Pomodoro Pizzeria & Trattoria, Riverside

This beautiful, family-friendly restaurant is all about comfort classics. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. We were told about the specials and examined the unique menu. It wasn’t your usual spaghetti and meatballs kind of place. It’s the kind of place where you can easily become a regular. Everything on the menu is incredibly tasty and extremely well, lovingly prepared/old school dishes/. The Veal Parmigiana and Crispy Calamari are an absolute delight! The Signature Pie Pizza baked in a brick oven is a pizza you can’t find in any pizzeria. Great wine and dessert selection as well! If you have any room left for dessert –don’t miss a Chocolate Mousse Cake-the best I ever had. Go here to impress your spouse, a client, friends and family. FANTASTICO !!!

My friend and I ordered a pizza, chicken fingers, and two sandwiches for delivery. First of all, forget the chicken fingers. You might as well buy frozen chicken nuggets. I cannot comment on the sandwiches because someone at those. The pizza was very good, but came cold. Here is why. I echo other reviewers' experience. Their delivery service is atrocious. My friend ordered at 11:33 AM. At 12:32 PM, I called to ask about our order and was told the driver was on his way (obviously). 20 minutes later - which more than covers the distance between Pomodoro and our location - food was still nowhere to be found. Food finally arrived shortly after 1 PM - with the kicker that they prepared 2x the same order. I personally would like to have the pizza again - this time hot. I would never order delivery again. For all these reasons, I had to give it a 3 stars out of 5.

Ordered a quick meal for my 2 hungry kids. Promised delivery in 30-40 minutes. Drive came after over 1 hour and forgot part of the meal. Last time I will make this mistake.

I read the other reviews while staying in this area for work but decided to order when I saw the outside of the restaurant looked very nice. I had the spaghetti w/ meat sauce and it was excellent. The delivery was prompt and the person on the phone who took my order was very nice. They also had great italian ice (cherry)! Very pleasantly surprised!!!!!

Order your lunch at breakfast time and dinner at lunch because they are always late delivering the food (usually takes 1 1/2 hours). Plus, don't you dare calling the restaurant if the order is late, unless you want to deal with the self-righteous manager/owner's attitude who instead of apologizing for the delay and reassuring you that food is on the way, insists on trying to prove your clock wrong. It is sad, actually, because we used to greatly enjoy Pomodoro. The staff tries hard to be corteous, but it is impossible if their leader is casting a rude shadow on them. They should hire a person with actual customer servicing skills and leave the rude manager to manage the business, preferably next to the hot pizza oven with no access to a phone or the cash register.

When they first opened the service and food were good. Now they have raised prices, use lower quality produce and the entire staff has an attitude. Too bad, because many dishes are good, but many are not worth half what they charge including $12 glasses of wine and the carrots they use in the salad look and taste like cardboard

Great food, good atmosphere and a wonderful and friendly staff. My husband and I visit there weekly. Great place to bring children and have a terrific pasta dinner. Favorite Appetizer (special - not on regular menu): stuffed artichoke.

worst place ever!!!

Pizza looks, smells, and tastes awful. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
