4 /5 Chris Neel: Tomato Street – Spokane, WA
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 out of 5 stars)
Tomato Street in Spokane, Washington, offers a lively, family-friendly atmosphere that’s as entertaining as it is flavorful. From the moment we walked in, the environment was festive and fun — perfect for both kids and adults. Each table is covered with paper for doodling, and our server brought out Play-Doh and even stamped the kids’ menu right onto the table. There are chalkboards with colored chalk too — a great way for kids to stay occupied while waiting.
Our server was outstanding — super friendly, very helpful, and showed true professionalism. They took our orders accurately, served our meals with care, and made sure we had everything we needed.
The menu is impressive, with gluten-free, vegan, and classic Italian options. The highlight of our meal was the Brick Oven Bollas appetizer — meatballs, mozzarella, and provolone wrapped in pizza dough like little calzones, served with zesty marinara and Alfredo sauces. At $16.50, they were a bit of a splurge, but the flavor and portion size made them absolutely worth it — two thumbs up!
The gluten-free rice pasta was nicely cooked, though the chicken was a bit tough. On the bright side, my grandson loved his ravioli kids’ meal — which came with a drink and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for just seven dollars. Great value!
Our only real disappointment was the Mediterranean Chicken. It sounded amazing with all its ingredients, but it was over-salted and lost its appeal, especially at $29.35.
Still, we’d definitely return — especially with kids around — and we’d absolutely come back just for those incredible Brick Oven Bollas. Tomato Street earns a solid four stars from us for its fun atmosphere, excellent service, and standout appetizers.
