Reviews Summary
Ristorante Pizzeria Donna Imma is a charming, local spot praised for its authentic Neapolitan pizzas and generous seafood pasta dishes. While some reviewers mention limited English proficiency and occasional service delays, the delicious food and friendly, family-run atmosphere often make it a worthwhile visit, especially after exploring the nearby Herculaneum ruins.
"Small mom and pop shop, kind of whole in the wall. Very good food and service. The menus were in Italian, and the waiters spoke little or no English. Their mimosa pizza was so good, and I would recommend you happen to go. They also have seafood pasta dishes as well, which were good if you like clams!"
Tara Miller
"Very small and local place. As said in previous reviews, the English is limited but my husband luckily speaks Italian so not an issue for us.
Barcode scanner on the table gives you an English menu. The food was beautiful and cooked to perfection.
Busy place for takeaway, we were there fairly early so not sure how busy it gets for people eating in, although there are only 6 tables so best to reserve."
Denise Thompson
"We literally walked all the way here after our Herculaneum visit and were very eager to try their pizza and pasta from many great reviews. We were pretty hesitant to try because we were the only customers at that time, thinking perhaps we made a not-so-okay decision to walk here, and we’re delighted we tried it. It took us a while to get the food, but the best part was they served Margarita and SCIALATIELLI Seafood at the same time so my husband and I could enjoy eating at the same time. The pasta, Al dente, generous seafood, and the flavor were incredible - not so salty, which I love. As for the pizza, it is simple yet has excellent flavors.
We ordered the lava cake with coffee - though the coffee could have been much better, I guess it's because we ordered Americano; maybe that's why it's not as strong as we wanted.
We paid 36.50€ for a bottle of Sparkling water too. Overall very satisfied customers and happy to recommend this place; even quite a walk - it's worth it."
