Not bad for fast food. It was certainly slightly better than a burger joing, but not a whole heck of a lot better. Parking at this location is pretty darn hellish too.

I am always weary of "chain" restaurants but I am glad I did not let that stop me from trying this place, several times. The food is reasonably priced, fresh, tasty what else can ya ask for? They are open till 11pm on some days which is very convenient. If you feel like some pasta but don't feel like visiting the North Beach Zoo give this place a try. All the taste without all the fanfare! Pros: Value. Open Later. Casual. Delicious! Cons: Parking (like any other place in that area)

Used to love Pasta Pomodoro. Recently, they keep changing the menu (and raising the prices,) while the food gets worse and the portions get smaller. On our last visit, the food and service were HORRIBLE! I have the same problem with their Union St location. At this place though, the manager is extremely unfriendly and RUDE. The other big problem is that they close whenever they feel like it. For example, if they say they close at 10PM and you get there at 9:15, tough... if they're not busy they're going to close! Not very dependable... don't count on dining there. A while ago, it was worth it because the food was good and the prices were low, but now, I'd rather go to a real restaurant. Pros: location, but that's not helping them apparently Cons: Rude manager, bad food, bad service, prices going up, close whenever they want

I am a fan of Pasta Pomodoro, but I never go back to this restaurant on Irving Street. Waiters are rude; they are busy chatting among them and they do not care about customers. I ordered vegetable dish with whole wheat penne. I made sure I want this with penne. When mine came, I had only vegetable portion. I ask them to add penne. They did add penne, but no apologize or anything. Since they are busy talking, they just want us to eat and leave. I rather go to another location, like on Market Street in Castro district. They are very polite and offer good services. Pros: Food Cons: Poor Service

I've been here dozens of times, and never recall a time when I wasn't greeted by a genuinely friendly waitress. I don't know how they do it, but they always hire excellent people. The butternut squash ravioli with sage and brown butter sauce is something they would serve you at a fancy Napa restaurant for twice the price and you wouldn't know the difference. So thumbs up to PP for always being so surprisingly good. My only complaint is that their pesto and foccaccio combo, which they always serve at the beginning of a meal, used to taste better - the pesto especially seems to have changed in recipe. Used to have tons of basil but now is mostly oil. Pros: tasty food, friendly staff, cheap Cons: restaurant kitchen vents into main dining hall so food smell everywhere

This place has great service. The people that work there are very friendly and very nice. Great food. They have a wide variety or food. Very nice place for you and your friends. I have been there a couple of times and I have enjoyed every single time I did go. My friends introduced me to this place and I am doing the same to you. Enjoy.

Pasta Pomodoro has been my favorite pasta place. I enjoy the Capellini which is a rather inexpensive but great tasting dish as well as the Rigatoni (formerly Gemelli). the staff is very friendly and once a couple times have i actually had to wait for more than 5-10 minutes. i like the outdoor seating in the back, even in the winter it is enjoyable because they have the huge heaters. overall, highly recommended! Pros: great food, cheap, friendly staff Cons: 9th & irving parking

Pasta Pomodoro is an inexpensive, nice place to eat. The service there is fair. The atmosphere at night is verly lively. When you sit down, you will get free breadsticks with pesto sauce. Then you will be given a chance to order. The food selection there is good. Many different kinds of pasta. They also serve salmon and other foods.

I've never had a problem or complaint with this Pasta Pomodoro. Their food is always piping hot, fresh, and, most important, delicious! It can be a crowded and a little too loud but the service is always friendly and prompt and the food always meets expectations. If you want great pasta for a great value, this is the place! Pros: great value, good food Cons: bad parking
