Traditional Italian fare such as gnocchi & lasagna offered in a charming, white-tablecloth setting.

Food: The salad is a bit too salty but the seasoning tasted so good! The pastas are also cooked nicely at al dente! The portion is very filling. One little pettiness is the seasoning of the linguine scampi. The flavors are not cooked into the shrimps which make it a bit less enjoyful while dining.
Service: the staff is nice but it seems like the time we visit is almost their closing time or it was a down time in the town, so they didn’t really put too much of attention to our table, which is a good and bad thing. We got to have some nice time without being interrupted.
Ambiance: nice and clean, suitable for small family gathering or dating.

Pompeii is a wonderful family-owned gem in Los Altos. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the food absolutely delicious. The chicken parmesan, lasagna, and linguine are some of our favs, paired with their fresh homemade bread. You can really taste the care that goes into everything!

Love this place. High quality Italian food. Very accommodating. Usually I get take out but a few times I’ve sat in. They are very authentic with great options for dietary restrictions. Very nice people working there. Highly recommend!

A busy dinner spot with friendly, attentive service and a warm atmosphere. Worthy of 4 stars with the exception of the prices which are a little steep, but probably in keeping with other nearby restaurants. Pizza was flavorful and had a decent crust that was not too thin, but not a deep dish either, and the salads were good. Only Pepsi products however, so fresh brewed ice tea would make a good addition.

Probably our most visited restaurant. Their bread and its dipping sauce is very special and probably the best of the kind. It’s free and refillable. The size is big, most entry is enough for two. My recommendation would be the steak, and the garlic spaghetti (sorry, I don’t speak Italian). The service and the environment is also very comfortable. The only thing we don’t like is the cellphone signal, but well, maybe a good thing to enjoy the meal.

We were craving a carbonara but we tried plenty of other items on the menu as well. We must have been hungry because we ordered a garlic shrimp and a bruschetta for appetizers. Then a risoto, bolognese, tortellini and a medium pizza Pompeii. For dessert we shared a limoncello tartufo. Service was great. The style was more of an old school Italian, nice sauces, perfectly cooked pastas. The pizza bread was thick kind and the toppings tasty. Our favorites would be the tortellini and bolognese but the rest were equally nice. The dessert was divine and I am usually not a fan of lemon. Bread is served with dinner with butter and a nice dipping sauce.

Very friendly service. The food is original and tasty. The veggie pasta could have used more sauce. The food took a while to come to the table (about 40 minutes). They were generous with the extra Parmesan (love the cheese!!).
Nice ambiance. Great place in Los Altos for a taste of Italy!

The food was amazing!! We had spaghetti carbonara, the server noticed that we were going to share our food, so they asked to confirm if we wanted to share, and it came with two plates of pasta! (very considerate!)
The margherita pizza was delicious besides it’s not thin crust.. but still good!
Tips: if you order sandwiches or something with bread, you won’t get a plate of the house bread unless you ask for it! (they were delicious!!!)

Service was okay and the pasta dishes were tasty. Prices reflect the affluent Los Altos town profile. This diner with bland decor is not not a great value overall. Even a child’s menu item is about twenty dollars. The wait staff while nice, lack professionalism.
Waiter Juan for example, talks to customers in an uncomfortably loud tone of voice.
The Italian eatery is an okay option if you are local, but not worth driving out of your way for.

The pastas were absolutely out of the world. Please try all the pastas. They are all amazing. The tortellini was the best though others were pretty close. The pizza was just ok. Maybe one step below average. Service was great. We saw Chef Chu also in the restaurant from the restaurant Chef Chu. Servers very polite.
