  • 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.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Xmas eve dinner . I very much appreciated that your regular menu was available. The Chilean sea bass and pasta with seafood selections were delicious! Our waiter was wonderful and even split our dinners so we could have a taste of each dish. Happy Holiday!

    There are so many Italian restaurants to choose from in NYC that a person might not think one would stand out. But Pomodoro Rosso does. The combination of great service, great food choices, generous drinks, incredibly tasty food--from appetizers, to dinners, to deserts--makes this restaurant stand out. And it is all wrapped up in a quiet, but vibrant, setting where you can actually hear the other people at your table when they talk. Yes, that is still possible in today's world. Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant. I have no personal interest in the restaurant or anyone associated with it. They don't know my name and don't give me any extra attention. This is about as honest a review as you will ever read. And, after you go, post your own review. They deserve it.

    The food is always delicious with big portions. The owner makes you feel welcomed and cared for. The crowded restaurant is indicative of the fine food and warm atmosphere. Highly recommend Pomodoro Rosso.
