Penne Pomodoro

Always a great place to dine and a very friendly neighborhood restaurant. Reasonable with great service too!

Yes I highly recommend this place , the mangers and staff are very friendly. The waitress we had always helps us with our meals. This place is very romantic . The freshest food you can order. I recommend the green pasta lasagna. It a must to have .

Penne Pomodoro is close to being an institution in Snider Plaza. What I mean is that Penne, if memory serves me correctly, has been in Snider Plaza for over twenty years. It hasn't been around as long as some of the other long-standing restaurants in Snider such as Kuby's Sausage House and Amore Italian, but it's longevity demonstrates that it has been adopted by the folks who frequent SP. Some years ago, I used to spend a lot of time in SP since I lived a block away for a couple of years. I never considered restaurants there as "destination" type of eateries serving dishes that you'd lobby for a Michelin star. Most of the joints were good based on "neighborhood" restaurant standards and you could get a tasty meal without a lot of reservation drama and putting on your Sunday best.The same holds true for Penne Pomodoro. In our most recent last minute, walk-in, visit on a Wednesday night, most tables were full of folks that looked like they were from the surrounding area (families, kids, and grandma and grandpa), as well as a number of tables occupied by students from nearby SMU. On that night, we were looking for quick and easy; we weren't looking for a production.The menu offers Italian-type fare ranging from Bruschetta to cripsy mozzarella; chicken parmigiana to grilled salmon; pizza; create your own pasta to lobster ravioli; and an assortment of sides and sandwiches. On our visit I ordered Focaccia bread (which they forgot until reminded), and Red Snapper Livornese. Both were what I expected; good and satisfying, but nothing out of the ordinary for a solid neighborhood joint.So if you're in the area, looking for a pleasant meal, without a 4-week reservation wait, give Penne a try. And if you're in the mood, give the nearby area a walk and guess where I used to live.

The quality of the food has deteriorated significantly. The service was good but what happened to the quality of the food? We went last night and we were looking forward to it. First, the avocado fries were greasy, the Paglia E Fieno was swimming in cream and the overall taste was subpar, my father in law had the Lobster Ravioli it was chewy and no taste, my wife's Pesto Gnocchi was the worst we ever had, again a lot of cream and the gnocchi was not fluffy, it tasted like a piece of heavy dough. my mother in law's snapper livornese was ok. The restaurant used to be very good, but not sure if you have new cooks that they do not know what they are doing.

PP reminds me of your standard Greek restaurant. Not very impressive, that is, until our food came out. Then I knew it we were in business : )My "go to" every time I visit a new Italian restaurant is spaghetti and meatballs. The waitress recommended the sausage, so I went with it, and I was not disappointed.The marinara sauce was excellent as was the sausage. Everyone in our group enjoyed their entree, especially the vodka sauce. Worth trying.

Ordered via Uber eats and it was the first time in a long time that my order arrived from any given restaurant on time and warm. My wife had the chicken Parmesan and thought it was very good. I had the stuffed shells which I also thought was very good. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The dish wasn't overloaded with spinach and was quite cheesy and tasty. I do think $17 for 5 stuffed shells is a bit pricey though. We received one thin slice of bread which felt like an afterthought, and with two dishes, as simple as it is, two slices should have been included. Overall, pretty good Italian option.

We came as a large group of many generations. The service was a little strange as the meals came in batches and one came a solid 10 minutes after the others. The food was good but not overly remarkable. Still the place was bright and friendly. We'd try it again.

I have been here twice now and it is absolutely amazing!! The service is top tier and the food is delicious! I can't wait to go back soon and have the gnocchi pesto.

Delicious food in a Trattoria setting. Open kitchen brings character out. Chicken Parm with penne served in skillet excellence par none

The food is good, the service is good, but they don't answer their telephone. I had a 10 second question and I called repeatedly to try to get someone to help me. Either the phone just rang, or I got a recording saying they were "busy". When I arrived a short time later, there was a gentleman at the greeting desk standing there doing nothing. Behind him their phone was ringing off the hook. The ability to communicate with a business is important to me.
