| - Absolutely wonderful dinner tonight with my graduate daughter! DJ was our server once again - haven't been privileged to have him serve me the last few times I visited and was thrilled to reconnect tonight! Had an outstanding 2007 Borgogno Barolo - well balanced tannins and acidity, cherry and spice on both the nose and palate! Exceptional. DJ understood we desired to have a slow paced meal - his timing regarding taking our orders (we paced our orders course by course instead of ordering everything on the first approach) is a testament to a professional server who understands, respects, and anticipates appropriate timing in regards to interacting with his guests. He has mastered the ability to discern the definition of attentive service vs. interruptive service. He realized the wine was not 'up to temperature' and chilled our wine and monitored the chilling time. (I gave this 4 stars ONLY because it is the restaurant's responsibility to understand the temperature controlled environment of wines - DJ compensated for the restaurant's oversight on this matter.) Both the Formaggi and Salume boards were spot on. My daughter requested the gnocchi with a 'rosemary brown butter sauce' and the Chef was very accommodating in fulfilling her request to perfection! Thank you, Chef. I ventured out of my pizza zone for the first time and ordered the Strozzapreti and it was exceptional. House made pasta cooked to al dente perfection, with Italian sausage, tomato sauce, rosemary and parmesean. WOW! Take a bite, let it rest on your tongue, understand the flavors of what you are starting to experience! The texture of the pasta, the tomato and spices in the sauce, the rosemary, experience the tangy, saltiness of the parmesean - this dish is amazing! Then, take a drink of that amazing Barolo and you are in Italian Heaven. In 8 years of dining here, this is the first time I chose a pasta over the pizza. (There restaurant has been Certified by Napoli, Italy as true Italian - that certification is only granted to a few restaurants in the US and stringent guidelines must be followed; type of oven, certain products must be imported from Italy, etc.) This restaurant is CONSISTENT. And POMO's consistency is the reason I have been dining here for the past 8 years. We shared an Affogoto for desert - gelato with espresso and coffee liquor - perfect finish to an amazing dinner. Thank you, DJ, for making my daughter's graduation dinner a perfect ending to her academic career!
