Pomodori food is consistently great and the service is comfortably quick. Our server, Madi, is the best - so personable and charming. If you get her, you're in for added treat. Prices are also very resaonable for the amount of food you get. read more

We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Pomodori on Hilton Head Island! From the welcoming atmosphere to the incredible food, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality of the fresh ingredients used throughout each dish, which made the meal stand out. We started with the Arancini, and they were fantastic! Crispy and golden on the outside with a delicious, savory, cheesy center. Served over a flavorful tomato sauce and finished with Parmesan and fresh basil, they were the perfect start to the meal. The Chicken Parmesan was another standout. The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and topped with flavorful marinara and a generous layer of melted cheese. The pasta and fresh tomato sauce complemented it perfectly, making this a hearty and satisfying dish. The Fettuccine Alfredo was rich, creamy, and incredibly comforting. The sauce was smooth and flavorful, the pasta was perfectly cooked, and the Parmesan and fresh basil added the perfect finishing touch. What really impressed us was the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and carefully prepared rather than mass-produced. Overall, Pomodori exceeded our expectations. Every dish we tried was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. If you're visiting Hilton Head Island and looking for excellent Italian food made with quality ingredients, Pomodori is definitely worth a visit! read more

Last week was another incredible MEAL at Pomidori! I usually get the veal parm, but the LINGUINE WITH MEATBALLS, CHEFS KISS! My new favorite! We've been coming to Pomidori for a few years, & enjoy the food ALWAYS! My husband had his usual Gnocchi he can't get away from. The Arancini Balls are surprisingly light & of course delicious! I walked away with 2 more meals & need more meatballs. The sauces are FRESH & light, the bread has a delicious crust & soft center. Salads are delicious & dressed perfectly! We were six this time & have had the same lackadaisical waiter who was never around. How he's been there this long is beyond me. I cringe when we sit in his section, knowing I'll have to ask for things when they have such better servers! The staff running the food is delightful & helpful too. The restaurant has photos of Chef making the pasta & is light & bright. Always pleasant to go too. We split our time between HHI & Midwest & always manage to go at least 2xs per visit. I can't wait for more meatballs! read more

Pomodori is a lovely and intimate Italian restaurant in Hilton Head. Most of my group ordered seafood with our pasta dishes, and all the seafood was fresh. My mom got a scallop and fresh pasta dish, and the scallops were perfectly cooked, the best cooked scallops I had on the island. The house-made pasta is so good, you've got to try their fresh, hand-cut pappardelle. The service and ambiance in the restaurant were welcoming. read more

Have no idea who is writing favorable reviews of this place. They are wrong or fake. Worst meal I can remember when dining out. Fettucine Alfredo with shrimp: Alfredo sauce broke and was inedible. the shrimp were not grilled, looked and tasted like they took em out of the freezer and warmed em in the sauce. flavorless! Vodka sauce with scallops: pasta over cooked and mushy. Sauce flavorless. scallops again no color, no flavor. pan seared, I don't think so. Wine offerings were many and all were awful. Surprised that 19 crimes wasn't on the list...similar offerings. Finished nothing and went somewhere else for dessert. read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews but felt I should based on the experience. Based on the reviews I expected the food to be much better than it was. It was so disappointing. The kale salad was bitter and acidic to the point that it was inedible. The fettuccini Alfredo sauce broke, the cream separated from the cheese. The fettuccini was drowning in sauce. The shrimp were undercooked. I really wish they had used freshly grated parmesan rather than scooping it from a bowl. The staff were wonderful. Cute little place but too warm. read more

Delicious from start to finish! Wednesday night dinner on HHI we decided Italian would be the way and made reservations . Pomodori offers a small and intimate dining environment with a bar in the back half of the restaurant. We started with the fried artichokes and split a ceasar salad. The artichoke portion was delicious! Lightly fried artichokes with a lemon aioli sauce - artichokes are not cheap and I was surprised at how large a portion is given. Ceasar salad was perfectly dressed, not drowning in dressing and all greens were fresh and crisp. Entrees included the salmon ala piccata with angel hair pasta. My wife enjoyed it immensely but warns it comes with plenty of garlic so beware. I had the flounder francese and substituted pappardelle for linguini.. Flounder was great, the thin egg battered fish was perfect and the pappardelle was a must have - perhaps best ive had Fully satisfied we opted to pass on dessert but I have faith it would have been delicious. For those of you who are big eaters I have to make a point Pomodori's portions will bot leave you hungry! Buon appetito e arrivederci read more

Decided on this spot last minute, and given it was a very wet, rainy, cold Friday evening! They were pretty busy, so we had about a 30-minute wait. On their website, it does mention reservations only, so if you're visiting the island, I'd definitely recommend calling ahead for any restaurants you want to try, this town is busy no matter the season. I think people here just love eating out! As much as I want to deduct a star for the wait, I have to say the service and food were absolutely impeccable. The only minor hiccup was that the runners and servers weren't always perfectly in sync, but big shoutout to the hardworking cooks in the back, they really keep this town thriving. Hope they get the recognition they deserve! Now, onto the food, the bread was hot and fresh, the calamari and sauce was delish! I had the Pappardelle con Capesante e Vodka -house-made vodka sauce, hand-cut pasta, pancetta, sea scallops, and fresh basil. My partner ordered the Zuppa di Pesce con Arrabbiata - scallops, shrimp, mussels, garlic, spicy tomato sauce, and linguine. The sear on the scallops was definitely there, and the amount of mussels in the zuppa di pesce was enormous. read more

A group of seven of us had dinner here while visiting HHI. We had reservations and our table was ready when we got there. We started out with three appetizers for the table and a bottle of wine. We got the olives, burrata cheese, and the fried calamari. All of them were really good. I ordered the chicken marsala with angel hair, and my wife ordered the scallops with vodka sauce. Both of our dishes were excellent. Other dishes from the table were the short beef ragu and pasta, and the salmon with a salad. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Our server was great throughout the meal. Great Italian place on the island. read more

We were able to book a reservation just a few hours before our time. We arrived on time and were seated at the bar . Immediately our server, Madi, greeted us and served us water. She told us what the chef's special was. She is very personable and great at her job. My wife ordered Pappardelle Capesante, and I had Lasagna A Forno. We were given warm bread and our choice of butter or Oil and Balsamic with fresh ground parmigiana cheese. My Lasagna was the best I have ever had. Everything is fresh made with care. We want to thank Dennis and Debbie for a wonderful recommendation. read more

This was our first time at Pomodori. Amazing food! Our party of 4 ordered seafood with linguini, chicken Marsala, chicken Milanese and gnocchi and meatballs. Everything was absolutely delicious.

Great place! The restaurant is pretty small, but they make good use of the space and we got a table in the outside enclosed patio. Service and the host was great, food came very quickly. We ordered a Caesar salad and bruschetta to start and loved both. I ordered the Zappa di pesce con arrabiata and my husband got the meatballs and linguine. Both were delicious and we had plenty for leftovers the next day. Enjoyed our meal, prices were reasonable and will definitely be back. read more

Wife and I were on vacation in Hilton Head and searched Yelp for restaurants. This popped up. We pointed the GPS at it. Drove up on it and thought we had it wrong. It's in the end of a small strip mall, very mom and pop. Smaller place. Seemed like possibly local type place. The food was awesome, the service was phenomenal. The pasta was freshly made. The muscles we had were fresh and perfect. Great meal. Highly recommend. read more

Such a great spot!!!! The food was so yummy!! I would come back here in a heartbeat. The bread was so delicious to start, homemade and warm! The burrata is a must order. The pasta dishes were huge and homemade. The service was incredible and the place was busy, you can tell why! read more

Cozy restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. They've done a nice job enclosing the outside seating so you don't feel like you are sitting in a parking lot. We sat in the bar area which is a cozy spot in the rear of the restaurant. Reservations are recommended. The bread was crusty perfection. I had the eggplant. You can choose your preferred preparation like Marsala , piccata, parmigiana, etc. I had the Parmesan preparation, which was excellent. The eggplant was served over pasta and a rich tomato sauce. The portion was huge so I took it home and had it for three meals. I look forward to returning. read more

Pomodori - Eggplant - Italian Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Favorite place on the island for quality Italian! Always fantastic service with good recommendations and attention to detail. My go to is the gnocchi but I branched out with the eggplant Milanese (multiple preparations to choose with each base option) that had a great lemon flavor on the linguine and crunch on the eggplant. The tiramisu is another favorite with its more mousse-like take on the classic! Indoor, cozy seating is great for a rainy night. read more

Pomodori - Zappa di pesce con arrabiata - Italian Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

100 percent health rating. Unassuming place with a cozy charm. I believe most everything is made in house. They only serve beer and wine but it pairs perfectly with pasta. The head it super delicious. I had the gnocchi and yummmm. I had a bite of the tortellini with Gorgonzola cream sauce. So delicious. If I lived here I'd be there a minimum of twice monthly. read more

Pomodori was excellent and our favorite meal so far on the island. We showed up early without reservations and they were able to squeeze us in. We enjoyed a Caesar salad with anchovies - so good! I LOVE white anchovies - very pleased! Hubby and I weren't very hungry so opted for appetizers - fried anchovies with a lemon aioli, arancini with smoked mozzarella and risotto served with a tomato sauce and basil, and two meatballs. All of it was fresh and absolutely delicious! Tables are close together, but we still felt like we had a nice, quiet and private meal. We would rerun tomorrow if there were open reservations. We are looking forward to a return visit with early reservations! read more

Overall food was quite good. Chicken Parmesan was crispy and very tasty. Decided to get the squash instead of linguine and that wasn't my favorite. Fettuccine Alfredo was very cheesy, Scallop/Pasta dish was a winner. Spaghetti and meatballs were nothing to write home about. Arancini balls are large, crispy and cheesy. All portions were quite large which reflected the prices. Would have probably liked a 1/2 order of some of the dishes (didn't ask). Service was pleasant and attentive. Location is a bit awkward in the corner of the building. Small but good setup inside and outdoor addition with seating which was nice but not much of a view. read more

Pomodori - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Fantastic food and service. Pasta is all fresh and the dishes are very well prepared, and super fast. The ravioli was delicious and simple, but the sauce (with sausage) was really the star. You can sub-out the pasta for spaghetti squash. We thought it would be on just...spaghetti squash. No... it was a half of a cooked spaghetti squash! Pleasantly surprised. Restaurant is casual, but very classy. A little noisy but nothing crazy. It feels like a family environment, but I wouldn't bring small children. One BIG note: you have to make a reservation. We were a walk-in and just got lucky. They're turning people away non-stop! read more

Fantastic service and meal. We look forward to going again the next time we are in town!

This is an exceptional Italian restaurant with wonderful dishes and attentive service in a charming, warm setting. Exceptional is rarified for my Italian reviews. I've been lucky to live in the NY area and Boston, and recently Milan. Ok, that sounds obnoxious but helps me make a point. This Hilton Head restaurant is the real deal! We started simply with a nice super Tuscan priced well, incredible warm bread, a nice blend of olives that were anything but normal and a bottle of Peligrino. Service was attentive and timely. For dinner my wife had shrimp Marsala with a sauce that was rich and not sweet with their amazing house made pasta. I had the piccata with the fish of the day that was flounder. It had a very generous piece of fish with a balanced piccata sauce with the right mix lemon, capers, and garlic. It was simply excellent. For dessert, we had ricotta pie with dark cherries. Great way to cap an excellent experience overall. My only critical feedback - there was too much Parmesan on both our dishes before it hit the table. It made my piccata a little too heavy. Kindly let the guests add Parmesan to the dishes themselves. read more

Well , yet another "out of sight" Meal at HH due to this fine Italian/Sicilian cuisine! I can't tell you how important of an indicator bread is at determining how the rest of the meal will be. The bread here is the best you've had for sure. Of course this style of Italian bread. Crusty yet tender and freshly baked. I ordered the Arancini balls, which were made with smoked mozzarella. Tender and full of flavor. I order the flounder Francese' and added some capers. Man oh man was it good. The fish is lightly battered and sautéed, not fried or oily. Then they set it atop the pasta ( comes with linguini, but I got the angel hair) with sun-dried tomatoes and some spinach. One of the best pasta dishes you'll ever have. My wife had the eggplant parm. Lightly battered and tender. Their sauce makes it as well. I wish this restaurant could be located at a better place near the water for better ambiance, but it's hard enough to make a restaurant work without a high mortgage or rent. I cook and learned from Italian mom and grandma and let me tell you this is great food! The service was very good as always and the price point for this food is spot on! read more

My wife and I found this restaurant on yelp, and could not have been happier that we did. We knew we would be sitting at a bar like table as we didn't have reservations, but the lure of hand made pasta had us hooked. The hostess was extremely kind, welcoming, and warm. We sat at the bar top right next to the hostess stand, but it wasn't a bother and because of the small venue it didn't feel like people were constantly behind us. The pasta lived up to the hype. Phenomenal. 10 out of 10. My wife had the pasta alla vodka and I had the salmon with lemon white wine sauce. Every bite was delicious and we will most definitely return when we come back to Hilton Head next. Don't think about it, make the reservation now. If it's too close to the time you are hungry and you don't like sitting at a bar top, get over it because the food is worth it. read more

The restaurant was very small (definitely call ahead if you have a large group). The wait staff was VERY efficient. Tables had good turn around time. They are beer and wine only but have a good selection. The main dish was very good, but the gnocchi was pretty soft and it could have used a few more minutes to be a little more firm so it wasn't all mushy but still very good. The cannolis on the other hand were not good, not very flavorful and odd texture. Overall delicious just skip dessert. read more

Upon entering what is considered to be a strip plaza we found this place easy to find and accessible, when we entered the lovely hostess was a fantastic start to a more of a modern ambiance. The service is top notch, we appreciate the fact that they worked with us. Even though we booked the reservation through Open Table, we thought that we could see if we can get a table a shade earlier. They offered us wine at the bar while we were waiting but we got confused to thinking we were eating at the bar. Then we sat at a table for two. Sam the server made a great impression in making sure we were handled properly transitioning to the table from the bar. Offered us bread with butter and water. We ordered calamari fruit at first which was crispy and hot but tasteless and bland. We moved on to ordering the entrees, my loved one ordered the Veal Piccata and I myself ordered the Chicken French. I found them both to be very very good. We capped the meal off with a Tiramisu and espresso and cappuccino. The highlight of the entire meal! I highly recommend this place. read more
