Quick info
About Vesuvius Restaurant
Vesuvius Restaurant is an Italian restaurant on Lower Stone Street in Maidstone, run by Italian owners who serve authentic Italian food across a menu that covers pizza, lunch and takeout alongside the full restaurant offering. The kitchen draws on the regional Italian cooking tradition, and the room opens for lunch service as well as main meals. Orders for collection are taken at the counter for those wanting to eat off site, and the street-level dining room sits a short walk from Maidstone town centre. The team runs the front of house and the kitchen together, keeping service direct and the food order-led rather than table-set. A takeaway service is available throughout opening times for nearby streets. The Lower Stone Street site places the restaurant within easy reach of Maidstone's shopping and bus routes.
