The Pomodora dining room at dusk
Benvenuti

A family kitchen
on College Street.

Three generations, one kitchen. Fresh pasta rolled every morning, secondi cooked with patience, a menu that turns with the seasons because the produce turns with the seasons.

La Casa di Pomodora

The kitchen changes because the produce changes.

We cook the way our grandmother cooked: with what the market gives us, with patience, with hands rather than machines. Some dishes have been on the menu for thirteen years. Some appear for ten days a year. Both are us.

From the Menu

What we cook today

Tagliatelle al Ragù
Primi

Tagliatelle al Ragù

Fresh egg tagliatelle, eight-hour beef and pork ragù. Hand-cut every morning.

Branzino al Forno
Secondi

Branzino al Forno

Whole roasted Mediterranean sea bass. Lemon, herbs, olive oil. Cooked simply, on purpose.

Tiramisù
Dolci

Tiramisù

Mascarpone, espresso, ladyfingers. Made fresh each morning and gone by closing.

Primi Piatti

Pasta cut by hand, every morning.

The pasta menu changes with what arrives from the market. Some of these dishes have been here since we opened. Some won't be here next week. All of them are made the same way Nonna Lucia made them: by hand, with patience, without shortcuts.

La Sala Privata

The private room seats twenty. Or four.

Sala Privata and the terrace are available for seated dinners, birthday tables, rehearsal lunches, and corporate evenings. Set menu or à la carte. We work with the group to design the meal. Contact us at events@pomodora.ca.

La Cantina

Italian wine, chosen with patience.

The list is built around small producers from the regions we think about: Piedmont, Campania, Sicily, Sardinia. House pours rotate with the seasons. Ask the server what's open. There is almost always something worth asking about.

La Famiglia

Three generations.
One kitchen.

Nonna Lucia opened a small kitchen in Cisternino in 1962. She cooked for the village. Her daughter Rosa carried the same hands to Toronto in 1989. Her granddaughter Marta stands in our kitchen today, rolling pasta the way Lucia taught Rosa, and Rosa taught her.

We don't reinvent. We refine. We cook food that has been cooked for a hundred years, and we cook it well.
