    We were going to try out a newer restaurant to celebrate a milestone event, however, decided to dine at Pompeii. Why? Because it is our favorite Italian restaurant and we can always depend on outstanding food and service. In fact it is our favorite Los Altos restaurant. One of us had the Daily Special, Osso Bucco that was absolutely so tender and served hot. And the other had their Veal Parmesan which is not always listed on the menu but if you ask for it they will serve it. If I am not getting seafood I many times will opt for the veal parmesan as it is so tender and a very generous serving. Having food allergies I find they are so very accommodating and willing to substitute side dishes or adjust the main course. Their calamari as an appetizer never disappoints - always tender and delicious. We were too full for dessert however their Tiramisu is one of THE BEST! We also like their selection of wine by the glass.

    This one of our favorite restaurants, so we decided to take our out of town guest here for dinner. We sat outdoors while the weather is still beautiful. Everyone’s meal was delicious and the service was, as always, efficient and friendly. Thank you and we’ll be back again soon!

    Pompeii has been a favorite for many years and never fails to delight. If it weren’t such a small restaurant, I’d highly recommend… but if I did, I’d never get a table! 🤪

    Outside tables are along the street which is ok. Ambience? No. There were 4 of us. Only 1 beer 3 sodas. 4 dinners. No appetizers. 2 desserts. Over $200 I had crab risotto. Not much flavor. Others had lasagna (huge portion) gnocchi (just ok) chicken parm ( no complaints. Just didn’t feel good and local was with price. Service was very “not rushed”. Bordering on inattentive.

    The Insalata Mista was not as good as I remember. The greens were tough and neither the chicken nor the dressing had much flavor. Would not order again.
