Have now been a few times (mainly in the evening but once at lunchtime). Have never had a bad evening. Lovely family who get pleasure from you having a good time. Recommend the liver – delish. Good but short wine list – Gavi was great value. If you want a friendly intimate time give it a try. If you like authentic Italian – don’t miss this. Will be going agian soon. PS Book if you want to go at the weekend.

I love this restaurant. It has a friendly, family atmosphere and it feels just like Italy (check out the display of Neapolitan mandolins). The food is excellent – the best I have eaten outside Italy and on a par with the best I have eaten over there . It’s authentic without slavishly following the same old formula. There are lots of imaginative takes on traditional recipes: try Maria’s version of tiramisu. The fried seafood platter is my particular favourite, but it’s all fantastic. The service is friendly and personal, the wine excellent and the portions extremely generous. A real treat!

We very much enjoyed our evening at this delightful family restuarant, the atmosphere, food and service was of a very good quality and standard.
We were made to feel very welcome and will bring our family there in the near future.
I would definitely recommend this family restaurant, a good choice for a romantic dinner for two or family group.

I ate here for the second time recently and although the food was, as it always is, excellent, the service was a bit slow.

We have eaten at vesuvios on 4 or 5 occasions now. It is not a High Street Chain but is is a very friendly family run Italian restaurant with a great welcome and atmpsphere and very good ‘family’ (as against catering pack) food, all at a reasponable price and giving an excellent evenings meal out.

One has to go a very long way to get a better combination of welcome, atmosphere, food and value. Keep it up Vesuvio!

A fantastic Italian restaurant, certainly the best in Twell! Friendly service, happy and homely atmosphere and absolutely delicious authentic home cooked style food. I have now eaten here many times and always look forward to my next visit.

I treated my sisters and their husbands to a meal here on September 12th. Having eaten at Il Vesuvio several times in the last year I knew we were in for a treat. As usual the food was absolutely superb and the service excellent together with a good wine list. I particularly recommend the Lachrimi Christi (Thank-you maitre d’ Angelo). Although the charismatic proprietors Franco and Maria were away on a well earned holiday in Italy their daughter Barbara and son Alessandro made us feel most welcome. An excellent family-run restaurant which is a pleasure to visit. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger “I’ll be Back”.

What an outstanding meal we had tonight (Friday). The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, a very friendly welcome from the staff, all one happy family. The food was sooo good, the best Italian food we’ve had out in a long time , I could go as far to say ever! There was a slight wait for the main meal however the food was well well well worth the wait and we received 3 apologies from 3 different people. The service was exceptional and personal. It was our pay day treat and we will definitely be returning again for another pay day treat!!

This Italian, family-run restaurant is a real find. We have eaten here twice and have been enormously impressed on both occasions. The food is delicious and authentic, the service is outstanding and the atmosphere is relaxing and almost makes you feel as if you are on holiday in Italy. We have two children who were well entertained and found lots of delicious things to choose from on the menu. The restaurant is also perfect for couples and celebrations. It is lovely to receive such a warm welcome and to eat delicious, cooked-from-scratch food. I would recommend this excellent restaurant to anyone.
