Good food. Always sloooooow service. If you order to pick up, call them directly, it's cheaper than doing it in the website. They are good so always busy. We order take out a lot and get told 40 minutes and then get there 50 minutes later and are usually told another 10 min. The last time we had one warm item and 2 room temperature items and were told 10 min twice. Good food but don't recommend take out and expect the kitchen to be slow. read more

They remodeled so it's super cute and looks like an Italian piazza. Food is always fantastic. Had the sausage and mushroom 12" pizza, large salad and meatball app. The waitress apologized for not realizing she was our table. No biggie. It was only a moment. Ample parking in the back read more

It's been a few years since my last take out order because we weren't overly impressed. Heard some good things about the new owners and the remodel. Went on a Sunday evening and wow has the place changed. The interior is completely remodeled and an outside dining was added. Not packed but the inside was busy and the vibe was positive. To true Italian style the service was attentive but not pushy. Food: ordered the Sicilian pie with pepperoni & sausage. Toppings are ample and the dough was cooked to perfection, light & crispy. We split a main of chicken parm and substituted vodka sauce with rigatoni. All cooked just right. Everything was delicious and we'll definitely be going back to try other true Italian dishes. read more

We had a pleasant experience celebrating our friend's birthday here. Our server was fantastic, I didn't catch her name but she was from Sardinia, which gave the experience a very authentic feeling. It was a little loud due to the smaller dining area, but once a few parties filed out, it got more enjoyable. The food was great! Everyone enjoyed their meals, the lobster cream sauce on mine was super tasty! Overall no complaints! read more

The food was OK, but they really need to do something about the noise level. It's the loudest restaurant that I think I've ever been in. You can hear so many loud conversations and plates clanging. My wife sat directly across from me and I could barely hear a word she said. That could be a blessing I guess, but seriously it took away from the dining experience. read more

Great food, great service very nice staff. We ate there 3 times just in the first week we were here. Some of the best pizza anywhere, especially in New Smyrna Beach, and we grew up on Brooklyn pizza. The owners are Italian and there constantly seem to be Italians eating at the restaurant, which is always a good sign. All dishes we have had there ranged from good to excellent. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. Even the Philly cheese steak sandwich at lunch was both delicious and very filling. read more

Fantastic food, service and space. Love love love this place and the food! You won't find a better spot in NSB read more

We thought that we should try Vesuvio's again for take out, we shouldn't have. Ordered their Sicilian and added sausage, red onions, mushrooms and peppers. It looked like everything on top of the pizza was an afterthought... and I mean everything from the red sauce, the cheese and at $3 a topping and adding 4 toppings you would at least expect that there are toppings on all slices and et all . Don't waste your $ like we did. read more

This place is very good. Many of the servers are from Italy too. I went two weekends in a row and both times ordered the veal Marsala. The first one was better than my second visit, but still good. I tried both their gnocchi and chicken soup (yummy) and their chicken vegetable soup (pretty good). I wanted to love the eggplant tower, but it needed more flavor, probably balsamic layered throughout would have been better. We shared a 12" caprese pizza, it was good but I think margherita would have been better. The desserts that I tried were all good. I think I liked the lemon tiramisu over the pistachio. The maritozzo tasted like ones in Rome and was very good. The pistachio cappuccino was good, but I didn't like the flavor of the paste used around the cup. So I'd recommend a plain one. read more

Caffe Vesuvio's Pizzaria - Review - Italian Near Me - New Smyrna Beach, Florida

Staying in Port Orange but spent the day at KSC so looking for something on the way back can so glad we found this absolute jem! Servers were attentive but not overbearing! Such a cute atmosphere with views into the kitchen. Everything we had was amazing! We asked if they made their own and confirmed things were homemade, and it showed! Garlic knots were light and airy, with a delicious dipping sauce! Kids got pasta which was delicious! Husband and I split the Stromboli which you could tell was homemade! So delicious! Wishes we lived closer as we would definitely be regulars! read more

Food was absolutely delicious last night at New Smyrna's Café Vesuvio's! Whether you're planning a date night, grabbing a quick solo bite, or meeting up with friends and family, the atmosphere is fun, inviting, and perfect for any occasion. The appetizers were on point--great for sharing while catching up--and the entrées were so good I had to box up half just to save room for dessert. If you're craving yummy Italian food, this is the spot. Our server Chloe was also attentive and great to work with. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great true NY style thin crust pizza. The food was great and the people who work there were great!

Excellent. The Lobster Ravioli amazing, Stromboli amazing, chicken Marcella was also amazing . Not a local but my friends are and Cafe Vesuvio's is a staple for them and a local must visit for me. read more

Yesterday at Vesuvios, I had the fairly tasteless chicken piccata. My friend had the rather tasteless chicken Marsala. After dinner, my husband had a tasteless cannoli for dessert, which had Hershey's syrup on it. While the plates of food were beautiful & plentiful, and the service good (thank you Nevada), I cannot say I'll go back. read more

Not impressed at all. Been here several times and the food quality has gone from outstanding to blah.

We order their pizza every 2 weeks. Best pizza around! We had one time they messed up the pizza. One simple phone call and they made it right. See you again in 2 weeks. read more

3.5, service slow, food okay. On there sign said pizza, NOT italian restaurant. Did not lie, characterless italian food. Prices aahhh.

Yuck! Worst marinara sauce ever! Had it delivered by door dash cuz I was lazy. It's horrible!! All water, no flavor. Waste of money! No garlic. No italian seasoning. No fresh basil. It's still on counter, getting cold. I could have just ate Top Ramen with an Xtra chk bullion cube and cayenne pepper!! read more

Caffe Vesuvio's Pizzaria - Looks good. Pasta tastes awful. Salad looks OK. - Italian Near Me - New Smyrna Beach, Florida

We are from Va Beach, VA and went in to order a pizza. When we saw the menu, our love for Italian food took over and pasta became the main focus. The food was absolutely delicious! Alessandra was our server and she was amazing!! So friendly and upbeat, even though she had been in the weeds and swamped just an hour before we arrived. Her Italian accent and engaging smile made the place feel even more authentic. Caffe Vesuvio is definitely the place to visit if you're in the mood for delicious Italian cuisine, a comfortable atmosphere, and great service. Ask to sit in Alessandra's section. You won't be disappointed!! 5 stars!!! read more

Always good food. Good specials each day. Great wine selection. House wines are great. Been here many times. This time our server was Aliana and she was terrific. Very helpful and friendly. Pretty inside. Little bit of outside seating. You can't go wrong choosing to eat here. read more

Me and the wife have been here couple of times food is always good, so I decided to order out when I called I ordered chicken wings I was interrupted in a very rude voice "this is vesuvios we don't have chicken wings" k then I ordered a chicken parm sub which I ordered before will eating there. When I got the food home my salad was poorly made with brown apples on it, the chicken parm sub was made with chicken fingers not the hand breaded chicken it usually is the pizza was great but to be rude on the phone and because it's a takeout order doesn't mean you take short cuts point of story is don't order out and if I was ever talk to that way when I'm seated if would be a whole different story. read more

Unfortunately I can't give feedback on the food because I was unable to order any- although the menu was promising. While there were multiple employees gathered chatting at the entryway and multiple FOH staff behind the bar, when I requested to have drink at bar and order take out, I was seated and no one came to provide service. This happened despite a conversation held in front of me about who was going to "be her server." Staff using the POS in front of me did not make eye contact or ask me if I needed something. Since no one seemed interested in my business, I left. The Garlic was conveniently located nearby and provided excellent service and food. read more

Truly a gem in NSB!!! If you have ever seen any of my reviews before then you know my two little boys are pizza obsessed and at this point I would say they are pretty good judges of what is good pizza and what is not. Both of them give two big thumbs up so congrats on that! And the parents are going to agree with them because this place has everything you could want in a local Italian restaurant. Great service and big portions! Wow. You HAVE to try the spaghetti and meatballs... they are splendid!!! So much flavor and enough to take home and eat for the next day (at least I did). Salads are great. All in all I can't wait to come back and try more amazing dishes on their menu. read more

Great food, great service reasonable prices. We really enjoyed our experience at this restaurant and will definitely be back.

One of the worst Saturday night dinners we've had in a long time! I gave two stars because we got seated right away and we've had some really good meals here previously. But now we think there was no wait because things have really gone south here. We really used to look forward to coming here. The server was not very experienced. We ordered a glass of wine, waters a side of ice for the wine and decided to try the eggplant tower appetizer. We asked for a side of oil and vinegar to go with the eggplant tower. And, they have battery operated lamps at the table, and ours was out. The server noticed and said she would get us a new one, but never did. She brought us water and came back abiut 5 minutes later with the glass of wine, but never brought the ice, never brought the lamp and never brought the oil and vinegar until we asked again. We normally get entrées here but decided to go with a pizza tonight. We ordered the chicken Parmesan pizza. The eggplant tower came out in a reasonable amount of time. It was three pieces of frozen fried tasteless eggplant layered with three slices of not ripe tomatoes, and three slices of very bland fresh mozzarella cheese on top of a sprinkling of Arugula lettuce. The server said it woukd be a mixed green lettuce .We were happy it was arugula, but it was basically just a sprinkle of it. Definitely not a $15 salad! The eggplant had no flavor except for a fried and crunchy taste. Then the wait began for 1 large pizza. There was a large party to our left, a 4 top to the right and a large party finished up, got cleaned and about 20 minutes later another 8 top got sat. We watched the large party to our left get their appetizers and entrées and then dessert and then the party to our right got appetizers, garlic bread and we still had only our appetizer. When we saw the 2nd large party get appetizers, my husband got up and asked at the front if they could check on our pizza. He was told that pizzas take 45 minutes! He asked why they would not tell their guests when ordering that a pizza would take that long?! We still waited about another 10 minutes, which was probably about an hour to get 1 large pizza. When they delivered the pizza, our eyes got very wide because the pizza looked like someone took a can of tomato sauce and poured it on top of the pizza. There was a sprinkle of chicken that was diced on top and hardly noticeable, but mainly we got a sauce pizza with a little bit of cheese. I scraped the sauce as best I could off the pizza. It was still a sauce pizza. No one came back to ask how it was. We finally asked a passing server if this is really how they serve a chicken parm pizza. She said it looks like a lot of sauce. I asked if we could get some spaghetti for all this sauce. (Trying to make light of this obviously ridiculous pizza that somehow was able to leave the kitchen and be served). We each had 1 piece and the rest was just sitting there. The server finally came back to see if we wanted to take the pizza to go! We then told her how terrible it was and that had someone come and told us # 1 it would take 45 min for a pizza and # 2 asked us how everything was after a few bites maybe they could have corrected the problem. The server did ask if she could get us another pizza to which we laughed! And, wait another 45 minutes!? The manager on duty was leaving as we were paying and said was everything good? We said actually no it was our worst experience. She stopped for a second and said sorry. But it was too late. They didn't end up charging us for the pizza. This earned the 2nd star. Had we not said we shouldn't have to pay for this, it would have been 0 stars. All around, we hope there are some opportunities for learning here. Where is the management? Why wouldn't they let guests know a pizza takes 45 minutes? Servers and managers need to learn how to handle guest issues without making the guest feel like we did something wrong. Really disappointed. We have had many really good dinners here but see that things are going backwards with no leadership on site. Maybe this is fine when 99% of guests are tourists and may never be back. In lean times when there are few tourists, us 1% locals keep things alive. But we'll go where we feel valued. We know sometimes it is an off night at any given restaurant. When no one notices or cares, is the difference of us being regulars or the silent, never to be seen again guest. Food for thought. read more

Spectacular food and dessert + warm friendly service!!! The chicken parm with homemade pasta was incredibly delish!!! The chicken was crispy yet tender and so tasty with the homemade sauce. The homemade pasta (spaghetti) was cooked to perfection. Just when I thought things couldn't get better here, the pistachio tiramisu is simply to die for, I wanted to move into it!!! I wish I could eat here every day! read more

Food was excellent. Service was great. Love their remodel. The Italian sub was one of the best.

Be careful using your debit or credit card here. Went Saturday and paid by debit and my card was scammed for a gaming website. This is the only place I used my card for the past week. Only other was the same gas station for the last 6 months. Customers beware and check your account. read more

Where do I begin? My parents and I are Italian, so we know how it should taste, and this simply wasn't it. The sauce was too sweet, and my father and wife simply did not like the pizza at all, plus it was lukewarm when it came out. It says moderate noise, but this felt like a cafeteria at a middle school. The decor changed from a year ago, and one noticed a few things; it felt like too many tables were crammed in, and based on the look and taste of the food, it felt like a culture change took place, like a quiet change in ownership. Add to that the service was not great, our waitress kept disappearing, and management did not seem to care. I'm not seeing management respond to any reviews here. Disappointing all around. read more

Disappointed that the calzone barely had any toppings inside and we paid for two. Easy item to satisfy customers and corners were cut The order also only came with one small side of sauce. Paid $3 for another small side of sauce which was not even enough for the meal. Service at the cashier was so so. Not super friendly, waited an extra 20-30 minutes for my pick up items and asked for another size of sauce for the calzone and they charged another $3 plus tax After waiting would have thought they would have just donated it Disappointed Ruined the overall experience for sure just on the pick up order Too bad read more

If you're looking for a cauliflower crust pizza that doesn't leave you crying over a soggy mess of toppings this is the place! The menu only has it as a margarita pizza but you can add toppings, my dad did mushrooms and pepperoni. The crust has a great crunch almost like a well baked thin crust, definitely not the soggy messes I've experienced with other attempts. They use their toppings properly in that it's not smothered so the crust integrity holds up, and they use GOOD cheeses so you're getting all the flavor despite less topping. We had the sautéed calamari appetizer with kalamata olives and capers in red sauce which was excellent in every way from the tenderness of the calamari to the excellent pairing of sweet sauce with briny flavors. I had chicken piccata which was cooked perfectly from the "cut with a fork" chicken to the tender fettuccine. My only complaint was that it felt like mine needed a bit more salt either on the pasta or in the sauce. I did get a side of marinara just to sample (I'm a judge of red sauce) and it's a bit too sweet for my tastes but had good flavor. The space is cozy but trendy, like an Italian courtyard with wine barrel accents and a Vespa at the front. Service was friendly and quick. Will definitely be back to try some of the amazing looking salads and a real crust pizza soon. Also bonus points for any restaurant that leaves me unattended with a jar of cheese! read more

Visiting relatives in NSB from San Francisco and eating out a lot, as per usual (we visit every year). Hadn't been to this place until this visit, and stoked to see the good reviews since it's super close to our house here. We've already been twice, we liked it so much. High quality real Italian food in a lovely yet unpretentious setting. First visit we tried the NY style pizzas, which were great. Second visit was just me and my 8 year old son. We shared a nice salad and a couple appetizers, followed by a slice of cheesecake... it was all delicious. Great service and prices are totally decent. I am excited for this edition to the NSB restaurant scene, not sure how long it has been open but I sure hope it does well since it'll be a staple for us on our visits! read more
