Pomodori might be the new kid on the block in Georgetown, opening their doors just about a year ago. But owner Peter Nikolakopoulos has plenty of experience with his other location in the neighboring town of Ipswich, making it easy for him to convert new followers upon his grand opening. The inside of Pomodori's Georgetown is a bit fancier than your average beef shop, with industrial flair to spare, but do they have the beef to back up that glam? (Compare them to the other Georgetown roast beef shop we reviewed)
Bun: Upon ordering I was asked if I wanted a sesame seed or onion bun with my super beef. Obviously there is only one right answer to that question but I guess we can applaud the right of choice here (This is America). My bun was loaded with onions, poppy seeds, and buttery taste but failed to be crispy. The fact that it was as chewy as a piece of gum didn't help either. Good flavor, bad texture equals a... Score: 3
Beef: This beef was tender but had no flavor at all. Totally lost in the equation even though the serving was more than generous. Score: 2
Sauce: SUPER SWEET up front with lots of tomato flavor. Yet the strong black pepper and light cayenne notes build as this sandwich goes into a decent burn. Tang was omitted completely. They gave me a huge serving of sauce making me run through a stack of napkins in no time flat. Score: 3
Overall: If you got a sweet tooth you will love this sandwich between the sauce and the sweet onion bits it is a bit overly sweet for my taste. Score 3
