- DDanaPhoenix / Arizona •2 reviews5.0Dined on Apr 8, 2025Sat on patio & had an awesome server. Sorry I can’t remember his name as I would like to give him special recognition. We loved being out on the patio on a beautiful evening. We started with the zucchini appetizer which I would not order again. The zucchini was cut paper, thin and fried. Very different than I expected and very greasy. We also ordered a Caprese salad and was a little surprised at how small it was. Three of us had the Taglioni Bolognese and all loved it. The other person had a shrimp and pasta dish and she said it was quite good. When the bill came, we were all surprised that we were charged for bread. I can’t remember going to an Italian restaurant and not being provided bread complementary.More infoPOMO Pizzeria Napoletana - BiltmorePrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Biltmore•4.5
