Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Il Pomodoro is a charming Italian restaurant that consistently delivers "authentic Italian food" and "excellent service." Guests rave about the "warm bread," "huge portions," and signature dishes like the Salmon Martina and Rigatoni Bolognese. The cozy atmosphere, "friendly staff," and fair wine prices make it a favorite local gem.

    Enjoyed the food- yummy fried mozzarella appetizer and pasta with meat sauce. Noise level was moderate so conversation was comfortable- no shouting necessary. Staff was attentive. Will return & do recommend.

    Good service unfortunate food is below par. Table setting was tacky, paper over a plastic table cloth and paper napkins. Pizza had zero taste, caprese salad was cold and had old hard mozzarella cheese and paper thin tomatoes covered in balsamic vinegar. We had to send it back. The veal parm was good, not over fried. The sauce tasted like it came from a can. If you want to experience real Italian food, this is not the place.

    Had the Salmon Martina. It was excellent with goat cheese, roasted peppers, and generous portion of artichoke hearts. Wife had Chicken Scaloppini and she said the chicken was very moist and a lot of artichokes. Garlic rolls were amazing. Definitely recommend.

    Our evening at iL Pomodoro on 2/14/25 started promisingly, arriving just before our 7:00 PM reservation. A short wait was made pleasant by the hostess offering drinks. While initially engaging, our server's wine knowledge was lacking. We ordered the Italian Egg Rolls, which were decent but not outstanding, arriving after a 15-minute wait. By this point, 30 minutes in, other patrons were already receiving their entrees. Unfortunately, our main course order was lost, resulting in a 60-minute wait. Despite repeated assurances from our server, our meals didn't arrive until 90 minutes after we arrived. The hostess was apologetic, offering either a complimentary dessert or appetizer removal. My fish special was just okay, but my wife enjoyed her meal. The restaurant was bustling, and departing guests raved about the food. Our experience, however, fell far short of expectations. While the hostess tried to make up for the error, the server seemed less concerned with resolving the issue, and management involvement was minimal. The excessive wait and order mix-up significantly impacted our dining experience. While the food had some redeeming qualities, the poor service overshadowed it. Would I return? Perhaps, but this "one off" was undoubtedly a significant disappointment.

    Excellent, attentive service, great food. The warm bread is to die for! I would ask for the Calamari Arrabiata to be spicier, but that's a personal preference. Easy to get to, easy parking, and one of our favorites.
