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.

Delicious food! Stopped here for lunch, and it didn't disappoint. Very welcoming atmosphere as well. I got the fettuccine alfredo, and it was very good. Quick and friendly service too. 5/5 stars!

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.

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.

We ordered pizza, probably one of the most tasty I ever tasted in the Bay
Pompeii is our favorite hometown restaurant in Los Altos. Dining at Pompeii whether in the restaurant or take out as we did weekly during the pandemic, is warm, welcoming and consistently delicious Italian! We are greeted and treated as family and the gracious and thoughtful service is always the best! There is lovely outdoor dining if you prefer and have pets and inside is cosy and authentic. We come back again and again!

Never been to the main strip of Los Altos and it was quite a nice surprise to find such a nice Bay Area location and randomly pick a restaurant that turned out great. Pompeii had a solid Italian menu and the service was very attentive. We enjoyed the clams, the bread was fantastic (damn you carbs), the salmon piccata was great, and even the kid's pasta with marinara was excellent (the sauce was really top notch). I would come back next time I am in the area.

Loved the location. Great place to have good Italian food. Loved the outside dining. They made veggie pesto spaghetti on request although it was not in the menu. The experience is relaxed and a walk after lunch in the downtown area on a sunny day is perfect.
