Moai Pompei - Pompeii Italia

Simply put, I love this place. If you're not Italian, I recommend it both for the novelty and for the awesome staff. Easy to communicate with limited to no language skills on my part. If you're Italian, you should also come. I think everyone there but me was Italian already, though. The place was pretty empty at 20h00 on a weeknight when I got there, but picked up some during that hour. Service is great; they don't over-bother you. The bartender treated me like it was my birthday, despite the fact that I was there alone. Despite just ordering a drink at first, he brought me out a little personal-size appetizer/snack sampler, and a coconut shell full of liquid nitrogen, making my own personal little Vesuvius. Instead of rushing to escape, I took my sweet time. Some of the snacks were pretty good, too- I recommend eating here if you (can) ever get tired of pizza, pasta, and paninis. Mummify me here, please, and preserve my body with rum. I first ordered an Oroi off the cocktail menu. It was delicious, a perfect level of fruity and just the right strength. Presentation was also 10/10. My second drink, a Hargaroa, was also good but beware if you don't like the flavor of licorice. The lime balanced it out well, in my opinion, but the flavors were strong. If I was here longer, I'd come back in a heartbeat and order another. Their cocktail menu is extensive, with anything you could possibly want from a tiki bar. Prices are also reasonable- sometimes even less than you'd pay for similar drinks in the States. They range from 7-10 euros for standard cocktails. At somewhere fun like this, a 7 euro cocktail is a great deal. Plus, there's a wealth of nonalcoholic options. The bar area is smaller but there's great space in the back, painted all around with cute murals. They go hard on the tiki theme in decor, in the best way. The music was a fantastic playlist of 90s music that had nothing to do with Caribbean/tiki/whatever but I loved it.
