My husband and I stopped by on our way home from vacation. We love going to local places and giving them a try, and let me tell you, this place was great! My husband had stuffed shells and I had the chicken bruschetta. Both absolutely amazing! The bread they give to start is soft and flavorful. The tiramisu was delicious, and by far the closest we've found to authentic. I don't really like leaving reviews, but I HAD to for this place. The staff was small, but they were very nice and we didn't wait long for anything. We will be happy to stop again next time we're in town. So good!

Seemed authentic. I had the Chicken parmesan Alfredo. I loved that they had it with Alfredo sauce . It was very enjoyable. My discriminating mother was impressed, so that is saying something.

Delicious! We loved it!! Marinara was on point!! Bread and oil, stuffed shells, chicken Alfredo, everything was amazing!

Very impressed. Dining here from out of town. Breadsticks served first with lovely oil and vinegar dip. Salad that came with my meal was fresh and crisp. My moms meal came with a yummy tomato basil soup. Garlic knots with marinara for appetizer, was not expecting how many came out and they were buttery and crisp yet soft inside. My meal was broccoli and garlic that I opted to have over 3 cheese tortellini. Good, fresh veggie flavor and light olive oil sauce. My mom had cod tempura that came with shrimp scampi. Her plate also had blistered tomatoes and sauteed spinach that I did not try but she raved about. I did try her scallops and they were AMAZING. Golden all the way around and just really good flavor. Good service, they took our questions and the chef even came out to answer about the origin of the seafood. Kudos for USA sourced!! Highly recommend??

This is my place I go when I want a Italian vacation. I love this place! From the music playing in the background to the decor and the aromas of Italian pizza feeling your nostrils, you have that Italian feel .The owners are great people! The food is so great reminds me so much of when I lived in Sicily. This little hidden gem has now been found for somedays the line has been out the door, well worth the wait or go back after the rush! Short staffed sometimes, so always remember to be kind, respectful and patient to the staff that are providing us a service so we can enjoy ourselves! ?

My husband and I stopped their after a mid afternoon appointment in the area. The food was delicious. Service was excellent. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely be back.

You guys unknowingly made my Valentine's Day extra special. I am very pregnant and did not feel like going out to dinner so we ordered through Door dash. I haven't had the best experiences in the past with ordering through Door Dash but everything came correct, hot, and delicious!! So yummy. Highly recommend.

Dear god, so good. Every bite delicious. Even my “I only eat cereal and McDonald’s chicken nuggets” ate his pepperoni pizza making yummy noises and licking his fingers. The atmosphere is lovely but the food. THE FOOD. Far more than your moneys worth.

Vesuvios catered our baby shower and I was THRILLED with the result. The food was abundant and absolutely delicious. Ready at exact time of pick up. Management was very easy and kind to work with. Everyone LOVED every bit of the food and I stashed some away for my own leftovers because it was so tasty. The lasagna was especially EXTRA amazing! I always enjoy my food when I order from Vesuvios. The price was also very fair. I have no doubt we will be back for the next family event. I cannot express how much gratitude I have for them and the great job they did.

After spending almost 4 years living in Italy, finding a Italian Restaurant that is Owned and Operated by TRUE Italians and not a "Corporate" owned restaurant is far and few. I can DEFINITELY say though that this Italian restaurant is as authentic as it comes. The owners are a husband and wife team who work 6 days a week from open to close to keep their dream alive. Covid hit their business very hard so they are short staffed in order to keep their doors open. They practically run the business on their own. The food takes a little extra time to prepare so if you are looking for fast, microwave food this is NOT the place to go. The food is FRESH, HOMEMADE, FULL OF DELICIOUS FLAVORS and the portions are plentiful. Don't expect the "server" to come to your table a million times, like a corporate ran restaurant. She is a co-owner and has a million other things to do to keep the restaurant operating while her husband is the cook. They do their very best to stay open to give you the BEST, AUTHENTIC ITALIAN FOOD in the area! BE PATIENT when going here and you will leave VERY SATISFIED and you WILL return!
