Al Pomodoro is one of the most well-known and popular Italian restaurants in Valencia, run by the charismatic owners of the Home hostels. It is somewhat of a cult, attracting mainly young clientele who come here in large groups before going out to party. The secret of this place is elusive yet always somewhere tangible once you are inside. Bohemian decor, somewhat mysterious waiting staff, more or less traditional, yet also original dishes. There is something inexplicably quirky about this place, a unique personality that must have won it such a following. Some swear by it, some think it is overrated, but it is undoubtedly one of the faces of Valencia. Al Pomodoro is focused on pizzas, while its sister restaurant La Parppardella serves pasta.
