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?

Pros: absolutely nothing
Cons: it just sucks

Overpriced. Fair pizza.

by jkboston1050

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.

Pros: Average Pizza, Nice looking restaurant
Cons: Value

IT WAS AMAZING!!!! DON'T BOTHER WITH ANY OTHER REVIEWS

by harvey4994

I thought after reading all of these reviews that i couldnt believe that it was the same place. The food was absolutley fantastic, very reasonabley priced and the wait staff was very friendly. The bus boy was very friendly even to the point of entertaining a customer who was waiting for a friend to arrive. I thought that this was amazing place to dine.
