As with everywhere else I've seen in octtaviano, there's a group of men loudly talking and gesturing nonstop. They seemed to get a kick out of the fact I'm from Chicago. Very exotic. All the pizzas are made to order by hand. There's an big oven that takes up much of the space in shop and noticeably heats one of the walls. Knowing no Italian, I just said "mozzarella and salami" when I ordered. That worked. But looking at the menu there's a lot more choices than that. I noticed that fries on pizza is popular. Have to give these guys kudos for using real salami instead of pepperoni. Somehow I suddenly feel like I've been getting ripped off for years in the states. It's all made fresh by hand, was only €3.80. What's not to like. They even sell beer.

Great little place. The pizza was great. They sell by the 1/2 meter or meter. The one one on the…read morepicture is a meter with 1/2 margarita, 1/2 sausage and peppers. It's very large but the crust is thin. They were both delicious. As recommended in previous posts we also tried the fried ham and cheese, fried dough balls( that's not the technical name lol), arancini (fried rice balls) fried mashed potato (the oblong shaped fried item). All were great but especially the fried ham and cheese which is the only square fried item and hands down our favorite. It's definitely worth the trip, very authentic and totally a local favorite. They don't speak English - some come prepared with understanding how it works.

When we arrived the lot was almost empty and very few people were waiting for their pizza inside…read more We had trouble ordering so the guys behind the counter explained to us how it works. First pizzas are sold by the meter. Either 50cm or a full meter. So you choose a base pizza (margherita, ...) and then you can add three toppings. We choose prosciutto, parmesan and arugula on a margharita base (total of 7 euros for 2 people). Omg that was a lot of pizza for this money, and it was served super quickly. Once you ordered, you can choose to take away or to setup your own table. If you stay, you can just take a disposable tablecloth and platics plates available at the counter. I would highly recommend you to stay: right after we took our order, customers kept flowing in the place. Quickly, the local got full of families waiting for their orders, children running around... which made the experience very authentic.

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.

I will definitely be coming back in the future, and I insist anyone coming through Pompeii visit.

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.

Do NOT eat here. It's a SCAM! I've eaten in many places in Italy in the Napoli region. I've…read morenever seen any places that charge a 3.50 EURO per person sit-in fee. They don't tell you. 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.

This place is a little bit pricey, but also I feel as though it was worth it for our first time Europe travel. It's right outside of Pompeii at the exit , so knowing it was in a toy area we knew that we might be paying a little bit more for the food. But the service made up for everything, it seems as though it's very team service and a lot of the workers were helping us not just Salvatore. Overall, we had a really great experience and would be back.

We took the owner's recommendations and he brought out 4 very tasty pizzas. Our favorite was the ciciotto which was stuffed with ricotta. It was too good we had to order another one.
