    We were looking for something close to our hotel, what a great find. I had the lamb chops; they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. My husband had the bolognese with fettuccine. For dessert I had Chocolate salame w/ cookie crumbs, pistachio, hazelnut, served w/ a side of gelato macchiato My husband had the Apple & cinnamon, shortbread tart, hazelnut gelato, dark chocolate, Italian meringue Both were delicious. Portions are generous, presentations were lovely and service was great.

    Wow the overall experience at La Tomate was so memorable. The innovative holiday menu was wonderful. Still the best Cesar salad in town and love the Fresh seafood and healthy pasta options without sacrificing flavor. The hostess/owner Natalina knows most guests by name based on her long time relationship running this successful restaurant since the 1980’s. A remarkable accomplishment.
