The worst restaurant meal I've ever had…read more The chicken soup tasted like canned chicken soup--because it may very well have been. It even had the unmistakable chunks of canned chicken, and to make matters worse, it arrived barely warm. The salad was somehow even more offensive. The lettuce had brown discoloration, and the croutons were so stale they could probably have been used as construction materials. My spaghetti was watery, the noodles were barely cooked, and the sauce tasted exactly like Ragu. My friend ordered the pizza and managed only one slice. The crust was excessively doughy, the pizza was overly salty, and the cheese had the texture of rubber. The bread was laughable: no garlic, no oil, no seasoning--just premade rolls that appeared to have been heated and served with some of the smallest butter containers known to mankind. The restaurant also needed a serious cleaning. The ceiling was disgusting, and the wall decorations were covered in dust. To be fair, our server was great. Unfortunately, there's only so much a good server can do when the kitchen is producing food this bad. Everyone at our table left plenty of food behind, and we threw the leftovers in the garbage outside. I felt sick to my stomach for the entire ride home. The prices were completely unjustified, and the restaurant gave the impression of relying on tourists who may never return. If you think I'm exaggerating, read the other reviews. This place has clearly perfected the art of turning simple food into a full-scale culinary disaster.

Caffé Vesuvio has been a wonderful choice for us for many years. Whether we are stopping in for one…read moreof their meals or enjoying one of their pizzas, we have consistently had a great experience. The staff is always welcoming, accommodating, and genuinely appreciative that you chose to visit their establishment. That level of hospitality, combined with consistently good food, is what keeps us coming back. If you are looking for a great Italian restaurant with friendly service and quality food, give Caffé Vesuvio a try. You will not be disappointed!

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.

I've been eating here for about 2 years now. When I first tried their food I ordered a pizza which…read morewas seemingly burnt on the bottom. After a few months I gave it another try and fell in love. Their food is exceptional. They make their own sauce there (instead of that cheap pre-made junk). And they definitely give you a great portion size. I've tried a lot of things on their menu and can't complain about any of them. Its great to order out or dine in - I've never had to wait a long time (unless busy). The only thing I have negative to say is some of the staff don't seem friendly. One woman seemed like she hated her job and I can tell when I call to order if it's her because she's very rude sounding on the phone and just hangs up when the order was given. Some others are very nice though, the servers are usually on top of things as far as getting orders right and making sure you have everything. I would encourage people to go here if you enjoy Italian food. It's definitely a place to drop that well earned penny.

This is our go-to spot when things are hectic and no one wants to cook. A basic cheese pizza has…read morebecome a staple for our family, and it never disappoints. It's the easiest decision when we can't agree on what to eat and just need a quick, reliable meal everyone will enjoy. The service is always great, and the food is consistently good. We usually add their Greek salads, which the whole family loves. The pizza itself is a real reminder of the New York style we miss, and that alone keeps us coming back. Even the interior is just like any authentic pizza place you'd find in Brooklyn! Reliable, local, and exactly what we need on those crazy days.

It was all decorated up for Easter Sunday which is tomorrow. The serves was great, we were greeted right away and sat right away. They filled our waters and brought us the bread to start and gave us time to look at the menu. We started with fried ravioli, pear and Gorgonzola salad, and the the glazed Brussels sprouts. The salad was a little small for the price but the taste was great! The Brussel sprouts were delicious and well glazed. Then the fried ravioli were really good filled with a mix of cheese that was delicious and a side of marinara. They were all great and were great to share! Then for the mains we ordered the Gnocchi, gnocchi with Alfredo sauce and were cooked perfectly! Both sauces were delicious and tasted like they were made in house. I ordered the pasta allá puttanesca and it was great. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly and it had two types of olives and crushed tomatoes and was perfect. Then other people ordered a BBQ chicken pizza and the capricciosa pizza which were both great. We tried the tiramisu to finish off the dinner and it was some great desert. It was definitely made in house and was delicious. The service was great as it was very busy and the staff handled all of our needs and flipped tables very quickly around us. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great Italian meal.

Had a reservation for Sunday night at 6:30. We arrived and our table was ready!…read more We were sat and it was quite busy. There was a power outage in the area so all the locals were out to find dinner. Servers running around, and a guy who looked like the owner, came in with groceries and was later handing out dishes. Our server came by and said they'd bring our choice of water right out- tap, sparkling, bottled still, and grab our drink order. I asked for the house Chianti. It was really good and only $8, so I thought man, for $8, I will have another glass. Ha! When the bill came, they charged me $28! Apparently they were not serving me the house Chianti or they rang me up wrong. I don't know but that was a big surprise. We started with the fried calamari, burrata, meatballs, Cesar salad and octopus. They did not have the octopus carpaccio on the menu but they had a grilled octopus so we said we would try it. It was a bit chewy- I've had way more tender at other places. It could also use some char marks. The meatballs were small and although the menu said served with ricotta and Parmesan- the amount of cheese on top was sad. The meatballs were good and the marinara sauce is delicious. The Cesar salad was awesome. I loved the croutons and the side of anchovies. It was perfectly dressed and not too much cheese. The burrata was delicious; a little pesto on top with a lot of arugula and a huge heirloom tomato. The calamari was pretty standard. My husband said the calamari was too chewy and he did not enjoy the octopus texture at all- leaving his chewed bite in a napkin. My folks seemed to not care. The bread they serve with the oil and balsamic is delicious. It came out hot from the oven. Wow. I had the lasagna- it's a small serving but I was already full. I took a couple bites. It was good. I like their bolognese sauce. We had the three specials- the lobster and seafood fra diavolo, the red snapper and Shrimp on linguini with the white wine tomato sauce, the tomahawk veal chop Parmesan w linguini. Everything was so good. The snapper was a large portion- looked like only 2 shrimp but there were 3-4 more underneath the fish. It was a light cream sauce. Very good. The tomahawk veal was enormous. You can't tell by the pic because the plate is a huge platter. They said it is 16oz but to me it looked like 38oz. It was really good. The lobster fra diavolo they made not spicy for my mom which is amazing because they were so busy and they really don't take custom orders. But she was very happy with the not spicy sauce. The lobster I was afraid would be overcooked because I feel like everywhere overcooks them, but this place did not! It was tender and not chewy. So all our entrees came out perfect. The owner was around- he's the one who brought me salt and he brought some of our appetizers. He was very helpful. For dessert I had to have the cannoli. They fill them fresh, I know it because the shell was so crispy. We also had 3 martini specials- the key lime pie martini, the pistachio martini and the tiramisu martini. All were good. The key lime was different than most restaurants - more tart and less thick. The tiramisu martini was everyone's favorite. Because of that, we got the tiramisu cake to go! It's circular and not from a sheet cake. It's very pretty and tasted really good. We got one bite before we bagged it up. Our server did a great job. She was pretty new. We told her what we loved, including the bread- and she went and bagged some up for us to go! Wow! Great service. My only complaint is the mix up on the wine. The house Chianti is what I ordered. I may or may not have gotten that, but I was definitely charged for something else. I expected $16 and instead it was $28. I probably should have complained but we otherwise had a good time. I will mention it the next time I go there.
