Prezzo - Reading in Reading

Really nice food great staff quick service can not fault this place me and my partner really enjoyed our first time here great place beer expensive and not much choice 7 pound for a small bottle is to much nice drink tho

Visited with three friends with a 7.30pm booking mid week . Was the worst food and service I’ve ever experienced. I was still eating my starter when when the main arrived. Felt completely rushed. The main pizza was tiny! Definitely not worth £17. We were brought the dessert menus as soon as we finished the mains and said we wanted a little time to think. We all wanted coffee or an affogato, none were available as the coffee machine had been switched off and cleaned. This was about 8.45pm. When we said we wish we were told this when we were given menus the waitress replied ‘well I didn’t know you’d take so long to order! . The chef was actually running out the door at 9pm. Really disappointed and would not return

I got an online voucher for Prezzo for my birthday. We had a 3-course meal. The menu was very short, it wasn't a full menu for everyone, but you could choose something good😋. We chose meatballs in tomato sauce, breaded mozzarella, pinsa and pasta with chicken and mushrooms and from the children's menu spaghetti bolognese, garlic bread. The desserts and coffee were also delicious. Very nice service and friendly staff. I can recommend it 👌

Good food and excellent service... I ate some excellent carbonara and an exquisite garlic bread with caramelized onion... all delicious Congratulations 💪💪💪

Giving only 2 stars today (in restaurant now) because waitress rushed to take away the food plate from my table when I was finishing it. I had to have my last bite of starters without dip. Why prezzo why !!!!

We visited Prezzo in Reading after receiving a 50% off voucher. The restaurant is in the centre of Reading. The menu is extensive and items are shown with calories. Think carefully about ordering beers. The bottles are small but the prices aren't. The staff were excellent and we weren't charged service charge for two people dining.

Went with my sister and a friend, we all really enjoyed our lunch experience. The staff were so friendly and very efficient. The food was excellent and we will 100% be back.

Delicious. I tried the ravioli with cheese. It was amazing. The service was excellent and the lasagna was amazing. 👍👍👍 I highly recommend it.

Dit Italiaanse restaurant ligt midden in het centrum van Reading. De menukaart bood verschillende mogelijkheden, zowel met als zonder vlees. Het eten smaakte uitstekend (ik had Canelloni met spinazie) en was mooi op temperatuur. De bediening was vriendelijk en attent. Een aanrader

Went early evening - lovely waiting staff. Able to adjust the menu to suit individual taste (mushrooms instead of tomato etc). Tasted great

Good atmosphere and a very enjoyable pizza.

Lovely food and range of choices. Great location, too, and was great eating place for us, before our concert

Lovely, cozy place, with lovely staff and great vibe! The young lady who served us (blonde/black, short hair, and was working on the 21st of May 2024) was one of the kindest and sweetest waitress I've ever met in my life! Thank you for this wonderful experience :) Something to quote about the food: Both the dish with the sausages and the tuna pizza were tasty, ALTHOUGH they were a bit salty 😬 Please look at it. :)

Went for lunch today with my daughter and 3 grandchildren. Wow a disaster from the start , order was taken, we waited over an hour for our meals for one not to arrive, we waited and was told another 2 mins it would be , we waited and waited it finally arrived, we began eating, the food was bland needed seasoning at the least, well I got seasoning alright a lovely piece of plastic I found myself chewing on . I could not believe it as I spat it out in my napkin, we were not charged for the late meal or mine but that was the least , they could do.I Will never be returning and would never recommend to anyone ever . It was ment to be a special time spent with my family after completing my cancer treatment. Thanks

We had lunch there at noon. Very polite staff, always with a smile Had a burger and a salad The food was really nice The garlic bread served with the salad was amazing, so i guess the pizza dough is as nice as this!

A nice place to eat if in reading. Discount cards taken we used taste card. Staff friendly nice restaurant

Might be ok if you could book a table without it being cancelled two minutes late, doesn't matter if you speak to the restaurant to confirm

Dropped in for an impromptu lunch and was very surprised. Great service and the food was fab. My wife had the carbonara which was excellent and I had the crab and lobster ravioli, again superb. I have taken to cleaning the plate as a homage to good food, a bit with the excellent garlic bread and my finger. Simply too good not to leave any. Reasonably priced, my wife had a glass of red and I had a pint of Italian lager, all very nice. Prezzo is great value and considering it is a chain, it maintains a good level of food and service. Do yourself a favour, drop in for an impromptu lunch, it is worth it.

The restaurant itself was very nice. The staff are excellent. The food was great. Unfortunately the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. Not clean at all. Wee all over the floor and no toilet paper. The smell from the bathroom you can smell before you even open the door. I was so shocked. It made me feel very unsettled as to what the kitchen was like. I have worked in restaurant all my life. I know how busy they get,but that doesn't mean you can lapse on hygiene

We had a great time at Prezzo for a belated 21st birthday celebration for my brother. The whole front of house team came to sing happy birthday to him, which he hated - thank you! The food was amazing and the service was equally as great! We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you all.

This is a lovely restaurant in the heart of reading. we had a warm welcome and shown to our table. It was slightly cool as the window I was sat beside was only single glazed. There's a nice choice on the menu with lots of options for vegetarians. The service was really quick and our food was absolutely delicious. We also had dessert, which was just as nice.

Very friendly staff, nice ambiance and good food.

We were lucky to get a table as we had not pre booked but being early for lunch helped as the restaurant soon filled up. Staff were efficient and friendly throughout. Note that it is card only at payment. Food came fairly quickly but I would have liked mine to be hotter. I had the salmon pasta which was very tasty and reasonably price. The side salad is big enough for two people. Overall very satisfied.

Love the ambiance.. delicious food. Perfect way to celebrate our anniversary 🥳

Prezzo is like a flavor adventure of Italian food ,so tasty! The service is friendly .The place has a cool vibe, making it perfect for a fun meal. If you want a real taste of Italy and a great time, Prezzo is the place to be in reading.

Had a wonderful time here. Food was amazing and warm. Price wasn’t too bad at all. Service was impeccable and thank you so much to Sofia for that. Highly recommend!!

Food poisoning after a dinner there. Issue was mentioned to the restaurant, manager emailed me back a few times asking for endless information about the food poisoning. This info was apparently needed to sort out the issue, after nearly a month nothing was done, just requesting more and more information. Food was ok. Service ok.

Very lovely meal! We were served by Briony and she was brilliant!

A void at all cost terrible food tasteless. Main came out after a few minutes. No sign of our olives. Did tell waiter all we go was sorry about that. Never again

Loved the baileys coffee Lovely service by Briony

Checked out Prezzo recently. 🍕 Honestly, felt kinda meh. Pizza was just average, table wasn't set, got stuck in a lame corner despite the reservation. Service and food were very average, but the prices felt a bit much. 😕

Food came cold and pizza was squash to one side. Looks like the box with pizza has been travelling in incorrect position.

My recent dining experience at this restaurant on a Friday was notably subpar. The most glaring issue was the excessive waiting time. We endured a wait of over an hour for our food, which was exacerbated by a miscommunication with the waiter. He mistakenly waited for us to finish our starter before placing our order for the main course, resulting in an additional 50-minute wait for simple pasta dishes. The quality of the food was equally disappointing. The presentation and garnishing were lackluster, and the flavors were uninspiring. More concerning was the quality of the pizza served to my daughter, which seemed to be made with old dough and resulted in a severe stomach ache for her. In fact, all of us experienced mild to moderate digestive issues following the meal. Additionally, the restaurant's ambiance did not compensate for these shortcomings. The tables and furniture were noticeably old and worn, contributing to an atmosphere more akin to a school cafeteria than a dining establishment. This, combined with the overall poor dining experience, made the high prices seem particularly unreasonable. Given these factors, I have no intention of returning to this restaurant and am left with an overall sense of disappointment.

We go to Prezzo fairly regularly, thanks to my Taste Card deal, but yesterday‘s experience was extensional! The food was delicious and Nicholas who looked after us was very good….. professional, efficient and friendly.

Food really tasty, staff friendly and efficient

Our family went there for dinner on a Saturday night but surprisingly there was only one table occupied. We ordered the crab chilli pasta but it was tasteless and had a bitter taste. The tre carni was ok but the side dish veggie was dried. The rissoto was also no taste. The only thing good was the berry cider. We ate in and out in 30-45 min like eating fast food. The waitress put down the dishes and left for chatting with her peers. Not recommend for an evening dinner.

Service is good. Food was Sainsbury's or Tesco's ready meals level. Ordered pasta, I was surprised that it came so fast in about 6 minutes. I realised that it was just warm, not hot. I can definitely say it was heated in the microwave or something. They serve pasta that was precooked and just reheat it and charge you 15 pounds for that.

Been going here for years but absolutely awful!the starters were ok but I had chicken with garlic butter a stewed up wedge of cabbage and a fancy named potato dish which was a jacket potato absolutely tasteless told the waitress but was not interested and gave me garlic butter but couldn’t eat it and refused to pay for it , it was empty in there and we still waited and waited they came with our mains and hadn’t cleared up our starters didn’t ask if we wanted more drinks !! Sadly gone down hill

5 of us today, excellent service, good food, great value for money in Reading town centre . Certainly best of all the “ Chain restaurants “ Will definitely return

Pizza would have been really nice if it didn’t arrive cold and a bit nasty. Same with the fries, not sure they were done cooking before they were put in the container to become soggy and actually inedible!!! Also, I can’t quite believe the fact I just paid £4,50 for about 12 soggy chips. Bit of a joke..

Ate here 3 times in 6 days. Food is great and especially big shout out to George for being mega helpful service staff! Total legend!

The person looking after us was very friendly and efficient, it's a pity the food did not live up to much. It was cold , dry, gutless and not as described on the menu. We had the saltambuco. I've never seen a roast potato dished up as a jacket spud.Never again.

Awful food, tasted like reheated frozen meals, sauce watery, chicken rubbery and not cooked through in one place, bland . Cream tasted like milk and so runny. Waitress claiming it was just runny single cream. Expensive meal, not cooked from fresh chilled products in my opinion. Never eating at a Prezzo again. Very disappointed. All the food we had for main needs was very disappointing and tasteless.

Food was on time Service was excellent.

We ate there on Saturday 18th Nov. Avoid the Calzone - the dough was raw and in places uncooked. The replacement was edible but only just - very poor My partners Sea Bass was little better - mainly crispy fish skin Overall very disappointed - will stick with Bills in the future

Sub standard food and service on a Saturday evening. Had to even ask for cutlery. Calzone had raw dough so returned it and didn't get it back until 3 other meals had been finished. Sea bass was tiny and too crispy. Salad was 2 halved cherry tomatoes, 4 slices of cucumber and a bowl of lettuce... Not what you expect for £5. Salmon penne had almost no salmon. Had to ask for water and glasses (always used to get them automatically). Staff were stressed and said they'd had a bad day. Didn't have time for desert which we may have had as it all took so long. We would rather have gone to Macdonald's than pay £120 for 4 very I adequate meals. I would not recommend here.

The beer is great, the food is fine, up to my expectation. But there is a serious flaw in this restaurants. Our dinner is ruined by a poor service from a waiter/manger who dress differently. He simply presented a bill to us by surprise. I thought that we took too long there, but it was only an hour meal. Perhaps this table was reserved to someone, although we also reserved. However, It would be nice to ask if we want a bill before he present it. I have no idea why he did that, but that’s the nicest reason I come up with. So, not an ideal choice of place if you want to stay a little while after meal. Btw, make sure you book the table. We have been asked by the same people whether we made a booking when we were sitting down. I don’t understand what was going on, it sounds like we are an intruder who were pretending? I don’t want to take it personally, but I wasn’t feeling that we were welcome to this restaurant.

Horrible service, terrible attention, tables very close together, a lot of noise, not recommended

Prezzo is an amazing place if you want to try something Italian They do amazing pizza's, pasta, burgers, calzones and desserts They have a vast menu for vegetarian, vegan and gluten free They do not do any vegetarian or vegan burgers Good options of wine, cocktails and beers. The desserts are amazing and i will totally recommend the chocolate cake Do register for their updates, as you may get good discounts (like one free prosecco bottle or 2 dessert

We had a good night out at Prezzo in Reading. I ordered garlic bread and the ravioli with crab and lobster, both of which were delicious. My friends enjoyed their pizzas as well. The service was perfect, and we left with satisfied taste buds and smiles on our faces. As it is a chain it cannot reach top notch quality, and there are more authentic italian restaurant in Reading.

Hara has been exceptional from start to finish. She was absolutely amazing and made me and my friend feel at home immediately as we stepped in. The food was very good and the service has been extremely speedy. We loved our experience. Thank you so much, Hara! We will be back for sure

Very poor customer service, had a foccacia that wasn't even toasted. When I said it wasn't toasted waitress said they haven't got a pannini toaster.

The food was presented well, delicious and good amount for the price. The chicken, bacon and avocado salad is tasty. Bryony was very kind and helpful.

Their new menu is really good. Service is always very friendly and accommodating!

It was the best meal we have eaten at an Italian restaurant so far. We are very delighted with the taste of the dishes and the atmosphere. The waitress Oliwia was very nice and helpful.

Ordered the crab and lobster ravioli and lemon meringue desert It was perfect Yummy Only thing with this place is I think the price was a little high Even with discount

Excellent food for a reasonable price. Plenty of choice for pasta. I highly recommend Spinach Creste di Gallo. We found a table outside the hustle and bustle by the window. That was very atmospheric, but there are also many places without atmosphere.

Classic choice for a nice Italian dinner in Reading town centre. Food is always nice - a few new choices. Great service and very friendly staff. You can't go wrong with Prezzo!

From Italian person ...very good!!!

the fried mozzarella was amazing

The food was lovely with lots of gluten free options. The serving staff were lovely however the manager on shift questioned why I was bringing someone into the disabled toilet to help, inappropriate as I shouldn't need to explain my embarrassing toilet needs to a stranger. The disabled toilet itself was relatively clean however the emergency chord was hidden behind the toilet. Tilly served us well and made sure to accommodate my dietary requirements, it's a shame the manager wasn't so disability sensitive.

Hara was very attentive and friendly ♥️

Friendly staff, careful about allergies, nice and bright ambience, and great food and coffee including gluten-free pasta.

Staff were very accommodating and pleasant. Waiter had great recommendations. Food was delicious. Drinks were good but on the small side, not much drink for the price.

Saturday night and still the waiters and waitress being brilliant. Food quality exceptional and the service.

I'm new in Reading for a short visit and was just walking around for some place to have dinner. After discarding the ones in the nearby mall (The Oracle) found this italian place in beautiful street. The food was great and service so very nice. Truth is that I didn't choose the most italian dish (sea bass with vegetables), but i bet I made a good choice. And reasonable prices too. Had no wine do can't tell about those. Maybe next time. I'll repeat in future visits

Terrible vegan food. vegan chicken came frozen and once cooked was horrible. Also never gave us water despite several requests on a not at all busy night. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Very bad service the food took way too long they served everyone and left us because we were coloured horrible people

Nice dinner apart from waiting for the waitress for a good 10 minutes to take our payment while she chatted with the table next to us even after saying she would be over shortly. It felt a bit rude.

1. Poor customer Service, Poorly trained unattentive staff (Sayjal) Took an eternity to get some tap water before the meal ( on a very hot summers day) Food, burnt Bruschetta,(you need a steak knife to cut it) food nothing special, bearly any salmon in the dish i paid £15 for, seriously some pasta and a sauce, with some flakes of salmon. Very bad value for money. A nice environment, but the customer service was very bad. It says a lot about the poor standards of this prezzo. I eat at lots of resturants and this is one to avoid! In fact this has damaged my confidence in the Brand of Prezzo.

The service was very nice and I wish I could say the same about the food. Unfortunately, the 4 mains were more than disappointing except the desserts (tiramisu).

Service was quick and efficient. Food was tasty and hot. Lovely meal.

Wish they bring back the sea bass with gnocchi the sea bass with roasted tomatoes not as good. My wife had it on our previous visit and when she tried to cut the tomato she got squinted by its juice. Today I had a lovely chicken pasta dish 👍

The worst service and the food was absolutely patetic ,probably if you go qt McDonald you will eat better

View friendly staff. Good food. Very clean. Great service even when busy.

Lovely restraunt and hard working staff on a busy saturday evening who still managed excellent service with smiles. With the best carbonara I've ever had and garlic bread cooked to perfection. This team work hard and it shows! Couldn't be happier!

Unfortunately, the worst pizza I’ve ever had, I ordered vegetarian chicken and I pepper and the topping chicken was as hard as a rock and was burnt! However, the waitress who served us was very welcoming and helpful. But I cannot recommend this place to anybody at all!

Had the pumpkin and feta ravioli which I found quite bland needed more seasoning especially black pepper, more sauce needed could benefit from pine nuts in the mushroom sauce.

Visited last Good Friday for lunch. Very nice and polite service with a smile by Oliwia. Food's pretty good, considering it's a chain restaurant. Good selection of wines to go with the food.

Good food and drinks including wine spirits and cocktails

I recently visited this restaurant and ordered the Alfredo Tagliatelle and Margherita Pizza, and I have to say, it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The food was absolutely delicious - I give it a perfect 10/10 for taste and overall quality. The service was equally impressive. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and professional. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and was very knowledgeable about the menu. I give the service a perfect 10/10 as well. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food and service were both exceptional, and I can't wait to come back again. Thank you to the waitress and the rest of the staff for making our experience so enjoyable. Keep up the great work!

Great seating with good views re: people watching in the lively busy busling part of the City centre - with lots going on in the gig economy outside. Staff are very pleasant and professional. Good prices with quality food.

Pleasant time with friends at prezzo. We went there for pizza and nice drinks. Lovely atmoshere, friendly staff. Lovely place 👍🏻

Friendly nice staff but The food wasn’t impressive at all and expensive

Great service, lovely atmosphere, food come out in good time and tasted superb.

Me and my family we been for a late dinner on Sunday. Angie our waitress was looking after us very very well, always attentive and nothing was to much for her. Food came quick and service was phenomenal. Thank you Angie!

Calamari was good Ragu is fine But the pasta was bland, quite disappointed Staff are friendly Overall 3/5

Nice food with minimal waiting, Great service from all staff, we used a Buy a gift voucher on this visit and the food options were ok but not great.

I had to wait for my mediocre food for almost an hour (got 25% off later). Starters seem very overpriced for what quality level you get.

Why don't you make the salad with chicken avocado and crispy bacon anymore,it was my favourite

We had an amazing dining experience there. From incredible food to extremely friendly staff, everything was a delight. Highly recommend.

Great desserts. Would have expected more pieces in the cheesy mozzarella bites, and pizza a bit cold on arrival, but great quality and flavor.

Average food. Nothing exceptional

always come here great food, great staff ( the girl with facial piercings and the young man front of house, both so lovely and amazing and on every occasion) food is very quick and great tasting only little negative issue is sometimes it gets very busy and the poor staff are run ragged, maybe employ more staff The staff mentioned in my review are a credit to you!!!! please look after them

A nice meal out. The waiting staff were attentive. The food was lovely... tasty, good temperature and great size portions. We had a voucher, which saved us 25% - it was lovely to be able to use it on a Friday night. Only one criticism... the front door. The door closers weren't working so everytime someone came in, or left, the door didn't close. It was minus figures Friday night which was felt in the restaurant. We kept getting up to close the door and the staff closed it too when they noticed (but they were busy serving). Would eat here again in the spring, summer or autumn, but not while it's freezing outside (unless the doors get fixed!!!).

Love the food here always amazing. Staff friendly and helpful.

Nice food was good quality just portion size could have been better. Service was alright and friendly.

We ordered on Uber eats. The chips were falsely advertised. They literally covered the floor of the cardboard box they came in and went no higher then a fry on top of a fry it was an absolute rip off. Over £4 for about 15 tiny fries. The kids meal was just over £5 so sending chips for almost the same price was just insulting. The margarita pizza was tasty but the chips were NOT as advertised and we were extremely disappointed!

The food was mediocre my ravioli was burnt. The waitress Hana was the rudest waitress I have ever encountered. No wonder why there was only three tables at prime time on a Wednesday. She made me feel uncomfortable from the moment I sat down to the moment I left. Stay away wherever possible.

Staff went out of their way to help xx the disabled toilets were broken and they went overboard to help us. Excellent service would recommend
