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.

We grabbed two sandwiches and drinks, which were good to give you energy for the amount of walking your about to do for the rest of the day. The service was good for a tourist spot! I just wished they had more fans or even AC running because it was about 35-40C that day and it was very toasty inside.

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.

Traveling alone, and eating alone in a place where language is also a barrier is sometimes uncomfortable, but they made me feel really welcome, if not just a bit curious!

As I write this we are staying here tonight. What a well done rather elegant hotel in the heart of…read morePompeii, just off the town square, about .8 mile from the entrance to the ruins (Take a taxi back if you walk up, because we walked 4 miles according to my Fitbit for the 4 hours we spent at the ruins, and there was no way my wife could walk back to the hotel - call a cab and spend the 10Euros. But...our room 56 is a bit contorted to get to, but that is part of the fun. Elevator to 2nd floor, then up steps to the left, open the door to cross the rooftop lounge area replete with greenery and lounge chairs, the up a few steps through a metal door, immediately left up the ramp to the short hallway with 3 or 4 rooms - 56 is on the end all the way up the ramp, lol. The card needs only be held to the keypad, easily done without removing if from my wallet which was nice - you see those electronic keys here and there in the US, but more so in the EU I've found. The room's tile floors, sofa, large bathroom with lounging tub and accessorized with a couple tubes of foaming bath gel made for a nice hot water soak after all that walking among the ruins. The bonus for us in room 56 and I suspect valid for the other 2 rooms on the top of the place, is that our little balcony looks right at Mt. Vesuvius - what a great view. The topper is the out of the way, courtyard, off the street placement of the hotel. The fruit trees, the courtyard area with ample chairs, lounge chairs, large umbrellas covering some of the tables and chairs all create an elegant, private, quite place to relax...because access is off the street and you must walk back to the courtyard you'd miss the place entirely but for the sign and taxi stop with their name at the curb. The king size bed is great, looking forward to the included breakfast in the morning - warning for the physically challenged, lots of stairs in this hotel even with an elevator - so if you need to, tell them up front about any physical limitations. There was another couple from the UK staying there, but the rest we saw and heard were Italians, to me a good thing. Also, the front desk staff had great English, was very helpful with recommendations and directions, and very good service for small things like calling a taxi for us and advice about visiting the ruins (slick rocks, uneven surfaces so proper shoes and advice that was practical, helpful, and thoughtful). We'd stay here again in a heartbeat and we haven't even tried the restaurant yet - top quality all the way around. 4 stars not 4.5 or 5 due to the stairs and convoluted layout of the place, but everything else is wonderful. Only small dings as to why not that 5th star are upkeep issues and rooms rather convoluted in layout. Our room for instance; plastic housing on the provided hair dryer broken off in part, towel warmer at the tub very rusted and peeling, left bathroom sink cracked leaving spider web cracks in basin. Just needed some replacement of the those things. About 200 Euros for the night.

It is a little hard to get to but if you take the train and get off at ercalano/portici, it is about an 8 min walk uphill. The walk may also be difficult if you have luggage because there is a lot of garbage on the streets and uneven pavement. It is situated in a small town so you will find a lot of local salumeria shops. The staff here were all very warm and friendly. We enjoyed eating at their restaurant too. It wasn't too expensive and fairly priced. Their morning breakfast was great. The outdoor area was lovely. The one tip I have though is that you should wear a lot of mosquito protection because you'll be bitten constantly.

The proposes risotto di mare was extremely good, as well as the polipo alla brace (grilled octopus). The house wine, a classic Falanghina, very enjoyable even if served a tiny bit too cold. The only improvements warmly recommended: 1) the tiramisù wasn't truly a masterpiece and should be taken out of the menu or reinvented. But honestly a more local pastiera could be a much more appropriate alternative especially for visitors from other regions. 2) the television set used to diffuse the music has to go: a black, plastic, cheap flat screen and a pc for music are truly not adequate for such a wonderful place. I definitely recommend the place for events or even for a romantic dinner, especially if taking a room in the adjacent hotel. A note concerning the prices: I wouldn't rate the place as very expensive. The suggested prices are totally justified for the quality provided.
