Il Pomodoro Italian Restaurant

A nice local restaurant Pretty good selection Friendly service Food was good I'd go back Few people there on an early Saturday evening Hope they can stay open If the was 4.5 stars I would give it that

We got to go food. It was good and quick service.. it was pricey and would have expected a little better food, however still really good food, just needs better pricing.

We had the Parmesan chicken and pesto. Absolutely delicious with very generous portions. Highly recommend!

Waiter forgot to put in 3 of our 4 orders then food came burnt and tasteless. Free dessert for our trouble.1st time having a tasteless cannoli. No sugar no chocolate chips. Will not be back!

My reviews for Il POMODORO must seem like they're copies of each other! The food was incredibly delicious and the portions are large enough for 2 meals! Our server was awesome and helped us get in and out of the restaurant. I'm disabled so this is greatly appreciated. The parking is always a breeze. It's by far our favorite spot in Ft Myers. I consider it to be casually elegant. Broad menu of Italian cuisine. It's a 10 out of 10!

The food was sup-par at best. I ordered the veal piccata and one of the piece of veal was rancid. The smell was horrible. What I explained that to the waiter he send be a piece of desert for all four of us to share. Complained again and said that the food was bad, did you tell the chef. There could be other pieces that are bad and should check. Finally he took it off the bill. Never going back there again. Also for a Saturday night at 7:30pm the place was empty. Now I know why.

This restaurant's name means the tomato in Italian and their sauce is awful. I had the veal cardinale. Veal & eggplant overcooked and the sauce had no taste. My husband had the seafood over pasta with olive oil & garlic. It was butter & garlic. I'm 100% Italian. I cook & know food. They need a new cook. I won't be back.

I had Calsone with spinach and mushrooms. It was very good, but light on the mushrooms, and I would have preferred fresh spinach (vs sautéed). My wife had tortellini with shrimp, peas, and mushrooms (see pics). It was very good. Our friend had salmon. She said it was delicious. The portions are very big. The server was friendly but not as frequent as she should have been. E.g., my water, which is my preferred beverage, was not filled as frequently as it should have been, especially since the cup is maybe 8 oz. Also, there were only two other couples in the restaurant during our meal (we may have arrived just as the doors opened for dinner..?). Regardless, the temperature was nice, and it was clean. I would go back if in the area. I hope your visit is just as nice or better.

We had such an outstanding experience at il Pompdoro, where we had dinner with friends last night. From the moment we walked in, such friendly staff and attentive service. Our dinners were amazing , from the presentation to the flavors of each dish ... wow ! Can't say enough about this gem in Ft Myers. We all will be back !!

First time trying this place, trying to add some new places in the rotation. Two dishes caught my eye I order for my special needs son since he’s nonverbal so I always pick his cuisine. I ordered the gnocchi cone fungi, and also the chicken and spinach cannelloni.. The gnocchi definitely was flavorful, but it lacked in quantity. I always see if I can count the amount of pieces I get it’s not enough. It tasted great. It was just a little bit weak on the portion. The chicken and spinach cannelloni had great flavor a unique dish they just were skimpy on the sauce again if I was dining in, I’m pretty sure I could’ve requested more of both. I will definitely eat here again and try other dishes. It’s a quaint nice little place. Also the garlic rolls and or knots were great. They were soft and fresh and they were not doused in garlic, where your fingers your breath and your car smelled like you were warding off vampires.

We finally tried Il Pomodoro Restaurant tonight for our anniversary and it was fabulous! Our server Alicia was very kind and attentive and Denise was the wonderful manager also checking up on us. We started with mussels fra diavolo and then my husband had the Chicken Toscano and I had the Spaghetti Caprese. We finished the meal with the chocolate cannoli. Everything was fabulous and we will be back soon to try some other dishes!

If you have not been here they are a MUST TRY! 95% of their food is fresh made in house. They cut no corners, everything is fresh, invigorating, and the staff strive to make each of their customers feel welcome. Every staff member that interacted with us made us feel like we were family and made sure they frequently checked on us and that we were satisfied. Hands down our new favorite. So fresh, flavorful and authentic. This place makes you feel like you're sitting down and eating in your Italian grandmother's kitchen!

The food was delicious, garlic bread is the best and great service.

If I could give them a 10 star rating I would! It was our first time trying them out and definitely won't be our last! The only thing I regret is not talking a picture of our dinners! It was hard to choose from such a good menu. My husband had the Fettuccine alfredo with chicken, I had Penne al vodka with sweet Italian sausage. Both were so fresh, hot and delicious! Our waitress was fantastic! We look forward to returning soon! So glad we found this gem.
