Pomodoro Rosso

I know everybody loves a good redemption story and so this time I've got one for you. If you've seen my last PR review, you know it wasn't too favorable. However to be fair, I think it was an understandable decision on PR's part to pre-cook a bunch of pizzas to quickly serve a large lunch crowd. Again, it was understandable, but maybe not the best decision.This time PR was back, and because it wasn't a free pizza party, they were serving up several of their pastas, which I had heard were better than their pizza. Well, my coworker was right...the pasta was much better than the pizza. I went with the truffle mac and cheese that came with a small piece of bread and a soda for $5. Keep in mind, that $5 deal was simply because my employer subsidized the rest of the cost.The pasta was cooked nice and al dente and the ground mushroom sauce was creamy and delicious. I appreciated that they served it with some additional S&P, and I liked the added parmesan on the dish as well. Unfortunately though, the "truffle" was only from added truffle oil that was really lacking in this dish. The mac was tasty but it was really missing that truffle flavor.Although the pre-cooked pizza was a big miss for me, the mac and cheese helped PR redeem themselves. Thanks PR!Overall 3.5 stars!

This food truck came to my work a couple weeks ago and honestly I wasn't a fan. I ordered a marinara pasta vegan style with a salad and it was meh. The salad wasn't anything special. The pasta ended up being overcooked which sucked. No one likes over cooked pasta. Also the sauce didn't exactly coat the pasta. It basically was pasta swimming in sauce but when you picked up a piece of pasta there was no sauce on it. I feel like this business has potential and prob didn't make great food since there were a lot of ppl ordering, but who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The only thing going for this place is that it comes right outside the graduate housing at UCSD. Were it not for its convenience, I think I would give this place a 1/5. I was curious about the food since it is parked right outside where I live, and ended up getting their "popular" lobster mac and cheese. They have a 50 cent card charge which made my purchase $14 in total. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. First of all, the food just looks unappealing. It looks like dorm food that I had thought I escaped from as an undergraduate, and the bread is so laughably small that I can't believe I paid so much for. In terms of taste, the pasta itself is mediocre and the sauce made me kind of itchy afterwards, which makes me doubt the quality of their ingredients. The service was nice, so no complaints there, but the only way I would get this place again was if it was free. Realistically, I would rate this as a $3 dish, but man, it is really not that good. The convenience is the only thing going for this food truck. If you are too lazy to cook and you are okay with overpaying for mediocre food, then go here.

Tried this place out during Food Truck Fridays in Balboa Park. I got the lobster mac and cheese and honestly I was not impressed. There seemed to be barely any lobster and the "cheese" sauce reminded me of an alfredo-esque sauce, which is fine because I like alfredo, but I was expecting Lobster Mac and Cheese which was not really present in the dish I got. Overall, I was disappointed with my meal and probably will not be back here again. It's a bummer because I was really looking forward to loving it!

I am a lover of Italian food so decided to try this one for Food Truck Wednesday. And I am Soooo glad I did!! I had the Lobster Mac and Cheese and it was so creamy, flavorful and satisfying. I was happy with my choice however I hear the Pizza is Bomb so I'm adding that to my list next time.

I really like this food truck. Not gonna lie, it's not the best pasta I've had but it's still really good. I always get their vodka creme. The sauce is delicious! The noodles were a little undercooked but it's better than soft noodles. I like that the food is always fresh and piping hot! My container was condensating so much from the heat that it left a small, warm puddle on my desk.

This evening, we hosted Pomodoro Rosso for a work event at SDSU. They had a selection of pastas, a side ceasar salad, and meatballs. I chose the rigatoni with vodka sauce and meatballs. I was very happy with both options! The sauce was creamy and portion size was pretty large (although it was also provided by my workplace). The meatballs had tons of flavor and complemented the pasta. If given the chance, I would go back in a heartbeat!

I had a great experience having a delicious food truck dinner yesterday evening at the Pomodoro Rosso Italian food truck in the Cevita Park in Mission Valley San Diego. When my meatball sandwich was very reasonably priced, and served piping hot with amazing melted cheese and covered with marinara sauce. Quite an opportunity to enjoy a stroll in the park and eat a top-quality sandwich on a chilly SD winter evening before the sun set.

We had them cater an event at our apartment property and they were a breeze to work with! Our POC, Matteo, was a great communicator & he was quick to respond via email. The quote that was presented to us was the amount we ended up paying, no hidden fees or surprises. Matteo was professional, punctual & friendly with our residents, and followed necessary safety measures during COVID. They offered a variety of pasta options and came with bread & a side salad. Everything was delicious!! Matteo even offered a personal dessert for my husband and I at the end of the event and their chocolate roll is to die for...seriously the best dessert we've had in a while! We would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Caught them at Balboa Park's Food Truck Friday's! I got the Pasta al Pesto and my friend had the Truffle Mac n Cheese (added chicken). Total came to $25. They also have sandwiches, salads, pizzas, and desserts.Food came out in 3 mins... absolutely scrumptious! I enjoyed every bite of my pasta, as did my friend. Neither of us could stop talking about how great it was! 10/10 would recommend!!!
