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.

While the food, ambience, and service were incredible, I couldn’t get over the fact that I was being broken up with. If I had to broken up with anywhere I’m glad it was here at Pomodoro.

They had lobster thermador on the menus. However, I don’t like creamy anything so I asked for a spicy red sauce. As always , they not only accommodated my request, but the dish was amazing. It’s always like that at Pomodoro- great food, great service and people, and simply a joy to dine there

The three of us each had one of the daily specials-short ribs, red snapper and soft shell crab. Service was unfailingly polite and fast and each of the entrees was outstanding. The short ribs could easily be cut they were so tender. The red snapper was in a very flavorful sauce. We topped off with a classic and delicious tartufo dessert with ice cream in a hard chocolate shell along with cherries.

We go here every time we are in the area (we are from 50 miles away). So every trip to the Beacon Theater. The food is great, the owner makes everyone feel good to be alive. The waiters obviously follow his lead. A great place to eat. Good outdoor space.

We had a nice experience. The pricing is very expensive ($30 per plate and $18 drinks) but the service was nice and food was delicious. Just don’t think we’d go back with those prices. Cheers!

In NYC its hard to be an Italian restaurant and this one has nothing to put it above the rest other than being a good option for those in the neighborhood. The entree took ONE HOUR from ordering to arrive at the table. This was not due to the wait staff they were the best part of the meal. Some of the better options were not on Open Table, so I say do a search and call the other local restaurants directly or just show up.

I have not been to this restaurant for a number of years because of relocation to Miami. However, having the opportunity to be in New York once again I gave it a try. I must have eaten here 30 times in the past before opera or ballet. Anyway, the food was as good as ever, the wait staff could not do enough to keep us happy, and no one pushed us out the door because they needed the table. We were here for lunch. The food, great menu still, quality and value. One thing missing, was Peter. Catch you next time Peter. Excellent neighborhood, Italian restaurant. RDP

This was always a place where the fish and other entrees were just so-so, but the pasta was always delicious. Not so anymore. The three of us ordered three different pasta dishes and none of us were happy with them. They were all under-flavored and the "sauce" was so skimpy, the pasta was dry. An immense disappointment. Two of us had one cocktail. No apps, no dessert... and we paid $200. We could have made pasta and drinks at home for a fraction of the cost. What is happening to NYC restaurants? The food is falling well below par.

We've been coming to Pomodoro's for years, and the food is always excellent, and so is the service. There are always interesting and delicious specials, but the regular menu has something for everyone to enjoy. We enjoy a competitively priced, generous glass of wine and there are nice options. It is a welcoming, lovely restaurant, and the noise level is quiet enough to have a conversation.
