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.

This is by far the best restaurant that I have been to throughout my entire Italy experience. The…read morefood was so delicious, and the house wine was a great value! 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.

Intro: The day before visiting the Pompei ruins, I was looking for a spot for dinner. Stuzzico di…read moreLucias is the most popular restaurant in terms of reviews on Yelp in Pompei, and it has received a lot of accolades on TripAdvisor, so I made my way over on a Friday evening. Service (3/5): Your typical European experience. Not terribly efficient, friendly, or attentive, but it's a pretty small restaurant so that made things easier. Also a bit of a language barrier with the waitress but we made it work. Ambiance (4/5): Indoor only here which is a bit unusual for Italy where al fresco dining rules. Lovely restaurant though with a homey, comfortable feel. The only downside is that there's no A/C so it was a bit stuffy. Drinks (4/5): I had a Peroni beer (not their standard but one I hadn't had before). It was refreshing. Food (4/5): They start you off with some complimentary bruschetta which is a nice touch. From there, I had the meat platter which came with a generous amount of sliced pork, salad, and bread. I ate half and took the rest to go which they boxed up for me nicely (including utensils which was a nice touch too). The meat was cooked just right at a medium and was flavorful. Overall: If you're looking for a great meal in Pompei, definitely stop by Stuzzico di Lucas. It's located a stone's throw away from one of the entrances to the Pompei Ruins. And also happens to be in the heart of Pompei close to a lot of other restaurants, bars, and shops.

Europe 2023 - Pompei, Italy…read more FAST Review Food: Excellent! I had the Gnocchi, which others had recommended and it really was great. We also had the pasta with mushrooms, a bit too much oil on the dish but it tasted great. As soon as we sat down the chef sent us Bruschetta and came out to ask us how we liked it. The Tiramisu is really amazing. You could taste the bottom layer was moist the mascarpone sweet and a perfect cappuccino. Very affordable. Atmosphere: Cozy room, right across from one of the Pompei ruins entrances. Italian music playing in the background. It was a Monday at about 7, there were only two other groups there so not too busy. Service: Amazing, the head chef was not too busy so he was checking on us a couple of times. He was really proud of the food they make. Tips: definitely get the Tiramisu.

My husband and I were in Pompei for one night, and our wonderful host Martina at La Casa di Plinio…read moreB&B (if you're going to Pompei this is undoubtedly one of the best places you can stay - check it out on tripadvisor.com) suggested we eat at one of her favorite restaurants - Vincanto. It is not in a touristy part of town at all, you wouldn't think it was much just from the outside, but once inside it is beautiful. The atmosphere is very romantic and the food - delicious. It's not your typical kind of restaurant though. Basically you get a choice of meal sized antipasto dishes - you'll enjoy cured meats, cheese, bruschetta, different types of pickled or marinated or sun-dried vegetables, wonderful wine, and amazing locally made honey and marmalade to accompany the different types of cheeses. Oh, and the dessert is fantastic so make sure you treat yourself! It is WELL worth it. The host, Yuri, was an absolute delight. He spent a lot of time with us making sure we were happy and got the right types of dishes for us, and regaled us with stories about his favorite place in the world, Napoli. We had no interest in going there but after talking to him, we are now very excited to plan our trip. Basically you go to Vincanto to experience a different way of eating, a beautiful ambience, wonderful wine, and delightful hosts. We very much enjoyed our night here and you will too.

Winter in Pompeii is engulfing. It engulfs you through silence, empty restaurants and restaurant…read moreowners trying to salvage every opportunity to get just one more guest. It's calm. 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.
