Vesuvio's - Hensonville

Amazing service! Phenomenal food! First time visiting the area. Did not see many options for fine dining. Drove passed Vesuvios and visited during our time and fell in love! The ambiance was very beautiful and intimate. Had to meet the chef Yoni! Definitely knows his stuff! Every bite was flavorful and savory!

This review is for Vesuvio Restaurant Catering, which delivered to Windham area for our wedding. It seemed a bit risky to serve Italian food when marrying into family that loves cooking and traces it's ancestry to Italy, but I need not have been worried. Vesuvio is the real deal, and we got so many compliments on the food. All our friends and both families loved it! The Sicilian Rice Balls, Chicken Marsala, Penne Vigani, in particular, I would eat any day. They went out of their way to help us, and were extremely professional and accommodating, breaking up our order into two deliveries so we could serve rice balls and mushroom caps at the reception, and the rest for dinner. For allergy reasons, we needed some gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free options. Vesuvio did a great job providing us with these options. Crucially, they are an honest small business. It can be hard to judge how much to buy for a wedding. We would have ended up with far too many rice balls and mushroom caps. The restaurant owner was kind enough to let us know when we placed the order, even though it decreased his overall sales. And he was spot on. Rice balls were finished during the reception, but toward the end, with everyone getting enough. Mushroom caps were nearly depleted, but we had some portion of the vegan ones remaining. I believe everyone there loves food, and takes their profession seriously and with pride. Also, you should stop there for dinner. We went a few times with various relatives to get their opinion as we prepped. Both sets of parents loved the food, and I don't think there was an item anyone tried that we wouldn't order again. Edited for typos

Fantastic atmosphere and service. Great drinks. My steak was perfect and their signature pork dish was out of this world. A good option for finer dining in Windham

We ordered take out . Two entrees, a Caesar salad, and a rice ball. $99. No utensils in bag, no parm cheese . Ordered the Rigatoni /Sunday gravy.. $32. Missing pulled pork, and fresh basil. Sauce was tasty but one small meatball, and a piece of sausage cut into thirds. Should be as advertised , but was not and over priced. Next entree was the Veal Scallopini . Menu says tender veal, artichoke hearts, capers.. veal was a little tough, there were no artichoke hearts and no capers. Came in two different containers both with a little veal and tons of green beans. Very disappointing. It's shame that you drive for take out and don't see what you get until you get home so you can't complain, or get your meal fixed.

On vacation but unfortunately did not have a good experience. Ordered a good amt of food, but half of it was inedible... so not too happy paying close to $90 for this meal. First, we opened the bag and noticed there were no utensils or napkins. Luckily I snagged an extra fork from lunch and we found a pair of chopsticks. Onto the food.. stuffed shrimp with crabmeat the bacon was so thick and overcooked I had to rip it apart to get to the shrimp, but something was off about the sauce and whatever vegetable was in there...tasted like bittersquash? Took one bite and moved on. Clams casino was fine..heavy on the bacon but not bad. Two entrees, shrimp and lobster w/ vodka sauce on capellini and meat ravioli.. Meat ravioli That was fine, it's more like a cheese ravioli with meat sauce on top and probably the only dish we actually ate all of. Ok now the most expensive dish.. the shrimp and lobster pasta. I started with the shrimp and the pasta and the vodka sauce wasn't too bad but as I ate more of it, I noticed something started to taste really off about this. From a glance it looked fine but as I took a bite of the lobster, there was just no taste whatsoever to the lobster. Interesting.. took another bite and I now get this sour smell coming from it. I got really queasy bc I noticed now that this lobster was not fresh AT all. Peeling it out you can see there's a green tint to the edges so yea.. at the risk of getting food poisoning I threw it away. Not good. Back to the ravioli I guess. Oh and our two house salads... there was no dressing provided lol. The end.
