Part of a global chain of some 80 outlets (but with just three in London), this cheery restaurant clearly retains its modern Neapolitan roots - and its popularity. The paintwork and crockery are as bright as the smiles of the welcoming staff, while the mosaic-tiled pizza unit (complete with wood-fired oven) inspires confidence. This carries through, in part, to the swiftly supplied dishes.
Neapolitan flour makes for a nicely chewy pizza dough, charred and smoky, while the tomato sauce is zesty; handmade scialatielli pasta had intrinsic flavour and sound texture; air-freighted buffalo milk cheeses delighted with their freshness. Stray too far from Naples, though, and disappointment might ensue. On our 'affettati' plate, the caponatina from Sicily was barely more than chopped, bland tomato on toast; parma ham was young, crude and ill-flavoured.
Among the ices, buffalo milk 'fior di latte' was great, others less so. Prices aren't too steep, but don't quite carry the lapses. Nonetheless, the place was buzzing with Italians eager for a taste of home.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and very good service - the best pizza restaurant in London!!!
It is the first time I manage to find a real authentic Italian restaurant in London, finally! The pizza was excellent, it was as good (if not even better) than those I usually eat in Italy. The service was perfect and the whole atmosphere very enjoyable. I had very pleasant evening. I would recommend it to all Italians who want to feel back home and to all those who want to try high quality Italian food for a very reasonable price!
Delicious food, super friendly staff, great enviroment. We had hot and cold starters which consisted of meat and fish, mains were salads and pasta dishes. Everything was presented very well and all the food was seasoned perfectly. The enviroment at the restaurant was lively and the team are very friendly and were always on hand. 10/10
Fantastic service, nice, laid-back atmosphere and a brilliant new menu. The asparagotta pizza and grilled vegetable salad were both delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed myself last night and will have no hesitations recommending the place.
This was by far the worst restaurant I have ever been to. The waiter flicked his tongue ring at us for most of the meal (flicking drops of saliva at us at well), got mad at us for taking too long to order (big sigh, "come on guys!"), brought us unwashed cups for our wine and out of the 6 mains we ordered, all of them were terrible except for the buffalo. Their salad was sweaty, the meat was dry and the pasta tasted like it came out of a can...TERRIBLE, DO NOT GO HERE!
I found the food hugely disappointing. The salads were bitter and uninteresting and my friend had huge lumps of ungrated parmesan in her cheese sauce. All the sauces were heavy and not well cooked. Saying that, the service is very good, shame about the food.
delicious food, very kind and friendly staff and lovely atmosphere...I fully enjoyed my dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed dinner in Rossopomodoro last night. We were a big group but the food was excellent and the service very fast!!!
Rosso Pomodoro is an excellent restaurant. The food was delicious and the service and atmosphere were superb. It was very good value for money and I would thoroughly recommend it. It was very different and enjoyable.
I've really enjoyed my dinner...It's a very nice place and the service is very good!
