Pomodoro Italian Restaurant & Bar

"We had a lemon chicken special for lunch last weekend and it was AMAZING! Literally came home and searched for a recipe to make a similar dish (no such luck). My friend with me has a shellfish allergy and we didn’t realize shrimp was part of the special. The waitress promptly took the plate back and had the chef remake the dish. She was so nice and efficient through the entire experience! Highly recommend stopping by when you’re in proctor."

"So, I'm not sure where to begin. I'll say up front that our server was very sweet and very attentive, so this review does not reflect that. Our drink (the Italian Mule) was delicious! Everything after that was... a disaster. We ordered the calamari for our appetizer and it was the driest, crumbiest calamari, I've ever had. You couldn't even call it rubbery-overcooked. It was like calamari chips. (It also came with what looks like a full serving of fried spaghetti -- really weird. After, we ordered two kid meals and two adult meals. The adult meals came with a soup or salad. I won't speak for my spouses soup, but my caesar salad was warm-ish lettuce with grocery store dressing and parmesan. I ALWAYS finish a salad, and I couldn't eat half of it. When our mains came, our daughter's spaghetti and red sauce was fine. My son ordered kids chicken nuggets and fries. What came out was nuggets, those smiley potato things and 5 huge pieces of absolutely raw broccoli. And listen, if they had said "Chicken nuggets and smiley potatoes," no harm no foul. But it definitely wasn't what we thought it was. (Also, raw broccoli on a kids plate?) I ordered the "Carbonara." I knew it wasn't exactly carbonara from the description -- garlic cream sauce topped with gorgonzola. BUT, I like garlic cream sauce and gorgonzola, so I ordered it based on the description. What I got was a barely seasoned, hardly edible plate of cream-ish pasta and a few bites of chicken. We live in Proctor, and have heard nothing but great things about this place. We tried to come for dinner once mid-week and were turned away because we didn't have a reservation. This place is resting on its regular's laurels and it shows. Which is SUCH a shame because it's in a perfect spot, in a great little area of Tacoma."

"This is a cute little Italian restaurant. The service was sincere and sweet. The food coming in gigantic portions which threw me off and I forgot to take a pic but let's just say I had leftovers and not because it didn't taste good (the pic I posted is of a clam appetizer dish we got-- soooo yummy!) Amazing experience here! If you're in the Tacoma area please try them out you won't regret it!"

"Overall, our experience was good. The food was good. The bread was cold, which we thought was a little strange. Service was friendly. There are parking stalls behind the restaurant if you need to find parking. The top two dishes enjoyed by our family were the pork chop and prawn pasta. We would come here again."
