Pomodoro Italian Grill and Seafood is a higher end Italian Restaurant located just above Phoenix in Cave Creek Arizona. They offer appetizers, salads, fresh made pastas, fish and shellfish dinners, various meat dinners and a luxury tomahawk ribeye.

From the exterior to the interior it’s a very western looking restaurant like most things in the small Western Town of Cave Creek.

The tables are set with crisp linen, glassware, heavy silverware, a candle, and hand made plates.

They start you off with complimentary crusty bread and oil.

In interior of the bread is fluffy, moist and sort of sweet………It’s good but unique. I’ve never tasted bread like this in an Italian restaurant.

We started out by sharing the tasting trio of pastas (cacio e pepe, Pomodoro, and carbonara). To me this pasta is different. It is a different style with less tooth to it. The pastas are good but also are all unique and a little different from other similar pastas out there. My favorite of the trio is the Pomodoro (middle). The Pomodoro was made with very sweet farm fresh tomatoes and it’s laced with creamy rich cheese. It’s a more flavorful Pomodoro pasta than most out there because the pasta is also infused with tomato.

For dinner I had the Chilean Sea Bass.

The plump meaty mild fish was pan seared and was served over a stack of fresh grilled vegetables and was topped with a lemon butter caper sauce and came with a nicely grilled half lemon. The fish was fresh, moist and flaky. It was prepared to perfection.

My husband went with the veal osso buco.

It was slow braised and came with a mound of creamy polenta. It was good……but could have been braised in a richer deeper braising liquid.

Our server was efficient and knowledgeable.

Parking was easy because they have their own lot.

That was my trip to Pomodoro Italian Grill and Seafood in Cave Creek AZ.
