i have to say we loved vesuvios when jpe ran it, we went there the other night the owner was at the door in a tee shirt and shorts, the food was just ok it tasted old, not made to order portions were so small,...chocken parm with a tiny portion of penne for 20 bucks so sad, they were blasting cyndi lauper music, so dissapointing, some lady told us all she had left was watermellon and cannoli for dessert, we ordered 2 cannolis, she only brought one, they charged 35 bucks for a tiny piece of salmon we have gone there for years its just not the same, i told the owner what we had experienced, he said nothing and walked away wow!!!! we will not be going back sooooo sadMore

Vesuvio Restaurant (Vesuvio) is a friends and family restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine. Established in 1977, the privately owned eatery serves soup, salad, pasta, fish, chicken, lobster, shrimp, veal, pork, and steak. It also offers two vegetarian dishes and a wide selection of scrumptious desserts....All meals at Vesuvio are prepared fresh and gluten free pasta is available upon request. Joe Baglio, the proprietor, developed his knowledge and expertise of the restaurant business working in hotel restaurants and cruise ships. Neat! I opted for the “bow tie pasta” dish (pesto, shrimp, sun dried tomatoes, and shredded parmigiana) for $23, and it was fantastic. It came with a house salad. No regrets! Fun Fact: During the summer months, Vesuvio only uses locally grown and organic vegetables. Awesome! Nestled in the northern section of the Catskill Mountains, look for Vesuvio at 49 Country Road 65 in the New York State community of Hensonville. It is open for dinner from 4:00 in the afternoon (3:00 in the afternoon on Sundays) until 10:00 at night. Call ahead and make a table reservation to avoid disappointment. We did not call ahead, and so ate at the bar. Steve, the bartender, took very good care of us. Note that Vesuvio also caters weddings, anniversaries, parties, and banquets. The facility can also host private gatherings of up to 160 people. Awesome! Parking and WiFi are both available at no cost. Vesuvio also offers a coat check service for a nominal fee.More

In the small hamlet of Hensonville NY in the northern parts of the Catskill Mountains right next to the town of Windham and near Hunter NY is Vesuvio. A true gem of the Catskills. Chef Apollo does everything from authentic Italian dishes, whole lobsters, to...the catch of the day. Nick the waiter and the whole staff are great. There's a rustic, welcome home atmosphere about the place. I believe they're open 7 days a week. Call for lunch or dinner reservations. Reasonably priced and the portions are huge. If your in the area, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.More

quick easy decision for lunch on the road, great menu great staff. We were traveling and stopped in to eat. It was excellent.

We came on our B and B owner Chuck's recommendation. Lovely choice of food all beautifully cooked. We came midweek when it was not busy which was great.

We dined here on the recommendation of the proprietor of our hotel and we weren’t disappointed! Made to feel very welcome, very personal service from the friendly staff, this place has a great atmosphere. We had been told the Rigatoni with Sunday Gravy was good,...so we all opted for that. Served hot fresh bread and salad to start. The main was delicious - sausage, pulled pork, meatballs, ricotta and fresh basil in homemade tomato sauce. My photograph does not do it justice. Fabulous restaurant with delicious food - if we are in the area again we will definitely eat here again!More

We went to Vesuvio for our annual family get together and had a wonderful dinner thanks to their wonderful chef and waitstaff. This is a lovely restaurant just minutes from Windham, NY that is just perfect. It has fantastic Italian food, interesting specials, and the...staff are fabulous. I recommend the pork chops, fish, and all the pastas. You can't go wrong by going here for dinner.More
