A Review: La Pomodori Ristorante in Florence, Oregon
have owned one and was trained by the five star chef we imported
from Italy. So even in San Francisco, I have been disappointed more
often than not. So I took a leap of faith having lunch at
La Pomodori Ristorante in Florence Oregon and was
pleasantly surprised. I ordered the 'Sweet Chile Pesce'..
. Pacific Snapper encrusted with panko breading,
finished with a sweet chile bruschetta over linguini.
The restaurant is small and intimate with a clean minimalist

The restaurant is small and intimate with a clean minimalist
decor and no pretentious Italian art or the usual overdone
attempts at trying to create a "little Italy."
I ordered the salad instead of soup, which was european greens ,

The snapper was better than I had hoped for as I had tried another recommended spot in Florence
and their version was very disappointing. The flavor was excellent! The sweet & spicy chile did not
overpower the fish and the breading was perfect. Large slivers of fresh shaved Parmesan with the
garlic and other spices made a great marriage. The linguine was done to my liking
(medium-well al dente) and at $11 I was pleased to make dinner reservations so
I can bring our readers an in-depth review on their traditional Veal and Pasta
dishes, and their Cioppino. So far, it looks like I have found a first class Italian Ristorante in Florence, Oregon.
