    Reliable pizza restaurant in the heart of Lyon. It's a big place spread over two floors and nicely decorated with vintage Italian posters. The menu is full of pizzas but also includes salads and pasta dishes plus deserts. Service was good and the pizzas decent with a thin base and good crust. Margherita 12 euros.

    RAW CHICKEN on my pizza! This was the most awful experience I have ever had. They served us raw chicken on our pizza which was absolutely horrible. You can see from the photo how raw the chicken was. This made us very very sick at night and I am appalled that a restaurant could produce and provide such bad quality food which is very dangerous. When we mentioned it to the waitress she shrugged her shoulders and said well yes I can see that’s not good - and then she walked away. They did not apologise once for it. We then asked for the chicken to be taken off the bill which they were not happy about. I would not recommend. Worst pizza I have ever had. If I could give a rating of 0 I would.

    The worst experience I have ever had with staff. I went here as part of my last week of Erasmus in Lyon as my Dad had bought me 2 groupons for 2 nights as a gift. I rang the restaurant ahead and attempted to explain this in french as the man on the phone did not speak English (obviously fine and understandable) but he was incredibly rude to me because my french was not very good but I was trying my best. When I got to the restaurant he mocked me to another waiter and refused to deal with me. Another lonely woman waitress dealt with me and my boyfriend in English as we were struggling and she was lovely. Later in the night again the same waiter who had made fun of me came over to give me my drink and I asked where the toilets where in french and he once again ridiculed and laughed at me to another staff member. I was so upset by this experience that I could barely eat my food and I didn’t even use the second groupon my dad had bought me and wasted the money because I was too upset to go back. I never leave reviews on places but this upset me so much that I felt that I should.

    Worst pizza ever. The salad on the pizza was too hot and it wasn't suppose to be there in the first place. The crust was undercooked and the kookarcha was dying in the kitchen.

    Mathias was our server. He spoke perfect English and helped us make a decision. We had all you can eat pasta which is a specialty. Never had such good hospitality as much as this waiter. 10/10 for staff

    This Italien restaurant in Lyon is okay. You have to pay around 14-15€ for a pizza. The quality is just average, considering the price you would expect a better quality. You can order in English and you can sit outside - this is nice.

    Very nice and cozy restaurant. We come here every year from Germany to get pizza and have never been disappointed. Very nice staff, very good food and most of the times you don't have to wait long. The staff can speak English so ordering for foreigners is not a problem. Absolute recommendation: Pizza Vesuvio! :)

    The pasta is no longer fresh home made pasta like it used to be, they now seem to use cheap industrial dried pasta instead. The pizza dough is no longer fresh either. They did not add any points to my fidelity card, although I did show my code to staff on paying the bill and they said it would be added, but nothing yet, no worries I won't be rushing back there. Staff are young and seem inexperienced but are smiley and polite enough. Good location. Good (Italian) wine. Family friendly sort of place, ok to take kids, but kids menu options very limited.

    I ordered a vegan pizza and it was delicious. It had lots of greens and vegetables. My friends ordered pasta and non-vegan pizza and they also said their food was good. All in all it's a nice place

    3 stars could have been 5 but the pizza needed to be a lot hotter service was very good and all very tasty super thin pizza base 😋

    Easily one of the cheapest places to get good food in big cities. This particular one is in a very cool location near the shops.

👍 Nice experience in this new restaurant. Gentle staff, there is a nice feeling. I recommend the salads which are super tasty and creative. Could not experience the fresh juice as the restaurant seems to have some teething problems but I will come back in a few weeks to try more.
