Bites Nearby: Oro Pomodoro Pizzeria Ristorante

You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Takoma Park Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here's this week's choice.

Got pizza lovers at your house?  Then knock their socks off with wood-fired, Neapolitan pizzas with gobs of fresh toppings from Oro Pomodoro Pizzeria Ristorante. In fact, Oro Pomodoro is the first restaurant in Maryland to receive the stamp of approval from the Verace Pizza Napoletana Association as an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria.

Oro P. also serves accompanying dishes more likely to be found in Tuscany or Sicily than our neck of the woods. Small bites like calamari, mussels, mozzarella salads and brushette shine. The pasta entrees are hearty and fresh, the traditional Italian desserts rich. Check out the full menu.

Every night of the week is a celebration at Oro Pomodoro. For nightlife, Friday nights play host to live bands, Saturday nights after dinner the restaurant transforms into the Oro Lounge and Thursdays are Ladies Night, with half-off all drinks for the gals. (And for the day after your crazy night out, brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays well into the afternoon.)
