Pompeii Restaurant on Taylor Street in Chicago's Little Italy offers a variety of delicious pastas, pizzas and numerous tasty dishes.

At Pompei we welcome people of all ages to enjoy our family traditions which have popular for generations.

Pompei was established by Luigi Davino back in 1909. He called it Pompei because it was located near Our Lady of Pompeii Church. Luigi married Carmella and they had four sons and a daughter. The family lived above the bakery and worked many long hours making only bread and cheese pizza.

After returning home from World War II in 1944, Luigi's sons helped run the business. His eldest son, Alphonso, ran the bakery for 30 years with the help of his brothers Ralph, Solly and "Uncle Rogie." When Alphonso retired, his nephew Ralph continued the family business.

Since then, our menu has expanded to what it is today. Using only the freshest and finest ingredients, we will continue to carry the family tradition that Luigi instilled in 1909. We're proud to say that we've been serving families for three generations.
