Our server was very attentive and quick, and we enjoyed the food. We sat outside and appreciated the patio dining. The portions were reasonably sized and everything was flavorful. We especially enjoyed the saganaki and Brussels sprouts. A very nice variety of Italian and Greek dishes was on the menu, and it seems you can’t go wrong with either!
Food here was great! The waiter, Im sorry I cant remember his name, but was outstanding! Extremely high energy and great with making sure everything I ordered to eat was vegan suitable. One of the best waiters Ive had in a long while. Food was great, got the beet salad and eggplant fries!..Instagram @Neverland.panda78
SNAPSHOT = Great take on a Mediterranean Cafe - see details below...We have enjoyed Pomodoros two locations for many years now. Pasta is quite good (coming from an Italian who is picky about Italian restaurants in Los Angeles and NYC).Balance to the menu is very nice and a smart wine selection makes variety in pairings abound.We just tried the brunch for the first time ever on Sunday 10.27.19. Great variety for brunch.Enjoy lunch, dinner or brunch!
Had no idea what to expect but when we saw it we felt in the mood for Greek Italian. There’s a good mix of food choices on the menu and an extensive wine and alcohol list. We went with the Mousaka and Filet Nostimon dishes and for wine we went with the Spellbound Cabernet and Incognito Red Blend. It was all delicious! The atmosphere was nice and well distanced per pandemic precautions. The service was very friendly. We were more than satisfied with every part of this experience and would be happy to come back when we’re in the area. Highly recommend.
I dont typically eat at chain restaurants, for folks that do, this food might be acceptable or considered good. I was terribly disappointed, and had to throw most of this food away because it was so awful. It tasted like canned pasta with a bunch of chemicals thrown in, and the chicken was overcooked and tough. My daughter said, I think we are both going to be sick later. Never eat there again!
Sad to write this review. I ordered the spaghetti Bolognese and feta shrimp. First off... The 11.50 feta shrimp had 6 shrimps on a bed a lettuce with barely any feta on it. A complete overcharge. Flat out. The 15 dollar spaghetti had maybe half of the amount of sauce it should have had. It was really good, like the shrimp, but not enough, like the shrimp. Classic rip off, sorry but true . I went home and had to add my own bottled pasta sauce from Ingles . Not worth 33 bucks
Ordered delivery and shrimp was missing from the shrimp alfredo. Spoke with the manager who proceeded to tell me “sorry we are busy” and said I would have to take it up with the delivery company. I pointed out it wasn’t a problem with the delivery service and that I would at least like a genuine apology for the restaurant’s error, not an excuse for why it happened, and the manager hung up on me. I called back to ask why the manager hung up on me, and was told because I would not let her finish talking and that she was too busy for this. Of note, I had to interrupt her to even get that much out. Food was otherwise good, but we will never go back due to the abominable lack of service recovery.
So delicious! The pizza dough is fresh and so yummy! We got pizza and pasta. Everything was delivered quickly and it was hot and delicious. We had excellent customer service and Mary (I think that was her name) one of the managers stopped by and chatted with us and she so very kindly gifted our son mini Canolis for his birthday. All in all a very welcoming experience with the most amazing food. We would absolutely stop here again when we return to Asheville.
Nice restaurant with good food and good service. We went for brunch, the prices were reasonable and service was fast. Its a quiet place with a small menu. The Greek salad was great and the gyro was a 6 out of 10. I will likely visit again and try some different items. While we didnt have dessert the cannoli looks amazing.
This was a great fresh restaurant when we were kind of tired of typical traveling food. Huge, homemade menu that doesn’t disappoint w great service. Great for families or just a date.
Wonderful dinner. The owner came to our table to chat. Best sautéed spinach Ive ever tasted. A tiny bit too salty, but Ill ask for no salt next time. It really was fantastic. Classic good, fresh food.
The south Asheville location was a huge let down. I took my son there for his 13th birthday hoping for something fancier than we generally do. Ended up paying >$100 for a burned cheese app, a caesar salad that tasted like mayonnaise and lettuce, an entree they forgot to serve and a creme brulee that was not a creme brulee but something else; more of a raw dough substance topped with a dollop of creme and a cinnamon sprinkle. Very let down. And no, there were no apologies for the forgotten entree or for having to take the dessert to-go after a 20 minute wait. The hostess offered an excuse that they were busy. So.
Amazing Greek food! Drove a HR and a half to bring my girlfriend there for our 4 yr anniversary dinner! Going to bring our kids next!
Pomodoros has been great every time for for us, and today was even better than expected. BILLY S is the best server weve had there, and thats saying something. Gyro, salad, pizza, chicken pasta, tiramisu, cannoli were all generous sizes and most excellent. Great beers, though it is more of a wine place. Love this place.
Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! Dont leave without getting a canoli! My group voted it the best pizza we have ever had!
Of the options we have in the immediate area, Pomodoros South has quickly become our go to take out restaurant over the course of the past year. Ample portion sizes, reasonable price, homemade flavors, and always speedy service. Their cannolis have become a favorite household dessert!
Calamari a bit busy for me, but I liked my veal. Wifes filet was unexpectedly tough. Billy provided good service and bar tender was attentive.
Pomodoros is a Greek and Italian cafe. The food is seriously medicore....at least on the day we visited. We had lasagna and chicken alfredo. It was bland and uninspired. The salad was...meh. I could taste refrigerator on the lettuce... Unappetizing. There was one great point....I will give kudos to the staff. They were really good and very attentive. Very friendly and helpful. Just not my cup of tea for food.
What an amazing family owned restaurant!!! We absolutely love Bolognese. In our home town we have 1 restaurant that can make a really good Bolognese. We are very picky. This Bolognese at Pomodoros was unique and out of this world good. My wife had the Pailla, also incredible, and we shared. And what a wonderful family and staff. I cant recommend it enough.
Great food. Good service at reasonable prices
The menu looks good, but we are always disappointed. The lamb gyros were inedible. We have been there twice, won’t return.
Great atmosphere and amazing food! One of my favorites in south Asheville!
One of my preferred places to grab some food. convenient location, well organised, and awesome service. 5 stars!
Excellent food. We did curbside pickup. It worked great! The truffle ravioli was amazing!
Terrible. Had a grubhub pickup here and was told to wait at the bar. Status was ready for pickup but I was completely ignored by every single staff member. I was here 15+ minutes even though it was ready! It took up my time I make money. This was so rude and ridiculous.
Delicious food, wonderful and relaxing atmosphere, excellent service! We are new to the area and are so happy to have found this gem of a restaurant. Will definitely go back again.
Super great experience!The manager was good to honor an expired gift certificate and the food was very impressive.The moussaka was some of the best Ive ever had and the vegetarian wrap was innovative and loaded a tasty variety of ingredients.Absolutely delicious!
I ordered the Shrimp Alfredo without the broccoli for $17.50. I was hoping that for that price, I would get a decent amount of shrimp and maybe some garlic bread to go with the dish. I was beyond disappointed. I picked my order up to go so I could eat lunch at work, and when got back to my desk and opened the container the sauce was in the bottom of the container, it hadnt even been tossed. There were 4 pieces of shrimp (which I had to cut up so I could spread them out in the pasta a little for flavor) and no seasoning on the dish other then a few parsley flakes and some pepper. And no garlic bread or a side-salad (it would have cost me almost another $4 for the side Caesar). So, for $18.00 (once you factor in taxes), I basically got a bowl full of noodles with some Alfredo sauce on them. Ive had better shrimp Alfredo from a frozen Bertolli meal to be honest (and thats only about a third of the price of this). The only thing that made me go higher than 1 star is because the Alfredo sauce tastes good. Save your money and go somewhere else for your pasta dishes, or better yet buy a frozen Bertolli meal from the freezer section at the grocery store because this place is way over priced for what they give you.
We were pleasantly surprised by the flavor packed into our dishes! Can’t wait to enjoy again!
I absolutely love Pomodoros Cafe. Ever since I found them years ago by a billboard pointing the way to their Tunnel Road location, I have loved them. Their South Asheville location continues the same great tradition. Great vine selection and 1/2 Wednesdays is the best day of the week. Great Food with great wine with Great Friends -- What Could be Better. I must say today was very special. We had the absolute best server that has ever lived. Great personality, terrific food knowledge, and enjoyable. Oliver was fantastic and has a great view of life and his ambition and direction is on track. And on top of that he was able to meet all the requirements as a great host. What a wonderful experience. He is not even related and this was the first time I have seen him, so these comments are based on his service. All the staff is great, but Oliver is Terrific.
My wife and I hadnt been here since well before covid. Happy to say we had a wonderful dinner with great service. Looking forward to returning soon!
Food was good, service was decent. Didnt seem real busy, think covid killing the business. Would be a nice place to sit at the bar if it was allowed.
I often take my friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the food there is fantastic and the team is efficient and cooperative. Whenever we visit this place we pass a lovely time. I warmly recommend this restaurant.
It has been almost a year since we ate at Pomodoro’s. The last meal we had was somewhat disappointing. Tonight, we decided to try one more time to see if things had improved. The meal was absolutely the best I’ve ever had at Pomodoro’s. The filet nostimon was delicious. Thanks.
Great service, high quality food, great prices on wine and a nice atmosphere. We had a medly of Greek and Italian offerings and they delivered on both. Tiramisu was exceptional as well, as I feel the dessert is so basic at most places, and dull, but not here.
Ambiance is good, has a friendly staff. They have options for smaller meal portions which I find to be really great. Food is good. Their freshly baked bread is must try. They have lot of vegetarian options too.
Kirstin was our sever. First time. Amazing food. Omg so full. Apps were awesome. Went with the fritta. Wish I had 2 more to take home. But the food was sooo much I had plenty for 4th meal. Great job
Great atmosphere, delicious food, and great service. Samantha was very sweet and attentive. The salmon with risotto was a healthy portion with so much flavor. My husband said the lasagne was amazing and the tiramisu was refreshing and the perfect light level of sweet. Definitely would return!
Love the pizza here. Staff has always been great.
The food was amazing. Awesome pizza and delicious Pasta. Service was great!!
Dinner tonight was delicious & our server was top notch. My husband was looking for a quiet restaurant to have a dinner meeting with two employees and I didnt really think that was possible on a Friday night in Asheville. But we were pleasantly surprised.
Thought I’d try this location. It was not bad but I like East location better. Their terrace area has rust on the chairs. Not good if you have light colors on. I was wearing jeans so I was fine. They charge for bread.
Tiny portions for extremely high prices. The meatball sandwich did not taste homemade, the fries didnt taste fresh, and we only got a few raviolis. Very disappointing as money is tight right now and thought we would splurge on something special while supporting local restaurants. $26 for a few bites of food, not worth it.
Wait staff was very attentive as always. The menu is so full of excellent options, its hard to choose. Tonight the saganaki, calamari and lamb chops with risotto were incredible.
Great place to visit with friends over a meal. The food is very good, the ambience is excellent and the service is always outstanding! Try it, youll love it!
Great food, Greek and Italian. Excellent music on the sound system; its 50s, swing, big band, and jazz. Excellent location, easy in, easy out. Moderately priced.
Always great service, superb good food and great atmosphere. We have frequented Pomodoros for over 20 years.
The food is fabulous as always. Each dish was distinctive and delicious. Their gluten free options are plentiful and tasty. Service is quick, responsive, and friendly. I will definitely come again!
Cannot say a bad thing about this restaurant. Food was super but we had amazing service too. Lydia took care of us- keeping our drinks full and wants fulfilled. Definitely will be back!
Very dissappointing Brunch. Hadnt been here in a while. Ordered Southern breakfast. Compared to the past, portions were small, bacon was tough like leather, teaspoon of sausage gravy on biscuit (used to fill the plate), put my eggs on top of potatoes to try and heat them up. No taste to the gravy. Best part was Chris our server. Always there to refill drinks, but he didnt ask how the meal was because he probably knew it sucked. Manager never came around to inquire about meal and they used to. One was walking around but never stopped. Too expensive for quality and quantity received. Wont be back. Such a shame, it used to be great.
Nice place all around! They are there to help with everything from getting the right food off the menu. To making sure you enjoy your food! We love this place!
The food was good, but I was disappointed with the tiny portion size for the price, especially since sides like bread, soup, or salad aren’t included.
Great Italian restaurant tucked in a plaza. Food was well good and well portioned. Special shout out to their bread; such a small part of the meal but really helped in starting off a great meal. Crust was crisp but not hard while interior was perfectly fluffy.Had Jen as our server and cant honestly remember a better experience in Asheville
Disappointed after my dinner last night! Waiter was not professional in anyway. Took thirty minutes to get drinks in which were wrong, took another thirty minutes for him to come and ask what we wanted to eat. There were only a handful full of people eating so no reason he could not be attentive to our table. The food once served was wonderful as usual but the waiter ruined the evening. Hopefully they will train the wait staff better in the future.
Very good food. Was there with another couple, and we all tried something different.Everyone considered their choice quite tasty.Although it shares the name with Pomodoros on tunnel road, it is a different owner with much better food, in my opinion.Try their bread pudding for desert!
I took a detour while passing through Asheville to get a plate of Italian and stopped here based on reviews. Im glad I did. Generous portions of excellent food combined with excellent service make this tastefully appointed Greek and Italian restaurant a real winner!I base high quality on one question; Would you go back? You bet I would!
The food is delicious and our server Kyle was beyond helpful! We met Tommy the manager who was also friendly and helpful. We eat out a lot in New Jersey and would recommend this restaurant to all tourists!
The hostess needs to wear a uniform not pants hanging down and sloppy looking. Food way over priced and way over cooked my fish. Our waiter was really nice and gave very good service. The place could use a good cleaning. Wish I could get my money back. The food looked really good but tasted really bad.
Great Food!
Decent restaurant, food is fair, staff is slow. I think our waitresss name was Molasses. If you want real Greek food, Apollo Flame or Carabbas is much better.
Great place interesting menu and everything works well together. Staff was pleasant and efficient and were there to take care of all your needs. Highly recommend for those that want to experience real fine dining.
OK food, nice place, but otherwise pleasant atmosphere destroyed by screaming brats. Like eating in a day care center. Please, if you want to create a nice, upscale atmosphere, get rid of the highchairs and kids menu.
Great service and food. I got the eggplant parm. and it was fantastic. Clean and really nice environment.
The chicken/pasta dish I ordered was so yummy. The server was also so great to us. Will defiantly recommend and come back soon.
I ate here once. It was very crowded but service was good. The manager even came to our table to see how things were. The food was average but came fast. The atmosphere was nice. The only problem we had was they could not make a popular mixed drink i wanted. I actually love their greek/mahgerite pizza and order it to go very often.
There was virtually no wait time. Service was quick and accurate with a friendly attitude. Food was top notch. Very pleasantly surprised!
Very disappointed with my order. I ordered Penne a la vodka with grilled chicken and the chicken was rubbery and had a chemical taste. I then called to complain about the food and asked if there should have been bread and a side salad with the meal and was informed that would be an extra $3.50 which is disgusting. How much does it cost for lettuce and a slice of bread for a meal that cost 18.00 plus Take out Central charges? I Will not and cannot recommend this restaurant. The one star is for the delivery service.
Good food, service was quick (you order at a windows, they give you a number and they bring it to your table) we asked for extra sauce and they brought us a assortment. Good beer selections although they were regrettably out of the only local cider.
We came here on 10/13/2019 for dinner and the waitress wasn’t very good. She didn’t keep our drinks full and we had to continue to ask for refills and she ignored our son when he asked for a refill. The food tasted good but you get extremely small portions, the amount of food we all four got which was three adult pasta plates and one kids plate could all fit in one chef Boyardee SpaghettiOs can and it cost us $70 . And we all left hungry, we aren’t cheap and we don’t mind paying a lot of money for a good meal but we do expect to have nice size portions especially when we’re talking about noodles not a T-bone steak .They use to give you bread to dip in olive oil and herbs and now that costs an extra 1.50, which is fine but it says you get a loaf. They brought the bread out and it was three inches long . There was barley enough for by husband, our two sons and myself. So it’s not really a loaf it’s literally the size of half a banana. So we are now on our way to McDonald’s because we are still hungry. And no we aren’t fat
Best lasagna in town! The wait staff is also amazing Tiffany was our bartender this last time she was fabulous! Ive never had a bad experience.
Outstanding. Tommy, the owner, is always there helping and overseeing the flow. Great place to go and eat.
If I could give this zero stars, I would. I paid $11.50 for lamb platter...it had less meat than a $5 gyro sandwich from the take out place, and what little meat they gave me was drier than dirt!!!. The last time I was here I got a chicken sandwich that was over $10 and it was practically the size of a White Castle slider...I could see if the quality of the food was outstanding they could get away with such small portions, but the food isnt even that great. The roasted vegetable that came with the platter consisted of bell pepper, onion and sweet potato...the cheapest vegetable they can offer...and WHAT kind of GREEK dish comes with sweet potato???I will never eat here again.
One of my always go to restaurants for several years now. The food is good, the staff is very pleasant, and, wonder of wonders, you can have a conversation with your friends without shouting or feeling you have just survived another eating out experience... Love the food, the whole experience. Thank goodness they still exist!
Billy and taylr provided probably some of the best customer service I have ever received. The food was good, the atmosphere was good. Fantastic experience!
The food was good not great. Hardly any Greek options. Also was rushed by our waitress to get our order in and eventually leave even though there was no wait on a Friday night at 7 pm and half the restaurant wasnt even being used.
Great food, great service, reasonable prices
If you prefer avoiding the big chains and finding local gems like we do, this is worth the stop. Our server, Jeri was on the spot with good suggestions and timely table service. Food and bread was delivered in good order, drinks where refilled without ever interrupting conversations and the chocolate bread pudding topped it all off.
VERY small portions. You have to pay for bread which is also a small portion. Food lacked a robust flavor could be described as bland. Even with purchase of Groupon still had to pay a good amount. Good atmosphere and helpful staff.
Twenty of us from a local retirement community dined this evening and had gracious and professional service, excellent food and a thoroughlyEnjoyable night out. I was a bit nervous about going, as I had just read the recent negative reviews and older folk tend to be over picky in my opinion.However, allay your fears. All is well and delicious and solicitous.
Im very impressed with the atmosphere, friendliness and professionalism of the staff, and quality of the food. The music is great, also, and not too loud.
Theyre not bad. It has a chain/ Olive Garden-y sort of feel, but the food is pretty decent.
Nice atmoshere, attentive waiter, great food. Only weird thing was that 2 people in our group got the same thing and they didnt look alike. Both were good and tasted the same. We just thought it was odd.
Excellent!!!!!!!! I dont know what the person was talking about who said this place was not good but my girlfriend eat it quite a lot and I dont know if Ashville has a better restaurant. The food was amazing and there arent many places that can take that title. Prese so by and have dinner. You wont be disappointed.
My second time there and hopefully this will last. (Both times Pomodooros was chosen by other folks.)The service:The hostess asking waiting guests who arrived first. When have the restaurant is empty. Total class. Rushed service. Dont ask us if were ready when you deliver our waters. Those who ordered salads received them only moments before the main course arrived.The food:Overpriced. Poor value. Do you want to go to an Italian restaurant that leaves you hungry? This is your place. Entrees do not come with salad or bread. $1.50 for a small loaf. Not large enough for a party of 4. Salads are an additional $3.50 on top of your entree. Kids meals do not come with a beverage and are just a little less expensive than a meal - but a lot less food. I ordered lasagna ($15.50) it came out barely warm. I informed the server and it came back barely warm. The manager stated they were working out the kinks in a new process. Why serve food if youre not ready. Also, lasagna should be a pretty safe bet at an Italian place. Definitely felt like this thing came out of the freezer. Sure they took it off the bill and gave me one to go. No way Im putting that to go lasagna in my mouth. I know what kitchens do in these situations. Pizzas are subpar. Thin, unenjoyable crust. Greasy cheese tops.I could go on, but why? Go elsewhere.
Admittedly, I do not eat lunch or dinner here. I actually prefer Tunnel for grub. What I can say is that this joint has the best Tiramisu in Asheville. Better than the one served at the Tunnel Road location. This is house made, always the right mascarpone-to-ladyfinger ratio, and dusted to perfection. The slices are liberal and the cost is conservative. I make the trip from almost 20 miles away for this dessert. Its that good. I only wish they were open a tad later. 11pm on weekends is typical for most of the other restaurants in nearby Biltmore Park.
Really great 🍕 pizza and fine service.
Great food and great service.
New cook had difficulty with getting meat correct. Management did right by us. I would still recommended it
We had a work event and it was delicious and quiet. Service was excellent.
My first time to eat here and The Beet Salad was absolutely awesome and nice atmosphere. Excellent Wine List too..Really enjoyed it!!!
The pizza was to die for. Wonderful that the place isnt crowded. Seems like it not a part of the Asheville scene. It was great!
Great food and great service. A little pricey but nice for a treat.
Food is good. Service was good. Never got a coffee refill. Taramisu is great!
