I had the chicken Alfredo with broccoli. We also ordered a pizza to go for later. Service was excellent. Was not used to the pizza with the meat like they did it though. It wasn't bad.

We were staying at nearby Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views in our trailer when we decided to try out Il Vesuvio after quite a few high recommendations. We were sure glad we did! We ordered the pizza with half pepperoni (kinda interesting that the "half" option was only offered with pepperoni but not a big deal; I understand custom orders can get a bit tricky) and a side of wings. Both were super tasty and definitely recommended. It's obvious the employees work very hard to keep their patrons happy from the excellent food to very friendly and accommodating service. When not waiting on their patrons, they're running around tidying up and keeping themselves busy. Also happy to strike up conversations on what to do around Luray and other places to visit.An overall great experience, we'll also highly recommend Il Vesuvio as well!

Pizza, pasta, and calzone was delicious. Definitely a hidden gem in Luray. Waiter was friendly, patient, and attentive. Prices were fantastic! The marinara sauce alone was worth coming back for.

Worst Marguerite pizza ever. I am guessing they had a shortage of cheese and garlic.

Go somewhere else. It took over and hour to get a pizza. Several people were arriving to get their food and waiting a long time for a place that was not busy. Two other people ended up cancelling their orders because of the massive wait.

While visiting from out of state to check out the Caverns, we stopped in for dinner and was not disappointed. The meatball sub & pizza were delicious. Our waitress (Chasidy) was very helpful and nice. If we are ever back in the area, we would definitely return!

Excellent Margarita Pizza, excellent garlic knots. Great prices, highly recommend. A true test of a pizza maker is how they make the humble margarita pizza - they do a fabulous job. Thin crust, crispy where it needs to be, flavorful sauce and just the right amount of mozzarella and fresh basil.Kid-friendliness: It’s great pizza. If your kids don’t like it, something’s wrong with your kid, not the pizza.

First time eating here today and we had a great experience. Great portions for the price and even better…everything was absolutely delicious! We tried the garlic knots, split a calzone and ended lunch with a cannoli each. 10/10 would recommend.

Food was average. Dined in and ordered sodas thinking we were getting refillable fountain but they gave us bottles sodas (for $3). Dining area was minimal as they seem to cater to take

Stopped here a couple years ago, but wanted to update my review to include details that may help when choosing a place to eat.We Stopped in Luray and couldn't figure out where to eat, so we asked the lady at the front desk of the hotel we were staying at, and she highly recommended this restaurant.We didn't know what to expect when we walked in, the outside looked a little rundown and dated. The service was fantastic and they had some of the best chips I've ever had, definitely a hidden gem when traveling through and a must stop. The employees were very helpful and nice. I was looking for something extra extra spicy and the cooks there went above and beyond trying to make me the spicest sauce they could. Seen them a couple of times looking out from back in the kitchen to see if it was spicy enough lol. They did amazing with the ingredients they had readily available.The food was so delicious and we look forward to eating here again when ever life brings us back through town.
