It's friendly and homey- très rustique. The menu is simple and sparse, but with the quantity of pies on offer, what more do you need? Oh, and there's a full bar! I added a side of ratatouille to my meal and was not disappointed! What are you waiting for! Go get yourself a pie, or 4!!

A great place to eat in Reading. I highly recommend it…read more There are many choices for having a meal in Reading near the Caversham Bridge. Several on both sides of the bridge. I have tried many of them when I was visiting. I tried this particular one the first time and came back 3 times in a week. It is located at the southwest corner of A4155 and Randolph Road. The only parking seems to be street parking but it is easily walkable for the area. It is a very nice pub-like atmosphere with Tables in front, inside, and out back of the building in a courtyard. The seating is a variety of options from 4-seat arrangements and bench seating to large outdoor picnic styles under a tent. The inside is wood floors with a bar. The staff was wonderful and helpful. The food and drink came out quickly. They have a large menu with a lot of variety. I tried the Sunday roast dinner, the burger, and something like Peking Duck. Every meal I got was delicious. I tried their cider and it was also excellent. Overall, it was excellent every time that I went there. I highly recommend this to anyone in the area hungry for a good meal or looking for a nice place to share a drink.

A little on the spendy side, but well worth it if you want a great Italian meal. I've walked past…read morethis place dozens of times, but it wasn't until I had a craving for it that I decided to give it a try. They probably don't get a whole lot of walk-in traffic because it's down a long alleyway between Oxford Road and the Hexagon Theatre. Welcomed warmly by the (manager? owner?), I was brought to a table with a lovely view of the restaurant and the massive wine racks. But wine wasn't what I wanted today and I went with a pint of Italian Peroni beer. When it was delivered, the manager started to tell me about the specials when I interrupted him. The starter he mentioned - thin sliced parma ham with melon and fresh figs - sounded so appealing that I knew I had to have it. And when he started listing the mains, it was the scalloped veal that caught my attention. The ham was fantastic. Simply amazing. With the sweet melon and the soft figs, I cleared my plate down the glaxing. And the veal! OMG, so much garlic and so much flavor. I was tearing off pieces of bread and chasing the last few bits around the plate to get all of it. Simply heavenly. An excellent, excellent meal. If you're looking for a romantic date night or perhaps entertaining business colleagues, Pepe Sale is the place for you. Truly magnificent!

This Sardinian restaurant is one that I passed last time I was in Reading, but I judged the book by…read moreits cover and decided to pass since it was located in a semi sketch "alley" and nobody was in the restaurant. Well this time around our host planned a group dinner there and had good things to say about the restaurant. There were 11 of us and we were immediately seated when we arrived. The waters came right away and throughout the evening our servers were very attentive. I started with the antipasti plate that had meats and cheese and it was really good. For my main I ordered the chicken wrapped in bacon and stuffed with mozzarella and it was amazing. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor. The food was great and all my colleagues enjoyed their meals as well. The only annoying thing was that the server kept correcting our pronunciation of every menu item. None of us tried to pretend we were Italian and did our best to pronounce it, but he was kind of being a jerk in his reprimanding of our poor language. But even with that annoyance, I'd go back when I'm in Reading.

Very large dining areas and if you step up to the bar area, you can see into the very clean and well kept kitchen. Menus on the glass tables with rather odd 'coffee-themed' placemats. Service was extremely fast and my Mixed Seafood Noodles and Vegetarian Spring Rolls were both delivered to my table about 4 minutes after ordering. The noodles were good, but they needed a bit of the chilli paste to bring out the flavor. The spring rolls were very hot and crispy, as they should be. The usual beers are available - Tiger, Tsingtao - plus a small selection of spirits. Plus canned sodas. This restaurant has been here for decades, as I learned when I engaged the very nice lady in chat. She said 37 years. Amazing. I read elsewhere that they had some fire damage in 2008, but you can't tell. The place looks great.

Every item I tested had that one little exotic flavor to it that made you wish it had more. But if it DID have more, it would be too much, too overpowering. Fantastic for business meals up to 4 people. Intimate, quiet, attentive staff. And for desert, the sticky toffee pudding was overwhelmingly perfect. The exact right combination of crunch and cake, sweet and bitter, cream and cake. Honestly enjoyed it so much I asked my coworker to stop asking me questions until I was finished.

I especially like the crab mayonnaise in the appetiser list. I was extremely appreciative and taken by surprise the last time I was there. I ordered the moules frites and didn't finish it (quite a bit was left), the waitress noticed it and asked me why. I told her that it wasn't fresh (my friend had the same dish the previous time we were there, so this is a once off event for me) and she immediately took it off my bill. Thumbs up to her!

Tuna Nicoise Salad, Steak Frites and Chicken dishes are all exceptionally good. Good value as well. I definitely recommend it. Service is the only thing holding back a 5 star rating.

If they can get this part corrected, I'd give 5 stars!
