    IL Pomodoro restaurant in Fort Myers, FL is a terrific find! I brought my two best friends here for dinner and they were amazed at the delicious meals they had, the great wine list available and the service. We got to meet one of the owners, as well, when she came to our table to ask how we liked everything. This is a one-off family owned restaurant and I am thrilled that they are located so close to me. I'll be bringing more of my friends and family there! The only downside is that it can get pretty loud, but I'd say that's part of the charm - like eating at a family gathering!

    Fantastic Italian food, great atmosphere and even better when they are running a special email promotion. Spoke to the owner several times during our meal and even attracted attention of another couple with a similar experience

    This was our first visit and il Pomodoro did not disappoint in any way. The service was excellent and the staff were terrific. Great wine list at very fair prices. And all of our meals were outstanding! We will absolutely be returning customers whenever we are in the area.

    My veal franzese was over cooked - should be moist and soft enough to cut with fork! Fettuccini salty. My friend had mussels and was very disappointed. I’ve been here before and this was only bad experience.

    We had an incredible experience at il Pomodoro tonight! We’ve been there several times and tonight we tried selections that we’ve never had before and they were fantastic! I guess we normally stick to our favorite selections on this extensive Italian menu, but we’ve obviously been missing some other tasty options! It’s our favorite Italian fare in the Cape Coral/Ft Myers area. Parking is easy and the staff is friendly and inviting! If you haven’t been, I’d highly recommend it!

    Excellent value, and very good quality. Started with a delicious Gorgonzola salad to entree wonderful prepared. We commented on how hot our meals were when reached our table. Our deserts were excellent and perfectly proportioned. This visit was a celebration meal for my wife’s birthday. Our waitress who was most friendly and cordial, told us my wife’s desert was complementary.

    Food and service was terrific although they were out of a few things and they do not serve hard liquor. Taylor our server was both helpful and adorable. Amongst the four of us we had veal Marcella, chicken, Marcella, lasagna, and chicken Parmesan. We all enjoyed our meal thoroughly. We will be back !!!

    We had reservations. We waited at the front desk to be seated. No one was there. We waited 15 minutes before someone even came up to us then we were seated. We sat down. The woman told us to having a big party there and the kitchen was backed up and we may have to wait a while for food. We left!

    The people were very attentive. I order vegetable with linguine in olive oil and garlic. The vegetables were not drained before placing bowl so there was an inch of liquid in the bottom of the bowl. This left the dish like a soupy, flavorless meal.

    My wife and I wanted a new Italian place for dinner, and il Pomodoro was the best choice we could have made! The restaurant was charming and authentic. Our server, Olivia, was excellent in her job, but also so personable she enhanced our experience. The large and varied made the decisions of starter and entree difficult. My wife’s Caesar salad was perfect. My pasta fagioli was the best I’ve ever had!! My wife’s main course was pasta Mario, with shrimp and chicken: amazing and too much to finish! I had huge stuffed shells, which I haven’t had in decades! The cheeses were amazing and the sauce wonderful. We had a nice Sangiovese in a straw encased bottle! Old school! And to make the evening even better, the prices were a huge value! Everything just came together to perfection and I can’t wait to go back.
