Great Italian food but a little pricey! For the location it is trying to be a little to exclusive for me. But the food was very nice.

I wasn't at all sure how good it would be at lunchtime during the week in the context of choice of menu and service. Absolutely first class in both. More than happy to discuss choices and customise to meet differing prefences or tastes. Look forward to going again soon. Knowing it was a birthday occasion even went to lengths to... More

Informal if slightly noisy restaurant with well-cooked food. Delicious! We certainly intend to go again. Friendly service with attention to detail.

Warm welcome, friendly caring staff, tremendous food, wonderful atmosphere, the biggest surprise was how small the bill was. This was our first time using Vesuvio, it will certainly not be the last.

Me and my other half visited for my birthday I can't complain about the food but the service wasn't great. The staff were friendly but it was very busy and we were left waiting to order drinks and had to ask for the dessert menu which took quite a while to get to us so I didn't want a dessert.... More

Let me firstly discredit this review..... Regarding the dessert menu...you were never left waiting for the dessert menu because THEY ARE ON THE TABLE... So if you had asked the staff they would have told you that your dessert menu is on the table for you to see and choose your desserts. Regarding ordering your drinks. I beg to differ... More

Also when we booked it was mentioned it was for a birthday meal and they had put a banner on the wall and on the table which was a nice touch. The staff were... More

Myself and a couple of friends ventured here as I'd seen good things on trip advisor and as one of us lives locally we thought we'd give it a go. Our table was ready when we arrived and by 8 the restaurant was full. Yes its noisy but isn't that a good sign that somewhere is busy and popular. I'd... More

My Mum bought some chairs from ebay and asked us to pick these up. They were in Whittlesey, we live in Kings Lynn. So looked for a restaurant nearby and this was highly rated so tried it. We usually eat at chain Italian restaurants. The restaurant was easy to find, in the centre of the town with FREE parking nearby.... More
