What an amazing restaurant. The food was great, service and staff were friendly, and the portions were more than fair. Rarely do I genuinely leave full five star reviews but Vesuvio deserves it. Definitely one of the best if not the best Italian restaurants in the area. Highly recommended.

My wife and I spent many nights here when we lived in Brampton. It was our "go-to" restaurant for many years. So many years that our regular waiter, Maurizio, back then is now the owner! Maurizio even remembered us even after we had moved away 10 years ago. The food was amazing. He has completely redone the ristorante! It's beautiful. Amazing b&w pictures of Italy on the walls. Gorgeous. Great service! Friendly staff! Family outing or a nice date night, this is the ace to go. Thank you my friend, we'll be back as often as we can!

My friend and I arrived just after 5pm on Friday, we were asked if we'd like the Patio... At first we opted for inside, but the Owner, Maurizio convinced us to sit out on the Patio, I'm glad we did! The washroom was pretty fancy and well kept... The free bread appetizer was great, every time an order of bread came out to another table, you could smell it as it passed by, Mmmmmm! I ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs, OMG, the meat sauce was honestly like Mom used to make (with the direction of my Italian Step Father), complete with Bay Leaves, which I always remember to remove if I found one (which I did tonight). The only thing missing was some bread to mop up the sauce... Maurizio mentioned that I could have asked for more bread... Next time, next time. The Tiramisu was AWESOME, thanks again for that Maurizio! We'll be back...

Food and service was fabulous. Live saxophone player was the cherry on top of our cake. Definitely going back and adding Vesuvio to our restaurant list referral list.

What a great location right in the heart of downtown Brampton. This place has been around for a long time and they are serving up some delicious Italian eats. I had the gnocchi, aperol spritz, caprese salad and their home made tiramisu. It was all delicious!!! I highly recommend!

Vesuvio Restaurante in downtown Brampton is fantastic! The food is delicious and full of flavor – you can really tell they use fresh, quality ingredients. The pasta, seafood, and desserts are all amazing. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. They make you feel right at home and go out of their way to give great service. It’s a cozy place with a great atmosphere, perfect for a night out or a special meal. They even hosted a gender reveal for me and my partner, and it was such a beautiful experience. The staff went above and beyond to make it memorable, from the thoughtful setup to the genuine excitement they shared with us. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate such a special moment.

Absolutely loved my dining experience here! The moment you walk into the store, the service is friendly and on point. The food here is authentic and delicious. We really enjoyed the rigatoni and the vitello pizziaola as it was fresh, and the flavours were all there. The owner Maurizio is super friendly and has a passion for Italian food. We can see why this place is highly rated and popular.

An amazing dining experience! From the moment we walked into vesuvio, we were enveloped in a warm welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for an incredible meal. The owner Maurizio was very attentive and genuinely passionate about the food he serves. We started off with the pizza pesto which was delicious, followed by the gnocchi pasta some of the best we’ve ever had! Very generous portions. We will definitely be returning with friends and family! Thanks again Maurizo!
