Time and time again we hit this place up for local fresh yummy pizza and other delights from their menu. We still stuck with our faves but it looks like they updated their menu since I last glanced at it, and I must get in here again ASAP to try the specials written on the board inside!! read more

I really wanted to like this place because I strive to support local neighborhood businesses. Something is way off with their pricing! We paid almost $35 for a jalapeño and sausage pizza. Toppings are between $5-$6. If you get one of their multi-topping signature pizzas it is around $27. That pricing model doesn't make sense. The woman who answered the phone and handled our transaction (6/12) was less than friendly. It would've been nice to have a warmer welcome. Everyone else in the restaurant seemed friendly, but it just takes one bad apple to spoil the barrel. The pizza was good, but not $35 good. We won't be returning. read more

This is a cute Italian restaurant in an unassuming location. The dining area is small and filled up quickly, but our food came out quickly and was delicious. -Chicken Parmesan: the chicken cutlets were huge and perfectly crispy. The flavor of the sauce was great as well, not too sweet. -Lobster ravioli: the shrimp on top were perfectly cooked, and the ravioli were generously filled. The brandy cream sauce tasted great but was a bit heavy. -Linguine with clams: the sauce was delicious and very garlicky! The pasta was al dente The entrees also come with a hefty serving of garlic knots, which were hot and fresh. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend when in the area. read more

Small, cute, sort of out of the way. Tomato and burrata was perfect. Chicken parm, likely best in the state. Pizza was OK, not New York style, good just not as expected. Desserts are fine. read more

Food was delicious and extra kudos that is was hot and tasty after delivery. We are putting this restaurant on speed dial!

Went here for a night out with friends and we had a delightful time! I wish I could remember our server's name (Gloria, maybe?) but she was great. So friendly and attentive! We ordered the pasta puttanesca and the lobster ravioli, while our friends ordered penne à la vodka and the chicken parmigiana. Everything was delicious! Agreed with other reviewers that the brandy cream with the lobster ravioli was very rich but it was well worth the price for the amount that you get. Also the bowl of garlic knots you get with entrees were divine. Perfectly crispy yet still soft and chewy. Simple and cute decor in this tiny hole in the wall with an unassuming outside. Can't wait to go back and try more things! read more

I will never come here again. I called in my order. When I got there they said I don't see your order. I called you!

Door was locked despite hours on door stating they're open. People were inside and didnt come to open door either.

What a wonderful Italian experience! We had an excellent chicken parmigiana (cutlets were wonderfully thin and crispy) and a pasta allá vodka sauce that was so creamy that it hugged all the perfectly al dente noodles. But the most unexpected delight, the cocktails! We raved about the Chambord Spritz! Enjoy on a fun date or friends gathering! Finally the service was warm and inviting; we were well taken care of. We will definitely be back to try the pizzas! read more

I love this place! Normally we enjoy dining in, but last night I was craving their incredible Chicken Piccata and we were on a very short time schedule. I called them directly, and it was ready in 10 minutes. We stopped by their lovely place and picked it up to eat on the run. They are kind and helpful and the food is over the top wonderful. read more

A very Intimate little Italian Restaurant in Aurora. Very welcoming. It was already almost full at 5:00 when I walked in. I was seated right away, as there was one table left. The waitress indicated many delicious options. I ordered the Lasagna, $18, which was hot and Outstandingly Delicious, (see photo). The food is Always Made Fresh for every customer the garlic knots were tasty, but small. I also ordered a glass of Riesling, 6 ozs for $11, which was very good. For Dessert I had the Tiramisu $8.98, which was delicious, but incredibly tiny (see photo), which for that much money I felt it was overpriced. All in All, I would definitely go back and skip the wine and dessert. They are also taking over the Monaco Inn, which just closed in October, and will open up in November. This location is on Monaco, a little south of Leetsdale. read more

Excellent food and service. Newly decorated. Great local Italian restaurant with large menu.

OMG! The food is sooo good. Tonight I had Chicken & Shrimp Parmesan, it's to die for. The chicken Francaise was so good I laughed when I ate it,. First time I went there I had spaghetti with a meatball and a sausuge, i think I had that 3x in a row. Best garlic knots too! I cannot recommend this family restaurant highly enough; it's absolutely great. Larry read more

The wait staff was sooooo welcoming and kind. I broke my water glass and was treated like it wasn't even my fault. Wanted to add chicken to my special - no problem at all. Nothing but accommodating and warm. Fresh flowers everywhere. Pretty blue ceiling and charming lights fixtures make you forget you're in a strip mall off a busy street. What you can see of the kitchen is impeccable. The effort and commitment is crystal clear The smells!!!! The food was outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, perfect temp. The only ding is that they should deodorize the floor drain in the restroom. Otherwise it was spotless. read more

We ordered pickup. We got wings and a large pizza. The pizza was HUGE!!! I could only eat one slice after I ate some wings. I like the cheese and the sauce flavor. Very good. It's thin crust. The wings had a ton of buffalo sauce on them. The breading was a little mushy but I still liked them. We'll definitely be ordering pizza here again! read more

Pomodoro Pizza Pasta - Fettuccine chicken Alfredo & Garlic Knots with a side of marinara sauce - Italian Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Great service! Food arrived quickly and was SO yummy!! Don't be fooled by the outside. The dining experience was lovely. Oh, and there were plenty of doughy garlic knots! We were pleasantly surprised and will be back for sure! read more

We stopped by Pomodoro on our way home from the airport. It's located in a strip mall and we were pleasantly surprised how delicious the food was. The restaurant is simple indoors and very clean. The lady that helped us was so friendly and helpful. We ordered the fried ravioli and garlic knots as appetizers and both were really good. The marinara sauce was well balanced and no spice was overpowering. My husband had the lasagna and it was delicious. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and added chicken and mushrooms... and it was phenomenal. The chicken was spiced simply abut plentiful and so tender... it paired well with the Alfredo sauce that had some sort of magic mixed in because it was so tasty. There were plenty of mushrooms too! I would highly recommend stopping by here for a meal! read more

I'm in the area visiting family at UCHealth and we ate here last night. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The Greek salad was so fresh and the dressing was delicious. The chicken piccata was very tender. The eggplant parmigiana was also very good. They were able to accommodate the gluten free member of our group. The portions are huge, and I will be enjoying my leftovers this evening. Definitely worth a return visit! read more

It was our first time there. I ordered a meat lovers pizza. My wife ordered chicken français. We also shared a Caesar salad. The food was excellent, and the server was very attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant, but if you don't love lemon, I wouldn't order a dish that's made with wet lemon because it they are very lemony. But don't let that keep you away! read more

Super cute little family owned Italian restaurant in a strip mall. The chicken Marsala and fettuccine Alfredo were delicious! The service was great. The price was moderate to match the food. We enjoyed our meal. read more

We were blown away by every part of this meal. Eating every bite and reflecting on it for this review has been an absolute pleasure. The restaurant is modest, just six tables in all. If there is a wait, please stick it out and you won't be disappointed. You enter into an intimate dining room with a homey charm and fresh aroma. The menu has such a variety of traditional Italian dishes that I didn't know what to order, so I asked the owner. She proudly suggested the Chicken Parmigiana so I stuck with that while my brother ordered the Chicken Carbonara. He wanted to remove the peas from his dish and they were easily accommodating because everything is made from scratch freshly after it is ordered. It was just a few cooks, the host, and the owner. A simple operation that was incredibly effective. Our waters were refilled constantly. Not by the host, but by the observant and incredible owner. Everyone in this establishment did all they could do to ensure we got the most out of our meals. The honor they seemed to get from sharing their authentic dishes and experience with us was palpable and we are so appreciative of it. Right when we thought the experience couldn't get any better, the food arrived... Nearly speechless. The elegance of these classics was breathtaking. Every bite was clean and there were so many bites to have. I almost can't believe how much food they brought out for such a reasonable price. Both of our dishes came with beautifully cooked pasta, two succulent chicken breasts, and homemade garlic knots to share. All for under $50. It's a rare occasion that my brother and I don't both finish our meals and are still hungry right after. Although he wanted to finish, he took a few bites home knowing how satisfied he had been with dinner and how much he could savor a few more bites as leftovers. The best meal I've had in Colorado this summer and I cannot recommend it enough! read more

Great food overall and mediocre service. I had a hard time ordering food due to the language barrier, but we were able to work it out eventually. Their bolognese and garlic knots were amazing and I ate every bit of it. They add 20% tip regardless of party size which I wasn't a fan of at all. Can't give them a lesser rating though, since the food was so good, I would just order to-go next time. read more

My favorite penne vodka in the whole WORLD. And I used to work at an Italian restaurant. The pizza is also phenomenal. The staff is always so kind. This is always my go-to dinner spot when I land in Denver after a trip away. I've now been here 6+ times and I've loved everything I've tried. read more

Small spot with a couple of tables but has great food and service. Definitely need to go back.

The meal was amazing! This will be on my list to return to on my next trip to Denver.

I ordered the garlic knots, Chicken Parmesan, Eggplant Parm, and Shrimp Scampi to go. You definitely get your money's worth and they all tasted amazing. They even threw in extra garlic knots and some free sodas. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back. read more

Pomodoro Pizza Pasta - Chicken Parmesan and Garlic Knots - Italian Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Good food, but LOUSY SERVICE!!! My order was taken by some teenager who wouldn't smile and proceeded to screw up my order! I had to stop them from making the pizza incorrectly, and she rolled her eyes like I offended her. I spent $140 on food and tipped the little ingrate $28.. we then waited 30 minutes for food and weren't even offered a glass of water. The moral of this story, is that there are better pizza places in Aurora. Stay away from Pomodoro! They take your money and treat you like crap... read more

Better eating in maybe. I ordered mozzarella sticks and they weren't cooked all the way. The bruschetta salad with good the bread was hard. Just that was 30 something dollars which seems high. But I guess everything is expensive now read more

Cute spot in strip mall; don't let the location freak you out. The garlic knots are a must, made with pizza dough- better than I imagined. The Cesear salad was yummy and huge. Loved the chicken Marsala and Eggplant Parmesan; even though the pasta was not homemade, it was wonderfully all-dente. Red sauce was delicious! Would love a lunch special, but the portions are huge, so you will have leftovers. read more

I never claimed to be a cook, but I do know good food when I eat it. This place is awesome. When I try a new Italian restaurant, I always want to start with the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was one of the best I've ever had - perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of veggies, and it blended incredibly well with the pasta. The meatball .... great taste, great texture and the sausage was very flavorful and cooked well with just the right amount of burned crispiness on the edges. Don't ask me about the garlic knots, oh for heaven's sake, they were sooo good. Good job Pomodoro, Salud. read more

Whispers of outstanding Italian recipes coming out of no-man's land on Dayton & 6th led us to Pomodoro. Too bad the whispers weren't louder. We've picked up dinner three times now with items ranging from above average to my new favorite. Rigatoni Bolognese: I use bolognese dishes to measure new Italian joints. Simply put, this has become my favorite in CO and among my fave pasta dishes anywhere. The sauce is Meaty, a tinge spicy, and clings to the rigatoni, creating a heavenly mouthfeel. It's on the order every time, even if I'm sharing it. Sharing it's no problem---portions are enorme. Pizza: Call it somewhat above average (7/10?) Denver NY-style with quality toppings and a sauce that allows a cheese pizza to hold its own. It was not greasy, and had plenty of cheese, which irks some NYers, but not me. One thing that's lame: You may order half toppings, but will be charged for covering the whole pie. This can get expensive. Chicken Francese: Delicious in a way that made it easy to forget this was takeout. Calzone: They look like a giant smile. If you love ricotta overload, you'll smile even bigger than the two meals I got from mine. Perfectly cooked. I'll order another if they add enough toppings and less ricotta. The second half tasted much better when warmed a day later. Garlic Knots: Pasta dishes come with three, but a side of these can only improve the meal. Light and hopped up on garlic, these level up from any others I've had around town. Kid's Menu: Sure, it's got pizza and three kinds of pasta, but also chicken tenders, meatball sliders. This covers even fussy kids for $7.99. My son's spaghetti w meat sauce had enough delicious meat for an adult portion. Good deal!! Garden Salad: This was included with the chicken Francese. First, it was so big that we thought they'd given us an extra entree. Second? It was so fresh that the leftover looked good for a couple more days in the fridge. Ambiance: While waiting for my orders, I've taken in the surroundings. It's a small, but not cramped, dining room. Well-lit, the counter features a display of Italian kitchen cookbooks that reflect someone knows what she's doing here. Tl:DR Pomodoro serves delicious, authentic Italian food in large portions at reasonable prices. Especially awesome for takeout, the food compares favorably to places either/both more expensive and trendy. 4.5 stars round up to five. read more

This is a good "red sauce" joint in the Aurora area. They have a small casual dining room and do a ton of takeout business from what we saw on our first visit. They have a fairly diverse menu for a small restaurant and we enjoyed everything we tried. I wouldn't say we were blown away, but we will likely visit again the next time the craving for Italian comfort food arises. read more

Pomodoro Pizza Pasta - Chicken sorrentino, gnocchi, side of meatballs, garlic knots (included with entree!) - Italian Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

It's a small unassuming spot in a strip mall in Aurora, but it scratches an itch whenever I am craving some homemade Italian. Super nice staff, and their dishes remind me of some Jersey & NYC spots from my childhood. It's wonderfully unpretentious and the entree serving sizes are easily 1.5 meals. I haven't had their pizza, but chicken parm, eggplant parm, (meat) lasagna, and a few other entrees are all worth trying. Good garlic knots too, but my fav in town for those are Pizza 3.14 on 20th st. For me pretentious Italian takeout or midweek meal...Pomodoro is solid. read more

Pomodoro Pizza Pasta - Sebastian's Pizza - Italian Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This is one of our favorite local places. Food is home cooked, with huge portions, and everything is delicious! The garden salad is so fresh with about 4-5 types of raw veggies with tomatoes and great salad dressings. Very homey cozy ambiance- small place with about 6-8tables. The owners are a couple from NY - wife is out front and husband cooks. We've tried chicken dishes, pasta, pizza- everything is yummy! Prepare to take home food unless you have a huge appetite! Service is always good- quick warm and very friendly. read more
