Restaurant Il Pomodoro — Restaurant in Berga

Family-ran business (or at least that was our impression). We had pizza, salad and a "croquetas" tapa for starters, mineral water, brownie and coffee. We arrived rather early,around 19:45 and it was empty, only a small queue of people waiting for their take away orders. We were asked to sit in a table by the counter and the aisle where people were queueing up, and we asked to sit in a more quiet corner and it was accepted. The service was rather fast and friendly, table was disinfected in front of us, and prepared for us to sit right away. Its not a place to linger around or to enjoy a very long conversation over your meal. The room is rather small and the permanent movement of waiters tending the outside terrace and the queue for take-away makes it a rather busy and buzzing atmosphere, so you feel a bit pressured to eat quickly and go, to release the table for other customers, especially since you can feel that it's a real family-ran business that needs to make te vest of their limited sitting capacity available. The food was overall ok, but their were a couple of negatives: 1. The salad was big enough for 2 people to share but it was pricey (aprox. 10 euro), on the same level as Barcelona, and it was just olives, lettuce, tuna and small bits of avocado. So nothing fancy, neither in contents, nor in preparation, so it felt too much to pay almost 10€ ; 2. Pizza was quite good and crunchy but again it was expensive - 12€ ; 3. We had a brownie for dessert and the dough didn't really taste or look like a brownie but more like a chocolate cupcake. Still, not bad. So, bottom line: a nice, regular place but given the limitations of space, number of customers and table rotation needs might not be the best choice if you want to eat and relax over a long conversation and actually enjoy your food in a quiet atmosphere and without the pressure of people queuing up...

Un servicio de primera, comida estupenda, pizzas... deliciosas es poco, pudiendo personalizarlas al gusto. Hemos pedido de todo, tanto pizzas, como ensaladas, raciones y bebidas, presentación bien cuidada, buena cantidad y sabroso a más no poder. En algún momento se les ha ido la luz (para nada culpa suya) y nos informaron al momento de que había ciertos platos que no iban a poder prepararnos (las pizzas sí porque van en horno de piedra), ofreciendo alternativas y disculpandose por las molestias, por suerte volvió la luz y pudimos comer todo lo que pedimos (una vez más, no les culpo, es más, muy buena reacción). Todo eso con una terraza llena y dos camarer@s, l@s cuales atendieron todas nuestras demandas con una actitud ejemplar. Volvería todas las semanas, incluso a diario si no viviera a 7h del local. Hace mucho que no como tan bien y me siento tan a gusto comiendo fuera de casa, chapeau 10/10 a todos, camareros y cocineros, muchísimas gracias por todo, volveré a Berga solo...

Un desastre desde la reserva de la mesa a la cuenta. No apuntaron la reserva, 1 h para sentarnos, 1h para pedir... Etc... Iban tan lentos q otra mesa se fue sin pedir y a nosotros nos falto un pelo. La pizza estaba buena, pero después de dos horas no entraba tan bien, el servicio pésimo, el resto de mesas estaban igual. Encima la jefa echando la culpa al pobre chaval jovencito q dudo q pudiera trabajar legalmente y era un mandado, pero todo era culpa del niño.... Penoso. Mil anécdotas para contar y hacer unas risas, que al final es lo que nos llevamos. No volveré... Un no parar de cagadas i recagadas..... Si quereis vivir una experiencia unica, podeis ir, sino el gallego de al lado, tenía...
