In the Neapolitan dialect of southern Italy, “pummarola” means tomato. That was the nickname given to Rosa Donna Rummo’s red sports car, which she was known for driving around Naples in the late ’60s and early ’70s.

Now, in South Florida, four of her seven grandsons have paid homage to their matriarch by naming their boutique brand of eateries Pummarola Pizzeria Napoletana, after the trattoria she founded in Italy back in 1968. The latest location — which is the eighth — has just opened behind the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, at the foot of the drawbridge on Avenue of the Arts in Fort Lauderdale.
