Pomodo was a clean, well staffed and a well decorated restaurant it was approximately one third full (due to it being a Monday night). The menu was extensive with a vast number of meal options available (inclusive of Vegan) to suit almost any palette. English menus were also made available which made the meal selection process a lot easier. Meal prices across the menu were reasonable and on par with surrounding restaurants. We quickly placed our order as our children were quite hungry. The order was simple: three drinks, a margherita, a basic tomato based pasta, a rustic chicken dish and veal fillets in a white wine sauce. The drinks arrived almost immediately. However, after waiting for approximately 25 minutes for the meals, I gestured to the waiter whom advised that they were on the way he then brought us some table bread. After another 5 or so minutes the meals finally arrived. Every meal we received was quite flavorsome and fresh; serving sizes were acceptable. The only disappointment was the veal, which was quite tough; however the flavor was exceptional. Personally I could not finish the veal due to it’s texture and ended up finishing the remainder of my child’s pasta (which was exceptional). On another note, the only proactive service we received from the wait staff was: the initial greeting/seating, taking the order, drink/meal delivery and the removal of plates. All other contact was initiated by myself. Personally I would have liked more attentiveness and to have had someone check in to assess if we needed anything else or to enquire about our meals. I will probably visit Pomodo again before I depart Agropoli to give them another try. I do hope that this was an “out of the ordinary” experience as I do feel that this restaurant probably does deserve 5 stars however in this instance it would have been inappropriate for me to award 5 stars.

The staff made no effort at all to engage with us. The food took a long time and the quality wasn’t brilliant. The wine was ok and good value for money. Wouldn’t recommend it.

On the first evening my wife and I both had salads to start followed by grilled chicken breast for my wife and a pizza for me. The salads were simple but ok, while my pizza was pretty good. The chicken breast was really well cooked (not dry) and seasoned. Sadly enough it was one of the best things we ate in 10 days around Napoli. So we went again the next day and I had a salmon and walnut pasta dish which was full of flavour followed by grilled veal which was tough and almost inedible. In contrast my wife had a milanese cutlet which was delicious. Also, this restaurant had a great selection of beer to choose from. And it was fairly cheap. So I would definitely go back, although not for the veal...

The staff are extremely attentive and efficient. The restaurant is just off the main street in the higher end of Agropoli. We were served as though we were 'special ' visitors and they were never rushed as they looked very keen to please. Pompidou is great for children too. The staff are so helpful, but the pasta pizza,we ate were plentifu, made fresh and delicious. We shall be back next year. 5/5.
