Named after Mt. Vesuvius, Vesuvio is a trattoria, bar and pizzeria where the charm and rustic cuisine of Italy is distilled into one amazing restaurant. You'll find outstanding cuisine here, where the Mediterranean diet is taken to new levels, thanks to the use of the finest and freshest olive oils, just-from-the-water fish, fruits, vegetables and legumes. It really does start with the ingredients, and to ensure the best possible dishes, many of them are even imported directly from Italy. Must-try dishes include Pepe's famous garlic bread which is made from a 100-year old family recipe, classic pastas like the meatballs with homemade pasta, and seasonal specialties which might include the likes of New Zealand lamb shank osso buco, or il pescatore cioppino rosso with a variety of shellfish. The steaks here are also divine--aged a minimum of 35 days, each is marinated and grilled to perfection. Vesuvio is also home to an authentic Italian wood-burning oven, making their pizzas some of the finest around. You'll also discover this place to offer one of the best Happy Hours around. With food and drink specials from 4-6 p.m. daily in the downstairs main bar or on the rooftop terrace, this is the perfect place to enjoy an after work or before dinner drink.
