" Just had dinner at Pomodoro and I must say, it was amazing! I'm quite picky about my Italian food and this place hit the mark. The marinara sauce tasted authentic with a hint of fresh basil. I ordered the veal parmesan, which was succulent and served with a generous side of pasta. The service was quick and attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance of the restaurant created a warm and welcoming environment. I recommend the cannoli for dessert; they were heavenly. I'd give it a 10 out of 10 and will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place based on the rave reviews, but my experience fell a bit flat. The garlic knots were decent, but they didn't blow me away. The pizza we tried was also okay, though I could tell the sauce was one of those pre-made types they use. It didn't come across as very authentic, which was a letdown for an Italian place. The atmosphere is nice, very family-oriented and cozy, but the service was a bit slow when we visited. I think I might give it another chance, as everyone seems to have had great experiences. Maybe it was just an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who lived in Italy for a few years, I can confidently say that Pomodoro delivers some of the most authentic Italian food I’ve had since I returned to the States. The ingredients feel fresh and homemade, especially the sauces, which is a rarity in most places. Our meal came out quickly, and everything looked gorgeous. From the first bite of the Margherita pizza to the last forkful of tiramisu, I knew I had discovered a treasure. I even had a chance to chat with the owner, who was super friendly and shared stories about his family's Italian heritage. What a fantastic experience! I'm already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing is the most accurate way to sum up our visit. Despite the good reviews, we found the food lacking in flavor. My boyfriend ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, which was bland and lacked the creamy richness we expected. The service was also disappointing; we waited a long time for our food and the staff seemed overwhelmed. The atmosphere is inviting, but I just couldn't get over the food quality. Maybe we got unlucky, as I see many good reviews, but this certainly wasn't our experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a delightful dinner at Pomodoro Italian Deli last night. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the staff, and the atmosphere felt very homey. We ordered a few pizzas to share and opted for a large salad as well. The pizza crust was spot-on; crispy on the bottom and soft inside, and the tomato sauce tasted so fresh, like it came straight from an Italian kitchen. We tried some homemade cannoli for dessert, and they were to die for! The portion sizes were very satisfying, especially for the price. I'm looking forward to returning soon to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a lukewarm experience at Pomodoro. The pizza was decent but not anything to write home about. I found the crust to be on the softer side, lacking some crunch that I usually enjoy in a good pizza. However, the place does seem to prioritize freshness, which is always good to see. Service staff were polite; I can't complain about them. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing on the menu? I'm willing to give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at Pomodoro Italian Deli was an outstanding experience! The fresh ingredients really stood out in every dish we ordered. I had the spinach artichoke pizza, and it was delightful with a perfectly baked crust. My partner ordered the lasagna, and he claimed it was the best he's ever tasted. The portions were generous, and we left feeling completely satisfied. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for family or friends. The service was also commendable, as the staff was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to go back and try their cannoli, which I've heard is fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)
