Burrata, the cheese, is a pouch of fresh mozzarella filled with a dreamy, creamy concoction that flows like melting butter, teasing your taste buds with its rich texture and flavor. Like its namesake, Burrata, the new restaurant at 425 White Plains Rd. in Eastchester, tempts your senses with its sophisticated, minimalist décor, exotic aromas and, most of all, an array of palate-pleasing menu selections.   Make no mistake.  This is no pizzeria.  It’s a dining experience that rivals some of Manhattan’s finest bistros, with its enormous wood-fired Hearth oven dominating the open kitchen and a full bar offering fine wines, including delightful house reds and whites, a wide array of premium liquors and one of the finest Negroni Cocktails this side of the Via Veneto.    Its subtle “white on grey” atmosphere offers a perfect background for the bustle of the attentive wait staff and an ideal setting for the impressive selection of colorful, super-savory appetizers and side dishes that dot the table tops.   The only thing about Burrata that does not live up to expectations is the size of the check. It will make you feel that you got way more than you could have hoped for.  And, you know what?  You will! less

At first glance this seemed like a strange combination, however after experiencing it you realize they work quite well together here. Jimmy's love of good quality and great tasting food shows in every aspect of the menu. Everytime I go in there I have to resist the urge to order one of everything on the menu, I just want to try it all. My personal favorites are the large all meat BBQ chicken burrito, and the Italian Chicken Sandwhich. The meat is cooked and seasoned to perfection. The only complaint I have is that the ordering techniques changes everytime I go in there so it gets a little confusing. Other than that I love that they added a beatiful outside seating area, right next to the large BBQ so you get that wonderful smoked chicken and beef smell and it's always fun to watch the  magic being made. This is definately a place I plan to visit many more times to come. The food is delisous and the staff is always very friendly and accomodating. less

This great deli or I should say sandwich restaurant located at Village Square in Wyomissing is worth going to if you have some extra money to spend. The food is really good. I have had the tomato soup in the bread bowl which was really filling, and my favorite is the Penguin club. The reason I absolutely love this turkey and ham club is because the meat is sliced so thin! At diners, when i order a turkey club, the turkey comes sliced so thick I almost want to ask for gravy and a side of mashed potatoes and just have Thanksgiving early. Back to the soup  for all you bread bowl lovers- they don't give you a wimpy bread, they actually serve your soup in a crusty bread that has grilled cheddar cheese on the outside. How can you go wrong with that? I've also tried their side of tortellini salad. It is creamy and has flavor! Just surprising that a chain if you will, has pretty fresh and light food. I love their complimentary pickled vegetables as well. If you are not a fan of vegetables, or the word pickled, you will change your mind after you visit here. My only gripe is that it is a little pricey, but it's worth it once in a while for a splurge. less

So I took a friend to the Speckled Hen because I heard a lot of good reviews. It is right next to Judy's on Cherry (same owner) and since Judy's on Cherry is a little too eclectic for my taste at this moment, Speckled Hen it was.

So I took a friend to the Speckled Hen because I heard a lot of good reviews. It is right next to Judy's on Cherry (same owner) and since Judy's on Cherry is a little too eclectic for my taste at this moment, Speckled Hen it was. This place is a great little cozy restaurant that makes you feel like you are in a pub somewhere other than downtown Reading. The decor upstairs reminded me of a jazz bar in NYC and the downstairs where we actually ate made me think of a little bistro in Europe where you can sit outside and enjoy your fare. Even though it was indoors, I have to give it to the owner for the great and comfortable decor. Let's get to the food. So I am a huge fan of blue cheese burgers, so I had to order that. My next visit I will try the crab cake sliders, but none the less, the food was awesome! The burger had great char-grilled flavor, and the blue cheese was not overpowering. Not only was it mouth watering to look at, it didn't sit heavy in my stomach either. The accompanying fries were delicious as well. They didn't taste oily  like at some joints where the grease is dripping from the napkins they sit on. I am almost tempted to say that I love this place, but I only been here once. The prices are great for this quality food. Yes, I know, I know, I got the burger, but it sure felt like a thousand dollar burger in my mouth! I can't wait to go here again. Oh, and to those who are first taking their dates out on a first date, I highly recommend this place. You will not go broke, and you will feel like you are out of town! less

What's not to like? Mondays and Wednesdays are wings night! The Pike Cafe has the best wings in town, and this is coming from someone who does not like wings.

What's not to like? Mondays and Wednesdays are wings night! The Pike Cafe has the best wings in town, and this is coming from someone who does not like wings. I think it's their sauces that did it for me. I always order 30, yes 30 wings because I need to taste various sauces. The minimum on wing night is 10 per order/sauce. I usually get stuck on the Sweet n Sour, but I have tried pretty much tasted all the sauces. The Teriyaki and Hot are for me the best. Parmesan Peppercorn is good too but that will sit heavy in your stomach if you do devour all ten wings. Personally, I can't finish 30 wings, but I do have a record of 22 thus far. Besides wings, they have great french fries loaded with cheese, onions, and salsa on the side! Those are the Pike Fries. I can never get enough of their crab dip. And I am glad they do not have all you can eat Funnel Cake Sticks night. Basically, anything off their menu is delicious. If you have a craving for awesome bar food, go here! Even if you are watching your weight, they have the best salads! Very generous in portions and the prices are just right! less

ALEBREJE on 5th Street Highway! I have tried the other top 3 mexican themed restaurants in Reading, and Alebreje located on 5th Street Highway is by far the best. Don't let the location fool you. Yes it is where Wendy's and Subway is also located, but ignore those. For the best Horchata in town, which is rice water, yes rice water, it is surprisingly refreshing and sweet. If you aren't into sweet, try one of their margaritas. Some of my favorite dishes are the empanadas. It is an appetizer, but they give you 2 whole ones cut in halves with just enough salsa, salsa verde, and guacamole. Don't forget the sour cream. The Caldo Tlalpeno soup is for those who have a stomach for spice. This is basically a chicken soup, times it by 10 for liveliness! It contains chipoltle chilis, avocado, cheese, and of course chicken. Even though this is so far a soup and appetizer, try to slow it down from the free warm tortilla chips and salsa they also provide to enjoy an actual meal. The enchiladas are good, the chicken chimichanga is the greatest! It tastes like fried chicken, except wrapped in a fried flour tortilla topped with melted cheese and of course refried beans, rice, and a mix of tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, and sour cream. By this time, your belly should feel like it needs to explode, even though you want more because it just all tastes so good. If you want to skip soup and appetizer and stay away from fried food, then order the Carne Asada. This is the best thinly sliced beef steak, although they give you so much you can't even tell it's thinly sliced. Served with warm tortillas, this will surely hit the spot. Don't forget dessert. Of course you can't go wrong with fried ice cream. If you can't decide, they have mix and match items as well. Anything from tacos, tostados, burritos, fajitas, etc. You name it, they got it. I just learned they finally put Sopes on the menu so I am heading there tomorrow to try those next! If you are wondering why this place beats all the other mexican joints in town, it's because their food tastes like it was made with love, and it all tastes fresh, not like a chain where everything is pretty much a line of plopping ingredients that a chain recipe calls for. Trust me, you will not be disappointed here! less
