We’ve been wanting to try this place out since we always see the parking lot full. Our server was great but The food was okay it was just way over priced. The bread they serve was nothing special. I ordered the lemon butter sauce shrimp pasta but the sauce was lacking lemon. The kids macaroni was different with white sauce that was pretty good. My husband had chicken parmigiana and some meatballs. I tried a piece of the meatballs to me it was too soft and the flavor kinda tasted like my kids spaghetti and meatballs from a can. For two adults, a teen and 2 kids we paid over $140. My husband said Olive Garden would have been way better and cheaper. But like I told him you won’t know unless you try it yourself!

Had a wonderful first experience last week here. The calamari is a MUST, you won’t regret it. We ordered the lasagna and tilapia… I would reorder the lasagna. You also wouldn’t go wrong asking for Seth. This waiter was attentive and thoughtful, had great recommendations. I’ll be coming back and bringing friends.

Very nice atmosphere ? The food we had was okay pretty basic Italian food. Because I was there for a luncheon and we only got three food choices. I looked at the menu though and they have a lot of other food options. I would recommend go check the place out for yourself ?Parking: The lot is only so big, so if it's a lot of people there during that time you might have issues finding a parking spot. There's nowhere else to park like next door or anything bc there's nothing on either side.

My boyfriend and I came to grab a bite to eat since we haven’t dined in anywhere for quite awhile due to our schedules, we had the most AMAZING experience with SETH as our waiter. He was funny and attentive and overall a beast at maintaining a calm and upbeat vibe while serving 7 or 8 tables at once ! Food was great, I forgot to let him know about my shellfish allergy and he made sure to let me know and accommodate to that . The food was great but the service overall 10/10

I'm not really sure what everyone else leaving reviews received that we did not, but both of us were very disappointed with our meals. The SO got the chicken parmigiana and while pleased with portions, he was disappointed with the food itself. He says the tomato sauce tasted out of a can and the chicken was poorly breaded. I was pretty shocked at the sticker price of the food - lunch pricing included. However, again, the potions are decent. The added on $9 chicken to the already $16 alfredo had no flavor, but was cooked well. The alfredo itself was good, but very water-y.At the end of the day, not worth $70 for an appetizer, two entrees and a tea.

I like a restaurant where the food server is well knowledgeable so I am well guided choosing the dish. We ordered mustard chicken and chicken neopolitana. Both were good but the neopolitana was just amazing. The portion was big enough to fill my tummy also I could take almost half home. The starter bread and oil is yummy too. They use raw garlic and herb rather than toasted which is also tasty.

Food was just ok! My fettuccine Alfredo was watery! Only reason I gave it a 2 star was because our son enjoyed the triple berry tart!

This has been a dining out week for me , & in comparison two the other Italian style restaurants I’ve visited .This has to be the best so far .. from the delicious food , to wonderful drinks, from alcoholic or non- alcoholic options, or just the authenticity of the decor .. You don’t find many restaurants nowadays that hit it out of the park from entry to exit .. I came with friends , and it such a great experience. It is a must try, the 4.4 is well deserved .. In addition to having lovely option for photography.

We arrived with a party of 8. They had a table ready to accommodate us within a few minutes. After we were seated, our drink orders were taken and we received them in a reasonable amount of time. We immediately received little loaves of bread with dipping oil. Our food orders were also taken and received in a reasonable amount of time. The food was hot when it arrived at the table and the pasta dishes were fresh and tasted delicious. The grilled chicken and chicken parmasean was dry and hard to cut but the rest was really good. The waitress was really nice and was very attentive making sure our drinks were always refilled. The music was a little weird because the guy singing karaoke couldn't carry a tune. The ambiance of the restaurant was really nice even though it was showing it's age and obvious repairs are needed. The food was expensive but we expected that before arriving. Overall, we had a really nice experience but I can see why the restaurant could possibly receive lower reviews based on food quality and prices.Kid-friendliness: They had a kids menu and provided colors for the kids to help keep them busy before the meal arrived.Parking: There was plenty of parking available.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible parking spaces were located near the entrance.

Last time we came they didn't have mussels but this time they did, and they were oh so delicious!!! Got it with white wine sauce, that had garlic,basil and herbs in it....so good! Their salmon is always cooked perfectly (forgot to take a pic). Had it with this creamy caper dill sauce and surprisingly it wasn't too heavy. Desert was also delicious (included couple of pics from our last visit also). Service is always on point. It wasn't too busy for a Friday night, got a table right away at 7 pm. Definitely a place I'll visit again.

I forgot how fantastic the shrimp Pompeii is! So decadent and delicious ? Hubby had his favorite, chicken mustard and loved it also. Don’t forget the bread and dipping oil...delicious!!!

We used to live by Pompeii 17 years ago. Last year we rediscovered Pompeii again. The service is great! House wine only $4 dollars a class and you receive a nice pour. We love the Shrimp Pompeii with butter/garlic sauce on the noodles and the Chicken Piccata. The bread is fresh and delicious too. I'm so glad we found Pompeii again.

Exorbitant and over priced. Their lunch specials which aren't really all that special when you're spending way too much. $13-14 for a chicken lunch plate and NO salad! You have to spend an extra $2.50. That's just ridiculous. By the time you add in a drink, tax and tip, you are well over $20 for lunch time. Hard pass!

Consistently good Italian food. The Pompeii special appetizer is a must. We have been ordering out lately and they are quick with well packed food.

Ordered for pick up tonight. They repeated my order back to me, once when I called it in, then again when I picked it up. Hot meal ready when they said it would be. Order filled accurately. Helped me take it to the car. Good experience.
