Pomodoro is the more relaxed, sister restaurant to Pane & Vino on Mosque Street. I've never been to either but heard great things about Pane & Vino so decided to try Pomodoro for dinner. They seated our party downstairs because it looked like there was a private party upstairs. Downstairs was a bit crowded especially for a table of 5 and it was very loud, since the restaurant is on Hennessey Road which means it's we heard every passing bus. But no matter, we came for the food. We wanted to
We wanted to order the baked cheese and ham and eggplant with mozzarella and tomatoes but both dishes were out. We were a little surprised that an Italian restaurant was out of mozzarella… But then again, they were out of 2 different types of wines also. For starters, we ordered the antipasti and fried calamari to share. The antipasti was very good, the marinated sourness provided a good beginning to the start of the meal. The plate consisted of sun dried tomato, grilled zucchini, sardines, roast beets, some corn, roast pumpkin but only 1-2 pieces of each. The fried calamari came with a spicy mariana sauce which was also a good starter but I would have preferred the calamaris a little less fried. All 5 of us ordered pastas for main and I have to say the restaurant did a very good job on all the pastas. I order linguine with seafood and squid ink. The pasta had a lot of seafood and squid ink provided a perfect sea taste to the pasta. My second favorite was the Bucatini which had more of a bite and came with a spicy tomato sauce.
Not sure if the waitress was new or just didn't speak English very well. We had to repeat our order numerous times, even after pointing to the menu. We ordered a bottle of wine with dessert but the wine was still not served after we finished the dessert so we had to cancel it.
Overall, the food is pretty good but don't expect great service and ambience.
