Il Pomodoro Italian - Fort Myers

If I could give this place zero stars, I absolutely would. We often vacation in Fort Myers and have visited this restaurant multiple times. The service has consistently been poor to unfriendly, but we previously overlooked it because the veal was decent. Not anymore. My wife and I arrived at 6 PM, and there were only three tables occupied. The host attempted to seat us at a small table crammed into a corner with flimsy folding chairs. When I pointed out that this setup wasn’t suitable, he told us that was all they had because they were "busy." The restaurant was practically empty! The food is just average, and the service is perpetually mediocre. I can't believe it took me so long to warn everyone to steer clear of this place!

As for the main courses, most were good to great. The Salmon Gustoso was excellent, and the Linguine di Mare was also impressive. The Veal Cardinale was delicious, while the Cavatelli Arrabiatta was very good. The Chicken Parmigiano was decent, but nothing particularly special — I think I’ll try it next time with their homemade marinara sauce. I can't emphasize enough how attentive the staff was. They took a genuine interest in us, and the timing of the food service was just perfect. The staff was very friendly, which made the dining experience even better.

As a family, we first visited Il Pomodoro to celebrate a birthday, and we were truly impressed by the outstanding service provided by our server, Mary, and the manager, Randy. The food was incredible, and I will definitely return to try more of the delicious dishes on the menu. Thank you, Mary and Randy!

During this visit, we skipped any goodbyes to our old choices! The garlic rolls were fantastic, and the mussels appetizer was massive, perfect for sharing among the three of us. Our meals were all delicious! We even enjoyed them again the following Sunday! The mussels, grouper, and shrimp in lemon butter sauce were incredible! You really can’t miss out on this place! It’s family-owned and operated, which makes it even more special to support the little guy. It’s a must-visit if you're in Cape Coral, even if it requires a bit of a drive.

Absolutely amazing! my family and I were here to eat. they don't wait. super friendly staff and great eating. I have the Rigatoni-Bolognese that was incredible! everyone on my table loved eating!
