WE CATER ANY EVENT no celebration is too large or too small!

Tomatina is a classic Italian restaurant. This is a casual and relaxed Italian neighborhood restaurant. As a sharp contrast to fine Italian dining, this is a place to enjoy a glass of wine and unwind with unpretentious pasta dishes served in hearty portions. Tomatina is designed to appeal to as many people as possible, which is why they carry a vegetarian, gluten-free and children's menu in addition to their regular ones. Each month, Tomatina offers seasonal specials in addition to the normal menu. These offerings have included a chicken apple salad, roasted cauliflower pizza and even a proscuitto and fig piadine. Staples of the menu that guests can always count on are dishes such as the ravioli di formaggi, mini-hand tossed pizzas.

Food was good. Service was uneven. Dinner came quickly, dessert took 30 minutes from order to delivery and it was wrong. Still, I’ll go back.

I’m not a big fan of QR code ordering. It’s very impersonal.

We had a nice and attentive server. Food was hot and came out in reasonable time. We gave a feeling shrimp and sauce were frozen, so there’s that.

We specifically come on Thursdays because it's "kids night" and our two boys absolutely love the food and the atmosphere. Our meals were simply outstanding. The service staff were kind, generous, and helpful. We could not be happier with our dining experience.

We come here often and are always happy with our experience overall. Last night our primary server was wonderful - she was attentive, helpful and extremely nice. The person who delivered our order to the table was not so much...he was not terribly friendly and didn't know who ordered what (delivery lottery). Not sure if the ticket could be written in a way to make this obvious (there were only 3 of us - so not terribly tricky). He didn't even try. I suggest the next time our primary server deliver the meals or help the secondary server understand who-gets-what. The carbonara, chicken parm and winter pasta were wonderful. Also love the outdoor heated patio.
