Have now been few times on Saturday - great food and service. Everything cooked from fresh so dishes are customisable. Wish it was open on Sunday.

Such an amazing restaurant. My favourite brocheta ever is from here. I?ve been going here for years and when I was younger I was a very picky eater but I always loved every food and drink item I got from here. Staff are so so friendly and welcoming and loving. Definitely feels like a family atmosphere. Lovely location being in a town hall. Love the layout and interior designs. 100% recommend coming here. Lovely for occasions too!

Lovely little Italian restaurant, very good food for the most part - salmon was a touch dry in my penne alla vodka but I'm possibly being a bit picky! Quiet on this visit but that was at lunch, always seems busy in the evenings

There was no atmosphere. Good was below average. Nothing wow. And the prices were too high for the quality of food

Always a warm welcome, excellent food and service.

Always a pleasure coming to this beautiful restaurant. We are regulars, the owner Sabri always makes you feel welcome as soon as you step into the restaurant. Adri the waiter is such a gentleman. The girls are amazing. Service is impeccable. But the food is absolutely divine!! If its fish or a pasta dish or a juicy steak.. everything is always cooked to perfection! The headchef Petro and his team in the kitchen are just wonderful. Keep it up guys!

A lovely gem for Wokingham. Independent, authentic and home-cooked style food and wonderful service.
We enjoyed a mix of standard menu and some chef's specials - bruschetta (standard) and breaded monzerlla (special) starters were both tasty and well sized portions.
Mains included the fillet with gorgonzola sauce (standard), that was outrageously cheesy, packed with bitter tang and creamy indulgence - might be too strong for some! Also a chicken w/ white wine & mushroom sauce (special) - super creamy and unctuous with wonderfully juicy chicken. Solid portions and good sides.
Desserts in the picture - creme brulee (standard) and a passion fruit & limoncello chessecake (special). Both tasty, surprisingly light to not overload on cheese and cream across the meal (impressive given 5/6 dishes had something creamy going on).
Chuck in a beer and bottle of rose, plus tip, for £140 for 2 people isn't a bad price at all. Good independent food can easily cost a lot more and we ate very well. The range of dishes gives a good range of price points - we'll be back to try some pasta dishes for sure, and there's stacks of fish for those who like their seafood.
Atmosphere was comfortable - it was a quiet Monday evening but staff were attentive and caring with all the warming, genuine Italian hospitality you'd hope for. Wokingham is lucky to have a great place like this slap-bang in the middle of town.

Restaurant was very busy and loud but lovely to see for a family-run restaurant! Food was nice and plenty of it!When we booked we were told the table was needed back by a certain time, which we absolutely not a problem. However, service felt rushed with 3 waiters asking for our orders within a very short space of time.As 4 people, we spent just over £150 which was reasonable. However, a nearly £20 optional service charge added to the bill. We asked for the service charge to be removed and immediately the waiter changed his demeanour, did not say anything to us after this not even thank you and walked away - this really dampened our experience.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a charming Italian restaurant located in a landmark building in Wokingham. The highlight was definitely their homemade penne all'arrabbiata with chicken. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the tomato sauce had just the right kick to it, beautifully balancing spice and flavor.The restaurant itself mirrors the tranquil vibe of Wokingham, offering a relaxing and peaceful dining experience. It's a great spot to unwind and savor excellent Italian cuisine.

Piccolo Arco means "little arch", and this cute Italian lives under the arches of Wokingham's town hall, with a possible cheeky reference to the local Tudor architecture in its brutalist black-and-white ceiling. It's small, café-like, but cosy, and on this Tuesday evening the staff were constantly fluttering about without being intrusive.But you're here for food: I had the bruschetta (£6.90) ? we know this is diced tomatoes on toast, but it was a great appetiser, crisp (not crunchy) and well herbed ? then a main course of branzino (sea bass) (£20.90): deliciously simple, served rolling in capers and roasted baby toms. The accompanying seasonal veg were perhaps a shade undercooked (or do we say "al dente"?). Other dishes on offer include veal escalopes and fillet steak al pepe (brandy and peppercorn).Every main dish at P.A. apparently has the choice of veg or fries, which seems nonsensical in some cases (fegato and chips?) but might attract lunchtime snackers. Prices are fair, maybe a little over par, even for Wokingham. Beer (draft vs. bottle) is mysteriously priced, and anyone who remembers that a pint is 568ml might make a sneaky saving."No dessert?" asked my waitress, sounding alarmed. Well, I was perfectly happy, and full, this time, but I think I'll be back. Pleasant atmosphere and quality food. Recommended.Wheelchair accessibility: Toilets are accessible.
