Delicious meal at Pomelia! The space is stylish, yet unpretentious in a way that makes you feel like you're in a cute Italian cafe. The food is straightforward and DELICIOUS. Plus, the staff was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was as it should be from drinks to dessert. We'll definitely come back!
