I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterraneanella città Pompei della Napoli

09/02/2026: We had an AMAZING meal here. My mom, who doesn’t enjoy fish, actually ate fish for the first time ever! The service was top notch. We’ll be back

25/01/2026: Recommended by the accommodation as the best seafood restaurant, but it was more of a wine shop, though the service was excellent. The portions were quite small, and the mixed platter had more squid than anything else, but the wine selection was outstanding. Unfortunately, the seafood wasn't great, and the prices were rather high. However, they did offer complimentary sparkling wine and a small appetizer. You have to appreciate the service, but the advice was very good, although I unfortunately made the wrong choice, except for the wine, which had a very good selection.

27/11/2025: From the way it's presented, I would have expected a little more. Let's start with the outside: it's a small, average-sized restaurant, and when I went, you couldn't even see it because it was hidden by external scaffolding. The food is good, but nothing spectacular you'd expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The prices are high, despite it being a Michelin-starred establishment.

21/11/2025: Today, thanks to our daughter, who gave us a culinary journey at the President restaurant in Pompeii, we had a wonderful experience. We were welcomed by Mrs. Laila with kindness and grace, who accompanied us throughout the lunch, introducing us to each dish prepared by the chef. Living proof that Chef Paolo Gramaglia's Michelin star isn't a whim, but a guarantee. The cuisine combines impeccable technique and profound local flavors, with dishes that express Campania without ever falling into the predictable. Attentive service, an elegant dining room, and a gastronomic journey that flows like a well-written story. An experience worth the trip—and one that will remain fondly remembered. Thanks to Chef Paolo and his wife for this wonderful experience.

04/01/2026: Beautiful location, very charming. The meat is excellent quality and delicious. The sandwiches are equally delicious.

31/12/2025: Impeccable service and food at the top

17/01/2026: Wonderful! The best pasta I've ever tasted, and they even have gluten-free pasta! Excellent wine and spectacular service! Thank you for the experience!

17/01/2026: What a treat! Just outside Pompeii is this small, classic Italian restaurant. Lucius attended to us from the very first moment with the utmost care, then changed his clothes and went into the kitchen to cook. They also have a full gluten-free menu available with the same high quality. I highly recommend it; we left delighted with the food, the service, and the authentic atmosphere.

18/01/2026: Tasty food. Good service. Tourist prices.

16/01/2026: The staff were incredibly friendly; the waiter was very nice and funny. I would definitely return because the food is spectacular and of excellent quality. 10/10 for this place, it's the best!

30/12/2025: Refined restaurant. Excellent cuisine. Must try.

18/11/2025: Service was excellent. Food was Michelin star worthy.

03/02/2026: During the time we were there, there was hardly anyone there... but the food was spectacular.

24/01/2026: Tavern "like it used to be" with friendly staff. Top-quality, tasty food cooked in a traditional way. Super fair bill. The best place to eat in the center of Pompeii 💕

30/12/2025: Exquisite dishes and impeccable service. A true Italian restaurant in Pompeii. Top!

27/12/2025: Beautiful, clean place, very welcoming staff, and quality food! Excellent.

30/12/2025: The restaurant was a pleasant discovery. The owners are very courteous, kind, and helpful. They were able to accommodate my needs even after I disclosed my vegan diet. The restaurant is very well-maintained, clean, and suitable for any occasion. The dishes I was offered (different each time) far exceeded my expectations; they were excellent. The quality of the ingredients is high. Kudos to the young owners for believing in tradition but also in culinary innovation.

06/12/2025: Lira is a family-run gem, and it shows: the service is welcoming, friendly, and professional; the menu cleverly combines tradition and local ingredients with modern culinary techniques and concepts, resulting in elegant and surprising dishes; and finally, the prices are very fair for an experience I absolutely recommend to anyone looking for something special.

13/01/2026: Excellent base for visiting the Amalfi Coast

03/01/2026: Excellent location for getting around both on the Circumvesuviana and in the direction of Salerno...convenient because it is very close to ancient Pompeii

01/02/2026: Everything was delicious, even the gluten-free options (the restaurant is AIC certified). Excellent service. A pleasant discovery! Highly recommended.

09/01/2026: Lunch today, the only table occupied. Nice place, very friendly waiter. The fish and chips and gnocchi were good, but the octopus salad didn't smell good and tasted unpleasant: the entire plate was returned to the waiter. It's okay, it happens, but it's not fair that the apology didn't arrive until the receipt was issued. The kitchen immediately verified that it was indeed the wrong dish, but neither the owner nor the chef approached the table even to offer an alternative (even though we were the only ones in the entire place), nor even the "good gesture" of offering a liqueur at the end while we were still seated... A small detail, but it's the details that make the difference for the customer (unless you want to target the hit-and-run tourist)!

11/02/2026: A very welcoming place, with a warm and pleasant atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food is truly delicious, prepared with care and attention to quality. The owner is very friendly and always available, while the staff is qualified, professional, and attentive to customer needs. A place to definitely return!

10/02/2026: In my opinion, the restaurant suffers from three structural weaknesses: Insufficient culinary quality, Poor service processes, A lack of hospitality. At first glance, the restaurant appears discreet and tidy, suggesting a restaurant standard that is at least adequate. However, the overall experience was highly disappointing in terms of quality, organization, and interpersonal relationships. From a gastronomic standpoint, the gnocchi can only be described as adequate: lacking character, with an average consistency but without any particular distinctive note that warrants a positive rating. This first course alone indicates a cuisine that pays little attention to the value of its ingredients. The real sticking point was the second course, a steak. The meat was of poor quality, tough, sinewy, and difficult to chew. It was cooked inappropriately, not meeting the minimum standards expected in a restaurant catering to the public. This, in my opinion, constitutes a significant lack of professionalism in kitchen management. Added to this is a procedural issue: I had expressly ordered only the steak, but it was arbitrarily served with unsolicited baked potatoes. This practice constitutes a violation of proper service and transparency towards the customer, as it alters the agreed-upon order and potentially even the final price without prior consent. The calamari stuffed with broccoli was also unsatisfactory: the filling was bland, lacking in flavor balance and adequate culinary preparation. Overall, the food offerings appear standardized, lacking in research, and qualitatively below the minimum expectations for a restaurant in the medium-low range. From the perspective of the overall experience, the restaurant does not convey any welcoming atmosphere. Despite the name evoking the concept of "cheerfulness," this characteristic is not reflected in the atmosphere or, more importantly, in the behavior of the staff. In particular, the cashier displayed a dismissive, sullen, and unprofessional attitude: at the time of payment, he didn't ask any questions about the meal's progress, he didn't smile, and he didn't show the slightest attention to the customer. This behavior is incompatible with the minimum standards of courtesy required in the restaurant industry and demonstrates a lack of respect for customers. In light of the above, the restaurant may be considered merely a quick fix for an unpretentious business lunch, but it is in no way recommended for those seeking quality, attentive service, or customer care. The overall quality of the food is poor, and the staff's attitude further degrades the experience.

20/02/2026: Good and varied breakfast, very close to the entrance to the Pompeii Amphitheater. Private parking and a very convenient on-site restaurant with excellent food.

09/02/2026: We stayed there for 3 days, everything was efficient and we were satisfied with everything, especially with the breakfast staff, Maria and Massimo. It's difficult to find such well-prepared staff. We'll be back. I recommend it, located in front of the entrance to the Pompeii excavations.
