About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
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.

    It was one of our stops every time we visited the city for the last 10 years. Something has changed there. It wasn’t even close to what it used to be from service to food. Really unfortunate.

    Such a gem on the upper west side that never disappoints. The specials are always impressive and go with the season and the staff is so friendly and thoughtful. Oh and of course the signature rosemary focaccia stands out versus any other Italian restaurant

    This is my favorite restaurant on the Upper West Side. Most delicious rigatoni vodka, and my favorite dish on their menu is the tomato soup (which comes in a delicious bread bowl!). Highly recommend!!!!

    A friend and I shared the salad of the day that was delicious. Then we also shared the spaghetti squash with chicken and shrimp. They cut it in half in the kitchen. Certainly this was big enough to share. Everything was delicious.
