Read moreZí Tore is a wonderful little haven of authentic Italian tradition in the heart of Reading. Tucked away on Union Street, it feels like discovering a cozy secret once you step inside.
We visited for breakfast and were delighted with the Italian coffee and pastries: the Neapolitan "sfogliatelle ricce" were outstanding and so was the Sicilian "cannolo" we took to go. The fragrant fillings and delicate pastry tasted just like the ones you'd find in Italy, clearly made with care and top-quality ingredients.
What makes the experience even more special is Chef Paolo's passion and friendliness. His commitment to homemade processes and authentic flavors truly shines through in every bite. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed start to the day or a meal with friends and family.
If you're looking for genuine Italian flavors paired with cozy charm and heartfelt hospitality, Zí Tore is absolutely worth...
