Our authentic Italian menu showcases dishes made with all-natural ingredients and traditional Abruzzese techniques.

We recommend booking your birthday celebration at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially for weekend dates or larger groups. Our private dining room is popular among Reading families, and advance booking ensures you get your preferred date and time.
For parties during busy seasons like graduation time or the holidays, booking 4-6 weeks ahead gives you the best selection of available dates. When you call, we’ll discuss your group size, preferred timing, and any special menu requests to start planning your perfect celebration.
Early booking also allows our event coordinator more time to customize details like menu selection and room setup to match exactly what you’re envisioning for your special day.

We also offer semi-private options in our main dining room for groups that want some separation without needing the full private space. We’ve been hosting birthday celebrations of all sizes since 2004, so we understand how to make both intimate gatherings and big parties feel special and well-coordinated.

Yes, we provide full-service catering for birthday celebrations at your home, office, or other venues throughout the Reading area. Our off-site catering brings the same authentic Italian cuisine and professional service that makes our restaurant celebrations special.
Our catering menu includes our signature dishes like homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and our famous Grilled Calamari, all prepared in our kitchen and delivered fresh to your location. We can accommodate various party styles, from casual family gatherings to more formal birthday dinners.
The catering service includes complete setup, professional serving staff if needed, and coordination to ensure your off-site birthday celebration runs smoothly.

Parking is convenient and stress-free for your birthday party guests. We’re located in downtown Reading with ample street parking directly in front of and around the restaurant, which is particularly convenient for guests who aren’t familiar with the area.
There’s also a nearby parking lot for larger groups or when street parking fills up during busy times. Most Reading residents find parking easier here than at many other local restaurants, which eliminates one common source of party planning stress.
For guests coming from outside Reading, our downtown location is easily accessible from Routes 93 and 128/95 with clear signage and straightforward directions. We can provide specific parking guidance when you make your reservation, and our staff can direct guests to the best available spots when they arrive for your celebration.
