The best restaurants serving Italian food in West Berkshire South East

Underwhelming to say the least … we have attended for Mother’s Day today… we did get a complimentary glass of fizz for the two of us who are mothers. We arrived early and sat for a drink at a table in the lounge area with was covered in salt from the prior guests who were sat there I assume…. No one thought to clean it before or during the time they brought our drinks to us. We were seated on time. Family of five seated at a table for four and expected to squeeze in without being asked if it was ok to squeeze in. Youngest is 10 We ordered the food after a while, some set menu some normal menu and a kids menu. We waited about 20 mins for our starters and they were nice, we didn’t all have one. They were eaten in about 10 mins. We then waited a further 30 mins for our mains. Bearing in mind we didn’t all have a starter that means some of our table were an hour into the sitting before eating anything. During this time, not one person asked if we were ok or how the starter was, did we need anything else or anything at all really. The mains came, at this time I had to ask for more drinks, as no one came to offer them. The mains were fine, everyone enjoyed their food… our plates were taken without the offer of any desert menu. We waited for some time for this to be offered.. in the end we had to ask (twice) after about 20 minutes. We got our puddings really quickly, they were also fine. Nothing special. We had those, no tea or coffee offered, we then asked for the bill. The bill came, it was incorrect.. as we had ordered things from the set menu but they had been charged individually.. so the bill was returned. It came back corrected and we paid and left. For the prices asked and the lovely venue it’s such a shame the service and attention to detail is so mediocre/non existent. This is our second time here. The first was also disappointing with an incredibly soggy pizza and lacklustre service which is why it’s taken me years to get my other half back here. I used to go to the minehead Coppa a lot, it was MUCH better and I had hopes this one would live up to the standard. We won’t be back again.
