The food was lovely, had a limoncello spritz which was a bit bitter than ones recently had in Italy, apart from that a lovely evening.

We live in Whittlesey and had previously been to Vesuvio only in evenings, but this was lunch with visiting friends, There was a different menu at lunchtime, but there was still plenty to choose from. We all found our choices of food delicious, the staff were very helpful and value for money was excellent. It was as ell we had booked in advance as the restaurant was packed, as it deserved to be.

My husband and I have been to this lovely restaurant multiple times over the past 2-3 years, the food is always lovely. We brought our 3 children this evening for a meal for my birthday, we often eat out with them in chain restaurants -prezzo etc more for convenience then anything else, they said this restaurant was the best they’ve ever been to! They are all quite fussy eaters but all absolutely loved it. The children’s meals portions are so generous! My 10yr old was unsure if it would be enough but he ended up bringing half his pizza home with him! Such great value too, so much cheaper than the chain Italian restaurants and the food is 10000x better! The waitresses are all lovely, attentive and on hand to help. Love the nice touches like the olives and bread on the table too. Maybe some additional desserts that cater for children other than ice cream may be an idea? Little brownies/small chocolate cake or something but that is my only suggestion, everything else is fabulous. Thank you!

Se venite in Inghilterra merita fare tappa in questo piccolo paese per venire a godere della cucina di Peppe Boccia e Maria Boccia. Vesuvio Whittlesey un ristorante italiano che rispetta la tradizione italiana di una cucina sana ed equilibrata, con particolare accento sulla pizza del super pizzaiolo Giovanni ! Assolutamente tutto da provare ! 💪❤️

Saturday evening with friends, what a fantastic meal, atmosphere & service. Maria is an exceptional host and catered for a few things different for us, the waitresses Paige and Lucy were really helpful too. The food is just beautiful. Also the new Spritz tree, I didn't have the whole tree but picked ones I like, if you like Raspberries, the Raspberry Spritz is a must.

We were really enjoying our meal until we met Maria, she had a really bad attitude towards us and the other staff. She was extremely rude and condescending towards me and my family. She completely ruined our night and we won’t be coming back because of her

Brilliant night last night, live music rat pack style. The food was excellent, lovely aubergine starter for me and the fungi risotto was 10/10 the restaurant was full, everyone was singing and dancing or doing a little percussion. The team worked tirelessly to accommodate everyone’s needs, nothing was too much trouble. Maria the owner was on point looking after everyone to make sure every table had what they needed, the pizza dough was bang on, definitely the most authentic Italian we have experienced in the UK, we had such a laugh. Will definitely be back for another evening. The dough balls were lovely, everything was very reasonably priced. Thank you everyone at Team Vesuvio you smashed it out the park

The vibe is ok but the foods rushed and undercooked the calzone was not even cooked and was like slop the pizza was dough was still soft and undercooked, half the time your waiting for a waiter so you can order a drink but they never come . And you have to shout to be noticed, constantly mess ups on ordering of the food they always get something wrong when the order is clear and easy won’t be coming back, I suggest taking the extra 20 Mins drive to Peterborough to prezzo or pizza parlour instead of wasting your money here!

This restaurant stands out with its extensive variety of food options, surpassing many local Italian eateries. From classic pasta dishes to innovative creations, there's something to satisfy every craving. What's even better is that the prices are great, offering excellent value for the quality and quantity of food served. With such enticing offerings and reasonable prices, it's no wonder why patrons find themselves returning to this establishment time and time again. Whether you're craving a traditional Italian meal or looking to explore new culinary delights, this restaurant promises a satisfying dining experience that keeps guests coming back for more.

We had a lovely meal here the day after Valentine’s Day! Wow, what a special menu! I had the stuffed pepper for a special starter and it was delicious. The sauces are all different and tasty. Great kitchen staff and front of the house always excels and go above and beyond in their duty of care. We have been coming here for years and Maria and her husband never disappoint. We’ve had large groups of family and sometimes just the two of us and it always runs with flawless ease. It’s spotlessly clean, warm, and Maria and her staff bend over backward in their service. Thank you, it means a lot.

Can’t fault.the food or the wonderful young staff but the female owner is rude and obnoxious. When she finally admitted that she made a mistake, the words “I’m sorry” were still too much for her to stomach. Such a shame as the chef is obviously very talented and the young people who serve obviously brilliant. She brings the whole business down.

We had a night to remember at Vesuvios last night. They held a cabernet night with a singer Dave McClennand. He was great, it's a small restaurant but that made it even better. He got the audience involved enthusiasticically. Much fun was had. As usual the food and service was excellent, quantity more than adequate, quality excellent as usual. A splendid night with good company and fantastic value for money.

My husband & I booked a table for his birthday treat, we was seated straight away then asked would we like to order as she gave us the menu, we asked if we could have chance to look at menu 1st & asked for 2 beers, our drinks eventually arrived & was warm 👎 we was then asked again would we like to order we asked the waitress for a few minutes, 25mins later another waitress came to take our order. My husband ordered the bistecca vesuvio & I ordered polloi alla romana when our meal eventually came my meal was horrible I got 4 small pieces of chicken in what tasted & looked like thick chicken soup with 4 fried mushrooms on top, my husbands meal was just as bad. When a waitress asked if our meals was OK I said no it's horrible, she then looked at me & laughed in my face I was shocked by this she then asked me the same question again & my reply was the same, it's was horrible again the waitress laughed in my face. I had 1 piece of chicken & left all the meal. My husband asked for the bill & we left. We will never return to the restaurant, absolutely disgusting food & very unprofessional staff.

Authentic italian cuisine in Whittlesey! Everything was delicious. Amaizing pizza and pasta!! Panna cotta with pistacio cream blow our minds and tounges!! Just one thing which was not so good - tomatoes. I know it is really hard to get red and full of flavour tomatoes in UK and those in markets are just tasteless and orange… but anyway that was perfect dinner for both of us!! Thank you. We will be back very soon 😊

Having booked to go to the nearby Escape Room we were unsure if we would find anywhere in Whittlesey that would be able to accomodate our daughter being Gluten Free, we were plesently surprised to find this resturant, she had the option of both pasta an pizza on the kids menu that was GF. The portion sizes were great, really good value and tasted delicious, we were stuffed but would have loved to try the deserts, hopefully next time.

Service was good but the food was not. Seated under an air conditioner blowing cold air so we asked to move - not a great start :-/ Food came fairly quickly but we got the impression it was reheated not fresh. Salmon past Rigatoni was dry and lacking content. Chicken with white wine did not have enough sauce and the baked potato was very small. Glad we at least had a 50% off voucher as prices are obviously over inflated so they can regularly use offers to entice customers. Still not worth it though which is disappointing.
