Food was incredibly yummy. Server was great! Ambiance was fun and lively. We had a great meal with friends. All of us enjoyed our food and would return. We had a variety of dishes and felt like service was very attentive.

We came here on a Friday night. We joined the waitlist by calling in and still had to wait about 40 minutes once we got there the inside was warm so we selected to seat in the outside patio since it was a nice warm night. Our waiter was very friendly. The food took a little longer to come out, but it was, really well-made and super tasty. I got the award-winning lasagna and it was really good. My friend got the chicken parmigiana and I tasted it and it was also very good. The prices were ok. Very good dinner experience.

One of our favorite neighborhood restaurants in the Park Hill area, Cherry Tomato is a lovely go-to for fabulous Italian food. They also do great takeout if you're wanting an at-home meal, but I think it's definitely a worthwhile spot to visit. They've recently built out some patio space (since the indoor restaurant is often filled to the max). We always have great service and enjoy our meals here!Our favorite entrees: Pasta Felese (with artichokes, sundried tomotoes, chicken & creamy sauce), and the seafood fettucine "speciale". Both dishes are unique and so yummy.

Very cute neighborhood spot. Great outdoor seating and our waiter was very personable and kind. Amazing garlic bread and marinara. The veggie lasagna only had 4 small pieces of vegetables which was disappointing. Don't get me started on the congealed cheese on a top. The green chile cheese ravioli was excellent however, and was a great portion size for a ravioli plate (10 ravioli(s)).

Couldn't be more thrilled with how a date night started off with dinner at the Cherry Tomato. Cute neighborhood/area, solid service, huge patio seating area, top tier pasta and solid service. Great vibe and a great meal to kick off a nice evening!

Local owned classic mom and pop neighborhood Italian. Veal Saltimbocca was so good I didn't get a photo of it - I had more important priorities! Good cocktails and wine with friendly service - we've been several times and will continue!

We had a lovely family dinner here the other night. Because they're always super busy and don't take reservations for small parties, and we have a toddler, we showed up when they open, at 5. We started with an order of garlic bread, which was fantastic. My old fashioned was also super yummy. My husband had the meat lasagna- so good!! I had the eggplant parmigiana with a side of pasta. I thought my eggplant was delicious but the spaghetti was way too garlicky for me. However, it ended up being the only thing my son would eat besides the bread, so it worked out perfectly.

Comfortable and enjoyed going there until my wife was serve chicken marcella.... she does not eat mushrooms and and ordered picatta... the server said she asked the manager and she would give her the garlic bread! how insulting! she ate maybe 2 bites and after we said negotiating for food she did not order makes no sense the server came back and split the cost of the one entree. I'm not sure if the server was scared to admit she made a mistake or if she was in effect calling my wife a liar but it so stupid... I spoke to my neighbor and he had a problem there and has not gone back in 7 years. Imagine if they realized they lost customers who might go there 4 times per year at $100 per occasion..each, that's times 10 years they lost $8000 but it's more... because I have only spoke with one person..the manager needs to understand that they make mistakes... own up to itRussell Hanover

This quaint Italian place won Westword's best pasta restaurant in1988. I had a chef special ravioli in spicy Alfredo type sauce with sliced sausage. It was delicious and filling. My partner had the meat lasagna and took half home. It was quite hot, they have no A/C, ruining the ambiance. Do not come here when it's hot. Takeout would be an option.
