What People Are Saying About Pompei

In Short – Frescos adorn the walls at this Taylor Street spot, where police officers, Medical District employees and students gather for fresh Italian food served cafeteria style. Diners order from the long glass cases, then wait for delivery at tables in one of restaurant's two large rooms. Freshly baked pizzas and pizza strudels are popular, as are fresh salads with toppings such as dried cherries, blue cheese and toasted nuts.

Bland over-priced food
by Howard1 at Citysearch
There are so many better places to go for pizza rather than here. The pizza here is more like cheese breas - there are almost no toppings. The pasta was just ok. And the prices are what you'd expect from a nice restaurant, not this place. This place is an overpriced cafeteria.
- Pros: location in little italy
- Cons: bad food, bad atmosphere

Chicken herb ravioli------ummmmmm....yummy!
by bylisajobarr at Citysearch
These homemade pasta delicacies will melt in your mouth. The sauce is fresh tomato-y and suculent.
Atmosphere will definitely put you in the mood for Italiano--the high ceilings, pillars, artwork. very tasteful and spacious.
Don't forget the cannolis---they taste just like the ones I've had in NY.
