Pasta Pomodoro (restaurant)

Pasta Pomodoro restaurant in West Hollywood, California

One of California's most well-known and largest restaurant groups, Pasta Pomodoro is a collection of modern Italian restaurants built around three core concepts: the use of fresh and local ingredients, offering guests a great value and creating a neighborhood dining atmosphere. What started as a single restaurant in San Francisco's Marina District in 1994, has grown to over 25 company owned and operated restaurants throughout the Bay Area, Los Angeles and Orange County. The Company is headquartered in San Francisco.

Although the Company was acquired by two Bay Area "foodies" in late 2009, Pasta Pomodoro's mission remains the same with a renewed emphasis on its initial roots --- great, modern Italian food at a reasonable price. One additional area of "passionate focus" for the new owners is trying to use local, natural and organic ingredients as often as possible. Since 2010, Pasta Pomodoro has established relationships with California farmers, wineries, breweries and food purveyors such as Belfiore Cheese Company, Bellwether Farms, Clavo Cellars, Coke Farms, Fra'Mani Handcrafted Foods, Lagunitas Brewing Company, LangeTwins Family Winery & Vineyards, Macchia Winery, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company, Riverdog Farms, Speakeasy Ales & Lagers, Trumer Pils and Zoe's Meats.
