Pomodoro

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

Authentic Italian cuisine served by a friendly owner and staff who makes sure to check on patrons throughout. Highly recommend getting their in house Italian beer, too

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.

I ordered 4 servings of the Penne With Prawn and Tequila via the Uber Eats app. In the list of options I requested that the pasta be tagliatelle instead, and kindly requested that the serving of prawn be fair, not extra, fair. Upon receiving my order, which cost me R672 I found the boxes containing Penne, rather than the Tagliatelle, and the prawn meat, oh my word!!! They were almost non existent. After prodding the pasta, I found what was literally just a few shrimp size pieces of prawn meat thrown in. So I basically wasted R672 on tubs of Penne tossed in some tomato-based sauce that looks so amateur, and a few sprinkles of prawn bits for goodwill. I haven't yet tasted it, but there really isn't much to look forward to. What a huge disappointment Pomodoro. Epic fail!

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! Parking: Safe parking inside the Morningside Shopping Centre.

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 pizza and it was nothing to write home about. Lacked taste and if I didn't know what I ordered, I would have had no clue what I was eating, bland and lacked taste. The steaks were not great but the pork belly was good. I would not rush back in a hurry and would rather choose another place. Was not blown away.Food: 2/5

Great service from our waiter named Never . The rest of the staff and manager were pleasant always greeting you with a warm smile. The food was very well prepared, and seasoned. The food portions were almost perfect . Will recommend anyone to try the menu out. I'll most definitely be returning again.

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.
