The best restaurants Pompei

This restaurant is just a stone's throw from the historic centre and is one of the best in Pompeii. It offers typical dishes of the region and the land. Here, everything is done to delight your taste buds in a sober and unpretentious decoration. The service is impeccable and very friendly. Indulge yourself and try the antipasti and other traditional dishes such as pasta e fagioli con le cozze (pasta, dried beans and mussels) or pasta with vongole and shrimps. And above all, for dessert, try the ricotta-pear cake, a real delight.

Right next to the Circumvesuviana, Pompei Santuario stop. This small neighborhood pizzeria is considered the numero uno of the city. The room is tiny with its ten tables and its red mosaic oven. The atmosphere is very friendly, with a clientele of regulars. The pizza of the restaurant's name is the basis of its success, but the establishment also offers a wide variety of toppings, with Neapolitan classics such as pizza with sausage and friarielli. It's best to make a reservation, as this small place is packed with regulars.

One of the best restaurants in the area and the gastronomic address of Pompeii. The chef, Paolo Gramaglia, works in the kitchen while his wife, a professional sommelier, offers a sincere and friendly welcome and impeccable service. A wide range of refined dishes, especially based on fish and top quality products. Creative menu inspired by traditional Neapolitan recipes, and even ancient recipes from Pompeii. Nice wine list. This is the chic place where you also pay the price of prestige.

Osteria Da Peppino is a legend here. Founded in 1970 by grandfather Peppino (short for Giuseppe), this family restaurant offers excellent, typically Neapolitan cuisine in a warm atmosphere. The setting is rustic and the terrace in the shade of a pergola is very pleasant. Pasta, grilled meat and fried fish are all very copious. If you have room, try one of the home-made desserts. Reservations are recommended during the season. Best value for money in town.

With its wine bottles and its piled on the impressive shelf of 3 m high, on the walls of the first room, the decor is planted. The terrace, splendid, covered with leaves and wisteria branches, is also a pleasant room. In any case, the decor of this restaurant does not fail to make you think of the wine. The bottles and the dishes are good, the service too. Good restaurant of day, less pleasant in the evening.

Pulcinella's successful frescoes adorning the walls of this organic restaurant are signed Alleria, a local artist whose name, short of allegria, means "joy" in Neapolitan. Cioffi Bartolomeo, the young manager of this restaurant, is a gourmet and true gourmet gastronomy. This is found in the presentation of plates and in the tone given to dishes. Pizza is delicious, the rest too. The price is a little higher, but it's worth it. The team is young, the relaxed atmosphere and decoration are tasteful.
