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.

    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.

    Everyone we interacted with was super friendly and the staff clearly value their work. Unfortunately we couldn't rate this higher as we waited 30 min for our seats even with reservations, and we weren't thrilled with our dishes. Next time we would probably stick to their tried and true menu items, rather than go for the specials. Overall a good bet though!

    I ordered one of the specials, Black Linguine with Primavera, Scallops and Mussels Topped with a Salmon Cake in a Dijon Breading. I was able to order it with shrimp instead of mussels. However, i did not hear the waiter say calamari and not scallops. The only way I will eat calamari is fried. The linguini and vegetables were so overcooked I could barely eat it. They were very nice and brought me some scallops but that did not help. White sangria was delicious.
