Reviews Summary

Mercato Pompeiano receives high praise for its delicious Italian cuisine, particularly its steaks and pasta dishes, and its cozy atmosphere. Diners often commend the friendly and attentive staff for creating a welcoming experience. However, some guests have noted issues with service responsiveness, particularly with reservations, and occasional billing discrepancies. Despite minor complaints, the overall sentiment highlights a memorable dining experience.

"The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. There was some cork bits in our bottle of wine, and they replaced it right away, which was very appreciated. Our meal was delicious, and the tiramisu was amazing.
A definite must try when you visit Pompeii!"

Lindy Melanson

"Salvatore, Annalise (or maybe it was Rosanna), and Pasquale were fantastic hosts. They were very attentive to our needs! My friend and I shared a Marchigiana Ribeye steak, my wife had ravioli, Joanne had chicken with salad. We were very satisfied with the service, ambiance, food, drinks, and desserts!"

Chris Buckley

"Food was delicious but we didn't feel very welcome. Staff laughed at us when we sat down, we don't know why. We were properly dressed. Yet they asked us if we were sure we didn't want a pizza. We came for a high end dinner but left it with the first course.

They have been staring at us all they way through dinner. They asked my partner if she needed a spoon with her pasta. Quite embarrassing, as she obviously didn't need it. Maybe they wanted to make some more fun of us. But besides us the terrace was empty, not surprising.

They refused to service another party of 4 stating they didn't have vegetarian options, while we were eating vegetarian pastas in front of them.

And of course we were ripped off with the check but that's normal here in Italy. We paid more than the menu said and charged for bread we never ordered and didn't touch.

Food was good though. Bit steep € 58 for these 2 appetizer sized pastas, a glass of wine and a coke."

MERCATO POMPEIANO – DESTINATION NAPLES

Mercato Pompeiano is a gastronomic project developed in Pompeii, which today counts on the restaurant (in via Sacra 13) and on the pizzeria (in via Sacra 8). It all stemmed from our passion: three old friends, Carlo, Gaspare and Giovanni, lovers of good food. Here we have realized our dream, that of embarking on a journey through the goodness of our beautiful country, comparing the territories of Italy, among wines, dishes and quality raw materials.
