I'm originally from NJ, Italian all the way & have VERY high expectations regarding "good" Italian food. My husband & I met friends for dinner at Pomo. I was skeptical but the food not only met but exceeded & happily surprised my tastebuds!!! I took a bite of the meatball appetizer & was instantly transported back to being seven years old in my grandmother's kitchen; it tasted just like hers!! I ordered the Vesuvio calzone & my palate was delighted with the brightness of fresh basil combined with the creamy ricotta & savory mushrooms surrounded by a tasty, gently crisped dough. My husband had the lasagna which was exceptional as well!! Even the cafe latte was delicious (my hubby ordered 2!) and we finished our meal with a creamy, fresh pana cotta that was both light & refreshing!! We will ABSOLUTELY be returning & look forward to trying more of the items on the menu!!
