Ive heard people refer to Victors as Italian Fast Food but that isnt fair. The food is inexpensive and served fast. That much is true... but unlike typical fast food the meals here are very good! Check the daily specials. You cant go wrong with the homemade noodles, chicken and spaghetti, pizza and fresh baked bread courtesy of the local ATV Bakery. You may have to wait for a table if you show up at peak dinner time but they keep people moving. And well fed.

Best pizza anywhere as well as everything else. Excellent servers, very kind and patient with a large crowd. Its always fun to go back home to Reading when it includes a visit to Victors!

Pizza for an appetizer?! Yes please!! We went here while we were visiting a friend in the area and wow! The food is amazingly good, amazingly fast, and ridiculously cheap! This place was so awesome! The lasagna was really thick with ricotta and tasted amazing, the sausage was great, and the gnocchi was also amazing. We also got a small salad with our meal which was tossed with an amazing house dressing. This place is a gem!

The food is consistently good, value priced and I do not mind waiting for a table during peak times. However, the wait staff service was a is also. They could make a lot more money if they had more wait staff and turned tables quicker. Waited 25 minutes for a waitress tonight only for her to take the order of a table sat after us. We walked out. I’d stick to takeout if you are hungry for Italian food!

I love this place. Ive been going there since I was a kid. It reminds me of my grandmothers kitchen. The white pizza with tomatoes and garlic is one of my favorites, as is the veal scallopini. There are daily specials including homemade pasta on two day. Membership is required and you have to get that in person. Its initially $10.00 and then $5.00 a year to renew.

This is a private club that is a Italian restaurant. The food is incredible from the salad to the specials. They have a square pizza that you order by the slice, it is awesome. They do have take out(haven’t done it yet). It is cash only(ATM on site). They do get very busy and sometimes there is a wait but it does seem to move pretty quick.

Ive been going since the mid 90s. This place still has one of the best slices. Lasagna dinner is always a go-to for me. I mainly get to-go rather than dining in.

Victors is my familys number one, go-to restaurant for our family dinners out. Their pizza, their salad and the atmosphere cannot be matched. My husband loves Fridays for eggplant parm, and they have a nice kids menu. I have been going to Victors since I was a child, and now love taking my kids. In all our years, weve never had a bad waitress or negative experience.

Go early on weekends and its perfectly quiet and youll be sure to get your food quickly. Or, you can call ahead for delicious take out; they do a lot of take out! Great side room for parties and not sure how they work outside pavilions, but it would be a great place for outside event! You must be a member to enjoy this place.

I went to this restaurant two weeks ago, it was horrible. I ordered pizza it was impossible to eat that .. it smelled and tasted like yeast the completely sour. The mushroom was from can . I tried only two chews and I my stomach was bad all day. I have tried pizzas in different places, I never ate something so horrible, I thought that being an Italian restaurant would be of good quality. My husband ate a pasta with clams, it looked like a soup .. Awful.

Food is always good. Service leaves a lot to be desired. None of those waitresses move too fast. Time to get some new faces, who can speed it up.

Review №62

The food is always very good - we particularly like the pizza, the salad with cheese, and the ravioli. Nothing fancy, but reminds me of home cooking. Been gong for years, and will keep going as long as the building is standing. Note: there is a $5 membership fee (good for the year) to get in. Totally worth it.

My family and I have been members of Victor Emmanuels for generations. As a child my family brought me here and now I take my kids here. They have really good, fresh made Italian food. They also have a full service bar. Tip for travelers: This is a club. You have to be a member in order to eat here or be accompanied by a member of the club.

Love the food, love the prices. Not a big fan of all the tables they have crammed in there and they could use some booths along the walls to change things up a little bit. Cash only, neutral on that one.

Review №74

While the food is great and cheap its important to mention that this is an Italian members only club. However, they never even ask to see proof of membership unless you are young or non-white. Youll feel horrible for supporting a business (oops! I mean club!) like this, but you cant argue with delicious.

Review №75

The place has very good Italian Food, and is a great place to congregate with family for celebratory events.One of the waitresses, (I think her name was Julia), likes to mess with the patrons a lot and joke around. This is funny in the beginning, but she continues to push the issue sometimes, against the wishes of the person shes, heckling. I wish this would change.UPDATE: Was here as of recent, and Mary Ann was a very wonderful waitress. She was accommodating, and quick on her feet!
