The Pomodoro Reviews
The food is phenomenal, and they have great cocktails and martinis too. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. It’s our favorite spot in the Rockford region for Italian food.
Stopped in for a dinner date on a weeknight; We were seated quickly but waited over 30 minutes with nobody taking our order even though they were not very busy. Even waters took about 10 minutes. They had the two waitresses bussing tables while the parties were still seated and should have had the hostess on menus and waters. Completely inefficient. We left at the 35 minute mark with no order placed, and I wonder how long it took them to notice we were gone. Disappointing.
Great menu, great staff and service!!

The Pomodoro offers a mixed dining experience. While the service is efficient, friendly, and attentive, the atmosphere can be loud and crowded at times due to live music performances. The menu features a variety of dishes, with highlights such as delicious salads and the flavorful blackened chicken Alfredo. Customers have also enjoyed the whiskey and bourbon selection, including Pappy's and Weller CYPB, with the owner often engaging in conversations about whiskey. The restaurant provides a casual sports bar vibe, and the staff, like Grace, are praised for their quick service. The food has received positive comments for its great flavor and larger-than-average portions, with some dishes like Bacon wrapped scallops, calamari, lobster ravioli, Steak sandwich, and shrimp scampi being favorites. Despite some dishes like the pomodoro pasta and sausage and pepper pasta being found bland by some, the overall experience is considered enjoyable. The location, atmosphere, and quality food make The Pomodoro a decent option for those seeking a relaxed dining experience with a lively environment.
