"Sono andato in questo ristorante per una serata enogastronomica organizzata in collaborazione con la cantina vinicola Omnia Romana con la partecipazione di quattro diversi chef, una cena ad “otto mani” L’esterno del locale non mi ha colpito particolarmente, anzi, ma l’interno è suddiviso in due sale di cui una molto ampia con un bellissimo arredato ed un favoloso tavolo gigante al centro dove accomodare molti ospiti La mise en place minimale, come in voga ora, senza tovaglia con dei splendidi bicchieri e belle posate mi è piaciuta. Si viene accolti veramente bene da un gentilissimo maitre ed il personale è professionale, sarà stato che durante un evento ci si può distrarre, sono state delle piccolissime sbavature nel servizio al mio tavolo, inezia, che solo un pignolo come me può notare, banalità perdonabili Essendo una serata speciale potrò raccontare solo del cibo dell’evento e non del menu abituale, ma uno dei quattro cuochi è il resident chef Gian Marco Carli, quindi lo stile di cucina identificabile. Ho assaggiato portate molto interessanti da ristorante blasonato. particolarmente apprezzata la “zuppa selvatica tra orti e lampare” dello chef Lorenzo Montoro e la “Tartare di Marango arrosto” con sopra una “cenere di cipollotto” dello chef Francesco Sodano Spettacolari i dessert Della cantina Omnia Romana mi ha colpito lo Chardonnay Ars Magna, di cui mi sono portato una bottiglia a casa ! Ora non mi resta che tornarci per assaggiare il menu abitualmente servito e vedere la carta dei vini Esperienza molto positiva"

"This dining experience was utterly ruined by the appalling service. Admittedly we did not book in advance so we had a table outside, right at the end of the row. However we gladly accepted this. We then had bread and water delivered to the table. We then had to ask for menus, then ask for drinks before waiting a further 35 minutes before anyone came to take our order. The wine list was 34 pages on an iPad plonked in front of us! We ordered a bottle of Rose and a glass of red wine, which arrived in about 10 minutes. The wine was opened with due ceremony, including sniffing the wine cork) and poured into three of our glasses. Despite having purchased the bottle it was taken away by the waiter. My wife then pursued the waiter into the restaurant to inform him we had purchased the bottle so could we please have it back at the table. Food arrived, which to be fair was good. I asked for another glass of red wine 10 minutes later it hadn’t arrived so we asked again. Another 10 minutes, it still hadn’t arrived. When it did I had finished my meal, so I sent it away. The whole episode was largely down to the incompetence of a new member of staff, but nevertheless one has to question the level of training this person has received and how well they are supervised. This restaurant purports to be more upmarket and towards the fine dining end of things it needs to ensure its staff are of equally high quality!"

"Overall, one of the better restaurants in Pompeii and certainly the best one in this part of town. Two spaces: inside and outside veranda. Ate outside which had a very nice pergola. Deep gravel floor made seating uneven. No clear separation between smoking and non. Table clothes would better fit the style restaurant is going for. Perhaps because I came early (to be expected after 6+ hours in the scavi? but the service was mediocre. Waitstaff spoke English and used English menus; however, having the original Italian on the menus and speaking Italian when the guest knows Italian avoids confusion. Food came before the wine (had to remind them that I ordered wine . Was brought the wrong wine or at least charged for the riserva rather than normal. Uncorked at table, but not asked to check cork. I also do not understand why so many Tuscan wines on the list when in great wine country. Was forgotten at times as I was the only person outside, despite a server coming out to bus the other tables outside. There was confusion with the only other table outside (left before my pasta . They were charged for my meal. Problem was clarified, but should not have happened in n uncrowded restaurant. Own it and the guests will thank you. Picky? Not if you want to pass as upscale. The food was good, but not for the price. The Amuse-bouche/canapé was a nice touch but hard bread. Clear it had been sitting around. Mussel appetizers were tepid and needed more spice, accompanying bread hard. Unclear if fresh. Pasta (mussels with beans was quite good, hot and savory, nice for a cool evening. No Secondo. Contorno (veg. side; I had the grilled vegetables was decent, nothing special. Dessert trio was ok, nothing special. Overall, very good for the location (there are better restaurants in town that cost less . I would like to have seen more truly seasonal and local dishes. As we have family near in the area of Pompeii and I have been coming to Italy for 25+ years, this is not a stretch."
