About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
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 have been to Pomodoro Rosso several times and it is always good. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the food is consistently good, and the service is excellent. This time, Paolo was attentive, responsive, and friendly. Thanks, Paolo! We'll be back!

    Food was excellent as usual! Service would have been 5 star however the app was not described correctly and I would have ordered something else. The cucumber martini is still the best on the UWS!!!
