Pompei RestaurantB-

1531 W Taylor St, Chicago, IL 60607 · Italian restaurant, Banquet hall, Coffee shop · Little Italy

Casual, cafeteria-style Italian-American staple with square pizza, sandwiches, and pastas; value is decent for counter service, but consistency varies and some dishes can be bland.

Our take

Pompei delivers solid casual Italian-American dining with strong pizza and sandwich execution and friendly, efficient counter service that justify its loyal following on Taylor Street. However, inconsistent pasta quality and recent reports of bland or watery cream sauces prevent a higher grade, and the functional cafeteria-style setting lacks distinctive appeal. Best for families seeking quick, generous portions of familiar comfort food rather than refined Italian dining.

One caveat: Mixed quality on Alfredo and some lasagna dishes, reported as bland or watery by several diners
