Our group of friends was visiting the Island of Ischia and one member of our group told us the most amazing story about this small restaurant in Pompeii where three years prior he had eaten one of the best meals of his life and was treated so well by Roberto when they needed help leaving the city later that evening. We decided we all wanted to spend the last day of our trip in Pompeii and find Roberto to try this food again. In the service industry, so many clients come and go day in and day out so we were not sure if Roberto would remember our friend. After all three years is a long time and although they had an amazing experience who knew what would happen. Towards the end of our meal when most patrons were trickling out John asked Roberto if he remembered that night. Not only did he remember in vivid detail the day John was talking about, but he remembered the parties first names and what he served them. Roberto truly serves his food from the heart. It is amazing the amount of attention he gives to each guest and his recommendations from the menu. I am lucky to have met him and tried his food-- which was amazing (my favorite was the gnocchi and rum baba but it was all delicious!) but more so to relive a great moment with a friend while we had a night to remember of our own. Do not pass up on this restaurant while you are in town! read more

We experienced one of the finest dinners of a lifetime! More than three hours of exquisite local tastes, service and personal discussions with owner Roberto delighted us two couples. We asked Roberto to bring out his favorite selections and started an amazing feast. The appetizers included prosciutto and melon that must have arrived from heaven. Bruschetta, olives, octopus, bufala mozzarella rounded out the first tasting with a house wine that was smooth and complex at the same time. After the perfect amount of time for relaxed conversation, the primo arrived. Hand-made pasta that melts in your mouth with sauce that is subtle and divine. Luckily, the delicious house wine continued to flow, but we never had an uncomfortable tipsy feeling. Unbelievably, we were able to enjoy secondo. This included grilled meats and vegetables seasoned perfectly with fresh local salad mixings. Finally, three hours from when we entered, an incredibly light and tasty ricotta/pear house specialty soufflé and cappuccino completed the feast. Then a delightful conversation with Roberto over an Amaro Lucano digestivi ended a perfect evening in Pompeii. The Scavi is an amazing experience that deserves to be paired with an evening at Add'u Mimi's Trattoria. Both provide memories for a lifetime. read more

Wir waren im Juli 2017 nach zwei Jahren wieder im Add'u'Mimi' und es waren erneut sehr schöne, entspannte Abende, mit gewohntem herzlichem Empfang, sehr gutem Essen, einem sehr guten Hauswein und alles zu sehr fairen Preisen. Man kann während des Essens in Ruhe entscheiden, wie viele Gänge man essen möchte und dadurch einen angenehmen Abend ohne Hektik genießen. Das Familienunternehmen wird hier groß geschrieben, der Vater läd einen höflich zum Essen im Restaurant ein und zwar nicht aufdringlich wie man es aus Touristenrestaurants kennt! Man darf sich nicht vom leeren, unklimatisierten Raum, vor dem er sitzt abschrecken lassen, denn das Restaurant und die Terasse befinden sich dahinter und man wird persönlich dorthin gebracht. Das ist auch ein Grund, warum jemand vor der Tür sitzt und dort gehen auch Einheimische essen ;-). Der Sohn spricht neben italienisch auch sehr gut englisch und streut hin und wieder ein deutsches Wort ein. Er ist bei jedem Besuch sehr freundlich gewesen und man hat sich jederzeit herzlich willkommen gefühlt. Beim nächstem Aufenthalt im schönen Pompei werden wir sicher wieder dorthin gehen. read more

This was my first trip to Italy. A couple of people I work with recommended the place and told me even though I wasn't staying or going to Pompei for activities I needed to make the trip and man were they right. It was a busy Saturday night and we were seated right away. As soon as we sat the owner Roberto came over and greeted us. He was extremely personable and made you feel like you have been friends for years. Our order was taken and despite being crowded the wait was not long for food at all. He recommended the fish and when it came to the table it was so fresh I swore they went out and caught it because we just ordered it. While eating you can see Roberto cared about his restaurant he was over talking and joking with every person in the place.It felt really authentic. My girlfriend and I could not stop talking about the place the rest of the trip and compared every other restaurant we ate at to Add'u Mimi and they did not compare at all. It is a must go to if you're ever in Pompei or any town even remotely close to the restaurant. I can't wait for my next trip back to visit read more

We just returned from our second visit to Addu Mimi. We had a wonderful dinner there 3 days ago. That night, Roberto was attentive, informative and engaging. Everything the other reviewers have said was true. When we returned tonight, Roberto remembered our first names, what table we sat at and what we had ordered. Amazing. The menu is excellent, the food fresh, abundant and delicious. The service is outstanding and the price is right. Go there, not only for the best food in Pompeii, but for the pleasure of meeting Roberto. This is a truly amazing experience. Don't miss it. PS, don't feel intimidated about going in if it looks like no one is in the restaurant. At this time of year (Feb-Mar), most of the patrons are in the rear part of the restaurant. You pass through the front, then a court yard then the rear part. Thanks, Roberto. Tony & Judy read more

Agradecer a Roberto y a todo el equipo la atención y el trato que recibimos. No conocimos en todo Nápoles a nadie tan volcado a crear un ambiente agradable. La comida excelente. Pedimos el vino de la casa (la botella por sólo 5 euros) y nos pareció delicioso. Nos enteramos de que muchas personas vuelven al día siguiente de haberlo probado a comprar botellas. Buena pasta al dente, personalizada, y bistec con salsa típica napolitana. Lo mismo hay que decir del postre: tomamos una tarta hecha de un queso cremoso y pera, algo que nunca habíamos probado. Al terminar la cena nos invitaron a limoncello preparado por ellos mismos. En cuanto al local, de lo mejorcito que vimos en Pompeya. Estuvimos cenando en la terraza, pero había opción de escoger sala climatizada o no. 100% recomendado si deseas el mejor recuerdo gastronómico de Pompeya! read more

EXCELLENT. This is not just a restaurant, it's an experience. Roberto is amazing and the food is phenomenal (the house wine and limoncello are the best my husband and I had throughout our entire stay in Italy). Not only is the restaurant itself 5 stars, Roberto goes above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable. My husband was previously deployed and Roberto had showed him such kindness he returned with me 4 years later and Roberto remembered my husband and every detail of the night he was there 4 years prior. We spent our night trying what seemed like almost all of the dishes (and all equally amazing), reminiscing, and making memories we will truly never forget. We hope to have the opportunity to return again. If you are visiting Italy you HAVE to write this in to your itinerary. Thank you, Roberto!!! -Kaley & Caton read more

We found this place through our friends, who had stumbled upon it the day before. They raved about it to us (and here on Yelp) so when we finished with our ruins viewing we headed over hoping that we had not missed lunch. We were (barely) in time and enjoyed one of the very best meals of our trip to Italy. The dishes were superb! Their house wine delicious. At the end of the meal we were treated to the very best Limoncello that we have ever tasted. Roberto makes it himself and, even though it is not his favorite, it is super. The taste of lemon is natural and perfectly balanced. This is the first time that I have been moved enough by a restaurant to write a review. This one is worth going out of your way to visit, though if you are at the ruins anyway, it is not far from the Amphitheater entrance/exit. read more

We spent seven days in Pompei a week ago. We always try to avoid typical tourist restaurants and search for places where Italians eat. This way we found Add'u Mimi Trattoria (traditional family restaurant since 1825) in Via Roma and Roberto, it's very nice owner. Finally we had dinner there every evening except when he was closed. We were delighted by his fresh pasta's, fish, meat and not to speak about desserts. Roberto explained the dishes both in Italian and in English. We reclined completely on his offerings. On our last evening he served a fantastic menu of 6 courses. We also have to add that all these to absolute affordable prices. We will recommend this nice place to everyone who visits Pompei or surroundings not to miss a wonderful gastronomic experience! read more

The experience at this restaurant was beyond amazing. The food and hospitality here was so good that my friends and I came here twice in one day. If you visit Pompeii, in my opinion you absolutely MUST come to this restaurant. The host was so personable and kind. He explained the preparation of the food so well that we just wanted to get everything. For lunch we had seafood pasta, mixed grilled seafood and pasta with eggplants and tomatoes. All 3 were incredible. For dinner I had the veal. Calamari for appetizer. Both delicious. Dessert here is spectacular, loved the buffalo ricotta with pear cake!! This was the best place we have been to in all of Italy. Loved the experience and if I am ever back in Pompeii I will be sure to visit. read more

A great restaurant in Pompeii. We had such a wonderful lunch here yesterday that we had to come back for dinner and are headed back again tonight! Best place to eat in Pompeii, hands down. We were treated like family the moment we walked in the door. Roberto and company left nothing to be desired. My wife had the best gluten free pasta here since arriving in Italy two weeks ago. The house wine is wonderful. You can't beat the price either! 5 euro for a bottle! Very great food at even better prices. You can't put a price on being treated like family and not a tourist. Roberto is a genuinely good guy who cares about each and every one of his customers. A+. read more

Like me, if you are a foodie who likes to eat like a local, a visit to Add'u' Mimm' is a must to taste the local cuisine in Pompeii. We came in late Sunday afternoon and we chose the same appetizer which was the octopus in tomato sauce. The first course were homemade spaghetti with mozzarella in tomato sauce and the seafood fettuccini For desserts we tried the winner of the local dessert competition which was the Ricotta e pere. The desserts is not to be missed. Light and smooth and not too sweet that enhance the delicate tastes. This is a home owned restaurant with the homemade recipes that is authentic in this region. Fully recommended. read more

As a traveling family with young children, we were looking for an authentic Italian dining experience that everyone would enjoy and this hit the spot! They made a kid-easy meal to fit the tastes of our 4 and 6 year olds, and our 1.5 year old went to town on the gnocchi and almost anything else we put in front of her. My wife's pasta and mine were specially made by the chef, infused with parsley, and were absolutely delicious. The bruschetta was the best either of us had ever had. They were very kind to us, kid-friendly, and we would highly recommend anyone and any family going if you're in the Pompeii area. read more

Outstanding experience. Don't let the empty room by the road fool you! There is a much larger backroom and you will experience greatness. I grew up with an Italian grandmother and this meal nearly matched those home cooked meals on a Sunday afternoon. Roberto (owner) is an amazing host. Every dish we tasted was outstanding. The prices were ludicrously low. I'm not even sure I could have prepared those meals from the grocery store for what he charged. If you are in Pompeii, this is a MUST stop for a great meal. It crushed everything we had in Rome. Enjoy! read more

I've traveled the world extensively and I must say that the dining experience at Add'u' Mimi' is absolutely unsurpassed! The house wine, the seabass, the pear cake, and fennel digestiv were brilliant. The personal touch of Roberto and his father made the dining experience above and beyond. Roberto's deep passion for preparing meals is a personal honor for him which reflects great pride in his family and in the city of Pompeii. His passion translated into a fantastic meal and an incredible, memorable experience. I give Add'u' Mimi' my highest recommendation. read more

We used Yelp to seek out a place for dinner when in Pompeii and Add'u' Mimi' came highly recommended. Now we know why. Not only was the food spectacularly good, but the host Roberto was a real character - great sense of humour, whilst at the same time helping us through the menu and making some excellent suggestions. If you do hear about Add'u' Mimi or read this / other reviews do yourself a favour and dine there. This is the only review I've ever written for a restaurant, anywhere in the world. That's how good this place was. read more

This is my first yelp review, which should be a testament to the food and service which was so amazing that I finally felt compelled to write one. If you decide to actually stay in Pompeii overnight, you would be squandering an incredible opportunity to taste true southern Italian food as well as incredible wine (the best and cheapest I've had in Italy yet) if you decide to go elsewhere. I could go on and on about this fantastic restaurant, but invite you to experience it for yourself. A must eat if you are in Pompeii. read more

The food was AMAZING. The service, impeccable. House wine was great, try out the roma-baba for dessert, it was so good that even though we were stuffed we ate it anyway. The seafood was fresh and delicious, and the digestive was the perfect way to end the meal. Roberto was a gracious host who treated us like family and you can tell he cares deeply for the food he serves. Spent two weeks all over Italy and this was by far the best meal we had after visiting Rome, Pompei, Florence, Pisa and Venice. DO NOT MISS!! read more

A wonderful surprise! We stumbled upon this restaurant after a morning at Pompeii (it is very close to the amphitheatre exit) and had one of the best meals of our holiday. The restaurant looks quite dark and quiet from the street, but opens up to a light room with a small garden. The food (and house white wine) was uniformly delicious (in particular the home made scialatielli) and was very reasonably priced. We were looked after by Roberto who was extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful; a pleasure to meet. read more
