I really wish I was better about leaving reviews. So with that being said, I have to give so much credit to the good folks over at Fusilli's in Reading. It was my first time there with some epic company and they were one of the few places open during yesterday's snow storm. They were all so personable, smiling, engaging, checked on me constantly and working their tails off despite being open during the storm. We got the arancini and cheesy garlic bread with some cocktails. That garlic bread was so insanely delicious. Everything was but it stood out. I just appreciate the service industry so much and we tend to forget they have to work all day and then go shovel out. Hats off to you all. I'll easily be back -Jonathan read more

I love the food at Fusilli's especially the shrimp fra diavoli. I haven't ordered anything else because I love that dish so much, but I would be curious about any recommendations regarding the veal chop. read more

Great service. Trish is the best!!! Bartenders make great drinks. Food excellent!! Always treated by friendly staff. Good place to meet people. Oyster Monday great!! read more

Fusilli's Cucina - New American Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

Went on a Monday night. It's a nice family restaurant but... Unfortunately, our experience was ruined by a rude group of men, especially one loud-mouthed poser who constantly swore and went out of his way to draw attention to himself. What made it worse was that the poser seemed to be with his equally rude wife, who encouraged the behavior rather than calming it down. Their combined attitude was obnoxious and disruptive, making the environment uncomfortable for everyone around them. It's disappointing because no one goes out expecting to have their experience overshadowed by such immature and disrespectful conduct. Management should be more attentive to how behavior like this affects other guests. read more

So, we have been to this location multiple times and have always loved it. Tonight was just awful! It was legit empty and we sat for 15 minutes then finally we were asked our drink order, we got an app that came with dipping sauce and two entrées or what we thought were entrées my daughter in fact got a child's meal and she does not even look like a child and I did not ask for a child's meal myself. I got a pasta dish with chicken and 90% of the chicken was overcooked and chewy. Then when we went to leave, our meals are packed fine, but our appetizer was packed with the truffle fries on top of the aïoli, instead of the aïoli being packed in a plastic ramekin, so the fries are trash you can't even reheat them. Again, I am a multiple visit customer and I probably will never be back. Very disappointed. read more

Great service, fair prices and above average food. The pizza was fresh and salty, the fries were crispy and hot, the stuffed mushrooms were great, and the drinks were strong. read more

Food is generally very good. Went for lunch and had a sandwich and my wife got a salad. Waited over 40 minutes for food. It wasn't very busy so I can only guess just not enough people in the kitchen. read more

Will not go back, do not recommend. I've passed this place alot and the parking lot is always full....people must go for the bar. There was no hostess when we arrived and a dirty drinking cup on the stand. 6-7 minutes later a waitress came out and seated us. It was 10 minutes before we had anyone come over. Other tables that were sat after us had service. When she did come over she was super sweet, but didn't recite the specials like we heard with other tables. (Truth be told we had had more than enough time to look at the menu so we knew what we wanted). Nothing about the atmosphere was cohesive. mismatched salt/pepper shakers, plates, spots on flatware. The lights were super bright and then were turned down low. Bread was brought out with a bowl of sauce sitting on top of butter packets. Unfortunately I got a call for a family emergency and we had to ask for our food to go (after waiting for 20 min with an empty drink for our food). A woman came over, I assume the manager, didn't introduce herself (was wearing a t shirt) and asked "is there a problem" and while we were explaining we just had to leave, took our plates and never looked at us. Our food was packed well and we left. When we sat down to eat later, the food was well cooked but under seasoned. read more

Love this restaurant, but unfortunately a regular bar customer consistently ruins the atmosphere. He is loud, refuses to sit, sulks if he doesn't get a specific corner spot, uses profanity, and makes inappropriate comments toward staff. At times he is accompanied by his wife, and when he is with his male friends the behavior becomes even more disruptive, making the bar especially uncomfortable for employees and other patrons. I'm not the only one--other guests have said they avoid the bar when he's present. Staff and management should not have to put up with this behavior. read more

Went with a group of 12 & everyone's order came out as advertised, good portions and delicious. We all left very pleased

Food was just ok. Nothing great. Salad family style was a nice touch. Saturday night 8 pm bar is super quiet. 4 of us $250 and they were cleaning up pulling chairs from the bar sweeping and shut music off lights on bright at 9:15 and they close at 10. First time and last time there. Can't wait to see what goes in that spot next because there is no way that this restaurant will be around long. read more

Fusilli's Cucina - 9:15 on a Saturday. I like getting out early from work like the rest of them-but cmon they were pulling all empty chairs lol - New American Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

Awesome food reasonable prices.Their Seafood was fresh and very tasty.Nice family owned business that we should give our support to.

Excellent food & drinks. Great atmosphere and our server, Ryan, was out standing!! Easy parking, attractive decor. read more

My visit was with a group on Sunday night, 23rd February. The food was typical Italian - nothing to write home about. My issue was the furniture (specifically the tables) were in bad need of sanding and painting. Chipped and scratched tables harbor germs. That's no small fault these days. As the nigh went on the manager turned off the heat. It was a freezing cold night out and all of us asked them to turn on the heat which they did not do.. We were forced to keep our coats on. read more

Mrs. StoneOLD and I really enjoyed our meal at Fusilli's Cucina. We both had Chicken Marsala with fresh Pappardelle Pasta. It was really delicious. The Marsala Sauce was pleasantly sweet, as it should be. It included the right amount of Prosciutto to balance the sweetness with saltiness and ample Fresh Mushrooms and Baby Spinach. The Pappardelle was al dente. A very well executed meal that we'll definitely be back for. The Service was a different story. Our Server was basically inattentive and MIA for the most part. I've seen other Reviewers mentioning Family Sized Salad and Bread. We never saw either and our Server wasn't around for us to ask. Could be that those items aren't offered with Lunch? Still a good experience and recommended. read more

Haven't been there since they remodeled, but have been there a lot in the past few years. I always sit in the bar, which I believe they dramatically increased the size of in their remodel. Great bartenders. They always have a new specialty martini, the bar tenders are always willing to get a little creative Their chicken marsala is one of my favorites in the greater Boston area. There are a few better, but not many. I get it almost every time I go. If I don't get that, I get pizza, which is also very good. I've had the chicken parm, also a good choice. My wife loves the chicken francese, it's one of her favorite dishes in the area as well. She usually gets that. The salad that comes with the dinners is outstanding. Desert - the limoncello cake is utterly amazing, so light, with tons of flavor. read more

Had the best meal , service was outstanding, highly recommended it, the bolognese was delicious I have been looking for a place that had a good now I have , and the chicken Marsala was delicious also and we loved how we got the family size style salad and bread it was just a great night. read more

First visit - pretty good food and service Generous portions for the price. Will try again

I drove by this place a lot and always wanted to try it. I finally did and Im kicking myself for not trying it sooner. Absolutely delicious sauce. Tender delicious veal. Amazing fresh pastas (I had the fettuccini). Great house salad dressing. Great portion/price ratio. Great service. Unfortunately the meatballs were gross. read more

Food delicious, service friendly. A frequent diner. I once booked a lunch for 12 people and every single person enjoyed their food beautiful new bar in the main dining area! read more

Went for lunch on a Thursday Good sized space but dark Waited for a comfy booth Clearly understaffed Food was decent Tried the meatballs as an appetizer I thought they were too hard -didn't like them my husband likes them I had chicken Parmesan husband had the veal Parmesan we both like it They give you bread without asking The waitress was very nice but needed help The other waitress was waiting tables and tending the bar. A bit much read more

I hadn't been in a few years but thought I'd try again. I was surprised to see the bar where the dining room used to be. I had the roasted chicken and it was great! The salad that came with it was a nice small salad the rest of the portions were enough to bring home for lunch the next day. I'm coming back! read more

stopped by Sunday for. quick lunch. the food was amazing the staff was outstanding want to send a giant shout out to Cole, Dina, Maria and Melissa for such a wonderful experience this is. must try spot. We got stuffed clams which wis fiddled with real sea food best I have ever had anywhere. My partner got baked Pini with meatballs. the meatballs are homemade and excellent. We will definitely be back and will tell every we know to visit read more

First time visiting Fusillis. Had a small reunion with two old friends and decided to meet here. Beautiful night. Restaurant side was under construction but the bar side was open with sliding glass doors open to the space with some outside seating. Upon arrival, bartender was friendly and greeted us and said we could seat wherever we wanted. They had a good crowd as the night went on. Our server Kristen, was very friendly and attentive. She brought us a family style salad and fresh bread for starters. We did stay quite a while (catching up) but were never rushed. Food was great. We ordered Italian wedding soup, meatball appetizer, 4 cheese pizza and chicken saltimbocca with fresh fusilla pasta (small upcharge). We were all thrilled with the food (sorry no pics). Great night and we'll be back. read more

We went to lunch at Fusilli today. We ordered chicken cutlet romano and chicken piccata. Quality and and quality were great and the service ceased also great. Looking forward to going back. read more

Food was great as always. The service was horrible. There was only one other couple in the new dining room when we got there. It slowly filled up and to my surprise everyone got their food before us. I don't usually complain but the waitress was terrible. Very disappointed. Probably won't go back for a long while. They need to get better help. read more

If you are looking for your next dinner spot, check this place out! Love the vibe, and location - right off 95. Staff is always extremely friendly and accommodating. Monday's they have a seafood special for dollar oysters, and shrimp cocktail...what's not to love about that? They have a large menu so there's something for everyone - I really enjoyed my gnocchi and my man got the vinegar pepper pork chop - yum. The family style salad they include with every entrée is a nice touch. Our waiter was the real deal true italiano, the dining room brings you back in time with round booths and give off those dark moody vibes. Support Local! Bravo! read more

The service was horrendous even though we were the first table there The bartender paid more attention to us than the waitress. I ordered Italian Wedding soup; which was so thick it wS like stew. It seemed like it wS day old. The main course was vinegar peppers, onions, sweet sausage and pork chop. Extremely dry and hard to chew. The Marsala was nothing to write here about. NEVER AGAIN. WASTE OF TIME (2 1/2 HOURS) AND MONEY. CANT EVEN GIVE IT A STAR read more

Fusillis has completely revamped! We are over the moon excited to have such a great establishment here in town. They just added a massive bar that hosts more than 30 people and waitstaff is exceptional. Just had the smelt appetizer and the snowball martinis which has brought us back here for years. A loyal and respectful staff, we will be back very soon! read more

Love what they did with the renovations. Enjoyed a great lunch, service and food (haddock and filet)was excellent

3 strikes and you're out. Let me explain, and start off by saying I just moved to Reading and bought my home across from this restaurant and REALLY wanted to like them but 3 consecutive bad experiences has made that impossible. First visit we are denied a spot in the bar despite the fact that more than half the tables were vacant, so we left. Second trip we only came over for a couple drinks but showed up a half hour before closing so were refused any service. It doesn't take me but 10 minutes to whistle down a Guinness so this was obviously a bummer. Third visit was the straw that broke the camel's back. The wife and I showed up early for drinks and were allowed to sit at the bar (hooray!) but were immediately accosted by the female bartender about ordering food. We said maybe later but after ordering our second round were told we needed to order food if we were going to stay so I said I'd order a pizza in a bit (planning to bring home to the kid) and this obviously irritated the bartender. When we attempted to order a third (and final) round of drinks the bartender asked us directly if we planned on eating or not, and "reminded" us this was a restaurant. She was beyond rude and it was extremely embarrassing, as if she thought we were planning on skipping out on paying the tab. Needless to say we ordered the pizza and paid our tab and left. Before leaving she attempted to tell us she didn't mean to be rude, but all too little too late. I will never go back to this place and would not recommend it to anyone who wants to feel welcome in a new spot. Again, super bummed on all this cos I live directly across the street and was hoping to find "our" spot. read more

Gitano was our server for tonight. I really enjoyed his humorous attitude and friendliness. Was a lovely atmosphere, chicken alfredo was scrumptious. No complaints ! Would recommend to a friend. read more

Highly recommend the food here. Not the fanciest or most authentic, but we're local and love this spot when we're not looking for a heavy Italian meal from one of the other nearby Italian restaurants. You can get a chicken park sandwich, a nice salad, or split a few apps or a pizza (which is always great). The one thing I'll say that could use improvement is the bar menu. We often decide to go elsewhere if we're looking to have a few cocktails, as the drinks aren't very good. The bartenders will swear by the bar menu, but it's mostly overly sweetened/super boozy type drinks. Most of the bad reviews here are "They were closing soon", or "the bar was full", but I'd say 4 stars is a fair review all things considered! Would do a half extra star if I could! read more

I'm sure there's much better options on the menu than pizza but when I got home and opened my pizza, it had massive air pockets that pushed the cheese into collection pools. This pizza should never have been put into a box and sold to me. They should be ashamed. read more

Fusilli's Cucina - No, I did not order massive air pockets on my Truffle Mushroom Pizza. Poor quality check - New American Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

Went for an early dinner last night and wasn't sure what to expect due to mixed reviews. Well we loved it! The menu has plenty of choices and they offer fresh pasta. I got the fresh fusilli with pomodoro sauce and breaded chicken cutlet. It was ginormous -- I am not exaggerating when I say that it was at least four servings in one deep dish bowl! The family style salad that comes with entrees was very good as well. Warm bread served with butter and a side of their warm marinara sauce was a nice addition to our meals as well. My entree was only $19.99 for fresh pasta and salad and a huge doggie bag -- a deal that can't be beat. Service was pleasant and excellent. Ambiance lovely as well. I was impressed and would not hesitate to return. read more

I absolutely love their fungi pizza. I've ordered it multiple times and it's been crispy and delicious each time. Definitely a new fav. read more

Fusilli's Cucina - Dinner Truffle Mushroom Pizza - New American Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

Considering it is takeout, Fusilli's did a great job with our order last night. Food was ready exactly when they told us to pickup. We ordered pork chops, vinegar and peppers which was outstanding! Flavor was to die for. The petite tenderloin was cooked perfectly & so tender! Everything was packaged tightly & separately so it stayed hot til we got home. Definitely return for these two entrees! read more

Booked a reservation for 3:00pm on a Sunday afternoon. Arrived to find the restaurant had very good sized function going in the dining room. They seated us and I assumed the function would end soon. An hour later it did. Why didn't they tell us the function went until 4:00pm and we would have booked a little earlier / later. It's not right to pay $25/plate to sit in a kid's birthday party. read more

The service was not good. Ordered a salad and my wife ordered an app, we asked if they would be served at the same time. My wife watched me eat my salad. Then her app appeared. Repeated requests for water, bread and drinks were very nonchalantly ignored if not wrong. Martinis were both spilled when delivered and not wiped up. Very basic dirty martini was awful. The room was cold with a breeze. The restroom was freezing an unkempt. Never again.vorre7-maxkiv-wUkgot read more

Good food and good service. Was quiet and able to enjoy a nice meal without feeling rushed. No complaints,
