Pomodoro in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Please go here! Although the food is not the best and the atmosphere neither, this place has potential. I believe with increasing their portion sizes and decreasing their price by a small percentage they would gain massively. Please help to get this message across! I love the idea but a larger menu and larger portions is key! It really can't cost enough to outweigh the gain from larger portions.

This is must visit restaurant in Falmouth - incredibly impressive food (the best Italian food I've ever eaten) and lovely service. We enjoyed sitting in the window and watching the world go by.

Staying in Falmouth for a few days and loving Italian food - and having read the TripAdvisor reviews! - we had to eat here - and are very pleased we did as it was the best meal we had in Falmouth. Some of the best (and biggest!) scallops I’ve ever had and delicious rice balls for my husband started the meal on a high note and the excellence continued with our various linguine dishes. We were almost full but couldn’t resist sharing a very good tiramisu before our coffees. The wine list is small and (I think) solely Sardinian, but we enjoyed the bottle of white the very helpful waiter (owner?) helped us choose. The service was as good as the food. The decor is very plain but brightened up by some great paintings. It is very small so booking is highly recommended - the evening we were there, several people were turned away. Thank you to the staff / owners for such an excellent evening.

Excellent authentic Italian food.

Popped in for an early dinner, best scallops we have ever had, the tiramisu was to die for, super friendly service, would consider moving here to be able to visit more often 😀

Sardinian top cuisine! The ragu was superb, as was the tiramisu and the lemon semi fredo. Topped off with a tasty limoncello. Thumbs up to the creator and the kitchen.

We are really happy that the new people running Pomodoro have made this a good local venue. Davide and his team provide superb Sardinian based food, and he is a great host - a great addition to the food offering in Falmouth which I'm happy to recommend. Short menu with regularly changing specials, and the view out of the window is always interesting....

I thoroughly enjoyed the meal at Pomodoro, and so did my whole group. I’d never been to Pomodoro before, and I only went there because I couldn’t get a booking at other restaurants so I thought that I’d try it. I wasn’t expecting much, and tbf the interior is not particularly plush, but the food was great, I couldn’t stop eating, and neither could the rest of my group. The staff are attentive and fun, and the general ambiance was very agreeable. This has added a surprise arrow to my normal ‘quiver’ of preferred restaurants in Falmouth. I’m so glad that other restaurants were fully booked and we came here by ‘default’, what a pleasant surprise, will definitely eat here many times again.

Lovely food and welcoming owner/staff! Don’t be put off by the basic interior, it’s all you need when the food is so good! Probably better when busy for atmosphere.

If you want to feel and taste a real and authentic Italian meal experience, this is the place! I loved my linguine allo scoglio, fresh seafood, good Sardinia beer in a quite humble space, cute and cozy, while listening Dave's stories about his native Sardinia land. For a moment I felt like home 🏡 🇮🇹

Fantastic Sardinian restaurant, very unique and authentic as wine, beers etc... all Sardinian. Now open for lunch Thursday to Saturday as we'll as evenings. Fabulous food and staff very friendly. Would book in advance as its a small restaurant but very popular.

Davide and the team go out of the way to accommodate. food is superb, authentic italian, A must to try and have the Tiramisu for dessert!

A great addition to the Falmouth dining offering, we have eaten here twice recently; for us as locals it is good news to see a good local Italian (Sardinian) restaurant open, and we are happy to recommend it to everyone. Davide is a wonderful host, and the food is terrific; we've had various pasta dishes as main courses (there are often specials available), but have stuck with the arancini as starters. Its a small menu but there's nothing wrong with that! Highly recommended.

Genuine Italian cuisine served in a friendly atmosphere. Davide looks after his guests very well.

Went for an incredible lunch here today. The food was really authentic and extremely tasty. Davide couldn’t do enough. Very friendly good service. Will definitely be going again. Thank you.

Food was good, restaurant was small more like a cafe, my calamari was overcooked (they weren't busy).

A fabulous little restaurant with a very friendly and obliging host. Very tasty food, the highlight of which was amazing tiramisu beautifully presented in the top half of a traditional espresso maker. Highly recommended

Wonderful little place for a Italian dinner in Falmouth. Small but perfectly formed. Sardinian specials are excellent and the house white delicious. Davide is great front of house. Highly recommended.

Authentic Italian cuisine, we ate a Sardinian speciality and truly loved it. God bless the malloreddus!

This was our first visit and we’ll be back! Despite having a full house, Davida was the perfect host and his chef’s food was beautifully prepared and cooked to perfection. A lovely night out for our friends’ 30th wedding anniversary!

A small Sardinian restaurant, the chef/server was really interested in the food he was serving, happy to talk about it and even let me taste a sauce we were discussing. The wine was good and I would go back again.

Food is exceptional! Staff are very friendly 😊 we had the ragu beef, the pomodoro and a side of garlic bread - best garlic bread ever!

You could easily walk past Pomodoro without noticing that it was there. This would be a huge mistake if you wanted a lovely, traditional, Italian meal. The menu is full of typical Sardinian dishes, each well cooked and tasty. The wine, all Sardinian, is well priced, and pairs perfectly with the food. Finally the service is friendly and caring. Go there. You won’t be disappointed

Great freshly cooked food, nice atmosphere and great service. Best tiramisu I’ve ever had!

Authentic italian food, cooked with fresh ingredients. Prompt and attentive service. This is a gem in Falmouth and a must visit place. Will definitely come back!

A classic local Italian restaurant, lovely tasty food served with a smile. Special shout out to Davide as he made this a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, very authentic Sardinian. We were a large group so a challenge for a small restaurant like this - but they were amazing and we had a lovely meal!

Davide is a great host and the food is delicious. This is our third time here and it’s been consistently great every time. I’d highly recommend it for an authentic Sardinian Italian experience.

Amazing birthday meal for 9 of us, truly authentic Sardinian delicious food with a lovely atmosphere, thank you.

Thanks guys, everything was delicious 😁👏

This place is all about the food. It was simply amazing, by far the best Italian I have eaten. Service was genuinely friendly. Will definitely be going again.

Cafe style Italian restaurant. We were on a 3 day stay in Falmouth and rang to reserve our table. On arriving, the restaurant seemed a bit basic but we were soon glad that we had stayed. The proprietor, Davide, made us feel very much at home and explained the menu for us. Although it is a small menu, Davide devised it in order to provide freshly cooked rather than re-heated frozen dishes. I can recommend the seafood sharing platter and the homemade tiramisu, also the Sardinian non-filtered beer. Our evening was a happy experience from start to finish. Thank you.

Lovely, authentic Italian restaurant. Great food and always a friendly welcome from the manager. I keep going back to this little gem in Falmouth. Not to be missed!

My best friend & I came here for a ‘galentines’, cannot recommend this place enough! Food was to die for & our lovely waiter (who I never caught the name of) was very attentive. Absolutely will be back again & I will keep bringing my friends here, it’s my new go to spot!

What an amazing place. Davide is an amazing host, friendly, helpful and very welcoming. The menu had a small selection of meals for vegetarian, pasta, fish, etc, but they were very well selected, giving a good choice. The restaurant was small, but the atmosphere created by David was fabulous. The meals we had were quality and outstanding. I cannot put into words what an incredible experience my Mother, son and I had this evening. We often eat out and I have to say that the food here is some if the best I have tasted anyway in this country, let alone Cornwall. I would definately recommend this restaurant. It is one of the gems of Cornwall. We will definately be going whenever we are near Falmouth. A definate treat. Best book though. Thank you Davide for a special experience.

Absolutely exceptional meal. The menu is very well thought out, offering a good number of options, with a healthy variety of different types of meal for a number of tastes, without being overwhelmed for choice. Every aspect of the meal was cooked beautifully, the choices of wine were sevond to none, and the Chef Davide himself was an absolute gent, and clearly and deservedly takes a lot of pride in his work. His tiramisu has managed to wow us as the best we've ever had... and that is by no means a small feat. Excellent service with a very pleasant atmosphere. To say we accidently found it while looking for somewhere to eat in the Cornish rain, we ended up finding an excellent restaurant we will be heartily recommending to anyone looking to eat in Falmouth.

What a find! Delicious authentic Sardinian food prepared by the charming head chef and manager of this lovely little restaurant. We both had the trio of ravioli starter then the pesce sharing board and enjoyed every mouthful. The house wine was excellent - better than many far more expensive bottles we’ve had elsewhere. A warm and friendly atmosphere - the patron even chased us down the street with my husband’s hat that he’d left behind. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and friendly service. The tiramisu was so good I ordered two!

I cannot recommend this place enough. I only wish I took photos! I had the special fennel pork pasta with tomato which was seasoned to perfection, I ate it all! I also had aranchinis which were perfect. Everything was presented beautifully too & the house red was gorgeous. The owner was so welcoming and calm and friendly, he even shared some of his food he had just cooked himself with us. You won’t regret visiting!

The wine, the food and the service here is outstanding 👌🏼 highly recommend visiting this place if you’re coming to Falmouth and like Italian food! One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time

Great Sardinian / Italian food in the heart of Falmouth. Super service and friendly staff. It was cold when we went and they are about to revamp the interior

An authentic Italian/Sardinian restaurant in Falmouth! The food and service were both fantastic; everything was freshly cooked and beautifully presented and served with warmth and friendly attention. All our pasta dishes were fresh and delicious, but the tiramisu was a triumph! Thank you, Davide and team.

Fantastic, tasty food! Very friendly and welcoming front of house/chef! Will definitely return! Food is freshly cooked. Would recommend the Tiramisu!!

What a fantastic restaurant and a great addition to Falmouth. One of the most authentic Italian food experiences I have had outside of Italy, a great warm welcome in arrival, great front of house and nice to meet the chef and see how passionate he is about the food he serving. My new Falmouth favourite and already looking to when we can go back.

Just adding to the amazing reviews this place already has- I couldn't recommend it .ore if you love authentic Italian food, attention to detail and great costumer service. The place is not pretentious at all, Davide makes you feel at home. We'll be back for sure!

Davide is the best, the food is authentic and extremely tasty and the atmosphere is great! Probably the best carbonara and tiramisu in the area and one of the best in the country! See you again mate! S*** P**** Te F** ** ***😂🥂❤️

Fabulous food and dining experience. We had an amazing meal, paired with delicious wine. Davide was a superb host. We had scallops (best i have ever had) and the special was incredible (octopus and pancetta linguine) thank you for a night we won’t forget.

Booked two weeks in advance because in previous years tables are hard to come by on a Saturday evening. Patron had 'lost' our booking and given away our table. He managed to sort it our. The place has changed hands since we were last here and the new owner is struggling a bit. Not just the mislaid booking but we had the last bottle of white wine on the premises. I heard other tables were not too happy. However, having said that, the food was excellent and the new owner is obviously very keen to make a go of it. We will go back in 2024 and see how he's getting on.

We came with expectations of a good,authentic Italian meal after a long journey and reading the reviews. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. The restaurant was cold and the music was monotonous. But the biggest disappointment was when the food came the portion s were the smallest I have ever had in an Italian restaurant. Not only that but our Carbanara was lukewarm. Both children were hungry and my son in law too and we e ded up in the kebab Dow the road which was actually very good.

Stunningly good food, just how a restaurant should work - honest, fun and well priced.

Celebrated my sixtieth and was made to feel oh so special. The food was unbelievable and the tiramisu simply to die for. Everything tasted fresh and just gorgeous. Highly recommended

Perfect Evening and very very good Food. Friendly service

Lovely staff, food is amazing and will certainly be back. So glad we found this place.

This is a tiny restaurant and it is essential to book but worth the effort. The pasta is freshly made and tastes like being in Italy. There were some unusual dishes on the menu, as well as the familiar, with good choices for vegetarians. Portions were so generous we didn't make it to dessert!

Amazing food at an amazing restaurant, the carbonara was my winner for choice and it did not disappoint. For the dessert the tiramisu was outstanding. The front of house staff were very pleasant also. 10/10.

Great little restaurant specialising in very tasty Sardinian food! Excellent selection of dishes on the menu (I'll be visiting lots as am local so looking forward to trying them all!) and a great selection of Sardinian wine. The restaurant has a relaxed friendly atmosphere with...

I came here with a few friends and we were pleasantly surprised. The menu was simple and effective, providing us with a fantastic Italian experience. Loved all of the food, especially the mozzarella! Will be back!

Callum & his staff catered for 14 of my family for a birthday, they changed the seating plan for us and were attentive to us throughout the three hours we were there. The food was delicious and came out in good time regardless of the amount of orders. The waitress looked after us all and was quick to attend to any issues. Would recommend Pomodoro to anyone visiting Falmouth. 10/10.

Beautiful restaurant and very good traditional Sardinian food cuisine…. Staff was amazing. Will be coming back very soon

Davide was a fantastic host and chef! Can absolutely recommend - delicious food and atmosphere

We visited pomodoro after spotting it the previous evening and were glad we did, a really authentic Sardinian dining experience and an owner who really takes pride in his work. The food was excellent in a lovely setting. 👌🏻

A personal feeling dining experience with attentive staff and quality food. The chef obviously too pride in his work and even took time to come over to our table to speak about his food. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing food and lovely team. Thank you!

Great to see this little Italian restaurant specialising in Sardinian food open again under new management. Great tasting freshly prepared food well presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We also thought the sharing platers taken to other tables looked very appetising. Great atmosphere and service,...

Glad to see Pomodoro has reopened. Among Falmouth's restaurant offerings, Falmouth is missing an Italian restaurant, never mind a decent one. We decided on an impromptu supper visit as we walked past, and we had a lovely meal. There was a little wait for the...

Food was lovely - we had steak and a pasta dish. Chef rustled up a blue cheese sauce to go with the steak which was great! Service was a bit slow but it was their first night after being closed for refurb. Reasonably priced. Would...

10/10 Italian food. Service with a smile would highly recommend

Food was good. Service was good, but the tiramisu was very disappointing. Have visited once but shall not be returning as the restaurant is very small and not easily accessible for a disabled person. A shame it is not a bit bigger.

Had a table booked for 8pm today. Arrived there’s just now and the restaurant is closed. But we went in personally to book YESTERDAY!! Unbelievable!

Starters were tasty but main meal disappointing, very tastless for Italian food and only pasta on offer pizza were not available.

Very poor and dissapointing experience for party of 6, 50% of main meals came out cold, waitress had a couldn't care less attitude from the moment we arrived chef never appeared to resolve issues and owner contacted me once next day after I wrote to complain, not to apologise but to tell me how wrong we were about our experience. Dreadful place and attitude.

Great food, wine & service Bit different to most Italian restaurants in that the dishes and wine were all Sardinian I don't eat meat but examples on the pasta side were ravioli with wild boar meat, a pasta with fennel sausage - one with grey mullet roe Decent veggie & vegan options Plus a particularly amazing red wine

Decent veggie & vegan options - had a great, Sardinian-style pizza I don't eat meat but examples on the pasta side were ravioli with wild boar meat & a pasta with fennel sausage Seafood-wise, a linguine, I think it was, with clams & grey mullet...

Great little restaurant, food was lovely and tasted really fresh, it had a personalized feeling to the service due to the restaurant being small but will definitely go back

Lovely Italian (Sardinian) food. We hope the chef stays!!

We visited Pomodoro after having the restaurant highly recommended and it was excellent! The welcome was really friendly and it was a busy evening but the service stayed warm professional and attentive. We had the Caprese salad which was a good size and tasted delicious. The spaghetti carbonara was the best i have ever had … if you manage to find room for a dessert the choice is good and recommended the strawberry and nutella focaccia.. delish!! Great wine, limoncello wonderful ambiance and fantastic service well worth a tip !! its a must in Falmouth and recommend booking ahead!

You need to book as it's a tiny restaurant. Authentic Italian dishes, good wine list. Good service. We had a great meal and left full and happy.

What a lovely little restaurant quality food great service totally enjoyed our night. Thank you.

This is real (Italian) Sardinian food . Loved the food and had a tremendous evening . Really fun . A very special place . Will return soon

What a lovely little restaurant quality food and great service. Totally enjoyed our night thank you.

The best restaurant i have been to in over 10 years! Amazing food including delicious unusual vegetarian options, lovely atmosphere and decor and wonderful staff. Just wished we loved closer.

Amazing food, a true Italian experience a little part of Italy in Falmouth.

Went with high hopes as it looks like a lovely restaurant from the outside and reviews are good. However, the meal was really bad. The white wine wasn't chilled. Starters were poor - mozzarella caprese salad should have been an easy win, but the tomatoes were watery and bland - maybe frozen? Absolutely no flavour. I had a vegetarian main (forgotten name) that was horrendous. Almost inedible and had to leave half the plate. We'd gone with the intention of having dessert but after the starters and main there was no hope left. It just seemed like low quality produce was used to make bad meals. For an Italian restaurant, the alarm bells ring when simple things like tomatoes, Olive, mozzarella and wine taste bad. Genuinely the worst meal we've had out. A real shame because from the outside it looks like a really nice restaurant.

Great place you need to book for sure, small restaurant with fabulous Sardinian food - staff /owner delightful - thank you

Everything about this place was first rate. The waitresses were very welcoming. We were bought a couple of appetisers, some dipping bread and olives free of charge after we had ordered. We both has bruschetta for starter which was really tasty. I then had Ravioli...

A really high quality Italian restaurant. Small with less than 20 covers but expect excellent traditional Italian delicacies. A family feel to it due to the small size and the atmosphere feels like a local Sicilian restaurant, with a good choice of pasta dishes and...

Complete amateurs - went in for a pizza, they only offer deep fried calzones , but they were off because they had ran out of mozzarella ! So ordered a crab linguini - also off as they had ran out of crab !! So ordered...

The best wine we tasted in Falmouth (house red). Great service and fabulous food. Try the Foccaia and Nutella desert! Or the Tiramisu served in a coffee percolator top! The food is original and inventive. Great fun too.

After reading all the reviews, we we very disappointed with is place. We had to wait for over an hour to get our first course. Two tables came, had their food before we got anything - with no update/apology. Two of us had pizza, expecting...

Fantastico. Trust me I'm italian. This was the best meal I've tasted in a long time. Since mamma used to cook meals at home many years ago. Well done guys. Grazie mille. Gusto buonisimo.

Fantastic service, delicious mains and desserts.

Nice cute little Italian restaurant, is a must to try if you visit Falmouth!!! 👍👍👍👍

Went here with some friends a week ago and we were all blown away. Amazing service, delicious food with generous portions. It’s cute and small but it packs a punch! We loved it.

Best meal ive had so far in Falmouth Horse meat was amazing , just reminded me of Italy . Very good price

Had an absolutely delicious meal last night.. Excellent service and very friendly. Thank you 😊

Very nice shared seafood platter at a very reasonable price.

Good food,just make sure you book so as not to be disappointed

A great find in Falmouth. The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. The waiter ( owner?) was friendly and welcoming and interacted with his customers. It is very tiny, so if there are over 6 of you, it would be a good idea to call...
