Our first time there to celebrate my birthday, I was so happy with everything. We arrived 15 before closing, we thought it was 9pm but after our Awesome Dinner and speaking with our server she said No, it's 8pm, we want everyone to experience our restaurant. The food was so delicious, best meal ever, dessert was great and service wonderful. Highly recommend this hidden gem ❤️Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access from entrance to dining room

Great atmosphere, friendly service and the owner said hello to most tables. Pre-concert meal for us and most others so at 5 pm the restaurant was packed and the staff looked like a well orchestrated machine. Delicious food and great drink options.

2/2/24. Had a reservation for 5pm with a show to attend at 7:30. Service was extremely slow. Without all the horrible details we left at 6:55 without eating our main course. Not the 1st time we had a not so pleasant experience. Never going back!!!
Always guaranteed good food, excellent service and great atmosphere!

We celebrated my son-in-law's birthday there on 12/26. There were eighteen in our party. There was another party of at least that size in an adjoining room. The restaurant was in great condition and given the number of smaller rooms, we felt we were alone in the restaurant. Everyone raved about the food. My wife and I shared the veal parm meal and each had a full lunch the next day with the left overs. The wings were excellent and to my liking crispy. Prices were moderate and the food was worth every cent. A special shout out to our server, Natalie. She was fantastic. Very efficient, timely, friendly and patient. While I live a distance from Reading, I intend to go back on a regular basis.Parking: Lighted and spacious
They opened early to accommodate our small graduation celebration. There were even special printed menus with our graduates name congratulating her. The service was amazing with 11 of us and she went out of her way to make it a extremely memorable experience. Thank you!Dietary restrictions: Accommodated a gluten intolerant and vegetarian guest.
