Villa Marina 18 Thameside, Henley-on-thames RG9 1BH

"This was a great restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the food arrived quickly. The place is clean and comfortable. The food itself is delicious, and I thought the price for the set menu was very fair. I’d particularly recommend the prawns with black pepper for a starter as this was delicious. The espressos were also excellent and traditionally Italian. I would definitely come back here."

"We had the 3 course meal. Food was delicious and staff were super friendly."

"Absolutely fantastic staff 5 stars for service. Food was good for the price... four of us had a starter, main, desert and shared a bottle of white along with a couple of beers and a jd&coke for £280 which seemed a bit much considering the starters were £10 each and were just a small prawn salad... They added a £35 service charge without asking... be wary of that, we usually tip but didn't as they charged for it on the bill. We had fruit flies buzzing around us too which was a tad annoying. However you're definitely paying more for the service here than the plates... it was a nice enough place to eat. Try it."

"Visited on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch. The staff were friendly, attentive and genuine in their demeanour. It was a 3-course meal for £22 per person. Excellent presentation and fresh ingredients with simple preparations to fully bring out the flavours. I had the Mozzarella salad, sea bass, and a chocolate sponge. 10/10 value for money, excellent service, great ambience for a date/meal with friends, delicious food. We will be back for more!"

"Villa Marina is a traditional Italian restaurant overlooking the river. The food was ace, seafood spaghetti to start, prawns were perfectly cooked, squid was a bit over, overall very nice. Main was the special lamb, rare and was cooked correctly, rich gravy and nicely complimented the meat, was not disappointed, accompanied by a selection of veg for the table. Tiramisu, one of the best I’ve tasted in a long time - highly recommend! Service was definitely worth the charge, service was attentive, also was given a finger bowl for my main after staff saw I picking the lamb off the bones, extra credit for that. Reasonably priced. Parking is an issue due to location, there are a few spaces on the road, or a car park 7 mins walk away (free after 7pm)"
