Mediterranean cuisine 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.

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.
