  • Charming
Pomodoro, at 229 Columbus Avenue has been a neighborhood favorite for years. The beautifully prepared Italian classics and excellent service has earned this restaurant a loyal following of Upper West Siders. Beige walls adorned with decorative ceramic plates from Italy, a ceiling trellis with hanging grapes and red and white-checkered tablecloths evoke the feeling of an authentic Italian trattoria. The street side outdoor café is the place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine and savor the antipasti while watching the people stride by.

    I ordered one of the specials, Black Linguine with Primavera, Scallops and Mussels Topped with a Salmon Cake in a Dijon Breading. I was able to order it with shrimp instead of mussels. However, i did not hear the waiter say calamari and not scallops. The only way I will eat calamari is fried. The linguini and vegetables were so overcooked I could barely eat it. They were very nice and brought me some scallops but that did not help. White sangria was delicious.

    We have been to Pomodoro's numerous times. The food is always delicious and the service is always topnotch. It is definitely a family restaurant so if you are looking for a romantic dinner this might not be the place but we enjoy coming here when we are in NYC. As a side note, we started coming here due to the Seinfeld episode where Pomodoro's is mentioned as a breakup restaurant (LOL)!

    The pastas are always reliable, yesterday was no exception. But the melanzane appetizer was undercooked and borderline tasteless. We should have sent it back. The major problem is the poor service we received in a nearly empty restaurant. Much time was spent waving down anyone to request water refills, order drinks and our meal. Once we were served, no one stopped by to ask if we needed anything and part of our order never arrived (we told them to remove it from the bill). Our waiter was tucked behind the bar glued to his phone, the rest of the staff averted their gaze as we tried to get their attention. We will be taking our business elsewhere next time, as there are many other options within walking distance.

    Occasionally uneven food quality. The shrimp are always mushy and tasteless, clearly frozen and lacking in texture and taste, even with sauce. A starter of burrata and prosciutto sometimes is beautifully arranged with an appropriate portion of prosciutto but other times is sloppy and ridiculously stingy. Last night it was 2 tiny pieces of prosciutto —were they out of it? If so, let us know—and reduce the price of an expensive menu item! Service always good, welcome always warm, ambience perfect.
