Naples sadly was a general disappointment for me outside of the amazing Neapolitan Pizza. Pompei on the other hand could not have been more amazing... a huge part of that was Roberto and me stumbling onto Add'u Mimi. It was so great I had to eat there twice. The first time I walked in was through the front door. The loveliest elderly couple walked me to the back and introduced me to Roberto. Roberto then said he can take me in as long as I order/eat fast since they are closing soon. I said sure since the glowing reviews looked insane. That first night I was served the BEST seafood pasta and a beer. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the seafood tasted so fresh. Before leaving, I was given a Wild Fennel Drink for FREE that was so good even Steve Buscemi apparently even liked. Roberto even showed me a picture of him with Steve! How cool! The next day, I went to tour Pompei and also hiked up Vesuvius. On the way back to town I was craving for more Add'u Mimi so I called and sure enough... Roberto recognized my voice and said I should come back in! Wanting something entirely different this time, Roberto proceeds to show me a whole fresh sea bass. He said he will cook that for me in a very classic Italian way. I forgot (and forgive me Roberto I lost the piece of paper you wrote on for me lol), but the rough English translation for the dish is "Sea Bass in Crazy Water". Honestly it was cooked so simply (likely with just water, salt and oil) the flavor of the fish was accented fairly well. It was accompanied by an equally simple salad. To finish it off I had some white cake with pears in it. It was delicious as well. Before finally taking off for the train to Rome, Roberto proceeds to give a free limoncello shot. When he learned I had a train ride, he asked if I wanted still or sparkling water for the ride home! WHAT? I've never felt more at home and saying goodbye to Roberto felt like saying goodbye to my Italian dad haha. I'm not sure when I'll get back to Pompei but I'll treasure my two meals here likely forever. Go here for the excellent food and even better service.

Don't miss this hidden gem! It's easy to pass by Add'u Mimi but by doing so you would miss some of the best food in all of Pompeii. We came across this family owned restaurant by chance. When we arrived the front restaurant was empty and we almost past it by, thankfully we didn't. Once you pass through the roadside part of the restaurant you'll enter a second section. Inside is a pleasant restaurant off the busy street with a beautiful garden area and plenty of seating for a romantic, family, or group dinner. We ordered the seafood pasta and traditional steak. The homemade pasta was flavorful and the seafood fresh. The strip steak was tender and served in a homemade tomato and garlic sauce. Both dishes were simple but delicious. We accompanied our food with a bottle of the local Vesuvian red wine. Oh, molto buono! After the meal we decided to try both of the desserts available. The one made with rum was good, but the cream cake with pears, pear liquor, and buffalo ricotta was heavenly. Neither my husband nor I had ever tasted anything so amazing! Do not miss trying this dessert! Truly Add'uMimi has some of the best food at the best prices that we have found so far in our journey. I highly recommend venturing in and trying it for yourself.

I can’t say enough about Roberto’s kindness at Add’u Mimi. From the moment I walked in, he greeted me so warmly and made me feel right at home, even offering a complimentary bruschetta and mozzarella appetizer as I was dining alone. The food was absolutely delicious — I had the homemade pasta with seafood, which was fresh and full of flavor. Roberto also offered me a complimentary limoncello and even suggested I visit a nearby wall painted with Maradona, knowing I am from Argentina — such a thoughtful touch! The prices are incredibly reasonable for the Naples area, and the hospitality is truly outstanding. It’s rare to meet someone so kind, and it made my visit extra special. If you’re in Pompeii, I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s about a 15-minute walk from the archaeological site, but absolutely worth it. Thank you, Roberto, for the wonderful memory of Pompeii!

I've never written a Google review before, but this place was so amazing I had to come here to sing it's praises. We stumbled upon it around 14:00 on a Saturday after visiting Pompeii and leaving through the gate near the Colosseo. When we entered the restaurant, we were ushered through an empty dining room and past a courtyard to a back dining room next to the kitchen. The place was full of a party of 60 people who'd made their reservation several months in advance. A man was playing the...

Our group of friends was visiting the Island of Ischia and one member of our group told us the most amazing story about this small restaurant in Pompeii where three years prior he had eaten one of the best meals of his life and was treated so well by Roberto when they needed help leaving the city later that evening. We decided we all wanted to spend the last day of our trip in Pompeii and find Roberto to try this food again. In the service industry, so many clients come and go day in and...
