I wanted to review Pompei because I just gave poor reviews to two other restaurants and I don't want to be overly negative. I am pretty fussy about my Italian food since my Mom is from the old country...

You always run that risk having never eaten at some place. Our flight was leaving in 4 hours though and the alternatives were overpriced and universally substandard chow at O'Hare or a long flight...

This is definitely the MC Donald's of Italian food. Their Chicken Marsala was like soup. The sauce was runny and the chicken seemed undercooked. It seemed like it was thrown together quickly without...

I'm a fan of the turkey stuffing sandwich and the chicken wrap with roasted red tomatoes and artichokes (though you only get a few chunks of chicken). the service can be kind of slow so I don't...

I've been going to Pompei ever since it was over by Loomis, the original location. Of all the locations, this place sucks, big time. So bad that I live in Oak Park and would rather drive to the...

When i moved to Oak Park from Chicago, i was soooo happy to see there was a Pompei near us. The pizzas and pastas are truly legendary. It's an old world family business, serving family recipes, for old world prices!

I don't understand the glowing reviews for this place. I didn't have one good meal the three times I went there. Granted, the soup was good, but the pastas and sandwiches were either bland, cold, or...

This place is really good. I normally go take-out, and get many of their great pastas. There pizzas can be skipped, they're nothing special. The marinara sauce is AMAZING! (The only reason its 4 stars...

This place is pretty good. I've had one really good pasta dish (a special with spaghetti noodles, olive oil/white wine sauce, and fresh tomatoes and mozarella) and one not-so-great salad. It was an...

I just don't get people's love for this place. The food is fair, the line to order huge. If they had more cashiers it would improve the wait considerably.the first time I went, I ordered a meatball...
