As an avid pizza lover and restaurant connoisseur, I found my expectations surpassed during my visit, and I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience.

The moment you step into Il Pomodoro, you are met with a welcoming, friendly ambiance. The restaurant's decor is charming and rustic, echoing the warm hues of an Italian summer sunset, creating an instantly inviting atmosphere. But it's not just the decor that's inviting.

But let's get to the heart of Il Pomodoro - its incredible food. The pizza here is nothing short of phenomenal. The wood-fired oven, an integral part of the open kitchen, delivers pizza with a robust, smoky flavor, the dough offering the perfect balance of crunch and chew. Each slice carries the trademark of a truly authentic Italian pizza: a thin, crispy base topped with quality, fresh ingredients.

Il Pomodoro's menu boasts a variety of pizza, but my personal recommendation would be their Giallo. It is a symphony of classic and modern flavors that attests to the beauty of Italian cuisine.

The location only amplifies the experience at Il Pomodoro. Situated near the red light district of Stuttgart, the restaurant is surrounded by lively bars and beautiful cityscape. Whether you opt for indoor or outdoor seating, the view offers a gorgeous backdrop to your meal.

I had such high expectations from this place but it failed to meet it.

We live right by there and always see many people dining here. We decided to come here for our anniversary.

We got tomato soup, minestrone soup, pizza Margherita and seafood pasta.

Tomato soup - 2 out of 5. The taste was on the sweeter side. Wish it had a little more taste.

Minestrone soup - 3 out of 5. The taste was okay, the vegetables were still on the harder side. We've had much better in the area

Pizza Margherita- 2 out of 5. I had SO much hope for this and was excited for it but when it came out it wasn't cooked fully, was still doughy and the tomato sauce was tasteless.

Seafood pasta - 2 out of 5. The seafood pasta is majority clams and mussels (for those wondering) with a few pieces of shrimp. There wasn't much taste and the pasta was still on the harder side.

Conclusion - We REALLY had high hopes but it failed us. We MAY try them again because they have woodfire pizza but there are other places in the area we'd much rather go to...

We had a great dining experience here at IL Pomodoro. There wasn't a kids menu, but you could ask for smaller portions. The pizza was delicious as was the pumpkin special offered that night we visited. Of course, we saved room for dessert and shared delicious tiramisu, cannoli (one of they largest I've seen around town), and a berry frozen dessert served in a parfait dish. Clean restrooms upstairs. Extensive wine list.

Update: Today wasn't as good as in previous visits. We sat at our table for almost 10 minutes before someone came over to ask our order. I ordered the spicy shrimp dish and they were all severely overcooked. I had to wait for a long time for my dinner to arrive and couldn't finish it because it was so off-putting. The woman's bathroom was a mess and looked as if no one checked on it all night. We were really excited to come here and bring an out of town guest. Needless to say, they were...
