Reading’s Favourite Italian Restaurant
If you’re looking for an Italian restaurant in Reading, Bella Italia is a favourite for good reason. Our star of the show? Pasta. Rich, saucy, cheesy and satisfying in all the right ways. From indulgent lasagne to creamy carbonara and hearty bolognese, there’s something for every mood.
But it doesn’t stop there. Our menu also features hand-stretched pizza, refreshing salads, juicy burgers and much more. You can also round off your meal with one of our tempting desserts or a glass from our curated drinks menu.
We believe that great food should be great value too. Our set menu and special offers make it easy to enjoy your Italian favourites without breaking the bank.
Dining with little ones? Bella is one of the most popular family friendly restaurants in Reading, and we’ve made family dining that bit easier with two flexible kids’ menu sizes. Our Smaller Portions come with a starter, mini main and dessert, ideal for younger ones or lighter appetites. For hungrier kids, the Larger Portions include mains that are 50% bigger, with the same delicious Italian flavours. Both sizes come with a drink as well. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference, and it’s one reason families keep coming back to Bella Italia.
We also cater for all dietary preferences, with plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available.
Pasta & Pizza Is What We Do Best
At Bella Italia Reading Oracle, pasta takes the spotlight. Think creamy carbonara, baked cheesy layers of lasagne and hearty bolognese, all made with quality ingredients and lots of love. Each dish is packed with flavour and made to comfort, excite and satisfy.
And if pizza is your go-to? We’ve got plenty to choose from, all hand-stretched and topped with classic and creative toppings. You’ll also find delicious salads and hearty burgers and much more. There’s something for every taste.
