    Caesar Salad

    As always, this place delivers! It's a quaint place to satiate your appetite for authentic Italian food. Service is impeccable! Don't hesitate, give it a go & you'll know what I mean!

    This is the finished plate of Chicken Marsala.

    A small family Italian restaurant that is known for is pizza. Don't miss all the other choices. Only a handful of tables inside and more outdoors. Our party of three started with shared arancini. A very light coating with an amazing stuffing. Best appetizer on the menu. Our entrees were chicken Marsala, chicken parm, and tortellini alla panna. Wow! Very light sauces and large portions. Definitely family recipes. We were too full to think of desserts. Definitely, pay a visit or order out. There is more than pizza. A pleasant surprise in St. Charles.

    Eggplant Parmigiana with Penne
    Alex C.

    My family and I stopped into Pomodoro E Mozzarella for the first time yesterday after doing extensive research for an authentic Italian spot near to Oswego/Yorkville area since these areas are lacking in that department. It's located inside of a strip mall (do not let this deceive you) and is very tiny but decorated so elegantly. There's about 5 tables inside and another 5 or so on their outside patio area. We came in for an early dinner knowing about the space and wanting to make sure we got a spot to eat inside due to the heat wave and to account for the time it took to get there (if we brought it home it wouldn't have been as fresh due to where we live). We were immediately greeted by Francesco, one of the owners sons and he was absolutely delightful. He told us a little about the restaurant-- his family opened it in 2012, they're from Sicily and almost everything there is made from scratch including the bread. We also got to talk to his father (the cook) and he was wonderful too. Their family is simply wonderful. Here's what we got to eat to share: Drinks: Aperol Spritz - this is the first place I have been to that actually makes this drink the correct way. You can actually taste the aperol and it isn't overpowered by the bubbly. By far my favorite Aperol Spritz I've had while eating out. Appetizers: Caponata - this came with home made bread that was so good, this was probably our favorite appetizer. The eggplant and carrots in this dish really made it for me and it paired so well with the fresh bread Tronchetti Di Panelli - the fried garbanzo paste fritters were unlike anything I've ever had before. These are a Sicilian speciality, almost in the form of flattened mozzarella sticks? They were light and airy but also full of flavor. I'd definitely order this again. Sicilian Orange Salad - I am not a fruit/sweet salad person by any means and tend to avoid them all together, but I'm so glad I tried this. The dressing was incredible, more on the savory side and only sweet aspect to the salad was the oranges that were so sweet and juicy. It rounded out the salad so well, I'd order this again as well. Mains: Eggplant Parmigiana - I am a fiend for eggplant parmigiana and this one takes the cake for the best one I've ever had. It has that authentic home made taste (because it is) that brings any Italian immediate comfort. The eggplant was soft while still having a nice crispy outer. The sauce was perfect and the penne was the perfect touch. Cheese Ravioli - holy cow are these things huge and authentic. You can actually taste the creaminess and distinct flavor of the ricotta. I loved these! This also came with homemade garlic bread which was phenomenal as well. Fresca Pizza - this was their white pizza with prosciutto and arugula. The crust was spectacular as was the rest of the pizza. I'd order this again as well. Dessert Affogato - I almost wept in the restaurant over how good this was. They serve theirs with a hazelnut gelato (they sometimes do pistachio too) and my god was it delicious. Again, the best affogato I've had in a restaurant setting. Cannoli - this was probably the biggest cannoli I've ever seen/had. Extremely tasty and authentic. I will be screaming from the rooftops about this place for the next couple of months. Pomodoro E Mozzarella is run by the kindest family and supporting their business is so easy to do. This is hands down the most authentic Italian spot I have been to. Our search is over and well worth the drive. We will be back! Thank you Francesco and family!

    Arancini

    Pretty good! Tried this place since it's close to work. Tried the anchovy pizza - very tasty! Very fresh, great flavor. Good amount of saltiness from the anchovies with the fresh gooey cheese. Very good. Also tried the arancini - got two for the order. Huge! Sat outside on a nice day. Service was kind and prompt. Good variety on menu. Very reasonable pricing. Clean good ambience. Would recommend!

    Came here with a friend on a pretty busy night. We did have to wait 20 minutes to be seated, but we didn't wait any longer than that. The food was really delicious. The only thing I would say I had a complaint about was that the waiter kept forgetting our water, but was bringing stuff to other tables. Food was 10 out of 10 and will definitely be back.

    Inside seating.

    This place knocked it out of the park on all fronts for us: Food, Service and ambiance. Our first visit here. This is the home cooking that I grew up with. I recommend all of the items we ordered: Fried Zucchini - perfectly crisp and a large number of pieces for a table to share. Garlic bread with cheese - I liked the soft crust on the bread. Garden salad as my entree - fresh, cold lettuce, tomato, a couple of briny black olives. Their thick creamy garlic dressing is fabulous. Eggplant Parmesan with rigatoni - thinly sliced and breaded eggplant. The sauce with it was good. Large serving size so we had leftovers to bring home. What impressed me was that all of the hot items were brought to our table steaming hot. The food did not sit under a heat lamp. I'm going to make this my birthday dinner next month.

Our server was fantastic. We laughed afterward because we were a little nervous when she didn't write anything down, but she didn't miss a thing. Everything came out exactly as we ordered it. The pizzas were delicious, and a small is definitely plenty for one person. The meatball sliders were SO good -- the flavor was incredible. And the pepper spread? My husband was practically ready to lick the little ramekin clean! He wanted a simple salad rather than one of the specialty salads on the menu, and they were more than happy to customize one for him. Even the ranch dressing was fantastic. Great food, wonderful service, and such a good experience from start to finish. We will absolutely be back!

There are three booths inside and a big outdoor patio, sometimes with live music. Such a great ambiance. They sell many items inside: frozen ravioli/pierogis, gluten free pasta, cheese, instant noodles, baking mixes, pasta sauces, apparel, etc. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I appreciate how seriously they take food sensitivities (no outside food or drinks to prevent cross contamination) - not many places do this, so big props to them for really caring about their customers The food, oh man. We tried the star penne pasta with pesto, garlic bread, crispy sweet potato gnocchi with vodka sauce, braised beef ravioli with roasted aglia e olio sauce, Italian panini and chicken sandwich and everything was FIRE. Can't even tell it's gluten free honestly. The pastas were cooked perfectly, all the sauces delicious and well-seasoned.

This is a great place for people with food sensitivities to safely eat, and those who just want a delicious meal overall. Definitely recommend!!!

Basically the server had no suggestions. After we all placed our orders,we waited over an hour to get our appetizer and salad. The server kept saying the kitchen was backed up so she gave us a complimentary round of drinks. The appetizer and salad came on the same plate which was strange but the portions are definitely small probably because they were part of the Restaurant Week menu The wrapped shrimp were tasty and the wedge salad was your basic wedge salad.
