While the acclaim for the food is abundant, the staff also deserves recognition for their attentive service.

This restaurant is a cute little place in Bristol. The food was amazing the staff was attentive did tiramisu knock it right out of the park this is a must try if you don't mind going over the bridge
Rivals any place on federal hill. Thin crispy chicken cutlets, a perfectly balanced sweet red sauce, and a pink vodka sauce that is like candy. Pomodoro is phenomenal.
We stopped by on a Saturday evening in July after passing by a few times in weeks prior, and we were glad we did! We had the gnocchi in two ways - pomodoro sauce and pink vodka sauce - and were not disappointed! The garlic bread as an appetizer hit the spot as well and was toasted and seasoned just the right amount. It also came with heated pomodoro sauce which was perfect for spreading. Reservation recommended! We were lucky that a single table for two just happened to be open. It is not a large venue but absolutely worth being in line for a spot.
I took my 16 son here with a gift card I had gotten from work. Literally the best tasting pasta either of us has ever had, huge portions, our waitress Jessica was fantastic. We even had some pumpkin cheesecake to top it off, once again never had better the cheesecake was so good and the crust (usually an afterthought) was amazing. If I could give me stars believe me I would.
I absolutely love Pomodoros! It serves the best Italian food, and even though it's about an hour away from me, it's always worth the drive. I especially enjoy going during the warmer months so I can dine al fresco. The service is consistently excellent! While the wait can be long, it's always well worth it.
My friend Marlon brought me to this absolute gem of a restaurant. It’s small in size, but enormously overflowing with a waitstaff filled with personality, charm and a sense of humor. I haven’t even told you how delicious the food was tonight. My first meal at every Italian restaurant is always chicken parmigiana. You might think it’s a boring choice, but it gives me a baseline to compare equally across the board. This place is tops!! Honestly, I cannot recommend them highly enough. But obviously I am not the first, nor will I be the last. You better plan on calling ahead to get a reservation. Don’t complain if they are booked solid. It’s a good thing, because they are that good. I regret not taking a photo, but I didn’t put my knife or fork down once I started. The waitstaff actually noticed and joked about how fast it was gone. You gotta try it!
What a gem this place is! Food was delicious, unbelievably reasonable, and its BYOB. Staff was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back. Very small so make sure you make a reservation.
So, so delicious! Very small and cozy. Service was excellent. The red sauce is fabulous as well as the meatballs. The antipasto salad, Veal Sorrentino with pasta and a side of meatballs is a must try. My husband loved the stuffed veal wirh mashed potatoes and broccoli. Chocolate fudge layer cake with whipped cream was amazing. BYOB (wine and ber only) is another plus.
