When we walked in the staff were very welcoming and took us straight to a table, showed us the special board and gave us menus. They then came back quite quickly to take a drinks order and then we received our drinks quickly. The food was amazing. Worth every penny. All fresh homemade dishes

We had a lovely family meal at Vesuvio last night. Everyone got something they really enjoyed to eat, the staff were great - kind, attentive and undestanding of our needs. The food was served quickly and all for a very acceptable price. This was our second visit but will not be our last.

Excellent Italian in the heart of Whittlesey. It's got a well-priced, varied menu - including a lunch deal menu with plenty to choose from on it. The service is friendly, the decor is nice (though not super memorable), the bathroom is clean, and the atmosphere has a good vibe. Most importantly, the food is really nice - the callamari and garlic bread were pretty good (nothing special), but the spaghetti bollognese and the chicken/mushroom main dish were both excellent (most pictured). If you're in the area, this place is well worth a visit.Owner response

We had the most unforgettable experience at this lovely Italian restaurant today! It was our first time visiting, and we came in for a lunch. With a last-minute request, we asked if they could help us reveal the gender of our baby through a pizza, and the staff went above and beyond to make it happen.
They were so kind, thoughtful, and genuinely excited to be part of the moment. What they created for us was absolutely perfect, something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. Not only was the food delicious, but the warmth and care we received made this one of the most meaningful meals we've ever had. We will never forget this truly special moment!
Thank you so much for making our day so magical. 🥰🩷 We’ll definitely be back very soon!- Service

Thanks so much for celebrating with us! We're thrilled you enjoyed the surprise birthday meal its guests like your that make it all worthwhile. Hope to welcome you back again soon. Maria & Peppe All staff @ Vesuvio
We had our first visit there last night and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is owned by an Italian family who really know their stuff and all the food was excellent. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. I would make sure you book before going as, unsurprisingly, this restaurant is very popular
