While it can be difficult to find a bad Italian meal in the North End, Pomodoro still shines as a beacon of freshness and flavor. It’s well worth the wait for a spot in the tiny dining room, and not just for the free tiramisu that always pops up around dessert time. Favorite entrees include Italian classics like the seafood fra diavolo, chicken carbonara and veal scallopini—all cooked to perfection and served with friendly flair.
