After a long Sunday at the Boston Seafood Show, and only ready around 8;00pm, we wanted some Italian and headed to North Boston and Hanover Street where dozens of Italian restaurants are located. It's THE place in Beantwon for great Italian food!
The resto we wanted to visit had 25 people out on the street waiting for a table...and the wait was over an hour!
We casually walked down the street to an unassuming little place and walked in. It was full and the server told us it was a 45 minute wait. She suggested we go to a third resto down the street to have a drink while we waited...yikes!
We ordered glasses of red and enjoyed the crowds and the great smells coming from the kitchen of this rather large, half-empty place...
We returned to Pomodoro and the server gave us 2 glasses of the same exact great wine we were drinking elsewhere. As we sat down in this small, 30-seat resto, she brought over 2 tiny menus and a heaping plate of lightly fried Calamari done exquisitely...and we hadn't even ordered yet! Crazy‼
We ordered a bottle of wine and she brought over 2 Beautiful salads...we still hadn't ordered...
She returned to chat with us and suggested a couple of dinners and we munched on a deep dish of warm breads in olive oil with a dozen olives to boot! Wow!
Dinner arrived and what a treat! Salmon pesto and tomato--just delicious! Everything was superbe and as the resto emptied out, our server, Shavonne, chatted with us some more. We found out she was actually the owner and there were 3-4 guys in the kitchen and she had been there decades!
What a wonderful, delicious evening!
I have been coming to Pomodoro for about 19 years and it is still one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to! Last night I had the veal scallopine with green olive risotto! Amazing! We had to wait for our table a bit and the hostess/waitress brought a plate of fried calamari to us to share as we waited! The on the house dessert of tirisamu was wonderful as well....will keep coming back!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Incredible food, incredible atmosphere, and the owner treated me like her family. Can’t recommend this place high enough.
