Ventuno grammi - anima in cucina — Restaurant in Pompei

What an amazing gem we found here! Picture 6 tired and hungry friends, rushing for a train after exiting the ruins of Pompeii and just seeing this place that looks open but kinda closed (empty and silent) - as it should, since it were maybe 3pm. And we entered and ask in our broken italian if it would be possible to make some takeaway margheritas. I think the owner took a liking to me, my broken italian and my constantly-smiling face, and I surely took a liking to him and his affability. He told us since the oven was off it would take some 10-15min.

I used to be a chef, restaurant manager and Sommelier. My teenage boys and husband have very discerning taste. We absolutely loved our experience. We’ve been in Italy for a week and this was our best restaurant experience. We enjoyed the hospitality and attentiveness. I am gluten-free and the food was absolutely delicious and accommodating. The octopus salad was cooked perfectly and had a light citrus vinaigrette. The creamy Gorgonzola pasta with zucchini was so rich and delightful. My husband and children had a calzone, fried chicken, and Gnocchi. We all would recommend all of these dishes. Flavors were developed and balanced. I had wine and dessert and nothing was overly priced. This is a short walk from the entrance to Pompeii and I highly recommend taking it and getting away from the tourist restaurants. The atmosphere was gorgeous and clean. We all enjoyed very stimulating conversation, which as a mother of teenagers is exactly what you want. 100%...
