Always a staple and unbelievable portions. We usually do take out and it never disappoints. Online ordering is easy, accurate estimated pick up, and great meal. The eggplant and pink sauce is really good. read more

Pomodoro Pizzeria - Eggplant Sorrentino - Italian Near Me - Bristol, Rhode Island

The food was great. We waited 20 minutes to be seated after our reservation time. Then our food took a very long time. We didn't mind waiting. But when it came time to order dessert they told us they were completely out of all desserts. That was unfortunate because we were celebrating a birthday. I told them it was a birthday and we would be happy with a scoop of ice cream. They told me they had absolutely nothing to celebrate the birthday with. Incredibly disappointing. My guess is they took forever and now it was late and then wanted to go home. Because seriously who doesn't at least have a scoop of ice cream. Had they seated us on time, then served us on time it wouldn't have been so late. read more

Pomodoro Pizzeria - Arancini - Italian Near Me - Bristol, Rhode Island

This place is awful. There food may be good, but its not worth all the hassle. Ypu need to make reservations far in advance, which is fine, but when making a to-go order there is misinformation. First you have to do it online. Then the website states it will take 1 hrs and 45 min after you order and pay! You cannot cancel once its made, so I immediately called. Then I had to call four times to get someone to answer the phone. Then the girl on the phone said its almost done and will be ready in 10 minutes. I show up 20 minutes later and its not done. She was quite rude and obstinate. There are plenty of other place with good Italian food RI. Go to those! read more

What a great place ! We eat there fairly Often so I don't know why I didn't do a review. They have Delcious food with a huge menu. Anyone can find something they will Enjoy eating. I love the pizza. It's cooked well with a ton of cheese and toppings. The staff are all very kind and helpful. The parking lot is huge so you will never have an issue. The inside is very welcoming , it's a great place for a family dinner , a date , or a takeout lunch. Highly recommend. ! read more

This was one of oir favorite spots for Italian food in the Bristol area. Be warned though, they no longer serve pizza.

The clams casino were delicious. My veal dinner with fresh tomato and arugula was bland, tasteless and the veal was tough to cut. My husband's dinner was wonderful - stuffed veal. I would not run back to this restaurant. I'm glad we tried it. It was our first time there. Doubt I would go back read more

Lasagna is one of my favorite entrees! I loved the addition of additional heated seating and the service was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu . read more

Hello from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park.. I do Vlogs on YouTube TikTok IG Facebook, The Garlinburg Hussey..I'm originally from Portsmouth RI and I swung by to get a pie called the big daddy and it was so good!! I highly recommend going here read more

Always delayed. Extra ingredients on calzones are minimal. I've tried it several times. Something needs to happen with the system. The first time my food was sitting getting cold after I gave my name and was waiting, the second time the ready time was again delayed three times actually. I give up. read more

Pomodoro Pizzeria - Barbecue chicken pizza with blue cheese. I asked for it extra done, but instead of it being crispy it's as hard as a cracker. - Italian Near Me - Bristol, Rhode Island

Love this spot in Bristol. It's very small and reservations via OpenTable are the only real way to get in during prime times. Food has been consistently outstanding on numerosos occasions. Outdoor patio with enclosure has greatly increased availability. Very cozy and charming spot suitable for date night as well as family dinning. Pastas were amazing. Last nights Tuscan Shrimp pasta in white wine sauce as well as a special spicy marinara with shrimp over linguini was great. Our son went with his favorite ravioli! Well worth the wait and making reservations in Bristol for Italian. read more

I love this place and their BYOB policy. Nothing goes better together than a hefty bottle of wine and a warm pasta dish. Had the penne vodka with chicken and it was delicious. Creamy, flavorful and came in a large portion. Had enough for left overs the next day. Their little patio area is so cute and the service has been great. read more

One of my absolute favorite spots in Bristol. Delicious Italian for reasonable pricing. Their garlic bread and fried mozzarella is delicious, and their pasta is great. It's a small little place so make sure you get a reservation. Staff is always kind. It's a great date night or girls night spot! Wish they were open for longer and all week! read more

Their website's menu and times of operations is totally wrong. I waited over an hour for them to open, only to find out that their sandwich menu had been discontinued at this location. read more

We heard about this Italian pizza place and restaurant from our friends Paul and MaryAnn, so we met them for dinner. They take reservations and we got a table outside under the canopy. Christina was our waitress and she was friendly and very efficient. We got thee things and all of them were excellent. The arancini balls, the garlic bread and the calzone (off the menu now, but they made an exception). The flavors were really fresh and bold....it's BYOB A place we would return next time we are in the Bristol area. read more

Pomodoro is amazing. It really is. I live 3 miles away over the Mt. Hope Bridge but it is the little BYOB Italian place that I have WANTED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD MY ENTIRE LIFE. Service is great, as is the food and the place itself. I'm at Pomodoro right now eating the veal sorrentiino. So so good! read more

Service was terrific. We sat on the outdoor patio in January. Don't get me wrong, it's heated BUT everytime the door opened, it was a bit chilly. We ordered the calamari that was just a tad overcooked but edible. Delicious toppings! I had the Italian feast and it included chicken parm, eggplant parm, a meatball and penne over red sauce. Everything was amazing, the sauce exquisite. Husband had the scrod Florentine which was wonderful. read more

There was a time when I wanted to go out for Italian food, only Pomodoro's would do, Now, my last 2 visits were terrible, my wife had Lasagne that was so dry, it needed sauce, especially on the bottom, but more overall, and I had Veal Marsala, which is normally exceptional, now the sauce in my plate looked like brown water, with no taste at all, what happened to the Marsala, mashed potatoes were runny, sent it back, left hungry again! What I came to realize is I usually go on Weds. or Thurs. and I came to find out that Mark the Owner, and fantastic cook, doesn't usually work on those days! Well however is cooking the meals we had, needs some training, cause it was pathetic! I guess the attention is all put towards weekend buss. Cause it never was the case, Wow how times have changed! I haven't been back in months, when I visited a few times a month, now I don't want to go thru that experience again, and I'm not Happy, cause this Was my FAV, ITALIAN Rest. Out there, now I opt for somewhere else, I hope going forward that things change, but I guess you just have to go when Mark is there, but I don't like the Rush and and crowds the weekend brings, I rather cook for myself and my wife at home! So I sincerely hope they can prosper and continue to serve the Great Italian food I remember, All the Best POMODORO's read more

Clearly one of our favorites! Cozy; great staff. Food is always outstanding and you usually are taking leftovers home.

Pomodoro's stopped making pizza on Wood Street. The "replacement" of Pio's pizza is awful. How to mess up such a wonderful restaurant. Not going back unless or until they bring - Pizza back. Plenty of other places to go.. First to last.. too bad.. read more

Food was excellent - as always. The meatball appetizer is a must get. You can't go wrong with the veal parmesan . read more

They have some of the best Italian I've had anywhere. Pizza believe it or not is not the speciality. The bolognese and Alfredo sauce with any pasta is much better. I had the pizza when it first became offered so maybe it improved since then. Very small interior and small outdoor seating. Gets packed quickly so I recommend a reservation read more

Awful experience Made a reservation - one of those pretentious places that requires a credit card for the reservation. Heard great things so made an effort to arrive at the restaurant on time, walking 15 minutes in the pouring rain. Walked to the hostess stand (soaking wet) and was informed by the hostess that sorry but they just cancelled my reservation because the area in which I reserved was no longer available. So "sorry" is all you have for me, I asked. Yes, just sorry she responded. Couple immediately ahead of me was seated. Not sure what kind of profiling is being applied. This place is full of itself. Sorry, but skip it. read more

Pomodoro serves the finest Italia cuisine in the East Bay region of Rhode Island. It's also better than many restaurants on Federal Hill.

Great little cozy Italian spot nestled in Bristol in a quiet neighborhood. BYOB place. Limited seating, def need to make reservations in advance. For food, we got the Caesar salad, Pomodoro pizza, chicken piccata and a pasta dish with sausage and broccolini rabe. Loved everything, everything came out pretty quick. Caesar salad was very good and had minimal dressing. The sauce on the pizza had a slight sweetness to it which was interesting. Piccata was amazing, loved the sauce. Pasta was very good too though bit salty, would love to try another pasta dish with red sauce. Overall, very good experience. Would def recommend trying this spot if you're in Bristol. read more

Ordered take out from here and was very impressed! My husband got the vodka sauce with gnocchi and I got the chicken parm. Both dishes were fantastic and big portions. The vodka sauce was one of the best we've ever had. The chicken parm was enormous and tasty, plenty for left overs. Can't wait to order again in the future! Highly recommend. read more

The food was absolutely spectacular. The salads were enormous. The chicken marsala was unbelievable. Two people in our part had the special of the evening. The food was amazing.!! One very critical problem was the fact that it was so hot on one of the hottest days of the summer so far that we couldn't really enjoy our time at the restaurant for long. Strongly suggest that you add another air-conditioning unit for better dining experience. read more

Veal parmigiana was delicious. I have a love affair with Pomodoro sauce. They should bottle it & sell. read more

First off the service is friendly, organized and accommodating! The food is incredibly delicious! They do offer a small area fir outside seating which is great for those who are tired of being cooped up and still not unite there eating In Close areas. However this is a small restaurant so with that said delivery and take out is available. So they pretty much cover all areas so you can enjoy the Italian fare offered . I'm definitely a frequent guest. You won't be disappointed! read more

So first off, I don't know how I have never reviewed Pomodoro before, as we have been coming here for years. They are byob, but with limited seating, it is far easier to just get takeout and enjoy a meal somewhere by the water. They call themselves a pizzeria; however I have never even thought of trying their pizza (even though I hear it is very good) with so many delicious Italian dishes on the menu. Our favorite is probably their chicken parm. Their "gravy" is homemade and beyond delicious! Their portions are very generous as well and they are extremely affordable! This trip I tried the veal parm, to compare with the chicken. It comes with pene pasta and their house gravy. I did enjoy it, and it had absolutely no faults, but the fork tender chicken was the winner of the two (eggplant is awesome as well). We love Bristol and love the food scene in this area. Pomodoro has always been one of our favorites and always will be! read more

Why haven't I come here sooner!! I had been wanting to try this place for some time - we ended up ordering takeout last week and I was completely impressed! Nestled in a residential neighborhood in Bristol - it's a small but quaint spot. From what I know, reservations are very necessary. Took me about 5 times to get through to ordering via phone but finally got through. You can order online, however there's no option on the online ordering site for special requests. When I did get through, service was very friendly and accommodating. Order was ready in the 30 mins I was promised and they even call or text you when it's ready! We ordered the chicken parm, veal parm with pink sauce (requested to make it spicy) and a large pomodoro pizza. Everything was delicious! Prob some of better Italian I've had and the pink vodka sauce is among one of the best I've had. Now let's talk about the pizza - the crust is something else! It's as if Detroit style, NY style and RI party pizza had a baby and this is what came out of it. I'm probably completely wrong but that's what was going through my head as I was eating it lol. It had the crust of my favorite party pizza and sauce with a delicious marina. You have to just try it! Can't wait to go back!! read more

food is amazing. some of the best ever. however the service is not. our meals all came out at different times and as one of the girls was taking plates off the table she dropped it and glass and food went everywhere all over us. instead of comping a meal they gave us free desert which was nice but not what we needed. read more

Did takeout. They forgot one of the entrees and I had to go back for it, otherwise it would have been 5 stars for the food.

Yes.. this place lives up to the hype. Make a reservation! Order a small RI pizza for your app Enjoy read more

Pomodoro pizzeria is by far my favorite Italian restaurant, and easily the best Italian food I've eaten except for in Italy itself. We have eaten here maybe 25 times(!) over the course of a couple of years. Pomodoro is practically as big of a staple in Bristol as the parade is. We realized during pandemic that from Pomodoro, we now tend to prefer takeout as the restaurant was always so crowded, very hot, EXTREMELY noisy before. The food kind of made up for all of that but it was literally exhausting to not be able to hear yourself talk sometimes. It was always difficult to hear the server too. You could sometimes sit shoulder to shoulder to others with the tables so close together. We did do outdoor dining once which was awesome because there was no noise. Their Bolognese is incomparable to anything I've ever eaten before. Rich, creamy, decadent, it just screams comfort food. The portions here at Pomodoro are very generous and prices are reasonable for the quality. The service has always been great. Pomodoro previously did not take reservations but started doing this within the last year or so, which is MUCH better than the old format of needing to put yourself on a wait list and then waiting 30-60 mins for a table to open. The only barrier to us ordering from here more often is that when getting takeout we need to dial (no joke or exaggeration) literally at least 50 times to get through, otherwise you get a busy signal. It has sometimes deterred us from ordering since on a Friday or Saturday night it can take a good 20-30 minutes to get through just to place an order. But well worth it. It's clear Pomorodo is enjoying huge success and demand for their food, and I always wonder what it would be like if they expanded to a bigger place or opened a second location. read more

I am reaffirming my previous rating and review of this excellent tiny joint in Bristol. Today, we stopped in for lunch for some Cesar salad and Parma sandwich. That's all we had but simple and freshly made salads and sandwiches always trump complicated dishes for me. When you see the menu, there are no complicated dishes. These folks know how to make the simple, yet classic dishes by using the freshest ingredients. I never get bored with their dishes because anything that is prepared fresh, honoring the ingredients, pleases my palate. Simple is often the best way to prepare and serve the food. In the summer time, they turn their little driveway into a cozy al fresco dining area. I advise you to call ahead and make reservation for the evenings because the seating capacity is limited. read more
