The ambience is serene, calm, clean & welcoming. The welcome by everyone was perfect and set the tone; PERFECTION IN EVERY DETAIL. I didn’t expect a comprehensive a la carte but because we couldn’t choose we both had the tasting menu. The food and service were stunning, accompanied by a gorgeous local wine. Even the dishes and plates showed off the food to delight the senses before reaching the lips. Honestly the best meal I have ever had (& I have had many). Compliments to the chef too. I wish I could have met her to shake her hand. Next time I will. There will definitely be. Next time. Thanks Kalma. You are the gem of Campania.

Exellent almost in every way. Only the location could be better, but that didn’t bother us, since our holiday apartment was close. We had a three course dinner and all dishes were amazing.

A hidden gem! A true oasis with just a few minutes walk away from Pompei center. Lovely staff and even lovelier food. It was cooked with care, attention to detail and rightly before being served. Could not recommend it more. Take the walk!

We were in Pompei for my husband's birthday so we wanted something special. We went to Kalma as it had the best reviews. When you enter the restaurant it is like entering a completely different world (in a good way). The decor, the staff, the service, and of course the food were all just perfect! I would like to expressly mention that the manager was exceptionally attentive (it's been a while since we were looked after so well :)) We loved our evening at Kalma. It truly is an exceptionally good restaurant and I would highly recommend it.

We had a fantastic meal at Kalma. The restaurant is quirky and bohemian and has a fantastic menu. It’s a bit out of the way but the manager arranged a return taxi for us (and taxis are unusually difficult to find in Pompeii). The service was absolutely fantastic. We chose the taster menu which was beautiful; there was only one dish which we didn’t really like but neither of us like mackerel anyway! This was a real find and one of the best meals of our trip; highly recommended.

We stayed for 10 days and dined here twice. We are BIG foodies - Michelin addicts in the Uk, I make no apologies. This is the best food and ambience we have had in Pompei (perhaps in many European cities). Our host was superb but we come to eat, and really there was nothing that disappointed. The restaurant is a tad out of the centre - make the effort, you really won’t regret it.

If you’re looking for something different then give this place a go. An eclectic menu allows some real choice and variety against a classic italian food base. Great decor set this place off and super friendly staff ensure you’ll have c a great evening

The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Our server was very attentive and provided us with great details about the unique dishes as well as suggestions. An absolute must see. I think it should be a Michelin star restaurant. 10/10 must see.
