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. 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.

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.

I love Italian food, but after having it for one week in Switzerland in the Italian side of the country and another week in Italy I was ready for a change.

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.

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.

It looked nice and inviting from the outside and the posted menu and prices were very reasonable. This was our first official meal in Italy and it was amazing! I had the capresse salad and my daughter had the pizza Quatro formagi, we shared the a frituri (not sure if I spelled that right, but it's fried calimari and prawns) Tomatoes were beautiful and fresh, and the mozzarella the best I've ever had (maybe there's better, but it's the best I've had so far) drizzled in olive oil and lightly seasoned with basil and herbs. The calamari was perfect, crisp coating on the outside and a wonderful texture. Not the usual rubbery fair we get state side. My 13 yr old nearly polished off her entire pizza and the little piece I had was deliciously cheesy with a perfect stone oven crust. All this, 31€. (2€ for the bottle of water) The restaurant itself was very clean and nicely decorated. I noticed as many Italian patrons as I did foreigners. A lot of the staff spoke some English and did with out having to be asked, although I had hoped to use some of the Italian I learned before our trip. I can't attest to the authenticity but it was far better than all of the higher priced Italian restaurants I've been to back home. Enjoy!

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.
