  • I just enjoyed a nice quiet dinner at Vesuvio tonight. This was my first dine-in experience, as all the other times I've been there the restaurant has been packed and so I just resorted to ordering take-out pizza. It was a pretty solid meal on all fronts. The service and staff were quick and friendly. The portions were sizeable and reasonably priced. It was not out of this world amazing but it hit the spot. I ordered (what seems to be) exactly what Kat "Yelp Guru" F. had, the gnocchi with tomato sauce. I like having simple dishes at Italian restaurants because I think it is a true test of the establishment to taste their tomato/basil sauce unpolluted by other ingredients. Before you go thinking I'm some mangiacake, I'd like you to know that I dated an italian guy and his italian family for many years. His Nonna's gnocchi and tomato sauce was to die for and might have artificially extended the relationship by years. Before ordering I inquired as to whether the gnocchi was made in house(affirmative) and confirmed that the minestrone soup($6) is vegetarian. I didn't order the soup though because I knew I couldn't eat it all. There are plenty of vegetarian choices here because they have a 'make-your-own' pasta/pizza format. My gnocchi was fresh and shaped into small simple rectangles. The tomato sauce was just ok, definitely not at nonna level and maybe a little heinz-ish but overall the whole thing was decent and I cleared my plate (sort of abnormal for me). I think they must have had someone else in the kitchen when Kat F. was there because I would go back and try some of their other dishes. Special mention for my server, a young italian guy who knew the 50+ year history of the restaurant and neighbourhood. For those who don't know, the Junction used to be a dry zone, which caused a major depression in the area rendering Vesuvio into a take-out pizza joint for 16 years. Now that the liquor has been flowing for almost a decade the whole area is on the up.
