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.

    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.

    Best Italian restaurant on the West Side. It’s my go-to whenever I’m going to Lincoln Center or the Beacon.

    We were visitors to NYC but were told to come here by a local. The food, wine, and service were wonderful. Next time we're in town, we will absolutely be back!
