Pomodoro Ristorante Italiano

We were a little worried at the first sight of the building but that’s part of what made this establishment special. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and engaging and the pricing was very reasonable.
On the way out we noticed a table getting tiramisu and asked for one to go. They gave it to us and refused payment as we had already settled the bill.
Fantastic!

Food was very good, really enjoyed the veal. But what put a damper on our experience they crammed a party of five next to us at table for four. The person at that table's back was hitting our table. Not very enjoyable when you have people sitting on top you. The manager was told by the server that we were not happy about the sitting arraignment and he did not even come over to apologize, mainly because it was his ideal to cram those people into that space. I had to move our table to get my wife out of her seat for us to leave.

You are short-changing yourself if you haven't been here yet. Do it. Now.

I recently dined at Pomodoro, a charming Italian restaurant in Point Loma, and was thoroughly impressed by the experience.

The highlight of our evening was the exceptional service provided by Assistant Manager Paul I. His professionalism and genuine care for our dining experience was remarkable. His commitment to customer satisfaction was truly impressive, so, I felt compelled to share my admiration with the owner.

Equally noteworthy was our waitress, Sophia. Her warm demeanor and attentive service complemented the delightful meal, making the evening even more enjoyable. The food at Pomodoro was top-notch, enhancing an already fantastic dining experience.

What’s more, this gem of a restaurant is just a short walk from my home, adding to my appreciation of the place. With such outstanding service and delicious food, Pomodoro has certainly won me over. Kudos to the team for creating such a memorable dining experience. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Thank you,

We love the neighborhood restaurant vibe at Pomodoro. They provide healthy portions with great service. I recommend the Osso Buco, which had a ample portion of meat with great flavor. 

Delicious and fresh, authentic flavors. Had salmon bow tie with vodka sauce , mushroom ravioli, penne arrabiatta, tomato basil angel hair.

The Gnocchi is amazing. I highly recommend the Alfredo sauce or the pink sauce.

This is a charming spot for an Italian dinner. The ambiance is cozy yet lively, and the food is consistently very good. And the prices are what I would call reasonable these days. This is one of our top Italian restaurants in San Diego.

Great food!

4th time there now, food is always consistently excellent. Service was good not great this time, but it was a busy night. Sitting on the patio was fantastic, definitely the best Italian restaurant in the area.

Food as always was delicious. The artichokes are a must! I appreciated the server warning me that their espresso martini wasn't good. I didn't take his advice and ordered it anyways and didn't like it, but that was my fault lol. Was a little warm and wish the AC was colder but overall always amazing!

Great Italian restaurant. Would go there again. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was amazing, as was the service. Highly recommend the San Simeon Petit Sirah red wine. It pairs wonderfully with most items on the menu. Great vegetarian options as well. I can't recommend the place highly enough. Enjoy anything you have here!

Hostess did not check in for reservation, or show interest in seating us according to the fact that we had one. We were given two options for seating, both were uncomfortable but I was with my mom visiting from out of town so we agreed on taking the outside table. After being seated, we were not greeted kindly or enthusiastically. Our server was short, and inattentive. Then, our food runner was whistling while dropping our food at the table, which is not appropriate. if there was good service otherwise, I wouldn't have minded. I was hoping to impress my mom with something good to eat close to my house, something nice and representative of San Diego! But I was extremely disappointed. I felt like a nuisance to the whole restaurant. The food was fine, good portion. Just so disappointed.
