Located in the heart of Little Italy and now Elmwood Park, Pompei has been serving authentic Italian cuisine for over five 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 & 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, Luigi’s sons helped run the business. His eldest son, Alphonso, ran the bakery for 30 years with his brothers Ralph, Solly, and “Uncle Rogie.” When “Uncle Fonzie” retired in the 1980’s, his nephew Ralph continued the family business with the support of his wife Rosemarie, mother Marie, sister Carmela, his children, Kim & Tom, and now his grandchildren.
Since then, our menu has expanded to what it is today. Using only the freshest & finest ingredients, we will continue to carry on the family tradition that Luigi instilled in 1909. Pompei is proud to say we have been serving families for 5 generations.
Now, Pompei has expanded to the suburbs, opening a new location in the heart of Elmwood Park, IL. We are located in “The Circle,” where you will find the same authentic Pompei experience that you have come to know and love! Our Elmwood Park restaurant brings together tradition and community, offering the perfect spot for family dinners, casual lunches, and small private gatherings. Just like at our original location, every dish is made with the freshest ingredients and the same recipes passed down for generations. We are excited to welcome our neighbors in Elmwood Park to become part of the Pompei family story.
