Vesuvius Restaurant
We are an Italian family-run trattoria-style restaurant on Lower Stone Street in Maidstone. We may be located in the heart of Kent, but we pride ourselves in offering some of the most authentic and traditional delights, the Italian cuisine has to offer. Maidstone is so lucky to have this wonderful traditional Italian restaurant, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming.

I hope they keep their haloween special toffee apple pie on the menu it is simply devine.

Bringing family and friends together at the dinner table is one of the most important traditions for Neapolitan people. Come and enjoy the experience and atmosphere of our authentic Italian family-run trattoria-style restaurant in Lower Stone Street Maidstone, Kent. Our name comes from the volcano Vesuvius, the main source of our inspiration located in Naples, the city where we grew up in the South of Italy, until moving to England in 1997.

An excellent Neapolitan restaurant in Maidstone . Lots of local dishes that are from the Campania coast that I have not seen outside of Italy. A family run business that makes you feel you are back in Sorrento or the Amalfi coast. Excellent!

Really fine authentic Neapolitan food. A nice clean and comfortable restaurant which offers a good selection of wines and spirits and reqlly good friendly service. The food is probably the best Italian cuisine in town. Recommend both the sharing platters! Worth repeated visits, never a disappointment.

Great food, excellent service, decent distance from other diners, the children (aged 10 and 14) absolutely love the selection and the portions are excellent.
Only wish we could go more!

The food was amazing, the staff were lovely and made my daughters night by bringing out cake and a candle and singing happy birthday, no prompting at all. The place is clean, with a wonderful atmosphere, fantastic Italian food and I can't recommend highly enough. Can't wait to return.

Had a delicious meal last night, the food was fresh and full of flavour. I highly recommend tarta della nonna for dessert it is probably my favourite thing on the entire menu. It also has clean toilets and friendly staff.

What a discovery - authentic Italian food here in Maidstone! Our first visit to Vesuvius and it certainly won't be our last.
Thank you to Alessandro, his partner and team, who have created something unique in Maidstone.
Having enjoyed traveling in Italy, we love Italian food. Vesuvius doesn't only serve fantastic food but the atmosphere inside feels like a little bit of Naples right here on our doorstep.
Our food choices included aubergine, seafood, and steak, which were delicious.
With the steak, the recommended wine was Gragnano, a sparkling red served chilled, imported from a spot close
