About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Wonderful returning to a dining spot my friend frequented 30 years ago! Food was very good, servers attentive and fun (some there from 30 years ago!), and ambiance hasn’t changed: loud family & friends establishment! Loved it!

    The mussels were very good. The pasta dish was horrible, the lobster was tough, extremely overcooked and possibly old. I couldn’t even cut through it with a knife. The shrimp were also tough and overcooked. The shiitake mushrooms were not fresh!!! So disappointed after hearing great things!

    Came for lunch on Sunday before a show. The restaurant was not busy, so the noise level was perfect. Three of us had the chicken special It was delicious. The two brunch items were good not great. Service was really good.

    Two of us had the pasta special which contained linguini, meatballs, chicken, and asparagus. I’m not a pasta lover but this was outstanding. Our third diner had the regular lobster ravioli which was a decent portion, not overpowering and he was happy. We all enjoyed the fried calamari appetizer in red sauce and for dessert, we had their great tartufo ice cream in a hard chocolate shell. Service was very courteous and prompt. We did not have to rush them either our concert announcement. This restaurant is a frequent favorite of ours.
