Vesuvio - Preston-Potter Hollow

Horrible experience. Bad overpriced food, poor unprofessional service. Our dinner started with long black hair in the bread, then we found a fly in the cocktail, unfresh lettuce in Caesar salad, unsavory steak, and rotten lobster at the end. When we showed all these to the server, she didn’t even apologize. Looks like it’s a normal everyday routine for this “restaurant”. DO NOT Recommend.

Absolutely delicious Italian dinner! The fried calamari was a nice lightly breaded appetizer. We enjoyed the Chicken Della Casa which featured sausage, chicken, and peppers. The Crabby Pasta was great, with plenty of seafood. Krista and Donna provided fantastic service. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

In short, 14 of us celebrated my dad’s 80th birthday with dinner at Vesuvio’s. Great choice! Excellent food at reasonable prices experienced (well-trained), attentive friendly service! Details: I contacted Vesuvio’s via email to see if they could accommodate a party of 14. They responded within a few hours and we set up a phone call to discuss details. Since we wld be a big party. I offered to choose a few items to help the kitchen waitstaff but was assured that this would not be necessary. We could order from the main menu. We could bring in our own cake or they could provide one. I emailed a week ahead of our reservation to confirm our headcount and our decision that they should provide a cake and felt confident that all would be in order. We were seated at a nice large table (not crowded). The head waitress introduced herself (Donna) and the other waitstaff, let us settle, took drink orders, did not rush us, explained the specials, answered questions and took our orders. When the time came they took coffee orders and delivered it with a delicious strawberry shortcake “Happy 80th Birthday!” and joined us in singing. We had a great time! Donna and her staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was excellent! We will recommend Vesuvio’s and definitely be back!

Mama Mia! Vesuvio what happened? Just going to start out by saying our appetizers of pesto muscles in a cream sauce was delicious and the chicken parm was very good the sauce was very yummy and the chicken was pounded very light in traditional Italian American fashion, but not $27 good. They didn't use fresh mozzarella cheese, they used shredded, the portion size was a little weak.

Great food, great service. Their stuffed clams with the buttery garlic is absolutely a must try. They also have a special hot sauce they make, which you can ask about.
