When the COVID-19 pandemic was in full swing, many restaurants had to adapt and many turned to better takeout service. The Pomodori Italian restaurant at Hilton Head was no different.
Now, enjoying the rise of takeout, restaurant owner Amanda Cifaldi has expanded her operations to a status quo in Bluffton: Pomodori too!Italian takeaway.
“I think when COVID hit, we realized that some kitchens lend themselves well to being picked up and consumed later,” Cifaldi said. “It’s a kitchen that gets better the next day.

In the seven weeks they’ve been open, Cifaldi says they’ve done monster business.
“It spread like wildfire and literally from day one. I mean, it’s been everything and more than we expected.
