waiting staff were extremely busy. Overall, the service was not bad. The young lady serving us seemed a little overwhelmed and almost came across as being aggressive at times. I ordered the garlic bread, which was slightly burnt and unfortunately did not taste of garlic. My main course was Pene al Forno, a favourite of mine. Unfortunately, again the dish came out and the top was quite black and very dry, so I can only assume it had been left in the oven too long. Whilst I would usually send a dish back, I put it down to how busy the restaurant was, and decided that I would come back again and give this restaurant a second chance so to speak. My dessert was the lemon sorbet, which was absolutely refreshing and very delicious.

Such a lovely restaurant and food was delicious. Staff were great too. We were a very big party and had a wonderful evening. Thank you

Just the best restaurant in town, staff excellent, food fab and great vibe

Visited for the first time tonight with my parents and family from the US. What an incredible experience, authentic cuisine and amazing service. Staff were simply great and owner obviously takes an interest in the customer experience

very rude staff...they abuse me when i was calling to make a booking....shame on you guys you have to learn manners

Just great Italian food, good service and decor. Loved the white tablecloths and napkins. A mix of casual and smart

Really lovely place with friendly staff and good atmosphere. Portions are large, the pizza was delicious and so fresh - not at all greasy. Roast potatoes excellent and we had a mini shot of Limoncello when we paid the bill. Saturday night they had a live singer who was great, lots of old time hits and not too loud

Lovely meal,great service and very friendly, would definitely go again xx

This is the second time I’ve been to Bella Luna and it certainly won’t be the last. There isn’t a restaurant locally that gives you that feeling like you’re on holiday like Bella Luna. The venue, food and service is so authentic and fantastic, it really does deserve ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can’t wait to come back!!

100% the best Italian in the area. Whether eating in or taking away the food is always amazing! Eating in atmosphere and experience is also very authentic! Would always recommend!

Really lovely restaurant and the staff are always very welcoming

Good food but lacking ambience.

Never disappoints. Amazing food as always. Loved, loved this seabass special. Lovely atmosphere, great food & drinks. Fabulously friendly welcome. Xxx

Absolutely lovely food. Came for my birthday lunch and the food was delicious, the whole family loved it. Definitely recommend and will be going again.

Always great food & friendly staff.

No vegan mains except at weekend. Shame :-( excellent olives, salad and chips though.

Such a great night, as always ... food was fantastic and the service excellent! Very busy but you are made to feel as important as everyone else. Can't wait to go back

Can’t believe we’ve never been to this restaurant before it’s amazing. Beautiful independent restaurant food and staff outstanding .Highly recommend .

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

Fantastic food in family run restaurant! Highly recommend! We had a number of different dishes and everything was perfect. Also friendly and welcoming service. We will be back 100%. Thank you to the Bella Luna Team 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Food was great all really tasty. However the evening was a little let down by the welcome by the lady on shift. As we walked in no hello or smile from the lady working on Wednesday 5th April with blonde hair. She didn't smile the whole evening and was very blunt with any communication she made with us. She looked miserable and quite frankly like she didn't want to be there I think she needs to work on her customer service. Everyone else was lovely and very friendly ☺️ thanks

An absolute pleasure to visit. Lovely food and great service, attentive without being overwhelming or making one feel rushed.

Excellent evening, food was superb!

My family came to Bella Luna for lunch on Sunday and all were impressed with the fantastic quality of their meals. Sauces were authentic and every main was excellently prepared and good service.

Food Excellent service very good was very noisy was busy will go in the week next time

Bustling and warm, the Bella Luna is rightly highly popular. No matter how quickly the place fills up, and it does, the speed merchants in the kitchen and the hard working floor team seem to pour out the food without delay and it is food worth having, with the menu showing a large number of pasta/pizza choices with just that extra tweak to add interest. Well done all. Be sure to book.

60th birthday surprise from hubby With my son and partner This restaurant is well worth a visit Food excellent Hot My son did struggle with lobster as he thought meat would be folded with pasta ...instead of laying across pasta May be a suggestion Service was excellent Food served quick Restaurant sang happy birthday Lovely touches thank you x

A delightful little restaurant. Small and welcoming. Top chefs and friendly staff. We ate like God!!! 😋

It was busy on the Friday night we came to Bella Luna, but they found us a table which we could have for 1 hour 45 min before it had to be vacated. That was plenty of time for us to enjoy a delicious fish dish and a pasta. The tiramisu topped it up nicely. Staff were effective and friendly, and the prices were acceptable although not particularly cheap. Especially a glass of house red wine for £7.50 felt a bit excessive. Nevertheless, not a bad Friday night out.

Food was delicious but tiramasu was disappointing... very dry

Lovely restaurant, very popular and busy, food is delicious

We were greeted to a very warm welcome December 22nd , twelve of us sat down to a very delicious meal and nothing was too much trouble for the staff, the special sea bass was amazing !

A great pre-Christmas meal with family. Staff and food were fantastic.

Ten of us dined on incredible food with attentive waiters and waitresses bringing our requests smoothly. They served marvellous Italian dishes hot and perfect. Remarkable memorable night with my colleagues!

Always busy, so glad we booked, excellent staff and service. Pasta dishes and grilled meats are cooked to perfection and taste insane. In other words just a majestic place to dine.

Brilliant meal out at Bella Luna last night. Absolutely love this restaurant. Best crème brûlée I’ve ever had. Always a good time and the staff are always fantastic. Thank you for always making the experience enjoyable.

Great local Italian. Wine and food excellent

Best restaurant in Thatcham without a doubt, and our favorite Italian anywhere. Menu is good, daily specials are excellent and we are always made to feel welcome. Best value for money without a doubt.

Just great. Nothing else to say apart from thanks.

Food was delicious, all staff friendly. We didn’t have to wait long. Definitely will come back in the future!

Unfortunately we had the worst pasta ever. We have read all the online reviews on the website and definitely decided to go for it , people had such an amazing experience great food reviews. So we ordered for delivery lasagne, carbonara and linguine al scolio. I’m so sorry I cannot post the picture of the lasagne( not only it doesn’t taste good nothing to do with a lasagne dish , it looks really bad ), but literally if you buy the M&S ready pasta for oven or microwave you get a better taste and food experience, carbonara was made with ham ( not even close with pancetta ), zero taste of Parmesan cheese, probably because was no Parmesan cheese left in the kitchen, It shouldn’t be any difference between dine in and delivery, really disappointed and huge discrepancy on the website reviews and what you actually get.

This restaurant always appears busy, has excellent reputation locally. We booked in advance and could only secure an early table. We received a warm welcome, attentive service and the food was excellent. The best Calzone I’ve ever eaten and tiramisu was superb. Absolutely loved this...

Lovely food once again. Stall attentive but not intrusive

My husband took me there for anniversary. Lovely place. The food was delicious, the wine was very nice and the staff very friendly. Will definitely come back

Amazing! Just the best italian restaurant in the UK! (by the way I am italian i know what i am talking about)

Fantastic food! Top service! A great atmosphere! A fab evening was had by all! Highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you.

Absolutely amazing! Super quick service (however not rushed) top quality food and extremely reasonable! Will be visiting more regularly!

Everything you’d want from a very decent, well regarded restaurant. Outstanding food, a wonderful friendly atmosphere with brilliant service. Always a pleasure to visit - the best about. Would highly recommend to anyone, at any age. Matt

We are regular visitors with family, friends & football teams. Pauli and his team are always very attentive, menu has a great selection and everything we have ordered has always be fantastic. If we want to go out for a meal Bella Luna is always...

Lovely little place with really nice pasta and wine. Will visit again for sure

As always a pleasure. Excellent food, service & atmosphere.

This was the most AMAZING Italian experience I have ever had. My husband and I went for my birthday this evening and I wish I could rate this a 10 star. The staff are friendly, professional and so polite. Food was exceptional. Beyond my highest expectation. I had the best birthday dinner thanks to you. Thank you! I highly recommend this restaurant. Don’t even bother looking elsewhere. This is the place to be.

Fantastic!!! Service was outstanding and the food was incredible. I will definitely be coming back

Been here three times now and the food and service has been constant. Not five stars because it can get incredibly hot in there. Not too sure that the air-conditioning is working but they do open all windows and sometimes the door. Reasonable price too and the food is exceptional. Will be regular customers I think. Not used the loos so can't comment on them.

A wonderful culinary experience! The food and wines were amazing and there were so many compliments from everyone. The food was fresh, delicious, and presented beautifully. The staff were very professional, friendly, and organised. The stress of the day was completely removed due to the...

Ended up dining here after our other booking fell through - what a result! It was lovely, food was amazing service was excellent. New favourite place to eat!

Fabulous meal, efficient and welcoming, happy staff. Service spot on. Highly recommend!

The restaurant looked after us without fault, our food was bought out in a timely manner using our name as we had pre ordered which helped us loads and was delicous, the general service was without fault and our family had a great evening without...

Lovely food, great service, good value for money

what a great place. Food atmosphere and the staff.......... Fabulous. We were at Bella Luna recently and the food was just lovely. The atmosphere and staff just the same........grrreat. looking forward to the next time

Gorgeous food and brilliant service.

My wife and I visited Bella Luna, Thatcham on Friday evening (22.04.22) and we had a brilliant night. The service from all staff was first class, lots of options for food which was all lovely. Kieran was providing the entertainment with a great night of...

Takeaway-tastic! Power cut meant we had an extended run of takeaways. Feeling apathetic about it all, Bella Luna had alot to live up to and absolutely smashed it out of the park. It really was like they'd put extra love into the preperation of the dishes knowing it was takeout. Even the presentation was to the standard acceptable if I were sitting in the restaurant. Thanks team, you made our night!

As usual fantastic food, super service and fabulous ambiance. Can never get enough of this great restaurant. 15 of us celebrating my birthday 4th year running. May there be many more.
