Cafe Pompeii
“Rude and aggressive staff, no ambience.”
“This is a wonderful cafe to have a cappuccino and dessert.”
“Food is great but the wait staff tend to wait around after you have finished eating even, in our case, when you have a half bottle of wine left.”
“go here probably once or twice a month, even though overall, it probably has the most mediocre food and service in the North End.”
“like Pompei because it offers a menu full of tempting options and is less expensive than other North End restaurants.”
“Great people watching.”
“That made us worry very much about our food, but to our surprise, the food was actually quite good and portions were big.”
“If you are starving at midnight after a long night of drinking at the Sail Loft, then Cafe Pompeii is perfect.”View Less
charged $150 for $36 meal!!. so i went out to dinner at Cafe Pompeii on friday with 6 other ppl, bill came out to $150 but MY meal was $36-something. they all threw down cash and i gave my card with the slip filled out for my meal and SAYING the rest was cash. THEY CHARGED ME $150 AND KEPT THE CASH. wasn't even worth the $36--- i got $14 piece of chicken that was smaller than my hand and tasted like bacon, split antipasti for 2 that was only enough for ONE when the waitress said it could feed half the table, fried calamari (when I saw how small my meal was) and split an overpriced bottle of white zin that I would normally spend less than $20 on. if there were a 0-star rating, i'd give it.…
Best Cappuccino on a Snowy Day. Looking out my window confirmed I was no longer in New Orleans. Snow fell heavy and my aversion to turning on the heat left me cold. What was I to do? The answer was obvious: the best cappuccino in Boston -sorry Crema- Pompeii has you beat. The lack of foam drawn hearts or pot-leafs takes nothing away from the taste of this made-to-order warming caffeine form. Step through the restaurant to the tiny one-man bar in the back and order up. As the snow falls you'll be warmed by perfection.…
Oh dear. Rude and aggressive staff, no ambience. Soooo many better places to eat in the neighborhood - don't waste your time.
The worst place to eat in boston. Worst italian place possible. Do not go here. The food and the service are mediocre at best. Apart from this, the owner of the place is a jerk. He treated me and my friend disrespectfully. When we asked him why he was treating his customers this way we got jumped by 10 guys of the italian mafia. I had a black eye for 3 weeks after and was severely bruised, my friend got 10 stitched. Also two friends of a friend got jumped there and had a bottle broken over their head. I later found out that this is a mob hangout. Ever wonder why this is the only place that serves sit down dining after 2am?…
Overpriced. Fair pizza.. I stopped by Cafe Pompeii for a couple slices of pizza and a coke. The restaurant itself looks fine. A far amount of people dining. Looks like a fair amount of restaurants of the North End in the evening. Ordered a two slices of cheese and a coke and was blown away by the price (example: $2 for a can of Coke). However, I said to myself "maybe the pizza is worth the price". Sadly, it was not. The pizza is average. Nothing to write home about. However, late at night, not many places in the North End still serve slices (so options are limited). So, if you really, really, really want a slice of pizza....it's an option. If not, I would go somewhere else.…
