Victor Emmanuel II Beneficial Society — Restaurant in Reading

Very good food and great prices. It can get little crowded waiting but the food is very good and worth the wait! Full bar on the premises and the specials are fantastic. Food is authentic Italian with a good staff that serves quickly. I had the lasagna which has no meat so add the meatballs! Very good and plenty of cheese. The raviolis are equally large, and loaded with cheese. The sauce is great if not a bit basic. The fried calamari is done perfectly, not chewy, but soft and buttery. Salads only have oil and vinegar dressing but a lot of cheese! Delicious! The pizza there is worth a slice or two and there are plenty of toppings to be had. Getting them as a starter is always good, Ive found. Desserts are all good, I had the cannoli and it brought back memories of traipsing through Little Italy from my child hood. Family friendly and worth the fee if you can get a membership! Highly recommended! Update: visited again and where else can you get anchovies on your cheese salad???? White pizza has chopped tomatoes and was very good! Calamari was definitely not chewy! Another good night with food and great service. Roasted half chicken was very good and this trip showed how good the service was. There was copious meatballs that...

It's not made to order for each customer and fresh out of the oven. Some of the entrees come out lukewarm also. The kitchen delivers the food to a counter and the food does not always get picked up by the waitresses quick enough. Not having my food served hot is my pet peeve. Food tastes better served hot!! This has happened to us over and over, so we just...

The food is really good and the prices are great! Don't even get me started on the service. I have gone here ever since my dad took me as a child and never had a problem, the service has always been awesome! As kids we always hated the wait but it was always worth it. If there is a problem they will make it right. They recently started accepting new members and they let me join. I had to wait a week or two to pick up my membership card but I was able to eat there the first night when I applied for it. If you like Italian food you just got to try...
