Reviews for Cafe Vesuvio Italian restaurant & Pizzeria in Sanford, NC

Ordered food for pickup and it was my first time eating here. The staff was very friendly and nice. The atmosphere was great.... The food was better than I expected it was pretty good. I would definitely recommend for wings and pizza as that's all I'vetried so far. It's a good place to go. I will definitely try them again. Read more

This was my 1st time dining here and I enjoyed it the food was good and the service was good Some people on here are complaining... about the price but with today's economy I think the pricing just fine Don't expect fine dining at this restaurant as it'stypically made for families and casual dining. However the menu has a good selection and a family of four won't have to breakthe bank to eat here. Read more

Cost savings is in full effect at cafe vesuvio! This is the last time they will get my money. I ordered the white pizza from the... yesterday. It says on the menu it has broccoli and tomatoes on it. It has like 10 spinach pieces on it. Which may equate a halfa piece of spinach lol. I saw another review on here complaining about the same thing so I called and the girl told me that theyno longer put broccoli and tomato on it and she wasn?t sure why the menu hadn?t been updated but that they tell people who orderit. Well I ordered from door dash so they couldn?t tell me. Today I thought I would go ahead and give them another chance. Iordered the bella Donna pasta and a side of garlic bread with marinara sauce. Silly me to expect a cup of sauce. This is what Ireceived. Honestly, I?m impressed someone was able to get that small amount of sauce on bread. The pasta was also trash. Doesn?thold a candle to Elizabeth?s bella Donna pasta. This place use to be mediocre at best and now it?s an absolute dumpster fire andshows how desperate the owner is to save money. Imagine trying to keep your customers instead taking away from the quality ofyour food. Happy customers equal more money. This place will be out of business in 5 years at this rate. Read more

We use to love going here but when the hostess and the server was rude we changed our mind on coming back and then we seen some... things from out of their kitchen staff and the waiter that was so not a good thing to happen when your serving foods that aresuppose to be fresh and clean ! We won't be back unless I watch them prepare my foods and they hire new wait staff and cookassistants! The owner seemed to be a little stressed himself at how things was being handled so yeah no go for us ! Read more

The food is great but don?t ever order it Togo? My husband and I have ordered on 3 separate occasions and have had nothing but... issues. 1st time: ordered two chicken Alfredo meals, one with mushrooms. Received one plain fettuccine Alfredo and one chickenAlfredo, no mushrooms and no chicken on one? 2nd time: ordered two chicken Alfredo meals both with mushrooms. Receivedabsolutely no chicken in either meal and only mushrooms? 3rd time(being today): we ordered two chicken Alfredo meals, one withmushrooms. GOT OUR ORDERS RIGHT!! But had to quite literally dig our food out of the bottom of a bag. It had been packed withour food trays on they?re side, almost completely upside down. Brown bag soggy and ripping and one meal left with hardly anysauce left on it? Don?t understand the disconnect, and honestly torn about ever ordering again because for the price we pay, weexpect it to be correct and it?s been everything but. We generally never complain and are very understanding especially in timesof COVID, but tonight after both of us working very long shifts with nothing in our bellies for over 24 hours, we were severelydisappointed?

Nice casual restaurant. I enjoyed myself and the food. Menu was easy to navigate and very affordable. I ordered a Grande pizza... and the slices were pretty big. Nice and hot when delivery to my table. Now that you read my review, try local. Read more

Very disappointed. Cheese Fries were made with wrong cheese. They were dried out and hard. The other picture was supposed to be... shrimp scampi. I don't know what it is. The worst part was when I called them back all they did was say sorry. No refund, nodiscount coupon for or next meal. This is not my at all like how they used to be. Read more

Great dinner. Found it from Google. It was right across the street from our hotel. It was busy for a Thursday night but we still... got right in and got a table. Lots of College Graduations in the area so we were happy to get in quick. Nice variety in themenu. Hubby got lasagna and then ordered an extra sausage and meatball. I got the rotisserie chicken salad.We also got a starterof garlic cheese bread. It had lots of cheese! The food was really great. Large portions and great prices. It was a hidden gem. Read more
