After a long Sunday at the Boston Seafood Show, and only ready around 8;00pm, we wanted some Italian and headed to North Boston and Hanover Street where dozens of Italian restaurants are located. It's THE place in Beantwon for great Italian food!
The resto we wanted to visit had 25 people out on the street waiting for a table...and the wait was over an hour!
We casually walked down the street to an unassuming little place and walked in. It was full and the server told us it was a 45 minute wait. She suggested we go to a third resto down the street to have a drink while we waited...yikes!
We ordered glasses of red and enjoyed the crowds and the great smells coming from the kitchen of this rather large, half-empty place...
We returned to Pomodoro and the server gave us 2 glasses of the same exact great wine we were drinking elsewhere. As we sat down in this small, 30-seat resto, she brought over 2 tiny menus and a heaping plate of lightly fried Calamari done exquisitely...and we hadn't even ordered yet! Crazy‼
We ordered a bottle of wine and she brought over 2 Beautiful salads...we still hadn't ordered...
She returned to chat with us and suggested a couple of dinners and we munched on a deep dish of warm breads in olive oil with a dozen olives to boot! Wow!
Dinner arrived and what a treat! Salmon pesto and tomato--just delicious! Everything was superbe and as the resto emptied out, our server, Shavonne, chatted with us some more. We found out she was actually the owner and there were 3-4 guys in the kitchen and she had been there decades!
What a wonderful, delicious evening!
I have been coming to Pomodoro for about 19 years and it is still one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to! Last night I had the veal scallopine with green olive risotto! Amazing! We had to wait for our table a bit and the hostess/waitress brought a plate of fried calamari to us to share as we waited! The on the house dessert of tirisamu was wonderful as well....will keep coming back!
Some of the best food in Boston. It was recommended to us by a local and it did not disappoint. Make sure to get reservations ahead of time though. They restaurant is very small and often they have to turn away walk-ins. They are also cash only. Even so, my wife and I will make sure to stop here every time we are in town. The complimentary tiramisu to end the meal is a great treat!
A very cozy and sweet restaurant. I ordered the seafood soup which comes with simple seafood options but very tasteful. We love the white wine. The salad and dessert are generous and complimentary. On top of the good food, the staff is very friendly. The only down side is only cash is accepted.
TL;DR If you are looking for a quaint Italian restaurant with amazing service, great quality food, and tiramisu, this is your go to place.
It can be difficult to find a great place to eat with the amount of restaurants in the North End, but please add this to your list.
You won't be able to find a sign with a name, making it feel like a hidden gem. As soon as you walk in, you are in the intimately sized dining room. We made reservations ahead of time to ensure seating for five. Since the location is on the smaller side, I would not recommend going with a large group unless you call ahead.
We were immediately served water with warm rolls and olives in olive oil. Then we were served calamari, which were crusted and fried perfectly. I ordered the Wild Mushroom Ragu and it was creamy, unctuous goodness. You can tell the pasta was freshly made as well. To end the meal, we had tiramisu and it was perfect. Thank you for the amazing meal, I will be back.
Excellent Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is wonderfuly cozy and service was very friendly. The menu is small but with a great choice of amazing Italian food with a Bostonian seafood touch. Space is very limited, so a reservation could be essential.
Amazing food, wine & service. Didn't love our seating which was a little uncomfortable. Place is tiny & no sign with the name so hard to find. Everything was excellent except for the comfort
The staff were helpful and they were very knowledgeable. Quick service once I got thru the line. The food was super tasty I got the deconstructed caprese salad... called something else, but that's what it basically was and squash ravioli, and it hit the spot.
I'm shocked to announce when I reheated it for a midnight snack it was just as good! I would definitely recommend this place to friends, family and strangers ;)
Such an amazing restaurant. So many to pick in the North end but this one take the cannoli! The best customer service. We had to wait so we got free wine and apps while we waited! Once the food came we were in heaven! Everything we ordered was delicious! Highly recommend this place. If you're looking for a great night in the North end you have to come here!
Wonderful and absolutely delicious Italian food. Make reservation in advance. There is no line Infront of this place and don't get fooled by the lines in front of other fake places, like the one next door to here!
First time in Boston and I Loved this place...the tiger shrimp pasta was amazing! Staff was very helpful, not a wine drinker but waitress hit the spot with a delicious red wine that paired perfect with our meal! We had reservations so no wait time. Highly recommended!
My new favorite Italian restaurant in Boston! It's a small but very comfortable restaurant. We received some plates as courtesy of the house that made the experience at the restaurant great! My party ordered mushrooms ragu, tiger shrimp linguini, seafood a la diavola, and a green salad; every plate made us very happy. It's more pricey than its neighbors restaurants but the plates are big and considering the courtesies of the house the value of money is great! A must in the North End!
