  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!

  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 :-)
