Very terrible experience! The mussels in my and my friend’s spaghetti were spoiled and taste nasty.? I threw up. The waiter and chef seems indifferent and even didn’t apologise.

Always a great meal at this place! And priced very reasonably for Los Altos. You cannot go wrong here.
Delicious Pizzas and Lasagna with pefect service ! Two thumbs up !
Vegetarian options: Their veggie gourmet pizza was outstanding !
Kid-friendliness: We were there with our infant in a stroller and it was accomodating to seat there.

We were going to try out a newer restaurant to celebrate a milestone event, however, decided to dine at Pompeii. Why? Because it is our favorite Italian restaurant and we can always depend on outstanding food and service. In fact it is our favorite Los Altos restaurant. One of us had the Daily Special, Osso Bucco that was absolutely so tender and served hot. And the other had their Veal Parmesan which is not always listed on the menu but if you ask for it they will serve it. If I am not getting seafood I many times will opt for the veal parmesan as it is so tender and a very generous serving. Having food allergies I find they are so very accommodating and willing to substitute side dishes or adjust the main course. Their calamari as an appetizer never disappoints - always tender and delicious. We were too full for dessert however their Tiramisu is one of THE BEST! We also like their selection of wine by the glass.

This one of our favorite restaurants, so we decided to take our out of town guest here for dinner. We sat outdoors while the weather is still beautiful. Everyone's meal was delicious and the service was, as always, efficient and friendly. Thank you and we'll be back again soon!

Pompeii has been a favorite for many years and never fails to delight. If it weren't such a small restaurant, I'd highly recommend... but if I did, I'd never get a table! ?

Outside tables are along the street which is ok. Ambience? No. There were 4 of us. Only 1 beer 3 sodas. 4 dinners. No appetizers. 2 desserts. Over $200 I had crab risotto. Not much flavor. Others had lasagna (huge portion) gnocchi (just ok) chicken parm ( no complaints. Just didn't feel good and local was with price. Service was very “not rushed”. Bordering on inattentive.
This restaurant should have red and white checkered tablecloths. It's that kind of Italian restaurant, not a fine dining Italian restaurant. That being said, this restaurant is is fine for anybody looking for that type of menu and food. It is not a date night restaurant.
We've been going to Pompeii a couple of times a month for the last 7 year. Always great service and reasonable priced wine and food. I asked why they decided to finally use Open Table and they said to advertise more. Darn, I liked being able to walk in without a rez.

Pompeii, new to Opentable but not new to my wife and I who have been dining there almost every week for well over ten years. What brings us back each week is their friendly, attentive, and most accommodating staff, along with some of the greatest pasta dishes we've tasted. We'll take Pompeii over New York's Little Italy or San Francisco's North Beach anytime. What astonishes us is the consistency in the food preparation, especially when it comes to pasta. My wife always has her eye on the daily specials; her two favorites are the pork chop and the veal chop. Consistently great. She's never disappointed. Pompeii's pizza and desserts are awesome. The pizza is equal to or better than the places that only specialize in pizza. No matter what you order you won't be disappointed (we haven't been in over a decade).

Pompeii food is made with love and very tasty. They make delicious bread rolls onsite.
Forget overrated, big name franchises where you are lucky to see fettuccine or tortellini on the menu and pay top dollar for sad looking pizza. Oh yeah and cocktails that come out of a tap.
