If you're looking for a true Italian dinning experience this is it. Leave your ego at the door and let Roberto guide you on a path of delicious Italian cuisine. We started off with drinks. The girlfriend had water while I had the home made white wine which I savored with every sip. Next was the sampler appetizer dish which was fresh and delicious. The bruschetta was classic and very complimentary to the sampler. For the main dish I had the gnocchi while the girlfriend had the spaghetti with clams. Both dishes were heavenly and full of flavor. For dessert we split a ricotta with pears cake which melted in your mouth. Thank you Roberto, I will not forget this experience. read more

We've been traveling the world for over 7 months now and have spent a while in Italy now. The house wine, handmade pasta, and staff are ALL amazing!!! Our first meal in Pompei was here and we made sure it was our last as well. Thank you so much for your skill in cook and making us feel like we were eating dinner in your home. VA' FANCUL...!!!!!

By far the best seafood I've had on my trip in Italy. The spaghetti with clams was amazing. Flavorful and the noodles cooked perfectly. I also ordered the Seabass which was by far the highlight of dinner. The manager also came to our table gave us a shot of their home made limoncello and again was amazing.. Great service excellent food. Could not ask for a better experience in Pompei. read more

I stumbled upon this place while trying to find dinner while visiting the nearby ruins. At first, the place seemed awful touristy (which, despite being a tourist myself, was not the sort of place I was looking for). Any restaurant that employs a man to yell for your business from across the street will always have that impression though. However, between not being able to find anything else and the desire to have a nice, Italian meal, I decided to go here. After walking in, I was led through the empty restaurant, and into a back alley. Had my experience continued along that path, I would most likely be giving Add'u Mimi 1 star, with the review "Do not eat here -- murdered." Luckily, things got a lot less creepy quickly. On the other side of the alley was the main seating for the restaurant, in a stylish glass-walled patio. My waiter was quite pleasant -- even indulging my attempts to order in Italian -- but he was quite proficient in English. The food itself was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. Perhaps due to my being in town in the off-season, but the restaurant was fairly quiet and not packed. So, if you're ever wandering around Pompeii looking for food, and the nearby Burger King and McDonald's just aren't up to your snuff, stop by Add'u Mimi. Just don't expect the shouter out front to remember you the next day. read more

Add'u' Mimi' - Italian Near Me - Pompei, NA

If you're in Pompeii and need a bite, take the 15 minutes to walk here from the entrance to the archeological park. The place caters to locals and repeat Italian tourists. For dessert after, there's a great a cafe across the street for sweets, gelato, and espresso. read more

The food was excellent and served quickly! The house wine is the best my husband and I have EVER had, we even bought 2 bottles to take home! It was also the cheapest wine we've ever bought! I wish I could get them shipped to the states! I day dream about the gnocchi all the time! the family staff is also so nice and friendly! We will be visiting this restaurant every time we're in Italy from now on! read more

They had exceptional service and great food. I ordered the pasta and tomato sauce. The tomato's definitely lived up to the local reputation, robust yet sweet. The pasta was of excellent quality. The house red was smooth and flavorful, very well balanced. The food of the rest of my party was simiarly great, including the gnocci, pasta in garlic and oil, and the mozzarella appetizer we all split. Don't let the two euro signs fool you, the prices are very reasonable. It is very easy for restaurants in touristy areas to be rude and offer mediocre service, this place should be applauded for going the extra mile with food and service. read more

Two UK tourists - one a Coeliac - in search of a restaurant that serves gluten free dishes. We found the best one in Pompei here (so far the best we've found in Italy) for both of us! Roberto took the menus away and led us through what the kitchen could provide with a wonderful understanding of what Coeliac disease involves for the diet. And the food was as good as the service, even the more adventurous local dishes (all the ingredients, and the liqueurs Limoncetto and Liquore Finochietto that Roberto brings to you after the meal are locally sourced - the liqueurs made on the premises!) that Roberto talked us into trying, and all of which we loved. In short, a real treat, so we went back there for a second night, didn't even ask for the menus, and if anything it was better than the first! Should be six stars for the personal service that every one of the customers gets - locals and tourists alike!. read more

The dining experience here was our absolute FAVORITE of Europe! Our group of six stumbled upon this place while looking for a lunch spot in Pompeii. We were greeted by an older gentleman who led us through a garden area to a quaint dining room in the back. There, we met the owner, Roberto who personally welcomed us and served our group. He took time to go over the menu with us and offered his recommendations. Everything we ordered from the calamari, to the seafood pasta, to the pear cake, had a wonderful, authentic taste to it and was fantastic. There were even a few things that Roberto gave us on the house for us to try! You could not go wrong with any of the dishes. He went above and beyond to make sure we were well-taken care of. At one point, Roberto even sat down to talk with us. He shared about himself, his family and the rich history of his restaurant. We were really touched by his genuineness and hospitality. His passion and commitment to the quality of food and service to his customers was so evident and it's what makes this place special. If you plan to visit Pompeii and are looking for a place with a great and comfortable atmosphere, quality food, and exceptional service, do yourself a favor and dine at Add' u' Mimi'. I can't recommend this place enough. This review is long overdue, but our experience at this restaurant was so memorable, I had to write one after all this time. Thank you, Roberto for making our Europe trip a wonderful blessing. We hope to visit again one day! read more

Excellent restaurant! We were in Pompeii for the 4th of July and went to this very nice restaurant with our twin daughters. The service and food were excellent and the owner had a way to make you feel so welcome that we really enjoyed our diner. We had fish which was fantastic, fresh and cooked to perfection. Everything we ordered and was served was great. The girls enjoyed their pasta and the wine recommended from the region was great. As I said the highlight was the owner serving us and telling us about his passion for the food and wine of his region as well as telling us about his life. It was like going to a new friend's house. If we go back to Pompeii, we will surely stop again as everything we saw on the menu was tempting ;) read more

I thought that I would never rate a restaurant a five...but here it is! Everything was a delight from the older gentleman who greeted us at the front and escorted us to the lovely patio area was, to Roberto. Perfection. The patio area was cool, clean and aesthetically beautiful. I had the gnocchi which was perfectly done. Melt in your mouth! We had the house wine and it is made by the family. I had the melonchelo that they make in house! Oh dear. Don't MISS this restaurant! We sit he'd the tour paid for lunch to go and were NOT disappointed. Go!! read more

Like the family hospital environment! And the unique house made red wine! And the delicious Fish! Best place in Pompeii!

This place was an absolute pleasure to eat at. Simple, classy, historic, and amazingly delicious. The owner took his time explaining the dishes and the history and tradition behind them to us and we feasted like kings for a very reasonable price. I felt as though I were a guest in his home and he was a master of his craft in a family culinary tradition that is greater than 200 years old. Anyone who visits Pompeii and doesn't spend some time dining here has made a huge mistake, you're not just missing out on a meal but a complete traditional and historic culinary experience. The staff are not here to make money but rather to uphold a proud culinary tradition. read more

Cool, peaceful spot with fantastic service. Food is fresh, very well priced and nicely portioned. We were very happy with our homemade tagliatelle speckled with arugula, served with fresh seafood. If you're offered, say yes to house-made digestivo. Yum! read more

Thanks to the other reviews on yelp, my friends and I found this place for lunch before our trip to Mt. Vesuvius. Food was absolutely delicious and possibly one of the best I have had during our 10 days journey all over Italy. We had mix grilled sea food plate, pasta with clams and egg plant pasta. I would recommend these to everyone. Service was fantastic and friendly as well. Definitely go here If you are in the area. read more

Personalized attention, great food, respite from the Pompeii heat. Advice: ask for the local specialties rather than the stereotypical Italian food. (Other advice: use a navigator to get there. It's not directly at the historic sites but worth the small journey when you're done with Pompeii and a welcome escape from places taking advantage of tourists.) read more

Looking for a place to dine in the area? Look no further! This place deserves every one of the 5 stars I gave it. I took a tour all over Italy, and this was by far the best experience I had the whole time. We stayed in Pompeii for one night, ate dinner here due to the helpful reviews on Yelp, and decided to go back for lunch the next day because it was so great. First things first, Roberto is one of the kindest men I have ever met! When I think of a passionate Italian restaurant owner, he is exactly what I think of. Not only is he helpful when looking over the menu, but he describes all the homemade pastas in such a passionate way, that you can truly tell he cares about your experience. Both plates we got were very good, and the house wine is not only a remarkable price, but has amazing flavor as well. Please do not leave there without getting a bottle of the house wine. In fact, it was so good that we decided to bring 4 bottles of it home with us. The desert was nothing short of amazing. Overall, the food is just wonderful, no meter what you order. Before we left Roberto insisted that we try some of this stuff (the name escapes me) that was suppose to help with digesting the food. Even it was remarkable! As if this experience wasn't enough, Roberto offered to drive us back to our hotel once he found out we were about a 30 minute walk away. We kindly declined his offer, but this just goes to show how great of a person Roberto is, and how his establishment reflects this. If I'm ever back in Pompeii, I'll be sure to make it back to this place to eat! read more

Ciao!! Absolutely amazing meal at this establishment . Convenient distance to Pompeii and beautiful inside. Authentic Italian Napoleon cuisine and family style where you feel at home ! Any time we are in the area we will be here - grazie Mille Roberto from New Jersey! V.F. !!! :) Xoxo Leslie and stephanie read more

From the friendly and welcoming owner, the delicious pasta and steak, or the $6 BOTTLE of delicious house red you really can't go wrong. If you're coming to walk the Pompeii ruins this is a must stop for lunch and shade. read more

Do not miss this amazing hotel. Every corner in the hotel is amazing and spotless. High ceiling. Wide and comfortable rooms. Roberto did an amazing job with every room. Breakfast is spectacular. Service is warm and welcoming. Napoli was for us Roberto's place, his hosting and warmth. A mixture of culture and heart. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

My husband and I came to Add'u Mimi because of the great Yelp reviews, and we left VERY happy to have gone! What delicious food! We both grew up eating real Italian food and we can both attest that this is the authentic stuff. The owner, Roberto is very charming and spoke to us in English, Spanish, and French - besides Italian of course! The house wine was really, really good, and as others have said, it's homemade, and only 5€ the bottle! We had the gnocchi, spaghetti vongole as primi piatti, and grilled catch of the day as secondi, which included grilled prawns and calamari. Everything was so fresh, perfectly cooked an seasoned. Then to finish Roberto invited us to have some of his homemade Limoncello, and another liquor he makes, infused with fennel. De-lish! We are definitely planning to go again as soon as possible! Yum! read more

Note: this restaurant will be closed from July 20th to August 5th. Came with my family. Was enthusiastically greeted by the grandfather at the front door and led to a table outside in the back garden terrace. Ordered caprese (so fresh!), prosciutto e melone (delicious), and the gnocchi alla sorrentina (probably the best I've had, and I just came from Sorrento). Finished off the meal with a 2 day old limoncello and slice of delicious ricotta and pear pie. Roberto is the most charming! read more

Add'u' Mimi' - Ricotta e pere - Italian Near Me - Pompei, NA

We have visited Roma, Pompeii, and Positano on our vacation. Without a doubt Add'u' Mimmi' served us the best meal in Italy. Fantastic seafood, amazing gnocchi and delicious ossobucco. Ask your waiter for advice. Be open to suggestions. You can just feel the pride they have in their work. As an aside, an old man was "calling us in" outside the restaurant. His smoker's voice and accent made him nearly unintelligible. But right away I knew I liked him. By the end of the night we were watching futball together and drinking wine. read more

This is a great restaurant to visit if you're in Pompei. The food is delicious and the service is wonderful. The employees were all very kind and obliging. The pasta was incredible, some of the best we've ever had! If I ever return to Pompei I will definitely come back to this restaurant. read more

Year after year, my husband and I come back to this restaurant that continues to leave me speechless (not an easy task). Truth be told, there are not enough adjectives to describe Roberto, his family, his restaurant and the food. From the antipasta to the wine, Roberto is there to assist with every choice you make, or even offer suggestions and specials of the day. Everything is always fresh, beautifully presented and finger-licking good to the last bite. Roberto is also attentive to each and every guest, as if you are the only ones in the restaurant, yet he is not overbearing or pushy. His food speaks for itself. He has plenty of help, so if you only have a short time to eat - make this your one and only stop in Pompei. Hands down, this remains our favorite restaurant in the world. BRAVO ROBERTO - See you next year. read more

I really liked the ambiance here but the food was all average. It was good, just nothing spectacular. We ordered gnocchi, house special pasta, sausage, and veal steak. Everything seemed reasonably priced but when adding up all sides and even the bread (which we didn't ask for) the total quickly rose. Bread was 6€, sides were 3€. The server was extremely nice about explaining the menu items but was confusing about the check. He couldn't split the check across multiple credit cards but agreed to a discount for a cash payment. I would give 4 stars for food/ambiance but had to subtract one when factoring in the cost. read more

Was so hangry after walking around the Pompeii, we found this place in Yelp and walked over. We were greeted immediately by a friendly staff. Our waiter, Roberto, made everything sound delicious as he took his time to describe almost every dish on the menu to us. We ordered and were not disappointed. The pasta was indescribably delectable. The house wine was amazing. It was just an all around pleasant Italian experience. read more

Great service & amazing food & wine! Cute little garden area in the back to have dinner in! We enjoyed the evening we spent there.

To say this was the best meal I've ever had would be a massive understatement. The ambiance, flavor profiles, freshness of ingredients, and top-notch service blew away anything I have ever experienced - both stateside and while in Italy. The restaurant is beautiful; we were led to an outdoor garden area and sat underneath a lattice adorned with grapevines. Our server Roberto was a friendly and kind professional, taking time to explain the food and the heritage of his restaurant. We did away with the menus and told Roberto to surprise us with his favorites. Every dish was spectacular; bruschetta, handmade pasta, clams, mussels, gnocchi, sea bass, steak, grilled vegetables, and a trio of desserts - all phenomenal and perfectly cooked. The house wine was smooth and his complimentary fennel liquor was a fantastic way to end the night. It would be a monumental mistake to pass on this place. The experience was easily worth twice what we paid (3 people with multiple courses, drinks, and desserts: under 100 euros). I would travel to Pompeii just to eat here, no questions asked. Now to the sentimental side of the story: we paid and left the restaurant, only to find that the trains and buses to Naples (where our ship had docked) were closed. Under an impending military curfew, we returned in a frenzy to speak with Roberto; surely he would know of another station or could recommend a taxi company that wouldn't gouge us for the trip. No problems, he said. He sat us down with a bottle of (free) house wine while he finished cleaning up, refusing to let us help. After confirming there was no opportunity for public transport, Roberto PERSONALLY drove the three of us from Pompeii to Naples (an hour round-trip), refused to let us pay him (tolls, gas, inconvenience) and to top it off, treated us to fresh pastries at his favorite local bakery upon arrival. We were humbled that a total stranger could show such compassion and generosity. This man redefines hospitality and is completely dedicated to his craft - do yourself a favor and visit his restaurant. It just may change your life. Thank you Roberto! We are honored to have met you and to have become your friends. read more

Bit disappointing. Read all the reviews and was looking forward to this. Don't think anything came out of a can or packet and the house red was good. But the food was mediocre. My wife had the Limone Escalope which was really tough and really ordinary. I had Spaghetti Suga which was okay, it is hard to mess that up, but it wasn't what you hope for leaving redneck Alberta Canada! The folks working there had a ho-hum kind of day and seemed more interested in us getting the you know what out of there. Pity. read more

This place is amazing. The food is excellent and the service is even better. They are welcoming, personable, and generous without being overbearing. The house wine is an absolute steal at 6 euros/bottle. I got an appetizer, entree, and an entire bottle of wine for 22 euros, and everything was delicious. Great spot. read more

Seriously, I can't say enough good things about this place! I found them on yelp. We were starving, and we had walked around all over before my sister was ready to eat. The staff was amazingly friendly! It wasn't a huge deal that we didn't speak Italian- I mean I tried- but they didn't hold that against us. I felt like part of the family! GO! Go there now! read more

All around perfect service,m. He welcomed us into his place like we were family and took amazing care of me and my friend. I wi definitely be coming back because I loved this place due to his amazing service. Everything is fresh and you can taste the greatness behind each bite. The great prices make this place well worth it and the staff is so friendly and caring it's worth every penny. Thank you! read more

I don't know how this place has 5 Stars. It makes me think maybe some of them are fake reviews. I have been in Europe for 20 days now and have been satisfied and very impressed with every meal with the exception of this one. First off, our waiter had horrible BO. It was hard to stand. Secondly, the gnocchi pasta was disgusting. 100% sure the "tomato" or "spaghetti sauce" base was ketchup. My appetizer, which was ham, mozzarella, bruschetta of some sort and some fruit (it was like a sampler platter) wasn't bad. Wasn't great but wasn't gross like the ketchup based sauce. They had a selection of only one or two wines and the waiter basically laughed at me for asking if they had a Moscato wine. God forbid I like a sweet wine. I ordered dessert hoping it would redeem the meal and it wasn't bad at all. A chocolate fudge pie/cake sort of creation with hazelnuts on it. My husband got a rum cake he liked, I thought it was too strong with rum but not horrible. The waiter was attentive which was good and not typical for Europe. However after that awful pasta dish I wouldn't return to this restaurant if I was paid to do so. read more

Highly recommend! The experience was like being in a local's home. The owner engaged us and we played. We let him choose what we ate and he did not disappoint. To top the night off he had a travelling band serenade my mom for her birthday. Swoon! read more

The best meal we had so far in Italy was at Add'u' Mimi. The food was so fresh and authentic with impeccable service from the owner Roberto. He suggested two homemade pasta dishes for the first course, and grilled prawns for secondi.. And concluded with his very own in-house digestifs, which was more refreshing and easy to drink than limoncello. We would be back in a heartbeat the next time we're visiting Napoli. read more

The food was fantastic and so was the service. I visited during off season and it was still one of the most amazing meals I've had in Italy. The owner came out and explained the entire menu and recommended certain dishes. The prices were very affordable for two college students and was definitely worth it!! Highly recommend for any visitors! The owner even gave us oranges after we paid to eat the following morning!! I hope everyone enjoys this restaurant!!!!! read more

To say this place is great is an understatement, from the personal service of Roberto, (the owner's son) the food, and the prices. This place offers a great authentic Italian experience. My girlfriend and I couldn't have had a better time. Roberto is a great person that treats his customers well and I highly recommend this place to anyone that visits Pompeii. read more

Great food, great prices, great service! Very fresh seafood and homemade pasta, #1 dinner choice, especially for after Pompeii tour! Grazie Mille Roberto!! read more

We walked a mile to nirvana. Lunch at add'u' Mimi was spectacular. We had fabulous arrabiata penne and tagliatelle with shrimp and arugula. Prices were ridiculously cheap. We asked Roberto to open a branch in NYC. read more
