Il Vesuvio in Tunbridge Wells

Warm, friendly, family-run Italian bistro. Fairly standard menu but well cooked and tasty. If you have the meatballs, check they are fully hot through.

Lovely Italian restaurant with a real sense of family atmosphere! Traditional Italian menu with wonderful service...

Il vesuvio is an authentic Italian restaurant which specialises in freshly prepared Italian food. You will receive a very warm welcome from Maria, Franco and the staff. It is our favourite restaurant.

The best Napolitan pizza in the town, once per week I have a pizza 🍕, and definitely the one that I chose it's Vesuvius, Maria and Franco, they do the best one, well done, to bring the original pizza from Napoli in Tunbridge Wells.

Excellent service, great food, fantastic cocktails and dessert was amazing!! Very reasonably priced!! Thank you for a lovely evening!!

Super friendly family restaurant. Practice your Italian if you want. Food is amazing and atmosphere cosy and intimate.

A very nice and rustic atmospheric family restaurant run by a charming couple over 13 years now, serving authentic Italian food from Naples. and I need to mention the husband was very pleasing and attentive.The food was full of flavour, I could smell the aroma from the gluten free pasta I ordered from far away, and the portions sizes were just right.And the bill was beautifully had written.We truly enjoyed our dinner and time in this satisfying place.

I love this restaurant - we used to go frequently but since moving out of town some years back don't get the chance so much. We went back yesterday and it was just as good as ever - the atmosphere is wonderful, Maria and Franco are adorable and work so hard to ensure you have a great evening. The food is high quality and clearly prepared with a lot of love.For the few hours we were there, it was very easy to forget we were in England!

Very authentic Italian restaurant. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. We had a pizza and fish but seafood spaghetti looked really good! We will definitely go back to try a few more dishes.

Bruschetta funghi was exquisite - incredibly creamy and full of flavour.Mains:Gnocchi - this is the most authentic gnocchi I’ve had since Rome, it was amazing. Cheesy, full of flavour and the tomato sauce was one of the best I’ve had.Spaghetti - it was nice and simple - nothing too special but it did have a real authentic Italian element behind it.Dessert:All I can say is wow. Everything single item hit the spot. The Panna cotta, the chocolate fondant (I cant remember the exact name they had for it in the restaurant) and the cannelloni - it was unbelievable. Especially the chocolate fondant, cooked to perfection - the chocolate began oozing out as soon as we cut into it. The chocolate was rich but just the right amount.Also the hog chocolate was heavenly if you like thick creamy not chocolates - it tasted like a chocolate mousse!I would 100% recommend this restaurant - not only is the food incredible but the staff are wonderful and welcoming.
