Rossini in Wokingham

Took my mum here for her birthday. It was a restaurant we went to lots when it first opened in the 90s but not been for a while. I have to say some reviews had me concerned but the staff were attentive, lovely and funny. The menu had a huge choice and the ambience was delightful. We had a lovely time and felt no rush to be done even when we were the last in the restaurant after lunch. Will definitely be back, thank you

Went with friends lovely quaint authentic Italian restaurant owned by an Italian, I had whitebait to star which was a very generous portion and really tasty. I had the Spaghetti alle Vongole for my main and it was one of the nicest ones I’ve had, surpassed the one I had at the BVALGARI last month in Dubai.

Came today with family , had Mozzarella Caprese, and Spaghetti alla Bolognese from the lunch menu, great wine and brilliant Service

We booked Rossini for a small family double birthday celebration, father and son, 70th and 36th, having visited a few times before. As we had a vegan in our party we were assured of a vegan menu on their website and again in the confirmation phone call that morning. Believing this to be a family restaurant, as we sat down I asked if they had a high chair for our very well behaved 2 year old granddaughter and was told “No!” I then asked if maybe they had a cushion and yet again a solitary “No!” We then asked for the vegan menu and was given a third negative reply. When we mentioned the website and the phone call we were told that they meant to remove it. We had no choice but to leave and we got a sarcastic “Ciao” from this really inhospitable rude waiter. It’s a shock and a terrible shame that whoever this person was had very nearly ruined an important celebration, had we not found Cote restaurant. Please read my 5 star review of Cote Wokingham separately. Needless to say we won’t ever return and have told neighbours and friends of our experience.

Food was excellent , 9 of us all enjoyed our different choices. The restaurant was very busy , nice family atmosphere. Birthday girl received a small cake with a candle and everyone sang , nice touch . Would go again .

Visited rossinis post lockdown. And the food and service were excellent. Especially recommend the pasta dishes and the desserts.

A return visit for a birthday celebration...great, as always. Welcome and atmosphere are very Italian and poignant in the light of Italy’s Covid 19 probs. The food is always freshly prepared and beautifully presented; service exemplary and prices very competitive

It’s been a while since we visited Rossini, but it was just as good as I remember. Lovely atmosphere and run by friendly staff. We visited last Friday night and where able to get a table, although the place was pretty busy. As others have...

Have been to Rossini’s for the last forty years absolutely love it Tony and all the boys are very friendly and food always brilliantl

Have visited this restaurant many times for dinner but came recently for lunch and had their fixed menu, lovely food and good value.

Classic Sicilian cooking with generous portion sizes. Lovely flavours, good service. Prices are a little on the high side bit otherwise excellent.

I visited this restaurant with my wife and daughter as a family treat. The food was very good. My wife and I shared a mussels starter which was good and my daughter had the calamari which was excellent. For mains I had the chefs special...

Evening spoilt by loud operatic music which made conversation impossible. Long wait between courses. I ordered additional drinks which were forgotten. Food was pretty good.

My wife and I had our anniversary dinner here. lovely atmosphere good service and good food. portions almost too big, very generous. i had claalves liver, very tender and my wife chicken also well cooked. the only slight disappointment was the fresh orange dessert. ....

Very disappointed. Food was rushed out in double quick time so obviously microwaved - not what you expect when you are paying £14 for "fresh" pasta. Staff were inattentive, we got the distinct impression the would rather we leave.

One of few 'original' Wokingham restaurants. Traditional Italian food and great service. Limited menu choice on fixed price menu but all 6 of us found a favourite.

It has been 2-3 years since last visit but always enjoyed it there. Great food and good service. Nice touch with the mini starter they give you on the house. Had the spaghetti bolognese for starter and was excellent and veal saltimboca also good, and...

I visit my sister August every year and we always go to this restaurant for lunch. The staff are always friendly and the food is always lovely. I would recommend this little gem for a gorgeous lunch with family or a catch up with friends....

A great venue for our anniversary meal! Authentic atmosphere, Italian music, food, waiters... spot on. The waiter was helpful with our choices, efficient in service and smiled! The food was freshly prepared, generous portions and very tasty & reasonably priced. A definite return is planned...

Visited as a group of four and had a wonderful meal. We had varying requests for the staff regarding drinks & food preferences, our special requirements were met perfectly! Lovely food & atmosphere.

Sometimes you come across little gems like this Italian restaurant. It does exactly what it sets out to achieve, to offer good, rustic, flavoursome and traditional dishes. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than a lovely family run restaurant, who love their food and...

Discovered this restaurant by chance whilst looking for somewhere to eat and kill 2 hours in Wokingham. What a find! Food was excellent, hot and plentiful. Loved the crostini with tomato and olive oil, alongside the bread before the starter. Yum. Service was first class:...

The food here is delicious & potion size is huge. The staff are attentive without being annoying. Highly recommend with a big thumbs up 👍🏼

Like a lot of things in life you get use to doing the same thing and it becomes a bit of a habit. Dinner in Rossini's before a day at the races is such a great start to a wonderful couple of days. Great welcome...

A really traditional Italian dining experience. Hearty, Generous and Tasty. The slightly awkward decor adds to the experience. The deserts from the trolley are delicious.

Lovely old charm restaurant. Very tasty fresh food. Lovely service. Needs a little updating but I guess that adds to the charm. Overall very nice.

since returning from Italy, i have been desperate to find an Italian place that can take me back. I really hoped it would be this place and after reading excellent reviews i thought it would be, i was also looking forward to supporting a smaller...

I haven't been to Rossini's for 20 odd years. It's hardly changed! Great atmosphere on the Saturday night that we went. Nice touch with a selection of breads and salsa to start. I had a steak which was excellent. Table silver service for the veg...

A really authentic Italian. Great menu choice, good value and really nice service. Thoroughly recommend.

We have eaten here before but many years ago. Always good but even better now. Food and service excellent and not a bad word to say about it. Doesn't open until 6.30pm

Had a family celebration meal here tonight and I have to say it was stunning! Food and service both delicious and impeccable- will definitely be back!

I visited twice in the last week. Saturday very busy but service and food excellent. Lovely and intimate venue.

Service was 1st class. Food was faultless. Not been here for a while but now it all seems so much better.

I have been with colleagues in this restaurant and I think that it's a good solution in Wokingham. The menu offers several choices, absolutely typical of Italy, including meat, pasta, fish, antipasti. It's difficult to choice, they looks like all interesting. I finally choose baked...

Amazing food and excellent service if you’re ever in the Wokingham area it’s well worth a visit. I would recommend the carbonara as it was the best I’ve ever tasted. It’s also very easy to park and not expensive so a perfect restaurant to visit...

We received a warm welcome when we entered the restaurant from a very polite and friendly member of staff. We chose the two course lunch which included a glass of wine. The food was superb and perfectly cooked. We can't wait to go back there...

Very impressed . Chose the two-course lunch menu . The food was superb and well presented and included a glass of decent wine . The ambiance was pleasant and the soft background music was , of course , Italian . I shall visit again without doubt .

Had a lovely meal with friends , starters and mains , food served was delicious and all of us enjoyed our meals , service was good and pleasant atmosphere....... a real gem .....

Had lunch again here, it reallly is best you can get in value and taste. I think lunch menu is £12 for two courses including glass of wine. A must try for lunch, very good sized portions

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner recently. The main course and starters were very tasty. The dessert was horrible (profiteroles) and used horrible cheap chocolate squeezy sauce. I've heard good things about this restaurant, but sadly the service was not great. The waiter was pushy and abrupt.

We visited at lunchtime, and were blown away by the value of the lunchtime menu. Food was delicious and everything was served with the attention and care that makes this restaurant so popular. We will definitely be back.

Just returned from a very nice and cosy Italian restaurant, me and my husband went for the first time for lunch on the 2014 new year eve. And we had a wonderful meal, wine was just superb and dessert was excellent. Since then we have tried to book on Christmas every year but unfortunately it's always fully booked. Luckily my husband managed last July to book online for tonight and it was as expected wonderful, food was just delicious and waiters so cheerful very attentive. Some refurbishing was done I assume since last time but to much better way. More space for more tables.

Estado aquí unas cuantas veces y cada vez que tenemos una experiencia increíble. El personal es encantador y la comida es deliciosa! ¡Nos encanta!

Gran restaurante con excelente servicio. La comida es auténtica y sabe como estoy de vuelta en Italia.

Una mesa tranquila para cuatro? No lo creo, ni lo quiero. Nuestros amigos han estado aquí en numerosas ocasiones y ¿qué mejor lugar para celebrar un cumpleaños importante. Un gran ambiente y un restaurante típico italiano. Un restaurante con animación. El menú es tan enorme que sin duda encontrará algo para satisfacer su paladar. Lo que me gustó fue que es un restaurante italiano, dirigido por una familia italiana y atendidos por los italianos. Hemos comido en el restaurante de la misma cadena en el río Cuando abrió, pero era la primera vez 'en casa'. A ninguno de nosotros nos sentimos decepcionados con nuestra comida y recomiendo encarecidamente el Insalat mare de cual es el pescado marinado, absolutamente impresionante. No los dueños de el molino que compramos en peces pero, atún, salmón, anchoas, peces espada y la lubina. En el mejor andanadas consecutivas de todo el menú. A un precio razonable, bien preparado, un servicio amable, ¿qué más se puede pedir. Ah otra cosa, uno ve para vino de la casa, delicioso y bien de precio. Toni y su equipo son los anfitriones perfectos. Altamente recomendado. Si regresaría? No lo dudes!

Siete de nosotros fuimos un sábado por la noche y tuvimos una gran comida. Tuve dificultades para elegir como el menú es larga y todo sonaba atractivo! Yo finalmente decidió en la mozzarella en carozza (como un sándwich de queso frito) para el arranque y el scialatielli ai frutta di mare. Me gustó mi arranque, aunque había sido frito un poco demasiado largo. La pasta era fabuloso - un montón de mariscos. Probé algunos de los otros platos sabrosos - todos y no tengo ninguna queja de nadie. Las verduras con los platos principales fueron acertadas. Lo más destacado fue el tranvía mi postre! Es años desde que he visto. Quería todas ellas pero elegimos el licor de naranja naranjas caramelised en - uno de los mejores dulces que he probado en mucho tiempo. El servicio era un poco lento, pero aún así fue una gran noche.

Have no doubt about the quality of this restaurant. It was fine dining at its best. Service delightfully attentive but not overpowering. Very special quality of food and serving size. Huge range of tastes and cuisine. Dessert trolley amazing.

Un restaurante que nunca deja de sorprendernos. Comida de primera clase y el servicio.

La comida es buena, pero sin mucha inspiración italiana tradicional o variación regional. Lo que había era buena, el paté de aperitivo, camarones y casablaca del carrito de postres. El carrito de postres tiene todo lo que usted esperaría en un restaurante italiano y mucho más. Que el tranvía estacionado en un pasillo estrecho donde terminó siendo en una zona con mucho tráfico, cerca de camareros ir y venir de las cocinas y los clientes de ir y venir de los inodoros; creo que deberían trabajar en la organización que un poco más de manera higiénica.

Great food served well in a small freindly atmosphere. Large menu, which does need updating but always more than enough to satisfy most paletes.

Reservamos una mesa para las 8 pm los martes por la noche, no teníamos que no estaba ocupado. El año pasado cuando vinimos estaba muy concurrido y en otra ocasión no pudimos reservar.

This is one of the best Italian restaurants I've been too. Not only is the service excellent, the food is full of flavour and good portion sizes. The coffee is great as well. Absolutely fantastic place.

Primera vez aquí y seguramente no será la última. El restaurante solo es precioso, acogedor, limpio y divertido, como es de esperar de un buen restaurante italiano. La comida era excelente y los tres campos en muy generosas porciones de tamaño mediano y el servicio era muy bueno. Se viene aquí, y sin duda lo recomiendo, mucho mejor que la calle alto nivel italiano 'restaurantes encadenada y no demasiado caro.

Este ha sido nuestro restaurante favorito y regular desde que abrió sus puertas hace veinte años. El personal es amable y eficiente y la comida siempre es de primera clase. El ambiente es auténtico y las pinturas en la pared a la transferencia de la Costa Amalfi. No se puede encontrar un restaurante italiano en Berkshire mejor

Nice food at a good price. Lacked a little in customer service and we were quite cramped but we had a nice evening.

I've been here twice and both times it's been excellent. The service, atmosphere and food have all been top quality and you just want to go back again and again....especially for the famous dessert trolley!

Comida maravillosa, personal agradable y cortés, quienes se enorgullecen de su trabajo!!. Buena relación calidad-precio (el menú de 3 platos es increíblemente bueno y el ambiente encantador). Vinos con buena relación calidad-precio. Mi favorito por mucho y gracias Wokingham restaurante Rossini!!

We have often been to is restaurant in the past and had good sevice and food but at end of February we went for a Saturday lunch and were very disappointed. The service and food were indifferent and the place was more than half empty perhaps indicating the way things are going. My wife's pasta was slightly burnt and they were unconcerned. When we left we had to find our own coats. It was so sad to see what was once a decent reliable restaurant to have slipped so far down in quality.We will not bother going back.

Visiting the area, a friend booked this place. Very average, quite expensive, food OK.Would not return.

You are always made to feel very welcome, the staff are great and the Italian food is top class. Although it is not a large restuarant perhaps that helps the atmosphere which is very nice.

We visited Rossinis for a special birthday meal and boy were we delighted. The staff were welcoming and attentive and the food was first class. We will definitely be back.

We'd been to Rossini's last year to celebrate our anniversary and enjoyed the evening so much we came back again with our daughter to celebrate her birthday in February. Great menu, good atmosphere and always busy. Really attentive service but never obtrusive. I'm sure we'll end up as regular diners and I look forward to our next visit.

Went here for a birthday celebration with my husband & son.They both had the steak in a green peppercorn sauces & I had the chicken in a white wine sauces everything was cooked to perfection. Proper Italian food with proper Italian atmosphere, great service, can't wait to go again

The staff are very welcoming and ensure you have everything you want. We even had some free small appetisers whilst we where waiting for out food. Waiting time was minimal and the food itself was true Italian.

I had dinner with friends while staying in the area. It was empty when we arrived but filled up quickly. Service was prompt and good and the menu was extensive. I has a delicious sea bass dish. Well worth a visit.

This restaurant is compact and has a lovely atmosphere, Il divo type music and very comfortable. For a midweek visit it was full which is a testament to how nice it is there. The food was tasty and plentiful, large menu with plenty of choice and the waiters very attentive. I don't think there is an Italian restaurant to beat this one in the area and we will definitely go back again. Would definitely recommend booking even for during the week.

I visited Rossini for the 2nd time last night. I really enjoyed my first visit so I wanted to take my other half and dad as they had never been.When we made the booking, we were told we could only have the table until 8:30pm as they had another booking - this was fine as we had allowed plenty of time.Rossini is a very authentic small restaurant.The initial service was good, the atmosphere was fantastic and the food was lovely! I recommend the lasagna.There was music playing in the background which was good at times, however as the evening went on, the music got louder and we found ourselves struggling to hear each other.The one downside to the whole experience was the rushed service. We had an hour and a half before we had to vacate the table and everything just seem rushed. Towards the end of the evening, there was a queue of people wanting to come in. I can only imagine that another party had overstayed their time as we were well within ours, however the staff were very keen to get rid of us which spoiled a lovely evening.Tip - If you are given a time to vacate your table when booking - really think if this is enough time as no one wants to be rushed when you're enjoying a nice evening out.Other than this, I would recommend Rossini's.

I visit this place quite frequently; at least once a month if possible, so I'll be brief and not comment on any specific meal. The staff are always accommodating and friendly. The food is always delicious; especially the carpaccio, gnocchi and steaks. Desserts and generous and delicious. It's somewhere you can keep returning to without getting bored. I think I've had something different every time and never been disappointed.

I always worry when I take someone new to a restaurant I've raved about, but I should have known that Rossini wouldn't disappoint. It truly is a wonderful and charming little Italian restaurant and as with our previous visits, the food was delicious (and plentiful!) and the service was faultless.

My wife and I shared a good starter, two delicious pasta main courses, washed down with a pretty decent bottle of white wine. Relaxed and informal atmosphere yet still smart enough to to feel like a "proper evening out". All for under £60. I can't think of a better pound-for-pound restaurant in Wokingham.

In previous years a Christmas meal here has been good and very competitively priced so we booked again for 2015. The price has increased greatly. The service was indifferent to grudging. Requests were made several times for things like water glasses on the table and the candle to be lit. While the main turkey course was fine the profiteroles were dreadful - filled with over-whipped cream and sparsely covered with a poorly prepared chocolate sauce. Coffee was included on the menu but it turned out only included with the 3 course menu, although this was not stated. Needless to say we did not leave a tip and will not go there again for Christmas.

Although booked in advance they had no record but other than that was a great treat.Excellent staff, good selection, food superb (the white bait was one of the biggest portions I think I have had. Brought back memories of the old style Italian restaurants from my past. Would recommend this place.

Great treat, really good traditional Italian restaurant. Great choice of dishes from an extensive menu. They were very busy which I guess shows that this place has an excellent reputation. The staff were really friendly and worked so hard!

I visited here after a hiatus of a couple of years and was pleasantly surprised how much it had changed. The food is truly authentic Italian cuisine - I have eaten worse in Italy. Inside is cosy yet charming (as you feel like you are out on an Italian veranda). Would recommend for intimate dinners - the pudding cart is to die for!

Went here on a Friday night in December. We were given complimentary bruschetta and olives. The starters are more expensive than other restaurants but the portion size justified the price. The mains again were large in portion size and truly delicious. I struggled to eat everything so would have rathered a smaller starter. The service was great for a very busy restaurant. Staff were always on hand to serve and charm us. The atmosphere was cosy and intimate as the restaurant is quite compact in size. Delighted with the experience so much so that I have revisiting again tonight!

Visited this restaurant 3 times this year. Food is really good. Each time have asked for speciality Amalfi coast wine, always out of stock!Second visit we were rushed to finish our meal and told we could have our coffee outside as table was needed even though there empty tables available. Third visit, plate snatched from table whilst still chewing last mouthful without asking if we'd finished! I think we've given this restaurant a fair chance, but never again. Find somewhere with more respect for their customers.Never again

I recently contacted this restaurant as I was taking customers out for dinner when a local hotel let us down last minute. I called 2 days before the event and although they were fully booked they opened the restaurant early to accommodate our party of 19 people. We were served delicious fresh homemade bread and olives whilst we looked through the menu, these were complimentary. We all had 3 courses which were all yummy and served together. I'm not from the area but will definitely go back when I'm passing. Thanks again to all the staff and owner for helping me out.

When it comes to special occasions, we are always willing to travel the 145 miles, to celebrate at this restaurant - yes, it is that good!In August we visited for my partners birthday. It was such an incredible evening, and we left comfortably full, slightly merry and very happy within our decision to visit.Both the co-owners were very friendly. We always opt for 'Tony Joyce's seafood linguini' and asked if that was the owner - Tony's - surname. He explained it wasn't and indeed it was a good friend of his name. I explained we had came from Shropshire especially to visit, as we love the place and that it was my partners birthday.Tony, told us he should try his seafood ravioli for starter, which wasn't on the menu. We agreed, and when it arrived we were not disappointed. It was incredible. For mains we chose our faithful dish of 'Tony Joyce's seafood linguini'. As always it never fails! It really is super delicious! You must try it.After a bottle of rose prosecco, we were feeling slightly tipsy and couldn't have possibly had room for desert. I went to the ladies room, and on passing Tony on the way back he said we must stay and have another drink as they were going to sing happy birthday! Tony bought out a cake with candles and gave us a slice before it went onto the desert trolley! My boyfriend was extremely happy, it was a little touch that made the evening!Customer service here is second to none. The food, atmosphere, the staff, the whole experience is remarkable. See you guys in December! Thank you for such a lovely evening x

Fantastic food, great staff, would recommend this eating house to anyone, if you love Italian you must visit.

Really great food. Delicious steak for two to share. Also an excellent wine recommendation. Friendly service. All in all the best Italian restaurant in the area. Including the overpriced one up the road!

I've visited this restaurant a couple of times and have always been very satisfied with the food, wine and quality of service. The interior decor of the restaurant is charming with a wonderful, vibrant atmosphere. My one issue (which largely comes from the popularity and intimate layout of the restaurant) is that it gets rather hot! This is a small drawback and wouldn't not stop me from thoroughly recommending this restaurant

Rossini's seems to have been in Wokingham for ever and is still one of the better quality Italian offerings in the town. Despite strong competition it still holds it's own, especially against the chain restaurants and cheap eats that have seemingly sprung up everywhere.The menu is unsurprising, but very comprehensive with a good choice of favourites including veal which is nice to see. The food is very well cooked and authentic when comparing it with a recent trip to Rome; it's certainly up to standard.The desert trolley is worth mentioning and there is a mouth watering selection of cakes, pastries and extravagant gateaux- delicious, but not good for the waistline.There is a very well priced lunch time menu which makes this an ideal venue for a business lunch that will not break the bank. Complimented with a good wine list with sensibly priced bottles or by the glass, this is definitely to be recommended.

Top nosh. The closest thing you'll get to authentic Italian dining without actually going to Italy...

On coming to Wokingham 20 years ago, I found few choices of decent restaurants. This was one of them.Now 20 years and umpteen chains of Italian restaurants, failed niche startups and gastropubs later, I still think - based on a recent visit - this has to be Wokingham's nicest, friendliest and most authentic Italian dining experience. It's small - some might even find it cramped - but food is well prepared, recipes tried and tested, and waiters are professional and attentive without being too intrusive. But I like it mainly for the tradition of Rossini's: where else, for example, still offers a sweet trolley crammed with delights? It is, yes, a restaurant seemingly rooted in the past, but it is none the worse for that. Visit and enjoy.

Lovely food, great service, old fashioned ambiance and 10 out of 10 every time. You MUST book though to avoid disappointment especially at weekends

Recently an entirely fictitious very poor 'review' making unfair and unsubstantiated accusations against this restaurant was posted from this account. The review was removed at my request but may have been here long enough to mislead readers.I would like to apologise unreservedly for that 'review' which was completely untrue and should never have been posted here.I have only visited this restaurant once - with friends who recommended it and have been regular customers for several years. My experience was as expected from their unanimously positive comments. I enjoyed good food, friendly staff and had a most enjoyable time in a lovely environment.I can recommend all aspects of this restaurant.

Excellent food, great wine and service was brilliant. Tourndo Rossini amazing Antonio we will travel back from the midlands to sample your food again A real gem in Wokingham treasure it.

When I called to complained that my jacket's pocket had been emptied at the restaurant the manager 'Antonio' repeatedly laugh at my comments. I agree that I shouldn't have had valuables in my pockets but I didn't expect for the jackets of all the group to be taken away so heatedly. What's the point of offering to take coats and jackets away if they can't warranty that they are going to be kept secure.At the end of the dinner. When we were leaving the premises we were approach by three suspiciously looking men asking for directions to Tesco in a Waitrose car park.Be careful inside and outside this restaurant.Rossini web page message application doesn't work.

After several visits it just keeps getting better and better. Staff,food,atmosphere. Such a lovely bunch of people and highly recommended . My favourite little Italian .

Great Authentic Italian food. Fantastic and freindly staff. Will definitely be making regularly visits....

Didn't have a reservation, just walked in today for lunch. Special lunch menu with lots of choices for about £12 per person. Included glass of red or white wine. Had home-made minestrone soup followed by Lasagne both excellent and just enough.Partner had prawn cocktail with the same main course. Both had white wine which was very good, to say it was the house wine included in the lunch price. Overall the service was excellent, friendly without being intrusive. Food was typical tasty Italian. Will go back soon. Well done Rossini.

There is a key point from our visit that prevents this restaurant achieving an Excellent rating and it could be seen by some as a fairly crucial issue... they didn't have a record of our booking. Now bearing in mind this is a small and obviously popular restaurant (considering the number of people that were in there) and the fact that it was a Friday night at 8.30 the head waiter could not seat us. Fortunately we were in an amiable mood, and it wasn't raining, and so we were more than content to sit at a little table outside and have a glass of Prosecco, or two, whilst we waited for a table to become available. Once in we discovered that this is no modern, fine lines restaurant, and it is all the better for it. You feel like you have walked off of one of Wokingham's main streets and into a little trattoria in the back streets of Naples. It is loud and chaotic and full of rustic Italian charm. We were a little worried about the size of the menu. Of course it is often considered best to offer a moderate menu and do it brilliantly than risk too much but we really enjoyed our food. If you do like fine line restaurants and your food neatly arranged on your plate in a way that is worthy of a high end restaurant then this is NOT the place for you. But if you want to be served by friendly Italian waiters, have a good time, enjoy good Italian food without being subjected to that of yet another Italian chain restaurant, and have a wide range of Italian digestives available for your consumption after your meal then you can't go wrong with this utterly loveable little place. We shall be visiting again.

Rossini is a family run restaurant that has been serving real Italian food close to the centre of Wokingham for nearly a quarter of a century. We have used it for business luncheons for several years and always found Toni, the owner/chef a helpful and friendly person. He is especially proud of the fine Italian wines that he keeps for his more discerning customers. The menu is quite broad with an emphasis on real Italian dishes. The servings are generous to a fault.The chef does not hold with the modern trend of tiny portions jazzed up with fancy trimmings. On our last visit, we all chose Dover soles for the main course. It is a fine fish - rivaling turbot and expensive to boot. It was a Friday so we expected that the fish would be in fine condition. Unfortunately, the grilled 'on the bone' examples from the kitchen were dry and seemed to have sat in the freezer for far too long. It was a disappointing lunch only off set by the friendly and helpful waiting staff. Perhaps, on this occasion the omens conspired to work against this fine fish and we are sure we will visit the restaurant again. In the meantime we have always enjoyed the sea bream.

Visited this restaurant with my husband and our American friends. Service was very good no long waiting time. Excellent choices on menu. Portions are generous so bring your appetite along. Staff are very friendly and happy. Excellent value for money. Food was really good and delicious. We shall be going back again soon. Our visiting American friends were very impressed. well done Rossini!

Last visit was in February this year...This time it was an important dinner with the new lady in my life. Service was reasonable and cheerful although a little slow at times.Food was average overall. I started with soup , which was excellent , my companion had the avocado with Cheese sauce, which was very heavy on the cheese , but ok.We both had steak in sauce for main , both cooked as requested ..sauce was a little thin but tasty. Neither of us had sweet but they looked very good...Overall a nice evening but improvements in service and food would make it great. Having said that we would go back ..

Very Italian the food was good friendly staff it was like being in Italy. The restaurant is not too large as I hate big restaurants. Will go back again Good value the lunchtime menu was only 12.00 Waiters where very friendly and the décor is great. ChristinaChristina

I have been here a few times with work, a very nice family run small Italian eatery with very good food and drinks. Friendly staff eager to serve.

I'd heard so many good things about Rossinis I was so looking forward to our meal. The greeting and welcome couldn't be faulted, the service was good and friendly enough but seriously the food was such a disappointment! The decor is quite 70's and that's part of its charm but the presentation of the food is also very much in the 20th century! My mixed sea food starter served in scallop shells was ok but not as described in the menu. The calves liver with prochetta ham was completely overpowered by the garlic and the only desert worth a penny was the fruit roulade and that wasn't great. Coffee and service were great but the food was a serious disappointment and would not return.

What a friendly restaurant with an excellent menu. The choices available must easily please all requirements. The standard of service was friendly but at the same time very professional. A good selection of wines are available at a very reasonable price. We were impressed with the standard of the chef's cooking.

My first time at Rossinis in Wokingham and wow great little restaurant great decor great staff and excellent food lots of choice :))) well worth a visit
