We visited Pompeii recently (toured with Manilo Tranquilli limousine service in Rome). Manilo suggested Garum - a little off the beaten track (nice to get away from the crowds). Our lunch was great - mainly seafood (calamari, octopus and more). The house white wine was very good and really inexpensive (only 12 Euros). Total bill for 2 including wine was... More

Recommended by locals we were at first a little concerned because it is so nice inside, that we would be paying fine dining prices. This was not the case. The service was excellent, the food delicious - strongly recommend the seafood risotto, and the prices very reasonable. The house wine was delicious and cheap and there were complimentary starters.

We stumbled on this place and so glad we did. So much of Pompeii is overly touristy, but if you head away from the site of the ruins you can have a beautiful meal here. Service was great. I had a spaghetti con frutta del mare that was the best I ever had. The kids shared a steak that was... More

Me and my wife dined here in april. We received an amuse before ordering (great service and toughtfullness!) We took a pasta-starter (which was fresh made gnocchi) and than I wanted fresh fish. Becuase the fish I choose would be too big for 1 person, they prepared it for the both of us (a lot of restaurant wouldn't mind and... More

Was recommended this place by the hotel we stayed in and it was excellent. After a complimentary fried polenta, we had a selection of starters including fried cheese, meats and mozzarella, and aubergine. I had a steak for main and my friends had pasta with mushrooms, all with a bottle of wine lacryme jesù Di Vesuvius. All absolutely excellent and... More

Loved the seating in the downstairs cave area. The starters were very good as was the seafood. Price for 1 starter, 2 mains, 1 dessert and a bottle of wine was about 75 euro

After a long visit to the ruins of pompei, dont be tempted at one of the turist traps that await just outside the site. Driving in the suburb of pompei we found Garum and having read good TA reviews decided to try. The place is nice but nothing grand, just a nice streetside restaurant in an otherwise bland suburb. The... More

We ate here on Valentine's Day and felt completely out of place. We were treated a little strangely- I'm not sure where the disconnect was. Every other place we went to, the people were super nice. The food was good, but not over the top great. The other places we ate were comparable or better for less money. Maybe it... More

The food at Garum was simply the best of any meal out I have ever tasted, not just in Italy but anywhere to date. The portions were perfectly sized and the price was incredibly reasonable. The staff could not have been more helpful, and the chef even came out twice to check we were happy. The menu was varied and... More
