What Phuketwan says:
Italian is the new Thai. In return for Thai restaurants impressing in Europe and other parts, Italian cooking has made its mark steadily in Thailand down the years. And now spaghetti and pizzas are infiltrating the suburbs of Phuket, without an Italian chef in sight. The Samkong part of Phuket City has always had appeal to residents from other parts who come for some of the best Thai food on Phuket. Pomodoro marks a main road attempt to provide the kind of cooking locals are possibly not so used to trying. For people who find a week isn't complete without a pizza, Pomodoro now offers air-conditioned comfort in a part of Phuket City where pizzas were previously hard to find, and at prices that are just a fraction of those asked in resorts and west coast eateries. Is it possible to present Italian food, untouched by an Italian? We know some Italians who would say ''No'' but the customers at Pomodoro will tell you ''Si.'' This is the new force in Phuket culinary fashion: I-thai-lian.How to find it: On Yaowarat Road between Vachira Phuket Hospital and Bangkok Hospital Phuket, just the Phuket City side of the only set of lights between the hospitals, near Tops supermarket.
Parking: Spaces in Yaowarat Road or side roads.
Phuketwan reviewers pay for their own meals. If we don't, we tell you. Pomodoro is a candidate for Phuketwan's Phuket Restaurant of the Year 2013.
nice interior.. i enjoyed a vegetarian dish which was not on the menu but they were happy to prepare.. my partner complained their was too much cheese on her pizza!! not the cheapest place for thai food but a good addition to the samkong rotation.. until p.pizza returns it's on the list!!
