Poco Pazzo Reviews

Always great food and attentive service. Just make sure you make the reservations at the right location.

Had an amazing experience here tonight. The atmosphere was dark and inviting. The services was personal and informative, the food was too notch, perfect portion sizes, hot and tasty. We will definitely come back here.

I went with my family and the service/food was excellent. Going back for sure soon!

First time at this restaurant Apr 5, 2018. Amazing! Had a salad first with arugula, sliced beets, goat cheese, salmon and lemon style dressing. Highly recommended! Fettucini Poco Pazzo followed. I want the receipt to both badly. The owner, Manny, came by to chat which was very nice. Very much looking forward to returning soon.

Great food, friendly atmosphere and fabulous coffee and service.

We been here a number of times and the pasta has always been top notch. The attentive servers and the comfortable ambience helps complete the package.

I rememebered I loved their food when we visited them couple years ago but this time, we found the pasta very greasy and rich. Couldn't finish even 1/3 of it. I ordered Gemelli AL Pesto and my husband ordered Fettucine Poco pazzo. Both the same.

I only put a star for the taste, but $90 for a seafood plate that had 6 muscles , 1 scallop , 2 tiny shrimp and a Fettuccini with processed kibble and bits chicken, and a kids Fettuccini that had no sauce is a little outrageous. Feeling gouged especially at a time like this . We won't even discuss the over cooked zucchini sticks.

Save ur money ppl

Had dinner here for the first time a few days ago. It was outstanding! My wife and I had different selections from the pasta menu. They were both delicious, generous servings and served piping hot. The servers were very pleasant ant attentive. We were lucky to get a table without a reservation (another couple right behind us did not) so book ahead. My only complaint would be that it's quite noisy when busy. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this place. We'll be back!

Great little neighborhood restaurant in Stittsville, doesn't disappoint

Overpriced, not worth it at all.
I went with a friend for a celebratory dinner. Very, very disappointed.
The food was mushy and stew-like. It was meh. The chicken parmesan was disappointing. And I had some chicken that was covered in a tomato goo.
Nothing was cooked well.
We had smelts that were not crisp or hot.
Not good at all.
Not worth it. Save your money, order a pizza.

This is by far, my favorite restaurant! Their takeout is just as delicious as in-house orders!
I haven t had a dish from here that I haven t loved!
The owners and staff are amazing and they really care about giving you an amazing experience.

We try to order takeout at least a few times a month to help support them during these difficult times.
I would be devastated if they ever closed.
Support Local! Support this amazing Stittsville team!

Everything we had was delicious! The waitress also made excellent suggestions. Their Monday and Tuesday 2 can dinner special is definitely worth it!

delicious Food. Absolutely hands down best in Stittsville. Definitely recommend to all my friends and family.

This is the cozier, busier and more intimate location as Pocco Pazzo has two locations in the Kanata area. Both have great food and friendly servers. It is a bit pricey compared to other Italian places, but it is fine dining, and they have a date deal for Monday and Tuesday nights which is $55 for a shared appetizer, 2 entrees, and shared dessert. I will definitely be coming back to Pocco Pazzo; one of my favourite restaurants in all of Ottawa.

Relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Great food. Not rushed. Very enjoyable.

I don't give out 5 stars often, but i was in last night and it was an exceptional evening and well deserving of this rating. Let's begin with the service: a standard on which many others could model after. friendly, attentive, fast and informative. Refills on beverages and bread were quick and unasked for. Meals were delivered hot and accurately. We were a party of 12 and each of us were cared for equally. As for the meal, everyone raved about their own. I ordered the gemelli al pollo e gorgonzola which was extremely flavourful, the chicken moist and serving quite generous (which is deceptive as the bowl/plate looked rather small though i was stuffed when finished). The restaurant was not busy which hopefully was due to it being an early Sunday evening on a long weekend. I do not live in the west end though i would visit frequently if i did. Well done.

My husband and I have eaten here several times and their food never disappoints! He is gluten free and we love that Pocopazzo offers such quality pastas that he can enjoy.
But I want to leave this review because of how wonderful they were with handling the food for our wedding. Since this is one of our favourite restaurants, we decided to get takeout for our 20-guest wedding from them and the chef was so helpful in getting it organized and communicating with me. The staff had no problem handling a big takeout order like that, and they made the order and pickup process so smooth. The food was delicious (as always) and everyone loved it!

We recently hosted a small event at Poco Pazzo Hazeldean and we had an excellent experience. Michelle was a real pleasure to deal with and she made everything very easy for us. They opened early for our event, had custom menus printed and their servers were professional and welcoming to all of our guests. Thank you again for a fantastic experience.

This is quite small place but, surprisingly good food and preparations. Italian cousin from the way as it knowing in North America, is not my favorite however, this place is really good and looks like more real then others. I can suggest to visit and see by yourself. Price is not cheap but it worth it.

Michelle was the most popular service I've had in years. Ranks five stars for her customer service expertise. Way to go Michelle. Thanks for a great birthday all the best always George Boretos

Fantastic food. Reasonable price. Large servings.

Great Modern Italian cuisine, with a good number of tasty appetizers and mains.

Food was excellent. Great service. Very nice little place.

Super friendly servers - amazing food and atmosphere. Great selection, knowlegeable and cautious when it comes to gluten allergies.

Wife and I went for lunch on June 5th, the atmosphere and our waiter was great. My wife enjoy the 4 cheese manicotti. I had the veal wrap, it looked like a mush and was unedible. The wrap had a half an onion and at least a dozen sliced mushroom smothered in cheese, the veal when I found a few pieces was good. Overall not a good experience for me, will not be returning.

Great food. Good sized portions. Very friendly service. Will certainly go back.

Amazing take out service! Our dinners were delicious! Make sure you leave room for dessert, the tiramisu is to die for!

Went with friends to celebrate a birthday and it was delicious. Pasta was fresh and well cooked. All of us enjoyed our meals. Great atmosphere!

Seriously good food. Very attentive and friendly service. A gem.

If you would like the nicest, most polite and best waitress, ask for Michelle! An amazing and smart manager!

went here for Valentine's day...really good food once we received it server/kitchen screwed up our order and we felt rushed to leave

Never disappoints. Food is always fantastic, service is professional and friendly, and the atmosphere is great. Locally owned is the cherry on top.

This is one of the best restaurants I have been to. Lovely service, delicious food and such a beautiful interior. The only thing I would say is be sure to make a reservation or you might not be able to enjoy their fantastic food.

Food is always good, and the tiramisu is addictive.

My wife and I recently visited Italy for our 25th wedding anniversary and the food there was unreal!!! We were afraid when we came home we wouldn t find food that tasty anywhere. Well, we were wrong!! These folks know what they re doing!! Amazing food, first class service. A real gem, right here in Stittsville

I had the salmon which came highly recommend. The lemon sauce was too salty and the salmon just a little over done. It was served with overdone roasted potatoes. The eggplant appetizer was very good!!, again just go a little easier on the salt. Ambience nothing special. Good service.

One of our favourites in Stittsville. Our daughter loves their pasta alfredo. The staff know us and treat us like family. Highly recommend!

The food is a delight, I recommend it 100%
Fresh everything and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very warm .
the chef cooked delicious my dinner to day ,
Thank you !!!

Had dinner here last night with my friend. What a lovely cosy place and atmosphere! Service is great and professional. Wine was delicious but I was so disappointed with my pasta tomato sauce. I was so looking forward to it and it fell short. I had the pappardelle with jumbo shrimp and scallops in tomato sauce $23. Big mistake. I should've had it with white sauce as in the menu. The tomato sauce is way too sweet. They add sugar to their tomato sauce and man it killed all the flavours of the seafood. I like my tomato sauce simple simmered with fresh or canned crushed tomatoes (ideally san marzano but ripe plum do the job), garlic, olive oil and fresh basil. So if you want authentic savoury taste, don't order tomato sauce dishes. It was similar to fast food/east side Mario's pasta sauce. May be the sugary taste appeals to north americans more than the rest...

Excellent....one of the best Chicken Parmigiana I have ever had. Local craft beer would be nice to see on menu.

Great service and food. This place was highly recommended to us, we had a great evening in the patio. I had the papardelle with prawns and scallops, it was delicious. The tiramisu was also really good.

Best Italian food in the city as far as I'm concerned. The veal Florentine is unreal.

Food is excellent. Relaxed informal dining with house specials at reasonable prices. Decent wine selection and house wines passable. Around $130/couple with wine.

a great restaurant that is at the top with the other Italian spots around. Delicious food every time.

I wanted to say a special thank you to Everyone at Pocopazza in Stittsville. This was the first time that we could go to a restaurant since my Daughter started cancer treatment over 2 months ago. Michelle and the staff went above and beyond calling all reservations to ensure that our daughter had a safe area away from anyone who felt like they may be getting ill. It was a great comfort to our extended family to be able to interact for the first time with her in a normal setting since they live a great distance away. Always great food and wonderful setting for any occasion. Thanks again everyone!

Great food and good service. Would recommend trying if you haven't.

We always enjoy our meal each time we visit. The service is phenomenal.

Food was great, server was nice and attentive, but the food took far too long to arrive even though we were basically the first table of the evening so they weren't slamed when our order went in.

Really enjoyed dinner here. The food was delicious and service was great. Nice cozy atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Great restaurant
Great people
Great food
Absolutely satisfied and recommended

We had a terrific meal here! The owner was very attentive and friendly, the staff was fantastic and the food was incredible. I am gluten free and have not had a restaurant-based pasta meal in a decade. Their GF pasta was really, really fabulous.

So good!!! Just ordered a simple chicken and shrimp, but the taste was great, quality of food was excellent, and the restaurant is VERY clean and ordered, so you can have confidence ordering and know that things are sanitary and designed well to respect social distancing. I m very exited to try some pasta next time!

Expect excelled food and impeccable service. This place is amazing!

Absolutely phenomenal and freshly in house made food. Accommodating for allergies as well. Service is always exceptional.

Great food, great service. Would recommend to everyone!

It take a lot for me to put something on here when I have been to so many restaurant all over the world. I have to say the service was fantastic and food amazing. Can't say too much you really need to go there and experience it yourself.

Great service and decadent food with a warm and inviting atmosphere

Extremely delicious every time we go. 1000x better than Fratelli. The staff are excellent as well and the ambiance is very nice. Lunch prices are good, and on Mondays and Tuesdays they offer date night for $49. Cannot be beat. Very lucky find in Kanata and Stittsville.

The staff, the food and the atmosphere are top notch! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Great portion sizes, friendly wait staff and the food was good but not great

Small family owned Italian eatery. Prices are good, food is great and portions are very decent. Limited seating so reservations always a good idea. Can get a bit noisy but the food is worth it.

Very fine Italian dining. Great service, fantastic menu. The chicken Pocopazzo is my favorite.

Really good food. Total hidden gem in the West end of town. We had three courses which was a struggle as the portions were so generous. The chicken dish I had was fantastic.

Food is amazing and service was fantastic. Great atmosphere too.

My favourite Italian restaurant in Ottawa. Incredibly friendly service, big portions, awesome atmosphere and also great take out. My favourite so far is the veal florentina, but everything is incredible! (Pic is from the take out I ordered)

Went there for a wedding. Food was ok, staff ok. Nice atmosphere, no major complaints, everything was okay.

Nice decor, courteous service, and the pasta is delicious. I love the gorgonzola pinoli agnolotti so much that I never have the courage to try any other dish there. I just don't rate it as 5 starts because for dessert they messed up a perfectly plain New York style cheesecake by adding some chocolate topping to it.

Great food and service, pleasant dining atmosphere. No complaints.

We ve been before a few times to eat in and have always enjoyed the food, pleasant staff and cozy atmosphere. Today we ordered out and decided to have some fun by ordering 5 different pasta dishes to make our own buffet at home. It was soooooo delicious! Every dish tasted different and satisfied our taste buds. Love this restaurant and so happy to have them in Stittsville. Keep up the great work!

Delicious food at reasonable prices. Excellent staff - on top of things, but never overwhelming. Nice and small so it's not that loud and you can have a conversation without yelling. And the 'date nite' special is excellent.

Good food. I had the calamari and a salad. Patio had a heater to keep us warm.

I really enjoyed the food and hospitality. I recommend going.

Great food, atmosphere, service. Nothing but good things can be said here.

Excellent Italian food! Wine, salad, Cannelloni, dessert.... all top notch. The chef's NY background shows in the presentation and preperation. I have been searching for really good Cannelloni in Canada. I finally found it!

This is a favourite date night location for my husband and I!! We absolutely love the fid and the service. We have been to both locations, but enjoy the Kanata (March Rd ) one a bit more. They are both wonderful though! My fave dish is the Poco Pazzo chicken dish, loaded with delicious sundried tomatoes. Their freshly baked warm bread loaf with Rosemary seasoning and dipped in the Balsamic Vingegarette and Oil, is positively DELICIOUS!! The staff is so friendly!!
