| - Seeing the new places in the Heritage District has been great, and my husband and I have been trying as many of them as we can, as we like to keep our money in our town. Unfortunately, these new restaurants seem a bit pricy for Gilbert.
My husband and I ate at Pomo yesterday afternoon for an early dinner. The place was not crowded, and our server was awesome. We started with a couple of beers - Peroni for me and a German pils for my husband (side note: my husband is not a fan of these new "funky" craft beers so to have an authentic German pils on the menu was great) - and the caprese salad as an appetizer. The salad was very good, with thick tomatoes and mozzarella and basil.
For our entrees, we had the lasagne and the Bufala Verace pizza, as we prefer the bufala mozzarella. The lasagne was very good, with lots of meat layered with the noodles. Just a tad more sauce on it would have made it even better. The pizza was also quite tasty, with just enough crunch in the crust.
After we had finished our dinner, our server offered the dessert menu. I love Creme Brûlée and Tiramisu, so I was torn between those two choices. Our server, however, suggested I try the Panna Cotta instead, for something different. I'd never had it before so I cannot compare it to anywhere, but it was very good. You could see the vanilla bean in it, and it tasted really good with the accompanying blueberries, raspberries and sliced strawberries.
Why I am giving them a 3-star review, then? Well, our total, for 3 beers, appetizer, two entrees, dessert, and tip, was $91, which we feel is too much for downtown Gilbert, making Pomo a place we will only visit for more special occasions. (Zinburger is also very good but pricey as well.)
Hopefully Gilbert will add some more affordable casual restaurants so we can partake more frequently.
