It was 9pm, I had just gotten off a plane from Vancouver and - after 6 hours in transit without food - I was starving. I needed to find food ASAP in the Junction area, and Vesuvio was the first place I passed with a free table.
Stepped inside and was pleasantly surprised, the atmosphere was buzzing and the wine was flowing. Plenty of appies, pastas, and pizzas to choose from with exciting sounding flavor combinations. My friend and I ordered the caesar salad (boring, I know) and the proscuitto-arugula pizza to share. Both dishes took FOREVER to come out, however they were worth the wait. if you like thin crust pizza, you will love this. The crust was garlicky and crispy while the toppings were fresh. Our salad and pizza were plenty for the appetites of 2 girls - we even took home two slices for lunch the next day.
This is a solid place for a satisfying meal. Family friendly and (relatively) hip all at the same time.
