We have many favorite restaurants on HHI but our first visit to Pomodori has jumped it to top of the list! The food was exceptional -- excellent pork loin -- crisp and fresh salads -- and the best shrimp and pasta my husband has ever had (and that is his go-to dish in every restaurant). Portions were huge but we... More

Referred by a local waiter at another restaurant, Pomodori served us the best meal in 6 nights in HH. The roasted vegetable lasagne was terrific, as were the gnocchi, orchietta with broccolini & sausage, pasta bolognese and soft shell crab special. The wine list was extensive for a small local spot, the wait staff attentive and knowledgable. Amanda, the owner... More

We decided at the last minute to give Pomodori a try. We did not have a reservation but they were able to seat us at the bar. Our meals were wonderful. As good as any Italian we have had in NYC. The bar tender was very personable. From what we could hear from the nearby tables, the waiters were very... More

Food was good and not overly pricey for HHI. Menu has ggod variety and overall service was good. Have had better Italian food over the years, but would go back again.

Loved everything about this place especially the food. I have not had a meal like this since I sat at my Italian aunts kitchen table where she served many of the things I had for dinner. The fried peppers with olive oil, the stuffed yellow pepper stuffed with house made sausage(worth twice the price) pasta (also made in house). Chef... More

Pomodori is getting lots of attention as the latest, new Italian eatery on HHI, but we had dinner there last night and aren't so sure what all the excitement's about. A yellow pepper appetizer stuffed with perhaps a cup of really good sausage was $10.00. On the other hand, a good-sized draft of Peroni was a cool $3.00. Three decent... More

Excellent service! Respectable moderately priced wine wist. Good salads. Excellent veal limone with pasta and a somewhat overpriced pasta with sausage. The negative for this restaurant is that it has zero atmosphere with two small rooms and painted cement floors. Definitely not a quaint little Italian bistro but pleasant food.

Based upon other TripAdvisor's reviews, I had dinner at Pomodori's last evening. I sat at the bar (I had no reservation) and ordered a Virgin Mary (oops, no liquor licence - just wine). OK by me. Veal Parm was a special and the perfect opportunity to try it. Absolutely the BEST veal I have had in the South since moving... More

My wife and I made same day reservations. Only seats were at the bar. We were not so keen on that. Wow, were we wrong. Great food from appetizer to entree to dessert and even greater service from the bartender/server. The young owner (so cute and pleasant) brought out each course. I had ordered a nice Rosso, which they were... More

Well, it is odd that half of the top 15 Restaurants on HH are Italian and guess what, they are all "tucked away"....... A very good sign. As a 40 yr local, was curious about Pomodori as the reviews were strong........... Met a friend from childhood and his wife who are pretty much "world travelers" and they/we agreed it was... More
