Absolutely delicious food. Shrimp fra diavolo was unbelievable, bread was definitely fresh baked... I knew this place was good when I saw the little old Italian lady all alone in there at 830 on a Wednesday. This is real deal Italian food !

We had a private event here, buffet style we had many options to choose from and all the food was very good. We had a chicken, fish and pasta option also stuffed breads, roasted potatoes and salad for $21 a person

Most importantly, the food was fresh and tasty! We went for an early dinner and were the only customers there so we were apprehensive. Turns out that meant we got all the attention from the little old lady in the kitchen! She served us like we were family! Loved it. Good food. Clean. Food was hot. Service great.

I actually found Pompeo’s on Google Maps minutes before driving into their parking lot. My wife and I noticed there was only one other car in the lot at around 6pm on a Saturday! She thought that was a bad sign and wanted to leave. My brother and sister-in-law were in the car next to us and also hesitated. I encouraged all to give the place a chance, plus it was raining and I didn’t want to drive around looking for another Italian restaurant. We stepped inside and didn’t see a soul in sight. We called out a lone woman who I believe was the owner came out and seated us. She was the only person we saw in the restaurant the entire time we were there. She was wonderful and attended to our needs and we all enjoyed talking with her every time she came out with a drink or dish. We couldn’t figure out why the place was empty on a Saturday night as the food was excellent! If you’ve read my previous restaurant reviews, you know my German wife is extremely picky about restaurant food because she’s a great cook in her own right. Well, she loved her penne ala vodka and took half home and ate it for lunch the next day and she NEVER does that! I loved the flavor of my Margherita pizza with ham, however, I was disappointed that it didn’t come with fresh cut tomatoes and basil. The calamari appetizer was delicious, but a little on the salty side. My brother loved his Veal w/pasta and my sister-in-law loved her stuffed cod w/broccoli. The prices for the dishes were very reasonable in the mid teens and plentiful. I would love to keep Pompeo’s to myself and not share them to the public because it was nice to not having to wait in line or spend an arm and a leg for their delicious food. Go check them out and you’ll thank me later. Oh, and did I mention the warm fresh Italian bread and fresh house salad?

There home made fried mozzarella is nothing more than frozen mozzarella sticks.There pizza was so so. The sauce was pretty bland. Only one other couple in the restaurant so there was no wait

Just had my bridal shower here- the food was delicious but the owner is very sneaky and charged us for people we didn’t have and was not clear on communication. Overcharged $200. Beware and count your place settings at the beginning of the meal. Check and double check

I know you can barley see the picture because my sister squished it but I ordered a dish and it came with a fruit fly on the dish on the outer edge I told our waitress about it and she told me it was oregano when the dish I had ordered did not have oregano in it an then my mother had told her and she gave her attitude saying it wasn’t then while my mother was telling her she walked away refusing the fact that it was a bug and that’s also leaving out the fact it took 2 hours for our food to come out and we also ordered garlic bread and had whole garlic cloves come out in it we didn’t want to make a fuss about it but it was a one time thing we went in there with the thought don’t knock it till you try it but this was definitely a knock never again are we going there!!!

I thought the food was great, except for the undercooked Calamari.

Family place that was recommended to us and we tried it. Loved it.Service was friendly and warm. Food has the home made feeling we love and the fresh flavors we crave.from the warm bread to the tiramisu, we enjoyed everything we ordered.Will Be Back.
