Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The Carbonara shines as a top choice on the menu, with many describing it as the best they've tasted. The Tiramisu receives high praises too—almost better than mom's, according to regulars. Diners appreciate the warm, friendly service that feels natural and personal. The carefully curated wine list complements the meal beautifully, enhancing the overall dining experience. Patrons often highlight the delightful atmosphere and engaging staff who make you feel right at home. Happy hour specials add an extra layer of enjoyment, allowing guests to savor delicious food and drinks at a great value.
Most Disliked
The intimate space can feel a bit loud, especially during busy hours, which may detract from some diners' enjoyment. Limited seating can be a drawback, leading to many being turned away without reservations. Menu choices are somewhat constrained, but this focus on quality ensures that every dish is thoughtfully prepared. Some diners may find that wait times can exceed expectations, particularly when the kitchen is busy during peak serving times. Other guests have mentioned the need for more dessert options beyond the exquisite Tiramisu.

Simply Recommended, but book 1st. We dropped in and got really really lucky on a Thursday. Many were simply turned away. A team of three work this 20 seat Falmouth frontage like machines, yet still working and engaging every customer. With no soft furnishings this small restaurant is loud. Sardinian / Italian atmospherics that flow through the kitchen, food, service, creativity, flavours but mainly your palet engagement. Beautiful food, passionately prepared, portioned like mamas family table and flavoured like a 50 year old family recipe. The wine was perfect, suitably selected for the food. Garlic bread and fries were another level. GO, ENJOY and REVIEW.

We have been traveling in the UK for two weeks the Pomodoro experience is easily the best holistic dining experience we have had. Everything from the food to the service and the conversations with the staff was just fantastic. Highly recommended. Cheers and enjoy

Hands down the best traditional Carbonara I've tasted in the UK. If I had the option I would be having it every single day, absolutely no regrets. Service was amazing and personal without being forced, just human and natural. Also, the Tiramisu was better than my mother's but noone tell her that.

They are both attentive and friendly. The food is EXCELLENT, and very authentic. Limited choice (which is good) and all prepared and cooked fresh. This is a great Italian restaurant, even the ambiance is authentic.

Went in for lunch, the reception was very warm and friendly. The service was attentive and swift, and the food was absolutely delicious, and we were even given complimentary appetisers and coffee creams. Our expectations were vastly exceeded! Cannot recommended highly enough, what a wonderful spot for a date.
