My wife and I love Il Pomodoro! We come here when we are in Florida from Chicago. The selection of both apps and entrees is wide, and the food is perfectly delicious. The wine list is also more than adequate and all prices are very reasonable. We both had pasta fagioli to start, which was uniquely great. My wife had chicken/spinach cannelloni and I had tortellini carbonara as our mains. Huge portions and both were fantastic! The ambience is warm and cozy, and the service impeccable. Our server, Alicia, was so nice, and attentive, efficient and friendly. We will continue to dine here when we are in town!
