"My parents first took me for a birthday meal to an amazing restaurant in the next village (Clapham, Bedfordshire) back in not too long after Vesuvios first opened, I was instantly hooked on the amazing food, fantastic service, and incredible family atmosphere. Family...celebrations happened there regularly for many years, until the restaurant moved to the new site in Sharnbrook. Obviously we followed, and although my father had passed by then, mum's birthday, my birthday, and my brothers, and various anniversaries were celebrated there annually. For the last few years I have also been a regular attendee to car shows there, first as spectator, and then more recently over the last year or so attending with my own supercar. The food, atmosphere and service have never changed, they were amazing plus years ago, and are no different now. Vesuvios and Sharnbrook Hotel in general, in my humble opinion, stand out as the epitome of a family run business geared solely to attending to the total satisfaction of every one who walks through the door. Wish we could award ten stars, although they probably deserve ten times that, long may they continue."

For the price its ok, was slightly dissapointed that the pasta is out of the bag and not made fresh in the kitchen, pizza is OK, but the tiramisu and biscoff cheesecake is brilliant.

I ate here for nights whilst staying at The Sharnbrook Hotel. Every night the food was well cooked and always tasted great. The staff were friendly and polite. I would eat here again.

We attended a Petrolheadonism event and it is without doubt the best day out we have spent. If you were to make a list for every passion interests and kicks This is the U.Ks only place that filled my page with ticks An afternoon...at Sharnbrook spent gives anyone a months worth of instagram epic content.

This was my first visit to this venue. This was for the Petrolhedonism day in early Nov Also was the time I met some fellow Mustang owners. It was a great day there. Plenty of great cars, good music, great BBQ and the...venue had a perfect setting for the event!! Was an excellent day! Thanks for placing it on and look forward to more events there now I know you organise this sort of things! View menu

This used to be our favourite pre-lockdown evening meal, great Italian food, family feel. Sadly it is now an events venue focusing on weddings and highbrow car shows. Lack of service and attentiveness from staff waited over an hour for a simple food order and...when it arrived it was only average at best. Diners around us were complaining too. If you’re looking for good Italian food look elsewhere.

The food and service were all good. The restaurant is in a very large area, and reminds one more of a school assembly area, than a cosy' environment. Undoubtedly this is very good for large scale events, but not so good for a family/friends meal...out, and hence it is lacking in atmosphere. But the food was excellent, although the menu was somewhat limited if you were looking for a rather more ambitious food. The drinks were over priced, as so often is the case at many restaurants.

The place is up for sale so perhaps this reflected itself in the overall service. The waitress was rushed off her feet with little help so could not attend to customer needs as you would expect, most restaurants keep asking if more drinks are needed...as they make money on these. We waited for far to long for food which arrived on cold plates, the food was tasteless and out of our group of could not finish meals as they were poor quality. We ate here a few years ago and it was star then. View menu

Had an amazing little visit to Vesuvio restaurant while staying at the hotel. Young man serving at the bar and hosting was polite and friendly, helpful with any dietary needs or allergies and certainly made our meal more enjoyable. The meal was incredible, had pizza...for myself and partner had a calzone. I thoroughly enjoyed my choice (Ciro Special) which I'd recommend to anyone visiting. Drinks were fresh and all in with the food very well priced. Can't recommend enough to anyone if local or planning a group meal or party and passing by.

"Reminiscing about the great time we had at this place last night! We spent the weekend in Bedford visiting relatives and decided to book this place, because we’re big pizza fiends and the reviews meant it made sense! Have not stopped thinking about the food all day! If you’re lucky enough to know what a proper Neapolitan pizza tastes like and have been chasing the dream of tasting it again… look no further! If you haven’t been to Naples before, then this place takes you there and back in one evening! This is hands down the best pizza outside of Naples! In fact I would go as far as to say that it could easily hold its own amongst the 100s of pizzerias in its birth City! The restaurant itself is casually quirky… named after the owner’s mother, with photos to couple that offer a little glimpse into the owners background with Italian memorabilia for days… including a real vesper hanging on a shelf from the ceiling, you’re hit with the scent of the wood fired oven as soon as you walk through the doors letting you know instantly that you’re in for a treat… the real deal! The relaxed, but upbeat vibe coupled with the warm and attentive welcome and service from the owner and the staff meant it was only fair to start with a round of Aperol Spritzes, which was followed by a number of bottles of delicious Primitivo throughout the meal that ultimately led to some singing and dancing at the end of our meal! We allowed the owner to recommend lots of things off the menu to share and boy did he not disappoint! Everything from pizzas, to pizza rolls to bruschetta meant that we were all able to try the classic Neapolitan pizza base with various different flavours! Highly recommend trying the Pizza Tartufo if you like truffle! I’m Italian and visit Naples most years and the pizza base is up there with the best I’ve tried! Hats off to the pizzaiolas as mastering this culinary delight is not easy! The pork meatballs in tomato sauce and oven roasted cracked pepper and salty ribs were delicious! But aside from the extremely high quality of the pizzas it was a bowl full of cheese and charcuterie that stole the show! Imagine a huge ball of creamy burrata that when cut open released loads of tiny balls of morzarella! It was truly next level! I have never seen or tasted anything quite like it! We finished with a round of espressos and some traditional Italian pastries, which were out of this world! We had such a lovely evening from the food to the wine, service to the vibe it really was exceptional! The only thing I wasn’t happy about was leaving, knowing that this restaurant isn’t on my doorstep! The only saving grace is the avoided damage it would do to my waistline if it was, as I would be here every weekend! Cannot wait to go back!"
