About Bar Reggio

Forget quiet dinners—Bar Reggio brings high-volume trattoria energy straight to Crown Street. Longtime regulars crowd the floor for thin-crust pizzas loaded to the rim, seafood pasta tossed with chili and bacon, and tender octopus salad. The seasoned play: pick up wine from the bottle shop down the block to exploit the four-dollar BYO corkage, ice buckets provided. Floor staff move at rapid speed, routinely leading the entire room of strangers in communal birthday singing before dropping off thick slabs of coffee-soaked tiramisu.

  • High-Energy Atmosphere: Packed tables, loud chatter, and spontaneous room-wide birthday singing create an unapologetic, celebratory gathering space.
  • Budget BYO Corkage: Guests bring their own wine for a minimal corkage fee of around four dollars a head, complete with table ice buckets.
  • Generous Italian Staples: Crowds reliably order edge-loaded thin-crust pizzas, chili-bacon seafood pasta, and octopus salad.
  • Brisk Floor Service: Attentive floor staff dish out plates at rapid pace, keeping tables moving even during peak dining surges.
  • Classic Tiramisu: A menu fixture praised across decades of visits, served in thick, rich slabs to wrap up group feasts.

  • Affordable BYO Wine Freedom

    Guests can bring their own wine bottles for a minimal per-head fee, complete with complimentary ice buckets.

    They only do BYO but it's only $3.99 a head so I was finally able to try the bottle of Chardonnay I bought last year in the Mornington Peninsula. They provided ice in a bucket for the wine.

    I love coming here, devouring the food and leaving with my bank account still intact.

    Decades of steady, rapid kitchen service and bustling trattoria energy deliver a faithful Italian neighborhood experience.

  • Showstopping House Tiramisu

    The kitchen’s signature house dessert consistently caps off the meal on a rich, memorable high note.

    For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, and it honestly ended up being one of the best desserts I’ve ever had.

  • BYO Wine Service

    It was also excellent value as it’s BYO wine.
