Pompei Restaurant, serving customers for 3 generations with its original style of quick service. Setting the trend in the late 80’s, well before the “Fast Casual” boom, Ralph Davino had a vision when he decided to expand the family business from just a small bakery specializing in bread and limited pans of pizza to the fast casual/quick service Italian Restaurant today. Ralph wanted to share the delicious recipes from his childhood with the help of wife Rosemarie and mother, Marie. Ralph was able to produce delicious traditional Southern Italian meals serving the very busy Near West Side “Little Italy” neighborhood in Chicago. Over the years, customers have come to know that they can always expect a warm welcome and an authentic meal.
