Restaurants in Reading

“We stumbled upon Half & Half while searching for a place to get breakfast and stopped in with our 2 yo. Very cute interior with a friendly staff and delicious food. My wife absolutely loved her avocado toast with eggs and my breakfast sandwich was perfectly grilled. We ordered chocolate chip pancakes for our son who also chomped on my home fries and fresh fruit from my wife’s plate. The person who waited on us (the owner?) was exceptionally friendly and stopped off to talk through all of the various types of butter on the table (no, seriously, like four different kinds and all equally amazing!). We will definitely be back for lunch — and more butter.”

“I love this place so much ! I typically get the takeout pizza and it’s absolutely delicious!! I just tried the meatball sub for the first time and I give it 5stars 😊 omg.. it is by far , the best meatball sub I’ve had in a long long time and closest to homemade that I’ve ever had as store bought !! So cheesy and toasted to perfection Nellas gravy (sauce) is superb !! It’s worth the travel to Reading. A few other favorites are the arancini , chicken parm calzone and an awesome Cobb salad !”

“HANDS DOWN the best Italian food I've ever eaten! Even the drinks were to die for, and I rarely drink. I had a Key Lime Pie martini, and a Pistachio martini...SO good! I drove down from Concord, New Hampshire for a girls night. We're planning another here soon! Give Venetian Moon a try, and be sure to ask to be seated in Louise's section. He was outstanding!!”

“pizza is always good we alway get the cheese pizza”

“I always get a great meal there . Breakfast or lunch it doesn’t matter. Look for any seasonal specials .”

“One of our favorites! Delicious authentic Italian dishes! Awesome mixed cocktails!”

“Highly recommend Professor’s catering! Decided to have them make the food for a post wedding brunch I co-hosted in April. Best decision ever! Guests raved about the food! Then in June, I needed a last minute gluten free entree, and the team put together a beautifully garnished pan of gluten free roasted chicken that was delicious. Love their grab and go prepared foods case, too! 10 out of 10!”

“Fat Larry’s never disappoints.”

“Definitely found my new favorite pizza place! Can’t say enough about how good it was, bbq chix pizza was perfectly cooked, generous toppings, delicious!!! We’ll be back”

“Great quality! Always a wide variety available. I usually leave with subs, chicken cutlets for the kids, cold cuts for the week, and a treat! Great platters for events too!”

“The food was amazing. The service was amazing.”

“I was upset that my credit was charged twice when I bought a pizza. I didn't know who was to blame. I bad mouthed Pizza World and the credit card company. Eventually (4 days later) the credit card company fixed the mistake that they caused. Dennis at Pizza World tried to help, but it was David and Goliath. I am very sorry for bad mouthing Pizza world.”

“Great menu - plenty to choose from Wonderful staff”

“Great people, great place. Food is fast and good. From roast beef, BLTs and tuna.
Love everything!!!
They also make great breakfast sandwiches!!”

“As a Senior Citizen, age has affected hearing & sight. Due to this I along with 1000's of others like me require your staff to be more attentive. Repeating the same words over & over to customers can be a chore with lack of clarity. I suggest your managers have a little pep talk with your help so they can speak up when dealing with us older folks. It is not beyond their ability to do so. I will take note on my next visit to Fuddruckers. Thank you.”

“Thank you! I tried your dairy free Black Raspberry Oreo, and it’s a game changer! Finally a dairy free ice cream that has the right consistency and tastes like actual ice cream. I was so excited that I could taste the black raspberry without any hint of almonds/sunbutter/coconut as is always the case at other places. Cal’s Creamery is the best! PS - my husband loved your baklava flavor!”

“By far the best ice cream place I have been to that handles food allergies so well. I have never felt more confident getting any type of ice cream, sundae, or frappe from here. They are amazing! Wish they were open all year long!”

“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.”

“One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to — a secret hole in the wall. Best pad Thai, vegetable spring rolls, and chicken satay! I only wish they would bring back that ginger soup they used to serve each customer before meals during lunch.

Vegetarian options: Great vegetable pad Thai!”

“Thank You so much for the doodle looking cupcakes ever . They were huge hit and obviously tasted amazing.”

“This is a wonderful New York style pizzeria that delivery in the Reading area. Probably best NY style pizza and definitely best calzone place in this area. Wonderful, fresh and generous ingredients, terrific speedy service and always more than enough to feed any size party! This is a HUGE plus for Reading as majority of our restaurants are in that average realm.”

“Great food and great service! Pot of gold mac and cheese with short ribs is amazing. Sweet chili tenders and wings are great option. Don't forget about dessert?”

“The chicken pie with vegetables was delicious! Large pieces of chicken. The sauce was good and the crust cooked to perfection. The apple pie, very good! Not to sweet- apples and crust cooked perfectly.”

“Never had anything bad. But today I had some onion rings with my yummy chicken fingers and I was shocked how delicious they were. I usually only eat two or three rings and I ate them all. So good.”

“I am crazy when we go out to eat because I can't handle a waiter who disappears or cold food. I must say, on 04/06/2024, this Bertucci's in Reading, MA, supplied the best restaurant experience we've had in a LONG time. We go out to dinner every Saturday night and try to go to different places. Have our favorite places with favorite servers with whom we ask to be seated. This evening, we were seated promptly and the server stopped by in less than 5 minutes to see if we wanted appetizers or something to drink. We were given a reasonable amount of time to review the menu and decide on our meals. Being our first time at a Bertucci's, we had a couple of questions and our server patiently and obviously with familiar knowledge, happily answered all of them, to help us decide on our meals. The meals came out with-in a reasonable amount of time for them to be freshly prepared and cooked. When they came out, they were scorching hot, freshly cooked and very flavorful!! Our server, Alcy, was very attentive and friendly. We were given a heads up as he walked by 2 let us know our meals would be out shortly and they were out within 5 minutes from when he told us. He did return about 5 minutes after the meals were delivered to check to see how they were and if we needed anything. That is so important to me. He provided superior service. I can't say enough about this visit and we will definitely return, even though we don't live nearby. On the way out, I felt we had a remarkable visit, so I stopped to speak to the 2 managers. These 2 ladies were so appreciative that I took the time to fill them in on how we felt and explained all about our experience. In addition to the delicious meal and excellent service, the bathrooms were very clean, they had real soap and hot water!! Needless to say, it was a great experience and we hope to go back again sometimes soon. Thank you for making it a great evening!”

“our waitress Nicole was great”

“After trying both Anthony’s Coal Pizza and Sally’s Apizza (in Woburn), I’d definitely come back here because:
1. The staff here is friendly, understanding and hard-working! (People who work here never fail to disappoint customers! They will always be on their best behavior to give you the best experience! Whether it’s take out or dine-in)
2. Quality of food - The pizza here is so much better and tastier! Sally’s pizza feels burnt and more chewy, slices are thin and the pizza itself is overpriced.
3. Accommodating to requests - The online ordering system allows you to add special notes which the staff members take very seriously and follow accordingly! Even after placing the order, you can call them and ask them to change some things, they will happily do it! I love this about them! Sally’s will never have your order ready before time or help you with modifications after the order is placed!
4. Parking and Accessibility - There is plenty of parking and usually this area isn’t as crowded as Woburn Village. Overall time spent in the plaza to pick up the pizza was only about 3-4 minutes, whereas at Sally’s you’ll be waiting anywhere between 10-15 minutes to find a parking spot on a regular day!”

“The best sushi restaurant in the North Shore, bar none! The owners are so friendly and inviting! Food is as fresh as it gets. Please support small businesses like this one! They truly deserve all the praise for their amazing service and high quality sushi”

“Thank You Fusilli’s Cucina On very short notice Fusilli’s put together a great menu for my family. We laid Dad to rest and Fusilli’s added to our comfort and helped us celebrate Dad’s life by providing a great dinner and warm comfortable atmosphere in a private function room. The food was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect finish to a day of consisting of memories, laughs, & tears. Thank you so much. We will most certainly be visiting again.”

“Service was awful we got our drink ordered a appetizer and was asked if we wanted bread we said yes couple of minutes she returned with the bread 20 minutes goes by I flagged her down and asked about the appetizer she said it should be ready Ya no kidding she finally brought it out and took our order. 30 minutes before my wife’s food came out nothing for me for another 10 minutes my wife was halfway done. Your only as good as your help”

“Fun, great atmosphere, friendly & cool staff, live music and outstanding food! The steak is fantastic.”

“I visited after reading several Reddit posts exclaiming that Bagel World offers some of the best bagels in MA. The service was quick, prices were affordable, and they offered several interesting flavors like french toast, asiago everything, and more. Overall, the bagels were solid. I’m not quite at the best bagels in MA, but definitely really good. I would definitely visit again. They also have a drive thru!”

“Delicious”

“I live in Woburn. I started with Mike's,...was eh...then moved on to Pete's which is great...but found Anthonys delivers to Woburn. this is my go to for a beef. and really salads and pizza are great. I go here once a week. funny story. a glitch happened and my food wasn't delivered. never happened before. the woman I spoke to made it right and sent me the 5 sandwiches on an agreed upon day as they were a surprise for my fellow managers. they aren't from here and never had a north shore beef. they were amazed. blown away. they asked me where I got this from. and I know I made them new regulars. you can't get this type of roast beef in Virginia. they were used to Arby's. but anyway...I will continue to be a loyal customer as they are consistent with their food. don't ever change please! great delivery people!! great staff!! thank you!”

“My girlfriend loves this place. It’s warm and friendly. When I visited it made my day. Now I know why she loves and goes out of her way to visit this location.”

“Wicked good coffee - Reading and Tewksbury.”

“Delicious food. It’s the only place I go. Great service very friendly staff. You won’t be disappointed!”
