La Bettola Del Gusto

An exceptional dining experience! The ambiance was delightful, but what truly stood out was the incredible hospitality of owner Vincenzo. He made us feel like honored guests, ensuring every detail of our meal was perfect. The food was divine, but Vincenzo's warmth and attention truly made our lunch unforgettable. Can't wait to return!

Very good service and food. Higher than standard. Staff very friendly and professional. Thank you for everything. We can strongly recommend this restaurant. Very good starters and fish. Desert also interesting taste we can recommend cheese cake with pistachio.

Let me tell you about this amazing restaurant. When you are in Pompei, you need to eat here. I made a Reservation on my way to Pompei ruins and came after. The service, the atmosphere and the food. Everything was just perfect. The fired pizza was so good!

A wonderful restaurant. Very friendly staff and delicious food. Special service and compliments from the restaurant. They explained to us in great detail what they offer as specialties of the establishment. Suitable for any age. I recommend!

This classic Italian restaurant had a great selection of items. The staff was very helpful with suggestions on specialities and wine selection. Even though we were dressed very casual we still felt welcome among the more well dressed customers.

This was the first restaurant that I have ever seen that had a dietary restrictions / intolerances menu with icons. As a supertaster, this was very helpful.

Overall the price for the food and the experience was worth it! The beginning was a little rocky because I stopped by earlier in the day to get a reservation, however they didn’t write my name down so make sure that you do so!

The food itself was fantastic as were the breadsticks, the waiters were good, however I did find myself feeling like we had to wait longer than I would like.

One of the diners is lactose intolerant and they made a lactose free dessert without us needing to ask, which was a nice surprise.

Overall I think this restaurant is worth a visit if you are in Pompeii. I do want to note that while the food was great from a technical perspective I felt that it and the service lacked some of the homey-ness and heart that have made some of my experiences in Italy truly great and memorable.

We had a lovely dinner with a 6-course menu and wine. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly. Unfortunately we were sitting right on the street where the passing vehicles often had to prove how many horsepower they had, but with such good food we could overlook that. I would love to come back.

Fresh seafood in a nice upscale restaurant at a convenient location (right next to the Pompei station!)

We ordered seafood pasta and ravioli with squid stuffing and pumpkin sauce. The ravioli is very delicious, but the pasta is a bit too dry and salty.

The restaurant gave us many complimentary sides such as the fried dough with cauliflower and even two small glasses of prosecco.

The service is very good too. Would recommend a visit!

Great restaurant with delicious, good value and local food. Ambiance and staff are very pleasant and professional. They were able to adjust to our needs because we were in a rush.

We had the parmigiana antipasti. Spaghettoni with anchovies and black truffle, pasta with fresh lobster and the grilled seafood platter. All dishes were terrific, the pasta was fresh and had a good bite. Seafood was extremely fresh, well prepared and rite rare-ness. The tuna was really extraordinary.

The price is very fair for the food and service you receive. All in all €67 excl tip. Also did not drink alcohol.

Amazing place! A must go if you are at Pompeii. Such excellent food and service, we were blown away with the food in terms of quality, taste and presentation. Simply Perfecto! All 4 of us had a wonderful night after a exciting day at the Pompeii ruins of Villa Misteri!

Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Came to pick us up at hotel and even sent us back. Easily the best dinner we’ve had in Italy! Prices were reasonable and reflect the quality and taste! It’s no wonder they are listed on the Michelin Guide from 2013-2017! Must try if you enjoy good quality Italian at a reasonable price!

Thank you so much!

Really nice dinner quality/price. Cozy place with original dishes. Fancy but not exaggerated. Waiters were really kind also helping with chosing what to eat and drink. They also offered us a little starter and dessert.
Personally I would prefer a shorter menu because making a choice was a bit difficult.

The food was amazing with a wide variety between fish and meat. We had both and it was equally good and tasty. The prices are not overall expensive for Italy. Absolutely worth going there.
And try the tiramisu!

Sophisticated place, Michelin star winner. To drink, we had an Aperol Spritz and a Pompei Drink (8€ each). For appetizers, we ordered an octopus with polenta and one antipasto with tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, arugula and a bread with chestnuts (our favorite dish of the night). For the main course we chose the risotto with Gorgonzola cheese, coffee, walnuts in the pear reduction.

The food was extremely good and the staff very knowledgable and friendly. I would definitely eat here again. This restaurant is high-end compared to the restaurants in this touristic area. I checked the negative reviews and they seem to be tourists who just notice it on the street and walk in for a quick lunch: I don't think this is the right place for them. If you are planning a proper lunch or dinner, with high quality, then reserve a table here for the proper experience.

What a pleasant surprise. Spaghetti with buffalo butter and fresh anchovies, risotto with a touch of cafe, fried artichoke and octopus. Great deserts and a reasonably priced wine list. Price value ratio, a solid 5 on a weak 30.12.2021 corona ridden week.

So we decided to go a bit up market for our lunch in Pompeï. It did cost us a bit more, but worth every cent. The food was totally delicious and the service wonderful, including some nice tasters they gave us. Highly recommended.

Very interesting Italian cuisine. We selected the chef’s course where the chef selects the courses. Tried things we never imagined. First class service.

Great way to experience something new.

We found this restaurant on TripAdvisor. It was one of the most rated restaurants in Pompeii and it was located near our airbnb and the train station. We had spent all day walking through Pompeii and went straight to the restaurant where I had made a reservation. This was by far the best service which I received on my Europe trip so far. The staff are very professional and nice and the food was fantastic. The prices were very reasonable as well.

Highly recommended! Friendly staff and amazing meals.

We choose this restaurante face to the proximity to our hotel, and we had there two amazing dinners.
The dish's among fish, pasta and meat were all really creatives, tasty and delicious.
With a friendly service staff, english speakers and a Chef who surprise us with a special version (out of the menu) of octopus dish, really great.
For the dessert after tried some offers, there was one who made all the difference, tiramisu.
Highly recommended!...
