| - We used to go to, and order from Vesuvio a fair bit, but the quality & service began slipping a few years back. Each time we've returned its re-affimed our thought that it's not all its cracked up to be.
Given that pizza is their mainstay, it' was surprising to me that The Star rated it as one of the city's best. Not! Granted, the pizza is better than most major chains (PizzaPizza, Dominos, etc), only maginally, and its not as good as it could be. Its definitely better eaten in-house than delivered. The pizza takes on the taste of the cardboard box by the time it arrives at your house. It doesn't help having to deal with the surly delivery man, who gets even more surly if he's not handsomely tipped!
The serving staff in the restaurant varies from 'pleasant', to 'would rather be doing anything else', generally erring towards the latter.
Caesar salad is 'ok', nothing special. Pasta is not bad, but still 'family restaurant' quality.
Given that it's a neighbourhood family restaurant, I was apalled to hear that they refused to host T-Ball team's season-end party last year. We went to Boston Pizza instead for that (ughh).
All in all, I'd generally say it's "average".
