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.

    My favorite Lincoln Center restaurant. It's really a neighborhood place, filled with kids and locals. The food is excellent, and a value compared with others on Columbus Avenue. I recognize the manager, and the waiters, all of whom have been there for years. I am just comfortable in the place - hard to define exactly, but I know it when I see it. TJL

    Pomodoro Rosso is always fabulous. Vodka martinis ar perfect, filled to the icy brim. Last night’s special with soft shell crab on pasta was terrific. My husband had tasty spaghetti carbonara. A friend had seafood pasta piled with mussels and shrimp. All the food is fresh and delicious. We enjoy the lively atmosphere in the main dining area. But there is a more private quiet seating area in the back that we like sometimes as well. Servers are friendly & helpful. The entire experience is delightful.

    As always, the food was amazing. My Red Snapper dish (withJumbo Shrimp, Veggies, Potatoes in a Lobster Broth) was one of the best fish dishes I've had in a while. Peter, the owner, is more than accommodating, as is his staff. Pomodoro Rosso is great for both comfort food and innovative cuisine. The bar is tended by a very experienced and generous staff.
