Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Pomodoro was highly recommended by an Italian friend so we went to check it out....sure enough it was outstanding, all of the pasta is made fresh daily by the owner/executive chef. The servers were very attentive and friendly and made us feel welcomed. A small plate of white bread and focaccia drizzled in olive oil was promptly served, it was tasty but I wish they would have warmed it up and served it with a nice aged balsamic. We started with the Beef Carpaccio which was a small serving but excellent, the meat was fresh, the arugula was perfectly seasoned with dressing, it was nice and dry and not overly wet, and the Caperberries were delicious. I had the Gnocchi, and I have to say it was it was the best Gnocchi I have ever had, it was so fresh, soft and tender , the tomato sauce was very good as well, very fresh and it came topped with fresh basil which wilted as I ate, it was very tasty. My partner had the Pappardelle pasta with prosciutto, I had a bite and it was ridiculous good. We had a bottle of Pinot Grigio and a bottle of sparkling water, the total was about $75, not bad for such a delicious meal. The server informed us that the owner believes in only using fresh, organic ingredients and free ranged meats, he doesn't like taking shortcuts and it is very clear by the flavor and the freshness of his cuisine. The owner is the same original owner who closed the restaurant in 2008, apparently he is divorced now and his ex doesn't work at the restaurant any longer. The restaurant was half empty and it doesn't appear like they have made any effort to create an online presence, so I hope others see my review and give this place a chance because I really want to go back and try other dishes :-)

I don't get the 5 star reviews. Sure Piero is nice and a somewhat talented chef. It's great that people are nice now. But tonight, with 12 people in the restaurant at 7 PM, our group of 6 felt lucky to have snagged the last two yellowtails wrapped in potatoes - yes they were very good, actually excellent, but everything else? Just ok. Mushy pasta. Bland pizzas. And it took a looonnnggg while. The wait staff is very nice, even if they don't know what's on the menu or the specials. This is my second review. Lots of my friends swear by this place. I wouldn't go out of my way. Maybe it's just me.

I am so excited. Next week at this time I will be in Fl. looking forward to a meal with Piero and his beautiful family. Everything he makes is excellent. The hard part is what to order first. When in Fort Lauderdale Pomodoro's is a must stop. At least once but I promise you will want to come back for more.

If you have ever been to Italy, this place will take you back there from the ambience to the simple and rustic delicious food by Chef Piero. I have yet to encounter any italian place that does it like Italy, simple, the best ingredients and wonderful flavors cooked to perfection. I am lucky to have this within close walking distance and thrilled it reopened minus the drama. I hope this place stays in business for many, many years! Enjoy!

Pomodoro has excellent food, casual atmosphere, and the waitstaff could not be better. We ate there three times on vacation, always had Danny as our waiter, and he was terrific, friendly, attentive and very helpful. Piero is the chef and makes wonderful pizza and pasta. Desserts are homemade and delicious. Had a pear/apricot tart that was yummy. See you all next time we're in FL!

If I could rate zero stars I would. Waiter argued with us, food was BLAND, no reason to go to this terrible restaurent!

Today I came with my family and had the I gamberi pizza with shrimp, garlic, pancetta, fresh herbs, tomatoes, and light cheese. Simply delicious! You could taste each flavor separately; the pizza was well balanced on ingredients and very tasty! I couldn't leave without trying (again) the homemade Tiramisu... And guess what? Unbelievable! :D I will definitively be back here!

I've had the pleasure of dining at Pomodoro, which I am sure takes its name from the well-known Pomodoro tomato based sauced, on several occasions and have found the food I've had there to be exceptional in preparation as well as in ingredient. I've had their Pizza Ai Funghi Selvatici and Pizza Quattro Stagioni, both of which I found to be not only tasty, but well prepared, rich in ingredient and flavor. However, and this is the good point, Pomodoro is more than a pizza parlor. It's in fact an Italian restaurant of comfortable décor with a good range not only of menu offerings but of daily special options. On my most recent visit I went for their menu choice of Tuna Carpaccio, a salad comprised of celery, caper berries, arugula, topped with quality paper thin slices of cheese, coated with a distinct to the taste lime enhanced vinaigrette. I found the flavor combinations were well balanced, each complimentary to the other as well as unique in composition. For my entrée I chose the spaghetti with clam, being one of what were five special not on the menu offerings of the night. When it arrived, the portion was huge but nicely presented and having far more in the shell fresh to the taste clams than any such dish I've generally had elsewhere. It was also expertly prepared, especially with its garlic ingredient which so many other establishments never seem to get just right, either by undercooking which gives an overly harsh garlic taste or overcooking which renders a bitterness. Pomodoro, as a restaurant, is basically split into two parts. One side of it is comprised of the kitchen area with a few small high table like seatings along with a counter dinning/stool seating arrangement. The other side is regular table and chair seat dinning. The entire restaurant is neat, orderly, organized and spotlessly clean. I've also found the service to be exceptional. On my recent visit, my server was Rob; a person I found to be light heartedly friendly, mannerly as well as helpful in that instead of just rattling off the night specials gave some insightful explanation as to each. As for rating I can easily go a solid Four Stars Plus, and I'm rather sure that after trying them a few more times for consistency, will most likely be updating to Five Stars.

Just went out to dinner with my husband and three kids. Food was good. But all three kids had penne with butter with sauce on the side. Waiter charged $14 plus $3 for side of sauce!! Unreal $17 for pasta with sauce on the side!! Way over priced!!!

Had the pleasure of visiting for my first time tonight! Everything was fresh and light (not easy to say at most Italian restaurants). Family owned, organic ingredients...Favorite part was the Eggplant Parmesan! I have never experienced one quite like it. VERY thick and lightly breaded. The margarita pizza was very light, definitely authentic Italian, not typical NY style which I usually go for. Very clean, great service, highly recommend!
