Pomodoros Greek & Italian Cafe-East
Pomodoros offers an authentic Mediterranean experience in the heart of Western North Carolina. Drawing our inspiration from the countries of Greece and Italy, we tempt the palate with three separate menus (Lunch, Dinner and Sunday Brunch) of diverse and innovative dishes using the freshest and finest ingredients. Pomodoros is a full service restaurant that provides an extensive wine list, a full bar, catering, and friendly service.
Our three distinct menus reflect our commitment to providing only the finest fresh ingredients. Our cuisine pairs regional traditions of Greece and Italy with the diverse culinary talents of our chefs. "The basis of each dish is always in the tradition of the region, but the ingredients guide the way to new delights as well as old favorites."
Pomodoros uses only the finest oils that have zero Trans-Fats and are not partially hydrogenated.

"Pomodoro's has been our favorite restaurant ever since they opened. It is where we go to celebrate our birthdays and anniversary every year. We can always count on their consistency with both food and service."

"We came for lunch one hour earlier than our opentable reservation. The maitre'd told me that even if the place was packed, we would have gotten a table because we used open table. The food and service was terrific."

"We have a favorite waitress and go about twice a month to see her mostly. We used to go once a week but the menu keeps changing and the food has become very mediocre. Perhaps a new chef is in order."

"This was my first time dining at Pomodoros and I really enjoyed it. Menu had a nice selection and special features of the night were very appealing. I ordered the filet and shrimp kebab with olive oil mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious. Portion size nice. Excellent wine suggestion with dinner. I will definately return to this restaurant!"

"We had the pleasure of dining at Pomodoros. I had the lamb which was perfectly prepared. The flavors in the crust on the lamb was incredible and not overbearing. All of the flavors came together wonderfully. My husband had the tuna, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We happened upon this restaurant by chance and will definitely return. Our server Megan deserves a good shout out too. She was attentive and not intrusive, with a fun wit about her."

"We always have Easter Dinner in our home, but this year, we decided to go to Pomodoros for Easter Brunch with our daughter's family. The email posting of "Eat Like a Greek for Easter!" got our attention. The lamb was the choice for the three male family members. Our daughter, on a diet, found just the right items for her. I had a marvelous pasta dish, while our 9 year old granddaughter spotted chicken on the children's menu... We were all very happy with our choice of food and the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant. It was a memorable time of conversation, laughter, and dining. We may have to do this again!"

"We had an early reservation as we were traveling from Asheville to Hickory and the restaurant was virtually empty. With many open tables available the hostess chose to sit a mother and two young children (incessant questions by the three year-old and an unhappy two-year old) adjacent to our table. Historically our dining experience has been most pleasant but the seating arrangement this time resulted in an unpleasant one. Please ask the hostess to pay closer attention to seating arrangements when options are available. Thanks."

"There was confusion of who was responsible for our table. The mgr apologized and we had a free appetizer. Unfortunately it spoiled our Valentine's dinner. We had reservations and have been a long time patron."
