Rosso Pomodoro

Great place made by great people

I pass by this restaurant on a Monday evening and it happened to run a movie promotion so I went in with my girlfriend and we had the best pizza!
The dough was delicious and toppings out of this world, especially the tomato sauce and buffalo mozzarella.
Service was friendly and quick. Top marks!

Went there for dinner with some friends and it was a nightmare.

Got there at a reasonable time, 21:15. It took us 15 minutes to get a menu after being seated. We then ordered wine, and that was plonked on the table by a very rude waiter who didn't believe it was his duty to serve us. When we ordered we had to point at the menu for the waiter to understand our selection. One would expect such an establishment to have waiter who knows the menu.

After all that hassle, they still got my order wrong, gave me pizza instead of a calzone, although i had clearly pointed to the right item on the menu!

And when the menu came, it appeared that my friend who had ordered a mozzarella di buffola priced at 11 pounds (already quite pricey) , was actually served a special priced at an even more incredible 15.50 pounds.

Now as regular customers, we though it would be reasonable to have a word with the manager.

We were told that we were wrong, the pizza instead of calzone issue was my fault as I had made the mistake, and regarding the mozzarella we were told it was eaten so tough luck. We also believed the service to be poor so asked for the 18 pound service charge to be removed.

We were insulted and told we were cheap. Safe to say we won't be going there again.

So be warned, if you want an expensive dinner, bad service and an insult with your coffee this is the place to go.

the ambience was ok if are looking for the italian fast food...food? one of the worst pasta i ever had.
would not recommend it..

I've been to Rosso Pomodoro in Fulham about six times in the last two years. It was recommended to me by an Italian friend, who thought the pizza was as authentic as it gets; and I have to say he was probably right. The pizza is excellent, and in my opinion better than the one at Pizza Express. Desserts are also very good, but perhaps a little too expensive.
When drinking beer I always have a Peroni Gran Riserva, much richer in taste than the standard Peroni; I recommend it. Unfortunately, you still can't find it in many places.
The service is fairly quick, and most (or all) of the staff are Italian, and always attentive.

Central London/Covent Garden restaurant.

What promised to be an Italian culinary experience, slowly turned into a disappointment: We had to wait 1hr 15min for the starters to be served. Needless to say, the mood of our party had deteriorated considerably for the worse. I would have liked to comment on their pizzas, but instead decided to leave to have dinner elsewhere.

There is a lack of professional customer service.

I do not recommend this restaurant. There are a variety of other restaurants serving pizzas at better value, and probably at a quicker pace.
