    Our food was delicious. (More salt than we like.) The two servers handling the restraunt were exceptional and definitely could use more help. Our favorite place to go for birthday celebrations.

    Overall, the experience was disappointing. The inside of the restaurant is more warehouse like with a non-finished floor and most of the tables spread out against the wall very vacant in the middle of the restaurant floor. The service was excellent Aaliyah very good server. The appetizers were the feature. We shared the mozzarella di casa, and the antipasti di casa. The Veal and Chicken Parm were like rubber so that really ruined the meal.

    Another fantastic experience at Il Pomodoro! We brought one of our children, his wife and our granddaughter! The food was incredible and my wife discovered a new favorite entree, the Salmon! The rigatoni bolognese is always fabulous with the scoop of ricotta on top!

    We ordered a house salad with spring lettuce and pine nuts. This we liked very much as lots of pine nuts and the dressing was good, too. The muffins were dried out and we had to ask for butter. We did not like their texture. We both ordered pasta but it came swimming in sauce so that was not good at all. If they used a quarter of the sauce it would be fine!

    The food and service were awesome, as usual! We ended up splitting a meal, because we normally have a lot of leftovers. The portions are extremely generous and are still of great quality. Parking is easy and the entire staff is friendly fill in to help wherever it’s needed. No one is locked into their specific roles or titles! Definitely one of our favorites! Highly recommended!

    Quiet place we’ve been several times and kept going back because it’s good. This time absolutely mediocre. We were sat immediately, another couple sat near us shortly after. They had their wine, water, rolls and were starting on their first course before we even had a single person come by our table. I ordered a meal I LOVE. it was not as I had previously. Pasta was eatery, Luke warm and not very flavorful at all. I am so disappointed in one my favorite eateries to be such a let down.

    1. Our server, Taylor, was most attentive and efficient. 2. Mussels were yummy as were the rolls. 3. Great salad!!! 4. Linguini with clams, not so good. Chopped clams and swimming in sauce. .. 5. Paper napkins and paper tablecloths. 6. Restaurant very empty. Shopping center in which it’s located very empty guessing due to Hurricane Ian…. Would I go again? Probably not.

    IL Pomodoro restaurant in Fort Myers, FL is a terrific find! I brought my two best friends here for dinner and they were amazed at the delicious meals they had, the great wine list available and the service. We got to meet one of the owners, as well, when she came to our table to ask how we liked everything. This is a one-off family owned restaurant and I am thrilled that they are located so close to me. I'll be bringing more of my friends and family there! The only downside is that it can get pretty loud, but I'd say that's part of the charm - like eating at a family gathering!

    We had an incredible experience at il Pomodoro tonight! We’ve been there several times and tonight we tried selections that we’ve never had before and they were fantastic! I guess we normally stick to our favorite selections on this extensive Italian menu, but we’ve obviously been missing some other tasty options! It’s our favorite Italian fare in the Cape Coral/Ft Myers area. Parking is easy and the staff is friendly and inviting! If you haven’t been, I’d highly recommend it!

    Excellent value, and very good quality. Started with a delicious Gorgonzola salad to entree wonderful prepared. We commented on how hot our meals were when reached our table. Our deserts were excellent and perfectly proportioned. This visit was a celebration meal for my wife’s birthday. Our waitress who was most friendly and cordial, told us my wife’s desert was complementary.

    Food and service was terrific although they were out of a few things and they do not serve hard liquor. Taylor our server was both helpful and adorable. Amongst the four of us we had veal Marcella, chicken, Marcella, lasagna, and chicken Parmesan. We all enjoyed our meal thoroughly. We will be back !!!

    We had reservations. We waited at the front desk to be seated. No one was there. We waited 15 minutes before someone even came up to us then we were seated. We sat down. The woman told us to having a big party there and the kitchen was backed up and we may have to wait a while for food. We left!
