Osteria Nonna Cherubina - POMPEI

Overall one of the better restaurants in Pompeii and certainly the best in this part of the city. Two rooms: inside and outside veranda. Ate outside who had a very nice pergola. Deep gravel floor has seats uneven. No clear separation between smoking and not. Table linen would fit better the style restaurant goes for. Maybe because I came early (after expecting 6 hours in revenge? but the service was moderate. Waitstaff spoke English and used English menus; but with the original Italian on the menus and speak Italian when the guest knows that Italian avoids confusion. The food came before the wine (so remember that I ordered wine). Was brought the wrong wine or at least accused for resurrection, instead of normal. Uncork at the table, but not asked to check cork. I also don't understand why so many Tuscan wines on the list if in large wine country. Was forgotten at times when I was the only person out, despite a server that took the other tables out. There was confusion with the only other table outside (left before my pasta). They were charged for my meal. Problem was clarified, but shouldn't happen in a restaurant that was not topped. Owned it and the guests will thank you. Picky? Not if you want to pass upscale. The food was good, but not at the price. The Amuse-bouche/canapé was a nice but hard bread. It was clear it was sitting around. Mussel appetizers were tepid and needed more spices, accompanying bread hard. Unclear when fresh. Pasta (cooks with beans were pretty good, hot and hearty, nice for a cool evening. No. Contorno (veg. page; I had the grilled vegetables was decent, nothing special. Dessert trio was okay, nothing special. Overall very good for the location (there are better restaurants in the city that cost less. I would like to have seen more really seasonal and local dishes. Since we have a family near Pompeii and I have come to Italy for 25 years, this is not a route.

Excellent dinner with a very good wine list with reasonable prices both for wines and dishes. Staff very kind and skilled. a very good table ! a great experience indeed

Nice restaurant with tasty dishes. The cook surprised us with a tasty amuse and the staff was really kind.

"Un ottimo ristorante lontano dal caos del centro. Buon cibo e presentazione impeccabile."

Posto assolutamente da visitare. Il servizio, la qualità e il rapporto qualità-prezzo sono ottimi.
