The best restaurants serving Italian food in West Berkshire South East

Great food, lovely staff, quick service

I don’t usually write reviews …. But this place was just so on the mark it’d be cruel not to…..Very cosy place with a buzzing, warm atmosphere. Very kind, friendly staff with service at just the right speed - not so fast you felt so rushed but no so you felt like you were waiting too long. The pizza we had was excellent - I could watch it come out of the oven onto the plate before being served as they have an open kitchen which is always a positive sign. Once with us the food barely touched the sides it was sooo good!! Then there was the gelato……!!

My wife and I were staying in Newbury for a few days last October. Looking for a place the eat nearby our hotel we found this restaurant Valle D'oro. The owners were warm and welcoming, the menu was amazing and the food was sublime! Carmen is so lovely and friendly, food is generous and freshly cooked and nothing is too much trouble. This makes dining a pleasure! So much that we went back the next day, and the next. I myself do not like pasta that much but there is plenty to choose from in the menu. Best restaurant in Newbury by far.

We were delighted with our visit to this friendly and authentic restaurant. There are monthly specials to augment a good wide ranging menu, strong in pizza also (but no eponymous mussels to be seen?). The welcome and service are first class.. Highly recommended. Book to be sure of a table.

Absolutely loved the food try a bit of everyone’s and I can fault it at all the sauce is the part for me and loved the king prawn spaghetti

The food , the service and friendliness is always excellent . I would highly recommend. It’s our favourite restaurant which never disappoints

The pub was brimming and over flowing to the outside with diners when we arrived. I'd heard their roast dinners were good and thought the number of people were a testament to that. Wrong! The roast (?) potatoes weren't all golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside but barely cooked and a grey colour which my knife couldn't penetrate. One of the potatoes was actually black. The parsnip was not all soft and squiggy but suffered the same lack of time in the oven, if it ever saw an oven that defied my knife slicing off a piece to taste. The pork dry, and tasteless. I didn't attempt the giant Yorkshire which obviously wasn't homemade instead looked plastic. The cackling burnt. However the side dish of cabbage and carrots and the one piece of cauliflower whilst overcooked was quite tasty hence the 2 stars I think we were perhaps one of the last diners to be served so maybe we drew the short straw. I'm not however game to try again.

Absolutely fantastic little restaurant in Crowthorne. This is a regular place we go for dinner since we discovered it. The food is incredible, absolutely delicious and is always as good. Never a disappointment. We love the lasagne and garlic bread, much better than Don Beni the other Italian in Crowthorne. The price is reasonable and the staff are very kind and courteous. Absolutely must try! Highly recommend

Absolutely wonderful food and service. We visited on a Tuesday evening and were warmly welcomed. Our food was of exceptional standard and the service excellent. Such a tremendous surprise.

7 keen workers needed a treat so we booked a table for lunch and had the most wonderful, seriously wonderful Pizza's. Everyone was saying it was one of the best pizza's we have ever had. Ice cream and pimms all super. Thanks Team Lusso!

We had booked for a family celebration and had high expectations because of previous reviews. The atmosphere felt choatic and it was soon made obvious they were short staffed in the kitchen and on the restaurant floor. There were very long waits to order and even longer waits to receive everything. The food was at best mediocre! The steak was so over cooked it was grey, the pizza was so thin and soggy with grease, the pasta sauces were watery or had been burnt! And why if they were so short staffed and fully booked were they still accepting takeway orders! They had the audacity to charge a 10% service charge. We paid as we don’t like to make a fuss, but we won’t ever return! Very very disappointing.

Fourth visit and this one just as fabulous as the first three. Food and staff are amazing. open kitchen serving freshly made dishes. Simply brilliant. Thanks all, be back soon.

Delicious food! The garlic and chorizo bomb is amazing. The carbonara was fantastic too! Super fast service. Thanks, Tom.

We have been here a few times and have not been disappointed. This time the service and meals were fine. But I only give 3 stars because the place was extraordinarily noisy. Loud chatter from other diners is to be expected, but adding overly loud music made it impossible to have a normal conversation, so we ate quietly and left without desert.

Popped in to grab some food on our way home. We each ordered a lemon and herb pita. I didn’t catch the gentleman’s name who served us but he was very polite, cheerful and helpful. We did haven’t to wait too long for our food. The pita was fresh, chicken cooked perfectly, with the right amount of slaw and sauce. It was so good we contemplated turning around to get another.
