Kids Eat Free on Tuesdays at Pomodoro (Press Release)

Pomodoro kids' menu keeps younger set happy.

-- Chain Leader, 7/24/2008 10:49:00 AM

SAN FRANCISCO, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Parents love Pomodoro because their kids enjoy good food, fun activities to keep them occupied, friendly staff serving them and a kid-friendly feel in a sophisticated restaurant setting. Recently, Pomodoro sweetened things even more with a great deal: kids eat free* on Tuesdays at participating Pomodoro restaurants.

"My wife and I enjoy dining out with our boys, so when I designed our kids' program, it was with the entire family in mind," says Pomodoro Chef and Founder Adriano Paganini. "The best part of having a restaurant is seeing smiling people in the dining room. Even better when it's a family."

With Pomodoro's Kids' Menu, children choose from one of four entrees -- Mini Parmigiana, Cheese Pizza, Grilled Cheese Sandwich or Cheesy Pasta -- or build their own by matching their favorite pasta (penne, spaghetti or ravioli) with their favorite sauce (tomato, tomato-and-cream, cream, meatball or butter-and-cheese). Kids' meals (regularly $4.95) include milk, apple juice or soda and a small chocolate sundae. And while they wait, kids can color (a box of crayons is provided) and keep busy with themed activities on their colorful Pomodoro placemats. The placemats are redesigned two to four times a year with a new theme.

Still, the regular Pomodoro menu offers several popular items for kids. Pre-teens and teens often order the Polpette (spaghetti with beef and pork meatball in a spicy tomato sauce), Capellini Pomodoro (with tomato sauce, roasted garlic, basil and olive oil), Tortellini (with cream and pancetta or bolognese), and Gemelli (twisted pasta, smoked/grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, mushroom cream sauce). Italian sodas allow kids to create their own soda concoctions from a multitude of flavor choices. And it's easy to talk parents into finishing the meal with Pomodoro's mini desserts.

Here's how the Pomodoro Kids Eat Free* on Tuesdays offer works: families receive a complimentary kids' meal from Pomodoro's Kids Menu with the purchase of one adult entree. The offer is good for dine-in customers only, has no cash value and cannot be combined with any other offer.

"KIDS EAT FREE" LOCATIONS: The following Pomodoro restaurants ARE participating in the Kids Eat Free Tuesdays program: In San Francisco -- North Beach, Irving & 9th Ave. and Cow Hollow; Marin -- San Rafael, Mill Valley, Novato; Peninsula/South Bay -- Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Redwood City, Camden Park and Evergreen; East Bay & Sacramento -- Rockridge, Pleasant Hill, El Cerrito, Vallejo, Emeryville, and Roseville. In Southern California: Irvine -- Oak Creek, Corona, Woodland Hills, Burbank -- Town Center, Aliso Viejo, Sherman Oaks -- La Reina Place, Huntington Beach and West Hollywood.

*Because some Pomodoro restaurants cannot accommodate an overwhelming response to certain offers, the following restaurants are NOT participating: the Castro, Laurel Village and Noe Valley restaurants in San Francisco; Bay Meadows, San Bruno, Union City, San Jose-Santana Row, San Jose-The Alameda, Newport Coast, Laguna, Manhattan Beach and the three Pomodoro restaurants in Arizona. As this is subject to change or modification, Pomodoro recommends guests contact their nearest restaurant to confirm. Contact information can be found at www.pastapomodoro.com.
