REVISITED APRIL 2007 I took the opportunity to visit Reggina's along with my husband and Telegraph lunch tokens.  These £5 lunch offers are "a very mixed bag" but knowing we already had had a good experience of dining here some time ago I was hoping for a repeat performance.  I was not disappointed I was still impressed with our lunch, service and surroundings.

The food is delicious - we both had a selection of Bruchettas for starters and followed with Spaghetti Carbonara and Pizza Reggina. We ordered an extra Ceasar salad and a couple of lagers and still only managed to pay £17 for the two of us! Our choices were made from the regular menu. Prices for starters between £6.50-£7.50 and main courses between £14-£15. This restaurant is well worth a visit - freshly prepared food, good service and comfortable surroundings.

I note they now have a web site but not sure how up to date the menus are as the Christmas one is still on there!
Agree with earlier marking Report JI.

MARCH 2004 Reggina's is the more elegant sister of the restaurant Tosca's in Southampton. ( Report on site).  It is nestling in the quaint old village of Botley & is in keeping with its surroundings.  

Very friendly staff & a good atmosphere for so early in the week.  We were 6 dining on a Monday evening for a friend's birthday.  Knowing their portions are ample in size we only had one starter of delicious fresh calamari's fried in a light batter on a bed of green salad and garlic dressing.  This was from the specials board. Their hot and cold starters are too numerous to mention but are priced between £5 and £6.  We were advised of several specials for our main course but 4 decided on a salmon parcel with mascapone and spinach wrapped in filo pastry, absolutely delicious!  I chose calves liver with caramelised onions and bacon ( yummy) and lastly a sirloin steak with pepper sauce.  The first steak was a little tough  but they changed it for a very tender one with no problem.  Our vegetables were cauliflower in a white sauce, a carrot mash and crunchy  sautéed potatoes. 

Although the desserts looked delicious we had organised a birthday cake so did not try them on this occasion.  We had the house white at £11.95 and drinks on arrival, coffees to finish.
