Viva lo Re In Ercolano

Stunning fine dining restaurant. Both wine and food is immaculate.

One of the very best meals we had in 2 weeks across Rome, Florence and Naples.

We visited for lunch during our day visit to Ercolano. An excellent meal; the best we had during our week. And the best value for money too! We had the house starter which was a selection of very tasty cooked starters, including an excellent parmigiana, again, the best we have ever had. Main course was equally as tasty with good portions and good meat. Even the bread selection was better quality than usual. It was the desert we remember most. Fine dining quality but good portions. Chocolate and bitter orange - highly recommended. The service was friendly with an enthusiastic English which was fortunately better than our enthusiastic Italian and added to our experience.

I ate at the restaurant a few weeks ago...the dishes were well represented and the quality of the ingredients was high...honestly, compared to some time ago, it has lost a little of its authenticity.

Lovely restaurant, gorgeous food, nice staff. Made a reservation here after our visit to Herculaneum and it's was so worth it. Small menu which is usually a good sign, friendly staff and everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. We ordered the artichokes and the veal carpaccio, the timballo and a cherry tart, all of which were gorgeous, choice of wine (primitive) was recommended and again it was a great choice, highly recommend a visit, make sure to reserve a table 😋😋

Unbelievable experience, good was exceptional and staff were delighted to see our baby. Lovely environment to enjoy wonderful food and wine. Italian speaking waitresses made it feel all the more authentic. Would love to come again.

Wonderful dinner, with attention and care in handling the ingredients. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Excellent restaurant, quality-conscious, carefully selected wines. I recommend it.

Refined restaurant with a huge space dedicated to wine, excellent dishes prepared with care

When bad service overshadows good food... I was at this place a few weeks ago with some friends. We arrived and asked to leave our coats (it's winter, they're long, and we can't keep them behind the chairs). They replied that there's no cloakroom and we had to keep them ourselves. The result: coats dragging on the floor. They assigned us to a table where we risked falling down the stairs. We asked to change, since the room was empty, but they said no because it wasn't heated. We ordered white wine, which arrived and was good. We ordered red wine, a Primitivo, which wasn't on the wine list. I told the waiter about the new red wine selection, a Jungano—an easy bottle in Campania—and it wasn't there. So I chose a Valpolicella Ripasso Zenato, which was on the list, but that wasn't there either. The owner arrived and suggested a wine, which we confirmed. It took 40 minutes from ordering the first bottle to ordering the last one. We asked the owner again, but he said, "If you don't want it, I won't bring it to you." We were just asking for a little speed, as the white wine and appetizers had already arrived. We had ordered four appetizers, and one arrived incorrectly because the waitress had misplaced it. We waited another 20 minutes for the correct appetizer. Between the appetizer and the main course, a large group of people arrived and sat down in the adjacent room. They received their appetizers and bread, and then, finally, our main course arrived. We then asked the waiter for bread, and he replied that it was out of stock (10:23 PM). Later, when the main course arrived at the table in the dining room, they also served bread. I asked the waitress how that was possible, and she replied, "They had saved it for you." Summary: It's a shame that in a restaurant where the food is objectively good, everything is ruined by terrible service and rude staff. We paid €60 each and for a bill like that, even though the food is top-notch, this McDonald's level of service is unacceptable.
