Pasta Pomodoro, Take Two
Sam...@gmail.com
Technically this is take three since I've been to the restaurant twice
before, but this is only the second time I've written about it here.
The first thing I learned on my dinner excursion is that my blog is
actually helping people! At least one person has found their way to
Pasta Pomodoro in Voorhees after reading my review (which makes me
VERY happy!). Hopefully I can keep expanding the places I go to and
helping people find restaurants that allow you to eat gluten free with
a peace of mind.
The second thing was that my favorite restaurant was clearly a hit
amongst Philadelphia as well! Recently, there was the National
Foundation for Celiac Awareness Gluten Free Cooking Spree in
Philadelphia. I had heard all about it but sadly could not attend due
to the high cost and my modest budget. Surprisingly, I had heard
nothing about the winner... that is, until Saturday night when Pasta
Pomodoro's chef Pat and owner Skip were very proud to serve their
Award Winning Coconut Crusted Chilean Sea Bass (a very big deal at the
restaurant - for good reason!).
To top off the meal, my friends and I indulged in two gluten free
desserts. The GF Brownie and GF Chocolate Banana Cream Pie. Doesn't
the sound of the last one just make your mouth water? The brownie was
good, but if dairy isn't a problem it would probably taste best with
vanilla ice cream (it was also tasty the following day). The Chocolate
Banana Cream pie didn't last until the next day though, it actually
didn't even last 5 minutes. It was devoured and I think I can safely
say its one of the best pies I've ever tasted (comparable to Mr.
Ritt's, who is also worth a try if you haven't been to his bakery).
To be fair to our gluten eating friends and family, all my friends
greatly enjoyed their glutinous meals as well. The men polished off
their plates and while the women all took home leftovers, they were
consumed for lunch the next day.
