Its location near the amphitheater entrance of the Pompeii Archeological Park makes it very easy to find. The food was fantastic, the pasta was perfect. The service was absolutely top-notch as well. I highly recommend this restaurant for a casual evening with friends, or a quiet evening with a date.

The desert was heavenly, and the pasta is home-made. But the number-one best thing about this restaurant was the service. Our server, Roberto, went above and beyond to ensure that my family had exceptional service. He speaks incredible English, and he even made drawings for my kids! I will definitely be coming back in the future, and I insist anyone coming through Pompeii visit.

We tried many things, all were good. The most exceptional were the beef tartare, fried cod with cauliflower and the spaghetti with seafood. We also tried pork belly, fried seafood with salad, tuna tartare with mozzarella, mixed salad, and pasta with tomatoes and mussels from mt Vesuvius. We had an early lunch so we were literally the only ones in the restaurant on a random weekday at 1pm. We ate on the beautiful outdoor patio area that was essentially enclosed in a tent, perfect for the slight chill in the air today. The locals would probably call this place expensive but for a group of 4, we spent about 120 euros including a few glasses of wine. They also have a nice 4-course tasting menu for 35 euros, 50 if you add wine to each course. For us, for the quality of the food with all local ingredients, it was certainly well worth it. Overall, a nice slow-paced restaurant to rest our feet while sipping on some local wines and tasting some good food after a long morning's walk in Pompeii.

The servers were friendly and didn't appear to speak much English, but that was no problem! There is indoor or outdoor seating, we chose to sit outdoors and enjoy the nice summer weather. The pasta was good enough, although nothing extraordinarily impressive or special. The bathroom was so terribly filthy that I would say it was unusable. Worth holding it in and going literally anywhere else. Would recommend for a spot to relax over a decent meal after spending the day exploring Pompeii.

I have tried the fresh raw seafood platter and it was very nice, it came served with some special olive oil that you can drizzle on the fish to enhance even further the freshness of the fish and shellfish. I had monk fish wrapped in bacon and it was very well executed and a very nice portion. The dessert was yummy and balked fresh, overall a great restaurant. Good selection of wines that are reasonably priced. Overall cost for the evening about 50% less than what I would pay in California for this meal. I am highly recommending this place for fine dinning and a great experience overall.

Not sure how much I believe it, but you also don't have much of an option as you won't have much time during the tour break to go anywhere else after visiting Pompeii. For €18, we got a margarita pizza, drink, and a sfogliatelle. My husband and I just shared one as I knew this was going to be a tourist trap. The pizza was a personal size and was very basic. It's decent to hold you over until you're back in Rome, but honestly would rather spend my money and stomach space elsewhere.
