This place is the real deal for home made Italian dishes. The Antipasto salad was all fresh with a nice Italian vinaigrette. We got one gluten free cheese pizza my wife said it was the best GF pizza! I got Grandma's Sicilian pizza with anchovies, was incredible! ( ...take out) read more

Different Cheesesteak #1222. I was looking for a different place but glad I found Cafe Pomodoro. Nice clean place. Friendly people work here. They have adult beverages. I got the garlic bread cheesesteak. I asked if they would put Marinara on it. They did. It came with chips. $13. You know I love that. Good little stop. read more

The food used to be so good but it has really gone downhill. The shells were not cooked completely, the cheese was barely melted. The roll was stale. I will never order from there again! Salad was less than fresh. read more

Ordered the Napoli panini. It was prepared using the same rolls used as the dinner rolls. Not at all what I expected. it was not a real panini. The $11 price was ridiculous. read more

Pizza here is very good. However the cheese steak was not good at all and I was unable to eat it. I ordered the cheese steak with mayonnaise . There was no cheese on my cheese steak and then meat was very dry. There was only mayonnaise at the very tip end of the cheesesteak. The restaurant did not care that my order was wrong. Very disappointing since there is new owners and they're trying to get restarted again. For something like this, I don't expect my money back whatsoever. But I do expect an apology and if you're feeling so inclined you could give a coupon. They do not care if something's wrong. read more

Absolutely delicious Italian food! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff is so friendly, and makes the experience even better! Couldn't recommend more read more

Wow!! This place will amaze you. The soup is homemade and extremely well at that. Both Italian wedding or the chicken hit the spot. All pasta dishes are not only delicious they are priced perfectly. Portions are good size and the staff is beyond friendly. Oh, the cannoli!! Forget about it.. I ate them all. read more

We dine here often and the food is always great and the staff is friendly. However, I called tonight for takeout and was immediately put on hold once they answered the phone and I waited and waited and hung up. Called back and same thing. Third time I called and she said hold again, and I sat there waiting for 5 minutes and she never came back on the phone. This isn't good customer service. If you are busy I get it, but don't answer the phone and immediately say hold it's rude. Perhaps you are under staffed, but it's still no excuse for rudeness. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area that would love our business. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. Called after receiving our order and saw we were missing an entire meal. The owner couldn't care less. So then the meals we did get were awful. Undercooked pasta and container was filled with pasta water. So pasta wasn't drained. For the price we will never order or even eat there. read more

Excellent Italian food! My family gets takeout from here fairly often and they most recently catered my bridal shower a few weeks ago. Everyone loved the penne alla vodka (their sauce is insanely good) and chicken marsala. Their rolls are also delicious. I'd definitely recommend if you want authentic Italian food. The portions are also very large, especially their catering options. We had leftovers for days! read more

This was the Italian Stromboli that I ordered for takeout Oct. 8th. Emailed the photos to mgmt, hoping for a reason of barely any cheese and a pinch of ham. Still no explanation. I cut it in half and sliced open to prove how little meat and cheese were in it. Do not order the Italian Stromboli. read more

One of the best Italian restaurants in our area. Salvatore is a gem. Terrific chef and very attentive and social. The chicken park is a favorite. The staff works to make sure all in-house are well served. Sasha is incredible as a server b read more

Great food n lots of it. Best Italian in Pike Creek IMHO. Very reasonable n good service which is a hard combo to find these days too.

I think Cafe Pomodoro deserves more of a 3.5 star rating, but the food was fast and the waiter was so nice that I'd bump it up to 4/5. I think the food was good, but it was nothing special. Also, it wasn't hot like I wished it was and parts were a bit almost cold, I'd say. The salad was nothing special, but most Italian restaurants' starter salads are just basic salads. I can say it did taste fresh though, which is definitely a plus! The penne alla vodka is definitely recommended if you want to try Cafe Pomodoro... you can't go wrong with it! The restaurant itself was very clean and I loved the decor on the walls. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to try the pizza but it looked delicious! Overall, I would say nothing special but it does the job if you're hoping for an Italian meal! read more

Had no idea this place existed and have been in the area for years. Came across it months ago so I finally decided to give it a try. I really wanted to like this place because I'm tired of Valentina and Napoli. But I'm underwhelmed overall by the food. Looks great in there, when you walk in you're going to be expecting some good food, the decor is great. Got a slice of cheese and a cheesesteak. Starting with the pizza it was cooked nice and it had some nice crust, but overall the pizza was dry and lacked flavor. A little sweetness to the sauce would've made this a great slice. Then with the cheesesteak, it was cooked great. It was on a liscio's roll which is generally the best in this area. Some nice ribbons of steak, got it with fried onions. I asked for lettuce, didnt get any that's fine. But again, the cheesesteak didnt have flavor, the steak wasnt seasoned. There was more flavor in the ketchup then in the actual steak itself. I've even had tap water with more flavor then this cheesesteak. Not even like it was light seasoning, there just happened to be none. Overall dissapointing experience. If I come back, it will be for the Pasta so I'll need to try that sometime. read more

Great experience for lunch and dinner! This awesome little Italian restaurant/pizzeria is tucked away in the corner of the Shops at Limestone Hills. Tried a slice of pizza and the chicken soup. Pizza was NY style, which I love, and the soup was definitely homemade. The owner is from Sicily, so everything is the real deal. Lunch was so good, I went back for dinner the following night and tried the Zuppa Di Pesce. Super fresh seafood with a generous portion. I'd order it again in a minute. Just impressive all around. Cannoli was awesome too! Service was friendly and attentive, which has been difficult to find these days. This is a welcomed addition to Pike Creek, and I'll be stopping in whenever I'm in the area. read more

Favorite Italian casual restaurant in the Hockessin area. Delicious food, good variety of classics. Very friendly staff.

Ordered from here a dozen times. Weekly specials are great! Quality ingredients and awesome pizza. I order mine well done, otherwise i think the dough is a litte too chewy. My go to pizza place! read more

Food is good: calamari, bread, pizza, broccoli rabe. If you choose to sit in the porch, spray yourself with bug repellent first. I came away with 8 mosquito bites. The mosquitos are at the top of the food chain. Citronella does not do much. And the porch doesn't have a bug screen. read more

This is a normal Friday night eatery for us. The pizza is absolutely delicious, the penne vodka is spectacular and the desserts are fresh. The staff here Is always a delight... I love this place read more

I like this place and there outdoor space. Pizza good but needed an extra 2 mins. Pasta dishes good and Marsala sauce nice. We go back. Reasonable prices. Always Good service. read more

We recently moved to the area and Cafe Pomodoro has instantly become our favorite spot for Italian. We've been here 4 times now and this place transports me back to the time we traveled to Italy. The food, wine, and hospitality have been superb. Their homemade bread with the antipasti is ahhhmazing! We really enjoy their pizza, seafood, and chicken parm. The fettucine carnobora is rich and decadent, but SO worth it. OMG. It can get really busy, so try to go early or later in the evening. You will not regret your visit! read more

I did not catch the gentleman's name that took care of me tonight (New Years day 2022) but he was very kind and the service was amazing. He was all alone in there working his butt off and out take out order was ready for pick up on time and everything was hot, not to mention the pizza was fantastic. We have never eaten here before, which is surprising because I've lived across the street for years, but I will say we will 100% be going back. read more

Excellent Pizza that reminded me of my childhood in NY! Their espresso is from Italy and amazing! Exceptional service by family run restaurant. Highly recommend!! read more

Ordered a chef salad and an Italian Stromboli. The Stromboli was mostly cheese and dough - although the bread was tasty. Looks and tastes more like a cheese Stromboli. read more

The food was great, and I am picky about my Italian food. I got the chicken marsala & it was out of this world. The sauce on the chicken marsala was very light, better than I have had at other restaurant. My boyfriend had veal parm, he really liked his dish as well. I have had their pizza in the past, it was very good. I am very impressed with this Italian restaurant, the quality of the food was excellent. read more

Wonderful pizza! Desserts are the BEST. My favorite things to get are the tomato pie and chocolate hazelnut cake.

Great pizza, Friendly staff, affordable prices. What is not to love about this place? Highly recommend

Awesome Italian food here! The artichoke dish is a definite try! Everyone enjoyed there great appetizers and dinner ! Chicken Marsala is the best I have ever had, the sauce! Sasha, our waitress was awesomeness! read more

Admittedly, I've only ordered from this cafe once, but my first encounter with their food was not encouraging. My spouse said his Italian sub was mediocre. My caesar salad chicken wrap was awful, however. The chicken tasted old and was warmed, so the few bits of romaine wilted, and the dressing was excruciatingly salty. This is the kind of food you'll only eat to prevent starvation. There was no pleasure or satisfaction involved. I would never order from them again, but, if anyone else decides to give them a try, order carefully. read more

A true hidden gem! I've yet to have a poor experience. Friendly, hard-working staff, sizable portions, and delicious food! Even when short-staffed in the current state of restaurant life, waitresses were friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious! Wings, pizza, and meatballs are highlights, and the bread is so good! Highly recommend the abruzzi porkette panini! read more

I was really excited to try this place, as it's very close to where I live and the other reviews were so positive. Unfortunately, the pizza we got was so greasy, we could barely eat any of it. The grease/oil was literally puddled up in the pieces of pepperoni. We ate a few of the cheese slices because we were starving and they were less greasy, but left most of the pie behind. When the waitress came to clear the table, she didn't even ask if something was wrong when we said we didn't want to box up the over half a pizza that was left. The crust was good, but not enough to make up for the overly greasy pizza and frozen, no flavor mozzarella sticks. Maybe the rest of the food here is good, as others have mentioned, but I won't be going back for the pizza. read more

So cute inside. And the best NY style crust. The grandmom pizza is perfection. Wish they delivered, but it's worth the pick up.

Wow. Finally found a good Italian place in Delaware. Lived here for 2 years so far and have been so unimpressed with the take out food and had yet to have good pizza. I don't know how well known thus place is, I almost don't want people to find out about it! But they gave great food so I want them to do well. Got a large pizza with moz,spinach, ricotta. Excellent. Just like the pizza I use to get in Brooklyn. Good crust. Fresh fresh toppings. Got fettuccini Bolognese. Huge portion. Good sauce. Eggplant appetizer. Excellent. Was in a blush sauce that I loved. Thin thin eggplant slices, the way it should be. Will go back for sure. Great place! read more
