What People Are Saying About Pomodoro
The Editor
Gerrish Lopez
Citysearch
The Scene – Though Pomodoro isn't as big or stylish as Hanover Street's other trattorias, it stands out by being communal and fun. Small tables--already crowded by bottles of mineral water, mounds of bread and bowls of olive oil--fill up quickly, causing an equal mix of tourists and locals to form a line outside. Social servers are quick to greet regular customers and point out favorite menu items. – – The Food – With a menu that redefines the concept of Italian fare as comfort food, the kitchen provides patrons with a satisfying spot in which to enjoy a full meal or a…

racist owner
by eatnutella
I see that another reviewer had a horrible racist experience here at Pomodoro... I did as well. Not only is she absolutely rude and treats customers like dirt, the owner there is a clear racist (I won't repeat her remarks here) and gives different races preferential treatments. For example, I argued her about it (we waited for a table for more than an hour, but she ALMOST gave our table to a "better race" group who arrived much after us), she didn't even apologize. This was not the only incident that night... Will never go there again.
- Pros: decent food
- Cons: absolutely rude

AWFUL
by care516
my problem was that the waitress was incredibly rude and made inappropriate comments to me that were so hurtful that i walked out of the restaurant crying. my date and i were there for 2.5 hours, and she asked us quite rudely to leave so that other customers could have the table. i've never been asked to leave a restaurant before, and while it's somewhat understandable since it's a small place, we paid $50 each for an entree and a shared bottle of wine and she could have asked more nicely. we left her an $18 tip, which i wish now that we hadn't. i went to use the restroom after we paid, and when i came out, she started yelling at me that "in this country and in this culture, it's considered polite manners to close the bathroom door when you're done using it." she also said more stuff to follow up on that. first off, it's not my fault that the restaurant is so tiny that i couldn't walk out of the bathroom to close the door, because the waitress was pouring wine at a table. secondly, why does she have to assume that because i have an asian face, that i'm not part of this country and american culture? i've never had someone make judgments on me because of my ethnicity, and so yes, i walked out of pomodoro in tears.
- Cons: horrendous service
