we stopped by here for dinner last night and it was overall fantastic. the two young men serving were well-trained and excellent. the food was yummy, the wine was good. chicken parm was great and i loved the sauce on my gnocchi. the chocolate cannoli was AMAZING!!!!! it tasted like chocolate cheesecake, it was so rich! we will definitely be coming back for more. the menu is large and needs updating, they could probably cut it down by half and redesign/refresh it.

I love good Italian food. We had a fantastic dinner here yesterday; it checked all the boxes.
We came for the mussels. They were awesome. Everything else was just the icing on the cake.
All three of us loved our meals and can't wait to go back.
You should make reservations. It fills up quickly. We were able to make same day reservations, but probably would have missed out if we just had shown up.

First time trying this impressive from the outside but unfortunately lacking on the inside Italian restaurant. Excellent service and excellent food. But when I go out for dinner I want 3 things. Inviting ambience being one of them and unfortunately this place doesn't have it. Run down chairs and tables with white paper thrown on top, cheapest silverware you can have, decor that I can't even explain and just a lack of effort to draw you in for a nice dining experience.

A hidden gem here in South Ft Myers! The food, service and atmosphere consistently delivers! My family and I look forward to their food every time we are in the area. From their appetizers, pizza, pasta dishes right through to their desserts… always fresh and cooked to perfection! We also recently used them for catering a family gathering and we were equally pleased as were our guests. It is evident how dedicated Randy and Denise are to making your dining an exceptional experience!

As a family we came to Il Pomodoro Restaurant for the first time to celebrate a birthday and we were blown away with the phenomenal service from our server Mary and manager Randy. The food was amazing and I would absolutely be back to try more of the delicious dishes on the menu.
Thank you Mary and Randy! See you again soon. 😃🍷🍝🍰

It was really surprising. I had ordered a sausage sandwich and I was expecting the standard fare. Sausage and mushrooms a few peppers on a hoagie roll. That is not what I got. It was quite a generous portion I ended up having to take half of it home. I really like the atmosphere It's not a huge dining room so it's intimate I can't wait to go back with the wife.

Wife and I just had dinner and it was a wonderful experience. Everything from the drinks, to the desert was beyond our expectations. Wife was over the moon about Alfredo, and the tiramisu. This was the perfect place for a date night dinner.
Update 11/23/2022
Another wonderful meal. Love that I can take my wife out, it's a perfect place for a cozy evening.

I had been looking on google for an Authentic Italian place to try with a large group of my family. We are so happy that we found Il Pomodoro. From the great initial customer service experience ( Coming in without a reservation with a group of 10) and being seated quickly , to the AMAZING food, we had such a great experience. Everyone tried something different, and we were all amazed to find that each dish was just that much better. Everything was freshly made, and very authentic. Our server Kylie was fantastic with her kindness, great suggestions and attentiveness, she truly helped us have an amazing first experience here at Il Pomodoro. The owners Randy and Denise have created an amazing atmosphere for dining out with family or a date night. We will definitely be back. Five stars!!!

Everything they serve is excellent! Pasta Fagioli is like my mom's! The Chicken Piccata is one of my faves! If you want authentic Italian cuisine IL Pomodoro is for you!
Stacy Garcia
My goodness we had the most wonderful experience. We absolutely adored our waitress! We were a large party of 10 and they handled it so smoothly👏! The food was literally the best Italian I have EVER eaten!! 💗🍝🇮🇹We went around trying every dish each other got..it was superb! The garlic knots were a huge hit with our toddlers. We also tried literally the best Moscato I have tasted!! Wish we had taken pictures but honestly we just devoured everything that came to our table. Do yourself a favor and got the tiramisu dessert!!! The owner/ chef is a genius in the kitchen!! Cannot wait to be back! Thank you!!!

Food is so good!! Big portions and great prices!! I’m terrible with names, but our server was awesome, she’s there tuesdays and Thursdays, so you should definitely visit her. Our party had my wife and I, our 4 children, and my Grandmother. Waitress was patient and attentive and so friendly!! The meatballs are amazing as well!!
Heather proud-funk
A local who absolutely loves this place! Never dissatisfied, food, service and atmosphere are top notch. I am usually a creature of habit when I go to eat somewhere because I know I will like it, however here??!!!!! I try something new every time and am always excited to have leftovers (which heat up nicely). I bring friends in whenever they are in town. Love this place!!!!!
Ocean O'Dell
Absolutely amazing! My family and I went here for dinner. No wait. Super friendly staff and amazing food. I got the rigatoni bolognese which was incredible! Everyone at my table loved the food!
William Smith
This is a better Italian restaurant. Higher quality food and food preparation. Some may be out as they only seem to serve fresh.
Ed Balevic
Always excellent service friendly and upbeat.
Food is great and Always excellent. I recommend Pomodoro to everyone. It's the best Italian restaurant in Fort Myers.
Peter DeMeis
The food was very good, the service was very poor. They put us in the back and if it wasn’t for the other tables being set we would never had utensils to eat. It was almost like they forgot about us but the service staff was young.
Alex L. Flor
We had the lasagna and the spaghetti and meatballs and loved both.
Dinner portions are enormous so feel good that you will not leave hungry.
Had the chance, on previous occasions, to enjoy other dishes as well. Gnocchi and chicken Toscano are both tasty.
Well put together menu and the restaurant carries a nice ambiance.
Dinner rolls could use some work however, with the portion sizes, who really needs the bread?
Keep up the good work!

I ordered the chicken parmigiana. It was bland, and the sauce tasted canned.

LOVE this place! It's my new favorite restaurant. You definitely get what you pay for and it's absolutely delicious. And the service is great too.
Doreenmcdevitt
Favorite old standby!. As I live in the development right behind the restaurant Il Pomodora is always our go to for last minute plans and even pizza. I have probably eaten dinner there more than 15 times and ordered pizza as many too. I have never had a bad meal and service is always friendly and courteous and timely. Their dinner specials are really great especially blackened scallops. I have better seafood here than I do on Sanibel or at the Beach!<br/><br/>Summer time watch for coupons too!

I would not recommend this place. Slow service, waiter was more concerned with how he looked and what was happening in the room, then he was about our table and service. Food was mediocre at best.
Anike
Good I can recommend
Suzyfolkart
Just okay. Soup was cold. Entre was hot and delicious. Waiter was always in too big a rush.....handed us the bill before we were even asked about dessert and coffee. Only reason he got a tip was becuase we know what he works for per hour. Won't go back
Grace
This used to be my favorite place to go on special occasion! Last time on my bday, had a table of 12 people, made reservation for 8pm over the phone, I also brought my own cake, it was a week day, and they were slow at that night. We were there to have a great time and experience, instead, appetizers, salads were rush to the table, entree was not long after. They wanted to close at 9pm and we were out by 930ish. I was very upset, and never went back =(
JP
Awesome!. We had Chicken Sinatra and Strombolie - both awesome dishes. The leftovers were enough for two addtional meals for both of us. Great food, great service. The wine is fairly priced and served at the right temperature - which almost never happens in FL!! Highly recommend.

Best Pizza in Fort Myers. I'm from New York/ Jersey and the pizza just doesn't cut it here but this is good.

Avoid This Restaurant...U Been Warned!. Absolutely the worst service in Fort Myers. Have been there twice, we thought lightning - or a wine glass - wouldn't strike twice but it did. On the first trip it took at least 15 minutes to get a waitresses attention to serve us. Then the order took another 25 minutes to arrive. The food is just very mediocre, and rather bland if you know anything about real Italian food. The sauce tasted canned and the bread was stale This ownership group had previously owned a pizza parlor and now have graduated into a restaurant...They are now playing at owning a restaurant -it may be feasible in Fort Myers but no where else.<br/>The second trip that we made there had the same slow service response, but this time when the drinks finally came the waitress quickly dumped an entire carafe of wine in my lap. She didn't even apologize, she just went to get a cloth to have me wipe myself off.<br/>No manager came (I believe it is an extended family that runs this pasteria) and when we left and told the owner of my experience his response was..."well she didn't do it on purpose"...We were flabbergasted. NO CLASS AT ALL. Nothing. This restaurant also has the worst accoutics in any place short of a stadium I have ever eaten in. The ear splitting noise simply renders the dining experience to a backyard party with a lot of relatives you'd rather not be listening to. There are other much better choices in Fort Myers for this kind of third rate food. And by the way, the portions are not that overwhelming. We would never go back and we advise our friends to do the same. If you do go, wear wine proof clothing and brink lots of Tums.

Awesome NYC style pizza. Great sauce.
