Great food, great drink prices/selection, very cozy place and nice staff.

Food:

After reading several reviews that raved about the vegetarian food at Vesuvios, me and my boyfriend were eager to check it out. We're both vegetarians and the prospect of finding an italian place that had something other than the token eggplant parmesean was exciting. However, we were SEVERELY disappointed. I ordered a faux 'chicken' parm and it was just two frozen veggie burgers on covered in sauce on top of pasta; they weren't even the chicken style of veggie burgers! It was absolutely terrible, and incredibly over priced. The atmosphere was just okay, and seemed very out of date and cliche. We will definitely not be going back.

Food:

I moved into the neighborhood five years ago, and Vesuvios was "hot" then. Great food, good people. I can honestly say that none of my neighbors would ever go back there. I think perhaps they have switched chefs a few times. The clientele look like they belong in a dive bar.
