Trattoria Pomodoro Hanoi — Restaurant in Hà Nội

I had been wanting to dine here for months and finally we set the time to do it. The manager graciously decorated the table with flowers for our bday occasion , and even added a flower to every other table. Food was served without a long waiting time, and each dish presentation is super clean. I was surprised at a couple of things tonight, first that no bread is served with the pasta, which would have been a really nice touch, and no small bread or apertif crackers come with the salumi platter. Secondly, the sausage rigatoni was overly tough to chew despite ordering al dente. Unfortunately they were not serving lasagna that evening so we opted for rigatoni instead.

You have a choice of sitting inside with air conditioning or outside in their upstairs patio. The patio is a prettier setting for dinner, but if it's hot might not be...

The owner seems very passionate and the food we got was good, but it was not the authentic Italian food we were looking for. We had a hard time choosing food because most of the food didn't even sound good. The owner said he tries to combine local Vietnamese and Italian food, so it's a fusion restaurant. In my opinion having visited Italy multiple times, don't mess with Italian food, it's already perfect. The restaurant lacked Italian classics and instead had things like blueberry pizza and jackfruit apple caprese. It's also very expensive for Vietnam, a salad was 400k VND for example. Even in Rome Italy a salad isn't...
