With only one hour allocated for lunch, we were seated promptly, which gave us false hope. After that, we were completely ignored for 20 minutes--no water, no menus, and no staff checking in. Meanwhile, servers actively took orders from tables that arrived after and sat right next to us. We ended up standing up and walking out. If you are on a schedule or expect basic hospitality, save yourself the frustration and go elsewhere.

If you did not look at your bill and start to wonder why it's so high, it is this hidden fee. You might wonder if this fee help at for anything free - absolutely not. You do not get anything free. You need to pay for water. There's no free bread or anything. When you ask them, they say it was on the menu and they don't show you where it is. Since they left a menu at the door, I then looked and it was in the second page in SMALL light orange letter on a GLOSSY white menu. You can barely read it but if you place around with the lighting ant holding the menu in different angles then you will see it. I read such awesome review by others so I want to try it. Don't believe the review about the pizza. You are simple paying for an overly expensive, glorified bread that barely has topics and cheese. See my pictures. The pizza is small and cost 30-50% more than other places. In some cases, I don't even know if you can call it a pizza. I should have know when it's prime dinner time and there's only one other table. I think the people who wrote the review stayed at the hotel that it's connected to and was too lazy to find found elsewhere. So they order a pizza and took it to their room.

In this fashion, we were lured into this establishment by the owner while walking through the silent street on a gloomy afternoon. The open, airy space is pleasant and unpretentious. The welcome by waiters was more comparable to a greeting that a host would provide for guests into their own house. Being presented with a wide spanning menu felt completely unnecessary, as within moments of sitting down, the chef came out of the kitchen to greet and tell about the house specialties. The middle aged Italian man was dressed very cleanly and despite little knowledge of English, provided a better recommendation than one could ever desire from yelp or from the menu itself, which still laid untouched on the table. The prosciutto bruschetta was bursting with flavor of fresh, ripe tomatoes that gave off the sweetness of a cherry, the fullness of sun ripening and the flavor that can only be experienced in a dream. The paccheri pasta looked as beautiful as it tasted, in a pleasant green color and the flavor profile that one can only experience in select establishments. Amusingly from the name, the Carlo Alberto pizza was the least favorite of the dishes had here, but was very interesting. If coming through to visit Pompeii, do not miss this establishment.

We had an hour to kill before our guided tour of Pompeii, so we popped into this pizzeria across the street, and were seated right away. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time -- we'd later come to find out that they opened up early for us. Since Pompeii is in Naples, we couldn't not get pizza. We ordered the "Calabra," and the "Bufalina," and we were absolutely astonished. This was easily the best pizza we've ever had ... and such a special part of our trip to enjoy this fresh out of the oven with the restaurant to ourselves. The Calabra was my favorite -- topped with two types of sausage, and dollops of ricotta cheese that provided the perfect relief from the spicy-ness of the sauce. We also had some straight-up limoncello with our pizza -- it was rather strong, though, and I'd probably order it as a Spritz if I were to return. So yourself a favor and make this pizzeria part of your visit to Pompeii! You won't be disappointed.

Our party ordered a variety of pizzas (including calzones and pizze fritte), and all were pleasantly surprised by the flavours. We had one server in particular who had pretty bad attitude.

In fact, I shared a pizza with a friend, and they even cut up our pizza in half for us! I ordered the margherita and it was quite decent. The dough was soft and chewy, and though thicker than some of the Neapolitan places, not too thick. Our side salad had ample ingredients despite being a smaller portion. We asked for spicy oil on the side and it packed a good kick. My boyfriend got the Diablo and it was meaty and flavourful.

Food: I ordered their Seafood menu deal at 18€ which includes a bottle of water, Spaghetti with Clams & Mussels and some deep fried calamari and bread. My wife got the 5€ Margherita pizza & drink (Pepsi or Water). The spaghetti was just not done and the sauce not very flavorful. There were plenty of mussels and clams. We never got the bread. The fried calamari was ok, not great. The Margherita pizza tasted fine but the crust was mushy and the bottom was burnt. The beers were great. Atmosphere: unique decorations, lots of tables and music playing in the background. One of the workers decided to take a call on speaker with her friend for about 5 mins. Service: was fine. Tip: we thought seeing a 4+ review on both Yelp & Google would mean something, but this was our most disappointing meal so far in Italy.

Hungry and tired after that day's journey from Rome, we decided to try this one out. We cringed at the thought that we were met by a "barker" as we walked by with promises of "fresh juices" and delicious pizza, but being thirsty and hungry, we willed ourselves to enter this establishment right in front of the Villa Dei Misteri entrance of the Pompeii ruins. Our server was par for Italian customer service (no smile and no small talk) but that's a given with most of Italy. The juices were indeed refreshing but I think the OJ had add-on sugar on it because it was just too sweet. We were surprised by the quality of the pizza (our first in Napoles, the birthplace of pizza) and the freshness of the seafood in our pasta. No additional parmesan or red pepper flakes needed. For some reason, our server got us bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Maybe because we spoke English, hence she thought "American". Well surprise, surprise. I actually enjoyed the Quattro Formaggi (four cheese) pizza with the dipping sauce made common allover the US of A. FYI, bread service isn't free in Italy. A great experience. It fueled and refreshed us weary travelers to go through the rest of the afternoon and night in this quiet Italian town.
