We just had takeout, the veal family meal which came with potatoes and vegetables, a pasta dish, and Caesar salad. Everything was delicious. We were all impressed and enjoyed the food.

First time at Vesuvio Ristorante, and with all the glowing reviews, I expected a stellar experience. What I got instead was a disorganized mess. Waiting 30 minutes just to place our order was frustrating enough, but the outrageous 1 hour and 40-minute wait for our food was simply unacceptable.
If they were short-staffed, they should have informed customers upfront about the extended wait time, 2 hours!!!!!. After nearly two hours, the food finally arrived, only to be bland and tasteless—not even close to worth the wait. The only saving grace was the live performers, who were enjoyable and added some ambiance. However, I won’t be returning, as I refuse to waste my time on a restaurant that can't manage basic service. I hope your experience is better.

My partner and I came here for our two year anniversary last night. It was our first time trying this place. It had a classy atmosphere, with a very clean-cut type of look. The waiter was intuitive, very polite, and we felt well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious. I love Italian, and Vesuvio's certainly exceeded my expectations in both taste, variety of options, and portion size. We both had a wonderful time at dinner here. Thank you so much, Vesuvios and staff! We will definitely be returning some time soon.
One of the best authentic Italian restaurants I’ve been to in Brampton. Because of our dietary restrictions(Vegetarian-Jain) not many restaurants are able to accommodate our request. At Vesuvio, the owner himself was kind enough to listen to us and make a special pizza and pasta per our needs.
The atmosphere was amazing as they had live music in the evening. We also danced on some romantic songs after dinner. Very good experience and would highly recommend Vesuvio to anyone wanting to have some authentic food and an amazing experience.
Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian option
Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate Jain food (without onion garlic)

Fried calamari was alright, tasted alright but looked like it was the frozen kind. No pizza and salads available the night I went which is disappointing. The only reason I wanted to go to this place. Overall, not anything special.

From the time we stepped into the restaurant to the time we left, the service and attention to detail were amazing. The food spectacular and the atmosphere top … esp. with the live music. If a restaurant can serve a pasta dish with all types of seafood and it doesn’t taste fishy, but it taste fresh … you know they are for real! The server and the “owner” served up the best experience we’ve had at a restaurant in a long time! Plus they don’t insist on 18%+ tips (which they absolutely deserved) like many others who don’t even deserve 5%! Our family of 4 fully enjoyed the experience and we’ll go back again!
Dietary restrictions: We asked them for halal and no alcohol… they did have some cool options! Thank you!
Manicotti came out still frozen inside, so it’s obviously not fresh. Sent back and came out only tepid. Tasted like freezer burn. Service friendly but slow. Live music WAY too loud. Won’t be coming back.

A beautiful place. The people are super friendly. Food is amazing.
Vegetarian options: we had 1 person that couldn't eat onion or garlic...they made butter cheese pasta with grilled veggies ? everything was so delicious
Parking: You can park in the underground parking lot it's free ....right across the restaurant and by the city hall
The pasta will blow you away. The quality of ingredients is top notch. The fact that the owner put us in our own family room to accommodate our young children was very courteous. Thanks.

What a great location right in the heart of downtown Brampton. This place has been around for a long time and they are serving up some delicious Italian eats. I had the gnocchi, aperol spritz, caprese salad and their home made tiramisu. It was all delicious!!! I highly recommend!

Returned to our favourite restaurant tonight. Fantastic welcome back from Maurizio. Wonderful food as usual. Not sure why other restaurants can’t offer reasonably priced wine like this place. Tiramisu a lovely finishing touch to amazing pasta entrees. Thank you!

My wife and I spent many nights here when we lived in Brampton. It was our "go-to" restaurant for many years. So many years that our regular waiter, Maurizio, back then is now the owner! Maurizio even remembered us even after we had moved away 10 years ago. The food was amazing. He has completely redone the ristorante! It's beautiful. Amazing b&w pictures of Italy on the walls. Gorgeous. Great service! Friendly staff! Family outing or a nice date night, this is the ace to go. Thank you my friend, we'll be back as often as we can!
