  “The food was absolutely delicious, everything was really tasty and well prepared. However, unfortunately, the atmosphere and the way families with children were treated left a lot to be desired. For a restaurant that presents itself as family-friendly, we expected a little more empathy and understanding towards families with children. It was not a restaurant where children were not allowed, so I feel there should be a certain level of tolerance and understanding when welcoming families. Children are part of family life, and not every child will sit completely still or quietly throughout an entire meal. I believe a family restaurant should be prepared for this and make families feel comfortable and welcome. The food was excellent, but unfortunately the atmosphere made us feel less welcome than we had expected.”

The food, wow! A big menu with a great variety of choice. The food was incredible, great flavour, well cooked and ample serving sizes. I cannot wait to eat there again.”

  “First time dining here. A friend's 80th Birthday Dinner, it was absolutely brilliant iced water waiting on the table as we entered, [very grateful as 34 degrees outside] air conditioning working but just enough to keep you comfortable superb thank you. I had the Sardines to start and followed by the Calves liver bacon and mash superb melt in the mouth. Finished with a very sharp lemon sorbet and black coffee my end to a very hot but very beautiful day Happy birthday John they saw and treated you well We are going back to arrange family party.”

  “Don't normally write lots of reviews but have to say the service here and food was amazing! We stopped by for a quick saturday lunch. Staff were very friendly and accommodating esp with the kids. Food came out quick, hot, fresh and super tasty! As a vegetarian myself there was plenty of options. Kids ate all thier spagetti for once and not donated it to the floor after a few bites. Says it all! This was our second visit but we have decided we will be back more often! Would highly recommend!”

  “The food was so good that I didn’t even have time to take pictures of the starters or the mains, that says it all. Here’s the dessert of the day: a delicious cannolo siciliano! The staff were incredibly accommodating, making sure we had a great table for our kids and taking excellent care of us throughout. They deserve more than 5 stars. Highly recommended!”

  “We went for my mum and dad’s 60th wedding anniversary. And couldn’t be happier with the choice. The staff were amazing, so welcoming and accommodating- nothing was too much trouble. They even put our banners up etc to celebrate this special occasion. We gave them the cake to bring out and was just amazing - the staff joined in. There were 11 of us and everyone had something different. 3 courses had by most and everything was thoroughly enjoyed. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be going back.”

  “My second dining experience at Il Vesuvio Restaurant and Pizzeria in Bexleyheath, near the clock tower. The seafood spaghetti was overly salty and lacked distinction. Furthermore, the service was subpar, the ambiance excessively noisy, and the overall pace felt rushed, detracting from what should have been an enjoyable birthday celebration.”

  “Portions are generous. In general dishes cooked with passion. We enjoyed everything we ordered, including the baked eggplant with cheese in tomato sauce, lobster and crab meat lasagna which was rich in flavor, and lamb shank with mesh which was hearty. All in all a delightful experience.”

  “The best Italian restaurant you can find in London. The food is absolutely delicious, couldn't believe how tasty it was and the meals are so generous, all the ingredients they use are really high quality , the staff is so friendly and helpful and you get the food within minutes. So definitely 5 stars from me .”

  “We enjoyed authentic Italian dining experience here. The restaurant was somewhat busy on a Sunday night and seemed to be a popular place with the locals. We selected the Baked Avocado for a starter and for our entrees we selected the chicken pasta and the scampi pasta. Our food was robust and flavorful. The service was impeccably attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is casual, comfortable and very clean.”
