Pomodori Osteria and Bar

"Update 2/24: This restaurant needs to hire enough chefs and servers to accommodate its increased popularity!!! We went on a Friday night before a show at the Craterian. Although the food was still very good, sadly our server was spread way too thin, so the service was not good. We waited an hour and a half to get our dinners. We had to scarf them down so we could get to our show. 11/23: You simply must try this restaurant! My husband and I are so happy to have discovered this restaurant! The food was so flavorful and perfectly prepared. Skyler, our server and bartender, is one of the best we have ever had… anywhere!"

"Let me start off by saying that I heard good things about this restaurant and I was excited to try it out for myself. That's where the excitement stopped. I made reservations for my girlfriend, daughter, and I for Valentine's Day. At $50 a plate I figured that that was reasonable and that the food would be delicious. The meal included a starter, which we chose the Lobster Stuffed Mushrooms, the entree was the Chicken Pasta Rossa Maria and Caesar Salad, my daughter ordered the macaroni and cheese, and for desserts I ordered the Chocolate Torte Amour. It also came with two glasses of wine and a Shirley Temple. The ambiance inside the restaurant is incredible and very beautiful and warming. This is the amazing part of the experience. Now for the bad. The wine and Shirley Temple came out almost immediately. The lobster stuff mushrooms were delivered in about 20 minutes and there were only three small mushrooms. I don't know how one could consider this a starter or an appetizer as it was severely lacking. It took another 45 minutes for our chicken entrees and mac and cheese to come out. The mac and cheese that my daughter ordered was actually quite delicious, however the chicken pasta entrees that I ordered were a huge disappointment. The chicken was virtually non-existent in the mountain of pasta that I was served. Additionally it looked as if the noodles weren't completely drained as their was quite a bit of liquid still in the bottom of the dish. Needless to say none of us finished our entrees as this was quite possibly the worst Italian food I have ever had. The chocolate tort amour was a very small thin slice of some chocolate concoction. It resembled partially baked brownie batter that contained an overabundance of cocoa, we didn't finish this either as yet again it was a huge disappointment. At the end of it all, almost 2 hours later, I received the bill for dinner which included charges for things that should have been included with the $50 a plate Valentine's Day special. Quite honestly during all of this I was tempted to get up and walk out but because I had heard good things about this restaurant I wanted to give them a chance. We would have been better off going to the Olive garden or something of the like. We would have had better service and without a doubt the meal would have been to our liking. I definitely am one to support local businesses but this experience was extremely frustrating and a huge disappointment."

"I've eaten here 3+ times, and each time the service was immaculate, the food delicious, the drinks refreshing. If you're expecting an authentic old country Italian experience in Medford Oregon you may need to readjust your expectations. Best Italian restaurant in the area, excluding Ashland. There is parking in the back, and you can make reservations online."

"I will start by saying we loved the food! I had tried to call to make a reservation a few times and left a message with my name and when we wanted reservations but did not get any response and did not have reservations when we arrived. However, it was 5:15 and they were not busy so we were seated immediately. We chose to sit up by the window which I slightly regret cause the sun eventually comes right in and you get pretty warm. We ordered lobster stuffed mushrooms, and bruschetta to start. You only get 4 mushrooms but they were pretty delicious. The bruschetta was great, not individually sliced pieces of cheese, just a big block of mozzarella but it worked out and presented well. We ordered two main dishes that we shared; the Veal Piccata and the Veal Scallopini. They were both very good but I enjoyed the Veal Scallopini the best. The mix of artichoke, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms and capers was very delightful and provided an array of flavors. The veal was cooked just right and was a decent portion for the dish. Pomodori is among the top restaurants that we have had in Medford and will likely go again."
