"My wife and I stopped for dinner at Tempio after spending the day exploring Pompeii. We were told outside that we could do a wine-tasting in the restaurant. Since we were the only customers at the time (5pm is too early for dinner by Italian...standards), we were given a private tasting on the balcony. A very knowledgeable and friendly lady named Carmela told us a lot about the wines from her winery, Sorrentino, and let us sample everything she had available. She also brought us our meal when it was ready (even though she didn 't actually work for the restaurant), and informed us that we could take a tour of the Sorrentino winery if we wanted to come back the next day (we didn 't have time, but we plan on going next time we visit). She was very helpful, and the wines were amazing! As for the food, we split a plate of Spaghetti Carbonara, and it was delicious (the best meal we had on our entire trip). The setting was beautiful, and we ended up missing a couple of trains because we were having such a good time. My wife said it made her feel like she was in Eat, Pray, Love ! There are a lot of restaurants/vendors that line the path between the Pompeii excavation site and the train station, and they all seemed over-priced and geared towards tourists... Tempio Ristorante was out-of-the-way, not too busy, and seemed more like kind of authentic Italian restaurant that we went to Italy to enjoy!"
