   Let's start with WOW! The pasta dishes here are so amazing and delicious. We each ordered something different and they were great!! We could not have gone wrong with any choice. The flavor was intense, the noodles fresh and al dente and the ingredients worked so well together. We started with a burrata appetizer that left us wanting more. I almost wanted to order a second one, if not for the pasta dish already ordered. Service was attentive and excellent with refills on water on a much needed hot day. Will be back when we can!

   This is a great place to celebrate our anniversary with special friends and their anniversary! We enjoyed our impeccable service with Chris's team. Wonderful attention to all details. Our appetizers were fabulous as well as our high quality entrees with superb wine from Italy. We appreciated our complimentary desserts. They truly made us feel special. It was our first time there and we will surely be back. Highly recommended.

   We live in the area, had never tried Pomodoro and heard they had great Italian food. Sadly, the food was marginal and insanely expensive. The margarita's were stuffed to the brim with ice and bitter. A small sliced sourdough type bread was served, which was dried out as if it was a few days old. The Caesar salad was small with marginal dressing. The chicken parmesan was thin, over-cooked & dry and the side of fettuccini with marinara sauce was rubbery (after being told it was freshly made that afternoon). My wife had the salmon with the fettuccini. It was OK, but relatively small portion (for $38). We had 2 drinks each and no dessert with an initial bill of $149.90. Upon checking the bill there was an extra $10.00 for a beer on it, which upon asking the waiter, he went back for several minutes and removed from the bill for a final total of $139.90. We enjoy eating out at our local restaurants and don't minding spending money for good food, however this was insanely overpriced for marginal food on a quiet early Friday night.

   The food was incredible. Extremely authentic and the presentation was perfect. Excellent waiter and bartender. Price point was very reasonable and on par with the area. Portions were good and worth the amount paid. Drinks were well made, not over filled with ice or watered down. Highly recommend this place ans will return myself.

   Four of us celebrated a birthday at Pomodoro and our waiter was very accommodating and attentive. One of the menu items was not available - two of us ordered it and needed to find another selection. The food was tasty and filling - everyone enjoyed their meals. We found the atmosphere to not be very Italian as it was dark inside and decorated in a Southwestern/Arizona style, which is what the restaurant was previously. We will come back!

   STOP SCROLLING. I know what you are wondering. Is it worth it? Or will you be disappointed? Let me tell you straight- coming here is a good idea. I chose this place to celebrate my birthday and it was the perfect choice. Not only was my pasta some of the best I have had in USA,but the ambiance is lovely. What really bumps this place to five stars is the staff. Lorenzo was a phenomenal manager. He was attentive, flexible, kind, and made the night go as smooth as possible. Peter also was a flawless on the tables, even going the extra mile to make the night special. Could not speak more highly of these two! Definitely will be back!

   Rushed service. Overpriced meals. I wouldn’t have minded spending the money, but our waiter just seemed so frazzled the entire time. Barely speaking to the tables he was assigned. Just rush rush rush. For this kind of price point, service needs to match. And I’m not asking for a butt-kissing experience, but something way friendlier and amiable. Like, just talk to us, feign some interest, instead of the ‘here’s the menu, what do you want’ attitude. So, really no reason to trek up here for a meal when you can get the same/better overpriced decent Italian food in old town/Scottsdale with the same/better service. Shame too, as I was excited about this spot after the good(ish) reviews.

    My son took me here for a wonderful meal on Mother's Day. It was one of the best meals I have had in AZ in the 23 years I have lived here. The seafood was fresh and the flavors where just outstanding. My son had steak which he asked for medium rare and they cooked it perfectly, That usually doesn't happen when he orders steak! I had scallops for an appetizer, sea bass for dinner and canoli with a cappuccino for desert. They had a really nice selection of wine and I could not be happier with my choices, Grazie Pomodoro We will definitely be back.

    Food was excellent, fresh, hot, and well presented. As the first course, we had scallops in an eggplant sauce. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the flavor merger with the sauce was outstanding. My wife ordered the sea bass, again perfectly cooked, although there was a bit more oil on the plate than she liked. I had the lobster ravioli, served with a broiled lobster tail. The sauce was a flavorful bolognese which perfectly complemented the ravioli. The lobster tail was nicely done and flavorful. Dessert was a cannoli with whipped cream garnished with fresh blueberries and strawberries. The pastry was a bit tough but the filling was delicious. The waitstaff were very good considering that they were understaffed but somehow they still managed to stay composed and provided above average table service. We enjoyed our dining experience and highly recommend Pomodoro.

    Based on some of the reviews, I was a little apprehensive. Food was excellent! I had sea bass on linguine. Wife had gnocchi. Service was very good. A little pricey but was worth it for the outstanding food. Would definitely go back.

    Our first time here. The food was very good. Staff are very attentive and polite. I'm a fan of smoked old fashions. Usually when I order a drink, the snake flavor disappears fast. Not here, smoke stayed thru the while drink. The Chilean sea bass was perfect. Not too fishy. And the pesto was blended perfectly with the pasta.

    We had stuffed zucchini flowers and have had better at other restaurants. The Salmon was delicious and cooked to my request…sauce tasted a bit thick and heavy rather than light…. My husband thought his meat dish was a bit heavy but taste was good served with mashed potatoes….was our anniversary and dessert was complementary which was nice. Emily was fantastic waitress, quiet atmosphere on a Monday night. Thought it was a bit pricey compared to other local restaurants.

    the gorgonzola gnocchi was immaculate. it tasted like no other gnocchi i’ve had before - and i’ve had from a few places in the valley. they were good, but pomodoro is excellent!! definitely give it a try, it’s worth every minute to drive there. My best friend and I went up there just for the day to have a day of relaxation and good food - we were not disappointed in any way. Will be back!!

    We had never been here before and we decided to try it for happy hour (which is only from 5-6), we made reservations for 5 and specified we were going for happy hour. We arrived at 4:58 and the front door was locked, another family arrived and knocked on the door and the manager opened it. We ordered drinks and some appetizers to start and said we were going to order more. They weren’t very busy but it appeared our waiter was the only wait person there, he was even working the bar. He came back to our table at 6 and we wanted to order entrees from the happy hour menu and was told it was 6pm and happy hour was over. He was really quite rude about it and we don’t feel we were treated properly at all! The appetizers we had were just okay (calamari, mussels, caprese salad and focaccia) It’s unfortunate we had such a bad experience because our neighbors that we brought there are are full-time residents and they were also disappointed Needless to say none of us plan on going back there. If the restaurant really doesn’t want to offer a happy hour they should just remove it from their website.

    What an amazing wine dinner. Everything from start to finish was top notch. The wine presentation was great. Love learning more about the history and background of Italian producers. The dinner was out of this world. The Bistecca was one of the biggest I’ve ever seen. The quality was insane. Cannot wait for the next event. Thanks to Federico and Viola and crew for always having cool things like this.
