| - Tried out Pomo with some friends last night. We had a great time and were excited to try out one of the newer restaurants in Gilbert.
We had a 30 minute wait on a Wednesday, so we bellied up to the outside bar while we waited for our table to be ready. The pom Lemondrop was amazing. Refreshing, well made, but a small serving for the price. It won't stop me from ordering it again, just wish it were a larger size. Deserts were also great. We got 4 different ones between us and they were all better than we expected. The appetizer caprese was under seasoned (well, not seasoned) and came with a broken balsamic vinegar dispenser instead of a reduction already applied. This created a mess on our table, our plates and our hands. The waitress admitted that it was broken when we pointed it out to her, but the damage was done. The pizzas were only okay. My friends who shared the Margherita pizza said it was bland and had no seasoning on it. I shared the sausage and mushroom white pizza. It had good flavor, but was light on toppings and was very oily due to the cheese and mushrooms. The pesto is amazing, however, so make sure you order some of that to go with the bread ( hat they charge $2 for).
We were also disappointed that they 'served' canned parmesan cheese, as we all expected fresh ground since they claim to be authentic Italian.
The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was fun, but with mediocre food I'm not sure if we will be rushing back. It may end up being a good happy hour stop though.
