Came to Tomatina for lunch with my family after a long time, and it was a wonderful experience. We were seated right away with no wait, even on a Sunday afternoon. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out perfectly. Our server, Zainab, provided outstanding customer service. She made great recommendations, was incredibly sweet, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was excellent, and the overall dining experience reminded us why we enjoy coming here. We'll definitely be back! read more

Overall, it was a decent experience at Tomatina. The food was good and despite it being Father's Day, we were seated right away because the restaurant wasn't very crowded. The service, however, could have been better. Our server never checked back on us for drink refills, and there seemed to be a lack of attention to dine-in customers. My father's meal arrived first, and then we waited about 10 minutes before the rest of our food was brought out. We could see that our meals were ready, but they sat waiting to be served while several employees appeared to be focused on online orders instead. The food itself was enjoyable, which helped make up for some of the service issues, but the overall experience would have been much better with more attentive service. read more

Ordered the carbonara to go! Was not a fan as it was more of an Alfredo than a carbonara. So I'll just stick to the basics next time! Incredibly friendly and helpful! Plaza parking Thanks! read more

Pasta is one of my favorites -- fulfilling and flavorful -- and Tomatina in Union City always exceeds my expectations. I have dined here on several occasions with family and also my child -- love the care and kindness. The staff here is sweet and polite; helpful and attentive but never hovering or overbearing. I have had to the chance to try several pastas, appetizers and sweets -- incredible! Reasonably priced; very delicious and perfect for family or date nights! Looking forward to my next meal at Tomatina! Would definitely recommend, there's something delicious for everyone! read more

This place deserves a much higher average rating. I've been here multiple times over the last few years and the food is always tasty, the servers are attentive, and the price is unbeatable. Get the minestrone and pizza lunch combo and feel like a million bucks. Sure, it's not gourmet. But it's also not Sysco food crap. It's comparable to a Starbucks pike place or Peet's major dickinson--affordable enough to be a daily driver, but a solid cut above the rest. Do yourself a favor and come here--and keep coming back because of all the money you'll be saving! read more

Well....i did not have a great experience at all. I will say this...I ordered this about an hour before they were closing and it was to go so there is that I guess....I got the Pasta Trio and the Ricotta Cheesecake. The pasta trio wasn't very good. The Pesto Rigatoni was tasty. I ate all that. The Fettuccine was bland and watery and the Lasagna was terrible. It and nothing inside it. Not even cheese. As for the Cheesecake, it wasn't good either. It barely had any sauce and it was burnt on top. Just look at the pictures and compare it to the ones on the website. Maybe it's better dining in. read more

It was not a busy Sunday evening, so it was easy to walk right in and be seated. Every time we have dined at this Tomatina location, the ambiance has been pleasant and not high noise levels at all. Humberto was our server and did an excellent job! Our order modifications were accommodated and Humberto was patient and kind. Other team members helped serve our food and take care of our requests, like extra napkins and more water. Service here has been top notch every time we have dined here. The seasonal specials sign in front of the restaurant caught our attention and influenced our order selections. I love butternut squash anything, so of course, I ordered the butternut squash ravioli. The smooth, light, and creamy, sauce melted the ravioli in my mouth and the flavors with the cranberry made salty, sour, and sweet dance on my tongue. The spinach is an excellent balance with the butternut squash and cranberries. We ordered our usual, fav meat pizza with white sauce. Their cheese and sauce are mouth watering with the super garlicky sauce, and the amount of cheese they put makes it especially scrumptious for cheese lovers like us. Humberto's description of their limited time, (with this being the last week) pumpkin cheesecake convinced us to order a slice. It was not too sweet, and not heavy like many cheesecakes are made. I scraped the decadent caramel sauce off of the plate! It was a perfect grand finale for yet another satisfying Tomatina feast. read more

Terrible. They accepted my DoorDash order, made me wait an hour, and then cancelled it. Completely unprofessional

Been here a couple times and food is pretty good, and reasonably priced. Quiet and the times I've gone not too busy which is good because service is a little slow at times. Obviously located in the Union landing shopping center so plenty of parking. I would recommend it especially if you're in to things like Italian pizza and pastas. read more

Oh dear, the service was laughably bad here on this most recent Thursday evening (on which each adult entree gets you a free kids entree). The restaurant was practically empty except for maybe three small sized parties including ours of two adults and two kids yet they had at least two working as wait staff, a bartender, a couple bussers, and a few in the kitchen doing prep and cooks. Operationally, you'd think they'd be serving the whole restaurant or a steady flow of takeout, but that was not the case at all. Despite being outnumbered staff to patrons, it was nearly impossible to get any proactive service from the crew. Each time we needed something (placing the order, getting new utensils, taking care of the check, or just general questions), we needed to raise our hand to flag someone down. Our waiter barely made their way around our table to check in or just be present for our needs, however, had the attentiveness to change that TV channel once the Warriors game was over. At one time, we had dropped one of our utensils and instead of someone coming to replace it immediately (mind you that it's quiet enough to hear a utensil fall) and us being too frustrated to wait for someone to come help with our hand raised, we just grabbed one from a neighboring table. Furthermore, they initially wanted to seat us at the far corner of the restaurant, the furthest from the kitchen where all the action happens. We declined and opted to be seated closer to the kitchen, yet it was still bewildering as to why they don't emphasize the open kitchen experience as I see it as a clear competitive advantage to other restaurants. Plus being closer to the kitchen probably would mean less distance for the waiting staff to travel to ensure patrons get their food fresh, provide service more proactively and encourage higher churn with quicker meal service. Fortunately the food was delicious as always and was served in presentable fashion. The chicken fettuccine alfredo was creamy and meaty - very shareable with how rich the sauce is. The caprese piadine was refreshing yet hearty with its big slabs of fresh mozzarella cheese and tomatoes. Even the kids spaghetti and meatballs and ravioli were filling enough for our little ones! Another bright spot was how well the bathroom was stocked and how clean it was aside from the blatant graffiti covering the walls. I'm not sure how Tomatina has fallen so hard from grace when it comes to service but perhaps it was just an off night or perhaps better training is in store for the staff on how better service could lead to better tips and more return visitors, both sustaining the establishment's foothold in this bustling shopping center. Overall, I am still a fan of Tomatina's food as their kitchen continues to execute flawlessly and their daily deals are still solid for dining out options, however, something needs to be done to uplift their front end staff's performance as it's severely lacking and downright atrocious - this is not a good look or representation of this city, let alone this brand. read more

After dining here occasionally for a few years, I must have forgotten to yelp about this place. Went here on a Saturday evening since we could not decide on what to eat. There were a few families ahead of us but we were promised a 10 minute wait time for two. Once we were seated, we ordered the garlic bread, a personal carne pizza and the Gorgonzola pear pizza which was seasonal. All three dishes were good. Pizza was cooked right and had the right amount of toppings. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu and the affogato. These were also good as well. A couple of downsides is this place is pricey and unfortunately they do not have a variety of tea options unlike some places. read more

First of all, this is a cozy place for a sports bar-like place with a great vibe. It is a casual place with lots of seating and a bar. When we went we had really great service. They have an actual ceramic fire pizza oven that you can watch from your seating. The food was pretty good for a fast casual place. I am unclear why they get low ratings, but we had a terrific time and the food was excellent. I was impressed with the service. It was unexpectedly awesome. Humberto got us drinks and our orders were prompt and very delicious for rhe. We will be back, for sure. read more

Tomatina is across from Century 25, next to Buffalo Wild Wings. Plenty of parking nearby. Outside, Inside & patio seating available. Hanging Lights & high ceiling only decor.. After entering, looked for an host, a waiter, or a bartender. Nada. Finally found bartender. Was told to sit anymore. Did. Waited. Total time for ordering: 10 minutes. Food came in 10ish minutes. Offerings: lunch menu: seasonal specials. desserts, drinks, entrees.. Bites: linguini alle Vongole (24.95) linguini with clams.. -linguini not al dente, too chewy. Bland. All the blended flavors of oregano, basil, white wine & butter was condensed at bottom of plate. "Stuff" on top- no "sauce". -small manila clams plentiful in numbers, 0 in flavor amidst the chewiness. -Calabrian sausage slices had slight spiciness, some meat flava, very salty and slight mintiness. 2.5 stars understaffing=poor service, lack of quality control = disappointing, underwhelming food... read more

Reasonably priced, with a comfortable and clean environment, and the service is quite good. I always go around noon to order the takeout shrimp Alfredo penne with extra pasta. The flavor is great, and the shrimp is very well cleaned. It's a great option for pasta lovers. Even though it's a chain restaurant, I personally recommend this one. 價格適中，環境舒服且乾淨，服務也不錯，我每次都是在中午去點外帶蝦仁白醬管麵加麵。味道很不錯，蝦仁處理的也非常乾淨，非常適合喜歡吃義大利麵的族群。儘管是連鎖餐廳，個人是推薦這家餐廳。 read more

Not from Union City but here for business. I came in for an early dinner around 5:00pm because it was near the Hotel. I enjoy trying new places and decided on Italian cuisine. I was greeted and seated by the hostess. He gave me a menu that I took a couple of minutes to overlook. There were a few tables with seated patrons but definitely wasn't busy. There was one waiter at the time cashing people out and grabbing a drink for a patron. I patiently waited while others were being seated and drinks were being taken. The waiter had yet to get to me as I sat right in front of him. A couple sat and he began to go over the menu with them as he returned he started to take their order? I feel very strongly about server etiquette and this was just bad and I could only imagine the rest of my dining experience. As a patron, I don't believe it's my responsibility to pin point the problem directly to the waiter. I felt that it was appropriate for me to just get up and leave and not dine at this establishment. One star for the hostess that greeted me as I came and went. read more

I came with my family to celebrate Father's Day and we had a really bad experience, first the Host was not friendly at all and just said "hold on" and left someone else to ask if we need help and we said yes but the girl had a unhappy face too give us the table and then the server came to us with a such low energy and bad attitude. We order appetizers we order garlic bread it was not well cooked well, we ordered the appetizers and the entres together big mistake they gave us everything all at the same time and we didn't really enjoyed it. The server name Zainab wasn't attentive at all she was more worried about talking with other servers than doing her job we had to ask another person for help and when we left she forgot that we asked for the receipt until I asked her again, it was a bad decision to have gone to this restaurant for a very special occasion for my husband's day!!! read more

Spring break 2025 and today we were craving for Italian yummies. Since we were shopping around at the Union Landing shopping plaza area, we decided to try Tomatina and had a late lunch here. No wait. Quickly seated. Nice ambiance. High ceiling. Nice contemporary decor. Clean. We decided to try: House Garlic Rolls: 5/5 Comes with 4 square-shaped garlic rolls. The rolls are topped with some shredded parmasan cheese. The plate had olive oil with aregano. We loved the rolls! Fresh out of the oven, it's soft with crunch of the outside, and delicious flavor with the olive oil. Too bad they don't do refill because we would've want more! Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo: 4/5 5 for Fettuccine and Alfredo sauce. Just enough cream sauce without feeling too rich, and, al dente fettuccine. (I can't stand soft pasta.). 4 for the chicken pieces. They were a bit too salty for me. read more

This place is always a favorite of ours. I have never had bad food here, and never had bad service. The rotating seasonal menu is always a nice departure from some Italian restaurants that have the same menu all the time. We are big fans of the garlic knots. The Capri salad is always spot on. Both the minestrone and the potato soup seemed to always hit the spot. There is enough variety with flatbread pizzas and pasta that this makes a perfect spot for a family dinner. Would definitely recommend this place. Parking is a little rough in this plaza due to the theater, and other popular restaurants. Small price to pay for good food and good time. read more

I'm not sure why this place doesn't have great reviews, I had an amazing experience here. We came an hour and a half before closing but we were seated right away. Our servers were very nice and whenever we needed extra utensils or had any questions, they were always fast to come by. They also checked on us multiple times during our dinner. They had a big menu for us to choose from but we decided to go with the garlic rolls, pasta trio, and baked penne bolognese. We also ordered the take home pastas because they had a great deal. These tasted great even when heated at home the next day. I will definitely be coming back to try their pizza! read more

Tomatina is a decent chain restaurant. It's like another Olive Garden sister restaurant, which I'd say is pretty equal in quality and service. With that being said, do not expect the best, most authentic Italian dishes here. The garlic rolls were pretty good. Portobello fettuccine was also just decent. It didn't really have that "kick" in its taste, but it also wasn't bland. It's perfect for those with sensitive tastebuds, but for me, it needed a bit more parmesan cheese to add a saltier flavor. read more

This place used to be good, not sure where it changed. I have since moved but was visiting for the holidays. We stood at the door waiting to get seated for almost 10-15 mins, no one acknowledged us during that time. Once we were finally seated we ordered our food and the server was very friendly, wish I got his name. Portions seemed smaller and not as fresh. I got the chicken parm, the breading was soggy and not crispy, the breading also crumbled off. I don't know what happened but this was one of my favorite places to eat. read more

I don't know why Tomatina got an average of three stars. I've been here a couple of times. Their pizza are great! My favorite is the Shiitake mushroom with sausages. You can pick the softness of your dough, which is great because not everyone likes the traditional dough softness. Pasta are also excellent. They're not swimming in sauce nor were they lacking in sauce. I thought this place offers one of the best pasta and pizza in a 20 mile radius. I wish their online platform can be more refreshed for a better takeout experience, but nothing major. read more

Their family platter Togo is really good. Service is excellent too. I recommend this place food is good

We came for the Thursday night kids eat free special which is a great deal. The adult chicken Alfredo was great and portions for the kids orders were large. I've been here a few times and getting seating is always awkward. There is supposed to be a host but they are always running around and not actually greeting arrivals. The service is very slow. Took 10 mins to even flag someone down to get water. Ordering was fone but getting the check was yet another flagging someone down situation. I saw groups of staff chatting at the bar each time I was there so it seems to be acceptable behavior. read more

I visit Tomatina often, but today's experience was disappointing. Around 2:00 pm, I came in for a regular family lunch (2 adults and 4 kids). At the time to pay my bill, the server (a tall gentleman) brought me the credit card machine. I selected a $10.00 tip, but he removed it and applied a mandatory 20% tip, even after I had already made my selection. I was forced to pay a 20% tip ($32 on a $162 bill), stating it was required for parties of six people. Our four kids are 22, 12, 8, and 2 1/2 years old. I understand my oldest is no longer a child, but he still lives with us. This was not a special event, corporate gathering, or holiday party--just a normal family lunch. I believe tipping should reflect the quality of service and should not be mandatory, especially for families with children. This policy left a very negative impression. read more

This was my first time dining at Tomatina and although the food was pretty good, the overall experience was kind of meh.... My family and I stopped by for lunch a few weeks ago as a party of 4 [3 adults & 1 child]. We are greeted upon entering and made the request to dine outside factoring in how noisy my toddler could be at times. The hostess obliged and provided us with menu and disappeared. We wait around for staff to come take our order and nobody comes. Maybe us requesting to sit outside led the staff to forget about us??? We literally have to get up and alert someone but no big deal. Food: *Shrimp and Spinach Pappardelle [from the seasonal menu]. Requested for the pasta to be swapped for penne instead. *Kid's Mac & Cheese [drink not included in meals] *Kid's Juice *Calamari Fritti *Pasta Trio *Mixta Salad Food slowly makes its way out. Everything seemed fine except for the shrimp and spinach pappardelle. We received an order of the shrimp pomodoro instead [spaghetti noodles swapped for penne]. Again, not a big deal. We flagged a staff member and let them know that the order was incorrect but instead of receiving any kind of apology or acknowledgment of the mistake, the staff insisted on telling us that we ordered this dish. There was a bit of back and forth but we eventually got our shrimp and spinach with penne. UGH!!! Food was actually pretty good but how the staff handled the situation was really off putting. Not only were we forgotten on multiple occasions but the whole mix up of dishes just put the nail in the coffin. 2 stars overall. So very disappointing given the fact that the food was good and I would have easily come back. Now I see why the restaurant was so empty even during lunch hour- meh! read more

I ordered my food for delivery, paid $10+ extra for delivery, for the restaurant to forget one of my meals and not offer me any assistance in receiving the meal.

I had high hopes for this restaurant after hearing great things--and to be fair, the food absolutely lived up to the hype. Every dish we ordered was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. The ambiance was equally impressive: warm lighting, tasteful décor, and a relaxing atmosphere that made us want to linger. Unfortunately, the service was where things fell apart. From the start, our server seemed distracted and disorganized. It took an unusually long time just to get our drink orders in, and there was a noticeable mix-up with our food--one dish was missing, another was incorrect, and it took another long wait to get it resolved. The biggest issue came at the end: we waited over 20 minutes just to get the check, and had to ask more than once before it was finally brought to the table. This kind of service really dampened an otherwise enjoyable experience. It's a shame, because with such great food and atmosphere, this place has serious potential. I'd consider coming back--but only if the service sees some major improvements. read more

This Tomatina location is in Union Landing plaza. This is a rather busy plaza, but if you come early enough, parking is not too bad. My friend suggested this spot, but I was unsure of coming back here after my last experience here, as it was bad, but decided to give them another shot. Our server was nice, but it seemed like they were understaffed even with only a few customers dining in at the time, as there was a wait before we were able to order, a long delay in between getting our appetizers / drinks / food / dessert, and to pay. I ordered their Cheese Ravioli, which usually comes with marinara and parmesan. I asked if they could substitute the marinara with Alfredo sauce instead, which they were able to. Decent pasta, but I had better. Just enjoyed catching up with my friend, as we had so much time waiting for our server and for each of the courses of our meal. read more

We ordered delivery from your website and you messed up. You didnt bring us one of our dinners. When we called you refused to fix your mistake and bring us our food that we paid for and paid delivery fee for! You offered a refund which doesnt feed my family or we could come get it. Everyone we spoke to on the phone was rude. We left our food to get cold to come get our missing meal. When we arrived our container was messed up and we had to ask you to make a new one. The person we dealt with was rude and sarcastic! What happened to customer service?? What happen to accountability and doing whats right?? Funny enough not one person would give us their name!! Only the manager because he had to give us his card!! General manager Carlos Ramos...why do you allow your employees to be so rude and disrespectful?? When I came on here to write my review I saw your rating and what people were saying. Apparently you font give a shit. People should boycott your location!! read more

Good food but definitely not worth the price that they put on it. Food (6/10) - I grew up loving their fried calamari. But on this recent revisit, whether it be time or maybe I just grew up, it was sorely disappointing. The calamari is so small and shriveled and soggy. The sauces were nice pairings with the lemon but it was tough to chew through. The pastas were decent but I know you can definitely get better ones at actual Italian restaurants (probably for relative or less too). Each pasta was around $20 for lackluster flavor. Service (6/10) - Seated outside. Servers were unattentive and it was really difficult to get their attention. They brought out our food, checked in once, and then didn't come back until we wanted the bill. I think the service could definitely be better but maybe it would have been better if we were seated outside. Really enjoyed it when I was younger but probably wouldn't go again now. read more
