Been going there for 7 years now, and I have never been disappointed....from the really great mojito to the really superb grilled salmon, I can go there again and again Mxxaaa!!
Great food and good customer service. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone �
Was absolutely amazing. Had great pizza and great service
Whenever feel like Italian food, Pomodoro is a great deal,
Pastas, Pizza and Salads are always amazing, we had their strawberry G and T for drinks before ordering salad mista italiana as a starter, For the mains we had the special rissotto primavera which was cooked perfectly well then had some Almond tart as desserts, service from waiter was very good. Definitely will be back.
Great hangout place. The vibe is always great. Great pizza and wine type outlet. My favourite is their chicken breast in a creamy white sauce, its absolutely delicious. Great service too
havent been to Pomodoro fora while. whata great coming home experience. WONDERFUL minestrone. Pomodoro fails to disappoint. Excellent pepper steak great ambience wonderful service. you cant go wrong!!! yeah baby!!
We were welcomed by friendly staff and seated immediately. Our waiter Phewo was incredible. The starters of calamari and focaccia were so yummy. I had the porcini risotto and my husband had a gorgeous pasta - a big enough portion for a man weighing 118kgs. Overall a delightful Italian restaurant with fabulous service and tasty food.
Really great and comforting itallian food!! The staff are really pleasant and not mention the hospitiable manager Stefano. Highly recommended, just make sure you make a booking well in advance!
First visit at this overly restaurant in Morningside shopping centre. Had a couples dinner with some friends. Great ambience and decent service.
My wife and I enjoyed pasta dishes - I had the Fetuccine in a creamy mushroom and ham sauce (replacing the ham with chicken) and my wife had her favorite pasta dish (carbonara). Our friends had the rump steak and the grilled chicken breasts. Everyone throughly enjoyed their meals.
Dessert was a bit a letdown - the tiramisu was rather sweet and a little soggy for my liking. That was the only gripe I had with this place.
This was our first experience at Pomodoro on Saturday with the in-laws, we frequently visit the other restaurants in Morningside mall and love them all. Pomodoro has an amazing wine list but only a few cater for a single glass option. I had a white Chenin blanc which was delightful. For our food, my partner had the traditional Gli spaghetti allo scoglio which is tomato based pasta with prawn, mussels and calamari which was super tasty. I was most impressed by my option though - I am not a huge fan of tomato based pasta sauces so I asked if I could have the same option with a creamy white wine sauce. Lone behold my waiter took the order down with no reservation and brought it with all the other mains. This dish was the star - in my opinion better than the original and should be a menu item. A very good experience that wasn’t break the budget and the service was on point ♥️
Definitely will be back again x
It is the second time which I have been to the restaurant and it does not disappoin. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Their pizza and pasta are delicious. Most of the items uses simple ingredients, yet the flavour is just delicious.

07.03.2018 Buonissimo – the term used by the Owner Stefano, to describe the Vriesenhof dinner party, and I couldn’t agree more.
I’ve been to Morningside shopping centre many times but somehow missed this gem in the middle.
I got to experience the Vriesenhof Dinner Party, with a group of really fun and interesting people. Stefano the owner, was absolutely hands on all evening which made the evening even more special. When you see the passion someone has for the food that they produce, you know it is made with quality and love.
Our welcome drink to kick off the evening was the Vriesenhof un-wooded Chardonnay 2016 (Floral with hints of marzipan, lemon Zest and dried pear) which you could pick up.
To nibble we got the most delicious Focaccia bread, which one could easily over indulge in, with a smear of butter.
Starters was a delicious Calamari, Chorizo and Chickpea Crostini. Full of flavours and a nice crunch to the Crostini, and it went down REALLY well with the Vriesenhof Grenache 2016. If you know me, I am not usually a red wine fan, but OH my word, this one was really good. It was slight on the tongue and just had a great all round taste. I was really impressed with this one.
First course, consisted of Rigatoni with Fresh Mussels and Braised Fennel, and was paired with the Vriesenhof Chardonnay 2015. Personally, I needed the Rigatoni cooked a bit more, the fruity flavours paired really well with the wine.
Second course, probably the most prominent course. Madagascan Green Pepper Fillet with a Potato Gratin. Absolutely Bold flavours the Pepper sauce really gave it a kick. The fillet was a bit undercooked to what I normally would have (yes I’m one of those that normally need my meat completely dead) but I ate the pieces that were cooked a bit more and indulged in the taste thereof. This was paired with the Vriesenhof Kallista 2013, which is has aromas of red fruit with a smokey finish and has a slightly peppery taste.
Dessert - now here was a thing of beauty. Simple delicate Berries and Caramel Millefoglie (Italian version of a Mille-Feuille) filled with Berries that were not too tart, and drizzled with a divine Crème Anglaise to finish it off. This was finished off with the last wine for the evening, the Vriesenhof Pinot Noir 2015. Again the reds are not my thing, but going forward I will happily have the Grenache 2016, so I may be converting slightly to the red family.
Thanks to all that made this a memorable evening.
Completely speechless at how amazing the food is! Stephen kept checking on us and along with our waiter and owner Stefano we felt right at home. We'll definitely be returning very soon for some more exquisite food. A million thank yous.
Fine dining, Italian style restaurant with elegant decor. Tasty food with reasonable portions. Their fillet steak was so flavourful and tender and cooked to a perfect medium-well done as requested. It was so beautifully plated. The wait staff was accommodating and friendly, they paid attention to my preferences and ensured that my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The dim lighting and soothing background music created an upscale, relaxed atmosphere. A must-visit indeed! Lastly, their fries are to die for, crisp and light with very little oil. That was noteworthy for me
Good food but service could improve a bit. We were a large table so that was understandable. Tiramisu was underwhelming…
I love this restaurant! It's my go-to spot whether I'm dining alone, with my kids or friends. The food is consistently excellent, and it's super convenient to stop by after picking my kids up from school. We always order the best Margherita pizza, which reminds me of my time in Italy, and I can't get enough of either the veal or spinach & ricotta ravioli. The atmosphere is welcoming and cosy, and I always feel relaxed and happy there. The staff is always friendly and professional and goes above and beyond to make our experience terrific.
We ate here this is evening and I must say it was the BEST pasta we’ve had in a long time! The staff were friendly and the managers checked in on us a couple time which was reassuring and just all around lovely! Would highly recommend Pomodoro!!
Restaurant is busy, so, do reserve your table. In winter better ask for a inside table, it's much better.
Service is friendly and good...
The menu is vast and difficult to choose from: too much good stuff.
Portions are big and well served on hot dishes. Cooking time is in average 15 to 20 min... they really cook from scratch.
The Pork Chops were unforgettable...
A must visit Italian food restaurant.

This is an excellent establishment. The staff are super friendly and their service is great. Management is very hands on and always checks in on customers. The food is so yummy from the fresh focaccia, tasty starters, delicious mains and delectable desserts. I would highly recommend them for their parmesan filet, fresh salad and the most incredible almond tart 👏🏾
Situated inside Morningside Shopping Centre. Family enjoyed all their dishes. Highly recommend the calamari dish. Service was okay although you will wait a good while for your meal.
Been twice and love it. Food is amazing and full of flavour. Be sure to try out their chilli. Waiters are mature and knowledgeable and actually care about their clients. Looking forward to my next visit.
I had a lovely lunch at Pomodoro. My food (fillet and rocket side salad with delightful complimentary focaccia) was delicious. Dumie’s friendly and efficient service made the dining experience even better. He makes a difference with a smile and a positive attitude. Even the manager and the owner stopped by my table to ensure I enjoyed my lunch. Thank you, Dumie and Pomodoro, you have a great team. I will be back soon!
