The Pomodoro East mural on Eastland is one of the murals that first got me interested in outdoor art in Nashville. Not sure why I’m just getting to it now on this blog. This is an Eastside Murals work, one of their earlier jobs. The florid typography of the signature is unusual. On most of their murals, they stick to much more spare fonts when they sign their work. Pomodoro is a popular east side Italian restaurant that, yes, uses a lot of tomatoes in their food.
Located at 701 Porter Road. The mural actually faces Eastland Avenue, and is essentially underneath the restaurant. Your closest bet for viewing the mural is to park on the backside of the building, from the Eastland entrance. If you park in the lot off Porter, you’ll have a steep hill to climb down. Get you some pasta and enjoy the art!
