Monte Vesuvio Italian Grill - Oviedo

Garlic knots were great! Will definitely be back for those. The Margarita Pizza was good, but not great. The tomatoes tasted like they were put on after the pizza was cooked. The temperature was just a little cold. Other than that, the service was good and the wait wasnt long.

Monte Vesuvio is a wonderful family-run Italian restaurant that honestly deserves a lot more recognition. I came here on a Saturday night with a friend and had no issue getting a table. We got the garlic knots, frutti di marre, and one of their pizzas and everything was delicious. They have a wide menu and I honestly think that there's something here for everyone and I'm looking forward to trying more of their dishes! Service was also lovely. Monte Vesuvio is one of the best restaurants Oviedo has to offer and I recommend it to anyone!

Highly recommended! This place is truly a hidden gem! Don't let the tacky decor fool you! The food is exceptional, crafted from scratch. Some options like steak and seafood are on the pricier side, but pizzas start at $9 and feed two, and most pastas are reasonably priced. Everything we've had is excellent.

Ordered some dinner online and scheduled a picked up. I was early and lady server was very friendly and helpful asked me to take a seat while waiting. Food was ready on time (as scheduled online). We had the Fried Calamari as appetizer, the Andreas Salad, and the Spaghetti Pasta with meatballs. Calamari was fantastic ! The dipping sauce was hot ! Never had hot Calamari dipping sauce before like this and it tasted awesome. Served with a big slice of lemon. I used to love the Macaroni grill calamari, and then they changed it a few years ago. It is still good, but the portion size is very small. Monte Vesuvio gave me the full generous portion I used to get at Macaroni grill. The Andreas salad was just delicious. The romaine lettuce was fresh, the roasted red peppers were smooth and silky, the walnuts crunchy and the artichokes just right. I prefer the salad dressing that coms with the house salad though, instead of the vinegrette that comes with the Andreas Salad. My son had the spaghetti and meatballs.

It's a really good restaurant. Fast service good prices for Italian food. Had a wide selection of different options from pizza to steak to fish the pasta dishes. The salads were large and tasty as well as the Caesar salad and the lentil soup. We had a really good time eating here. They are open after the hurricane so it was a nice break from microwaved food. I highly recommend I stop by here and try their pizza It was very good
