This is amazing service with great tasty food, good prices. Thanks.

Good quality food ..... really enjoyed

Came to this restaurants to celebrate a friend birthday and the service and food was great. Because it was so good , came back again with my husband. The service was great, food portions was generous and the food was delicious. Highly recommended.

Great food, friendly staff, good atmosphere and great value.

Absolutely first class meal for our group of 8 friends. Have been dining in Vesuvio for years and would highly recommend a meal at this very authentic Italian restaurant.

Absolutely a great place nothing bad to say excellent all around

Service is amazing with tasty food.

Food and service were very good. Our table enjoyed our meal and had a good time.

Brillant restaurant only recently found this gem and already can't wait to go back. Fab food and such lovely staff

Vesuvio is a great little Italian restaurant. It is always busy and best to book in advance. Once entering you feel your back in Italy. There is a great variety of dishes to choose from plus daily specials. The service is brilliant and because it is always busy with good background music the atmosphere is great too

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.

We had our first visit there last night and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is owned by an Italian family who really know their stuff and all the food was excellent. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. I would make sure you book before going as, unsurprisingly, this restaurant is very popular

Outstanding. Excellent food, good value, lovely staff and atmosphere, truly family run business. Now a regular for us.

Had a lovely meal, friendly staff, fabulous atmosphere, fantastic food just like mama used to make. 😋

Absolutely brilliant night..Music Night..Food was very good..Great Atmosphere

Myself and 3family members attended the Music Night Saturday. What a wonderful time we had! The food was exquisite, service great, atmosphere electric and entertainment excellent. Will go again. Thank you all

Brilliant service, beautiful food and excellent value for money. Would certainly recommend Vesuvio to our friends and family and looking forward to returning soon. Many thanks to Maria and her team.

Amazing authentic Italian! Great atmosphere and the food is phenomenal. Thanks Maria and staff for a great evening, see you soon

Excellent family-run place. Food was very fresh. Worth the visit to Whittlesey just for this place!

Lovely chicken and mushroom pasta don't ask me what it is in Italian

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 😊

Great family place and services are really good.

My partner and I used to regularly eat here when we lived close by, but we now live an hour away so hadn’t been for two years. We made a special trip yesterday for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. Absolutely amazing food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Will definitely be making the trip back again soon!

Always an amazing atmosphere! HIGHLY recommend one of their music nights! Accomodate celebrations. Amazing tasty food, never had a bad meal and reasonably priced too. Love that they hire the local schools older children as servers to give them work experience and something for their cv.

I am very impressed with the food. Best turamisu ever tried.

Fantastic restaurant! Great food, great service, reasonably priced.

Absolutely lovely, food is amazing and very reasonably price, very friendly staff too 10/10

Amazing lunch today. Staff wonderful. Food hot and very tasty. Lovely clean place can't wait to go again 😊

Tasty food nice background musicc and quick service

Nice family-friendly italian food.

Visited last friday with Family. Food, Service and Wine were incredible. Best resturant, hands down. NO COMPARISON !

Had a lovely birthday meal here today Fab food - great service

cena fantastica, l'abbiamo mangiata da asporto. delizioso! tutti gli allergeni sono stati soddisfatti perfettamente. Bravo. Buon Natale

Food was great. Service was good but a few mistakes with the drinks. Overall a great place to have dinner and very affordable

Our favourite in Whittlesey. Food is delicious, service great and a warm welcome.

Visited the restaurant with friends (we don't live in the area) and I was struck by the warm and friendly atmosphere as we walked in. The staff were lovely and our food was outstanding. Piping hot and extremely tasty. I'm coeliac and was amazed by the extensive variety of gluten free dishes on the menu. The cost was amazingly low. Hope we get the opportunity to done here again.

Food was terrible greasy no taste or flavour. Lady behind bar poured a glass of wine & as it dripped down side of glass she wiped it off with her finger, service needs to be improved.

Convivial atmosphere, warm and friendly staffs. Had my best pollo picante, very delicately balanced flavours. They also have a nice collection of drinks which are fairly priced. Easily a 5 star from me.

Lovely hospitality. Wonderful food. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. You know it’s good when you just eat too much because it’s too good not to.

We have been for a couple of birthday meals and were all very impressed each time. Food was all brilliant and the service was fantastic. We'll definitely be going back. Highly recommend!

Superb local family Italian restaurant. Amazing food, friendly service and staff. Knew it was good when we saw the locals piling in. Very good value as well. Reservations recommended.

First came here 8-9 years ago after a busy morning for late lunch. Always had vivid memories of it being a great, small, local restaurant. Rediscovered it tonight and I am glad to see it still has maintained that high quality standard and kept that small upbeat vibe. Highly recommend for a place to eat out.

came for my sons 5th birthday will 100% be returning food was spot on and brilliant service thank you

A fantastic family dinner. We took our kids to Vesuvio as it was the place I proposed to my partner over 4 years ago and I'm happy to say it did not dissappoint. We were asked whether we wanted our kids mains with our starters which was a blessing as it kept them busy whilst we enjoyed our food. The mixed platter was fantastic the sauce in the prawns was amazing and the whitebait was 100% fresh as they tasted fantastic. The kids had a pizza and it was delicious. Very fresh and staff even took the time to interact with our kids which my wife and I really found a great touch. For our mains we had the pasta which was fresh and I had the marinara which tasted fantastic. Desserts were a fantastic end to our food journey having the tiramisu which was fresh and made on the day. We ended the meal with a shot of lemonshelo and our full meal came under £100. Definetly a fantastic place for authentic Italian food and great quality for your money.

The best Italian place in and around the area. Would highly recommend.

Gorgeous food, and great service. My new favourite restaurant

This is a very friendly family run restaurant with good prompt and attentive service. We dined at lunchtime (which was quite busy for a lunchtime that made me think it is a popular place to eat)and there was a good selection on the lunch menu and a special. The food was piping hot,very tasty and plentiful. The prices are very reasonable and we all had a great time. I would highly recommend Vesuvio. Thanks very much .

Outstanding food, great atmosphere and service 2nd to none. Can't recommend this place enough!

Excellent service and value for your money highly recommend this restaurant

lovely place staff very friendly and food was wonderful.

Spectacular. Lovely people, great service, amazing food.

Popped in adhock and was welcomed in . Delicious meals were served and drinks . Very courteous staff . Recommended

Gorgeously quaint Italian restaurant which catered to a variety of diet preferences (vegans and meat eaters) perfectly.

One of our favourite restaurants. We were looked after by all the staff superbly. Food was perfect as usual and fulfilling. Five stars 😁

The food is lovely and the service is great too. Would recommend the sharer platter for starters, a great selection!

Great service and reasonable prices

Great food and good portion sizes

Nice friendly staff. Didn't have to wait very long for our food

Lovely creamy risotto and fantastic friendly service

Excellent restaurant for small parties.Food very tasty.

Great gluten-free options and delicious food

Great restaurant which is highly recommended! Surprisingly full (half of whom were speaking Italian) on a Thursday lunchtime! Lovely food and helpful unhurried staff.

Had a lovely meal Friday 18th March - food delicious and good service. It was nice to see the place so busy and thriving. Will definitely be back asap.

Beautiful proper Italian food - reminds me of what my nonna used to cook for me. The food is always hot, fresh and full of flavour and served super quickly! The staff are very efficient and the menu has so much choice as well as the specials; can’t recommend this place enough! Best restaurant in Whittlesey

Great restaurant, lovely atmosphere

Absolutely delicious meal. My husband's family is from Italy, so he is very picky with his Italian food. Service was wonderful, very family friendly. Will be going back again!

Very good asallways service 👏 food 👌.

A lovely family run restaurant that really delivers the true taste of Italy. The food is excellent value for money and is always good, piping hot and high quality as everything is home made. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is good. We'll done Maria, Peppe and the team....keep up the good work!

Having lived in Napoli for a few years I have missed the true authentic tastes of traditional pizza and pasta meals but wow does this place deliver! My favourite lasagna dish was a delight and accompanying dressed salad fresh and beautifully presented. Have dined here several times and can't praise the quality of food, service, decor and warm welcome highly enough. From the moment you step through the door to the time you leave we felt so welcomed, comfortable and just really well looked after. A gem of a restaurant in Whittlesey and we've had many a gathering and couple nights out here. It's one of my absolute favourite restaurants and if you haven't been you should definitely book. It's a five star from me!

The food is really good, the service could be friendlier. Would be great if staff knew what wine they got. It is you, the owner, who is unfriendly, which you show on your responses below, so no point telling you. You can't take feedback and blame me, the customer. Not a good strategy for a business.

Very Good customer service and Good food.

Having recently relocated from 38 years living in Whittlesey, one of the few things I'll really miss is Vesuvios. Brilliant food, service and child friendly too. Maria is a diamond and we have a lot of happy memories there. My future visits to Whittlesey will be under the charade of seeing family and friends but secretly it will be to get my Vesuvios fix. I recommend checking out the music nights too. Always a lot of fun.

Family meal including young children. Good service and menu choices . Staff really welcoming

A lovely cosy venue with very nice staff and very nice food!

Lovely Italian food made fresh to your table. Will visit again

From arrival we were greated with warm smiles from all staff as if we were long lost friends. Service was excellent all the way through our service. The food was excellent and cooked to perfection. I couldn't recommend here highly enough. We had a table of 4 adults and a 1 year old and the staff were fantastic with him making it a really special night for him. Thank you all for a wonderful night.

Loved it great service lovely food and the staff very welcoming and friendly, will definitely go again 👍

The food was very good,the prices were excellent. It lacked a little on ambience however there was not many customers and this could account for it.

Just had my surprise 50th birthday party at Vesuvio, it was brilliant. Food was great, really well organised and the staff were helpful and very efficient. Would highly recommend.

A really lovely quick dinner. I had the lasagne and the creme brulee. Nice unobtrusive service, great food.

If you like italian food you MUST come here, taste of the food is amazing, lovely friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced too!

Very nice place to dine , great food , good service, and value for money 👍
