Had a wonderful dining experience at this Italian restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, which set a great tone for the evening. The seating was comfortable and thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to relax and enjoy our meal in a cozy atmosphere. The food was simply fantastic – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried had a wonderful balance of flavors. The standout, though, was the service. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Their knowledge of the menu and genuine enthusiasm added a special touch to the experience. Overall, this is a place I’d highly recommend for anyone craving Italian cuisine with exceptional service. Looking forward to coming back!

Today we celebrated my Mother's 95th birthday. Oh, what a party-of-a-lifetime it was. PocoPazzo you rock!!! Our expectations were exceeded. Our initial contact with Angela to discuss details, Michelle and her team presenting platters of food and drinks, Emanuele's amazing food and personal attentive touches made for the best celebration ever. Thank you isn't enough!

I'm absolutely speechless at the service I received, especially as a single diner. I felt like I was in first class on some exotic yacht. The food was top notch and the service was a pleasure from seating to check out.

We came here for the first time, and will certainly be back. We both had fettuccine meals that the chef personally recommended, and they did not disappoint. The pasta was cooked just right, and the sauce was delicious. The service was excellent and the restaurant was cozy and perfect for a date night. We would definitely recommend if you want a nice night out.

Alright, from the start, what a disappointment. Before you say I am picky or strict or whatever it is, please read the whole review. Yesterday was my second time going to Pocco Pazzo, since my first time there on 21st of February 2021. My first visit there I was impressed with the food portions and how good the Frutti Di Marre was. It was such a blast. 3 years later I am back and I was expecting the same or even better. What a shame. Not only did they reduce the portions as you can see on the pictures but I had the shock of the evening when it was 28$ for a chicken alfredo.. At Moxies it’s 25$ and I add extra shrimps that gets it to 32$. Yesterday I asked for extra shrimps with the chicken and they charged me 12$ for 4 pieces….. The Frutti di Mare, a seafood pasta with 2 scrimps and one scallop. I don’t think I have to say anything else. What a shame, what a pure shame and at this point they are scamming people. I am being harsh because it’s unacceptable. Raising prices and reducing portions. What a disgrace. Service was the only thing notable. That’s all I have to say really. What a shame Pocco Pazzo, yesterday was an immense disappointment. Went there twice and I will never step foot there ever again.

We have eaten here a few times but finally posting about it. Chef Manni really does provide good quality food and the Apollo dishes my wife and I had were great in addition to my daughter’s pasta dish. Exceptional. We did walk in and they accommodated us but we had to leave at a certain time so ideally we took advantage but the hostess was kind to let us know it was time to leave. 🫣

This is a pleasant but busy restaurant with decent Italian cuisine. The service was good with friendly servers. The food was flavourful. It would have been nice to have the option of pizza, but this isn't a pizza place. The time slots are for 2.5 hours, after which they need to bring in the next guests for their booking times. We were politely asked to leave to accommodate them. I wouldn't mind returning for a meal, but I will eat faster next time.

I recently dined at this Italian restaurant and had a mixed experience. The food was decent, but fell short of our expectations. The service, while polite and respectful, required multiple reminders for simple requests like water and bread. However, the waitstaff promptly handled a disruptive customer incident, impressing us with their swift resolution and even offering a complimentary appetizer to compensate. Despite some shortcomings, we appreciated their efforts to rectify the situation, and it left us feeling satisfied in the end. Overall, the evening was enjoyable

I love the menu, specially the Eggplant, Fish dishes and veal options. Desserts are fab. Emanuel, the owner is around commanding the high quality of his really authentic Italian eatery. Plus, twice an year he takes a small group of his clients to a culinary tour of Sicily, his homeland, where one can learn special cooking with his family! And sample the best Sicily has to offer. A wonderful thing to do!

I had their jarred sauce which they sell in some stores and it was really good so I had high hopes for the restaurant experience. The manicotti was tough and the ricotta filling was bland. The meatballs are good. Was expecting a higher level of food. If you re in an area with only big box restaurants then it is a great choice. Service was great and the atmosphere cozy but a bit loud.

They overbooked their valentines day special. Waited over 15 min before a hostess even aknowledged us then told we would have to wait even longer, this was already 15 min past our reservation time. People were lined up outside waiting in the cold since the restaurant is so small and packed..Decided to leave and not spend $80 per person in a loud packed restaurant.

I had a chicken dish with asparagus and fontina cheese. I have a new favourite dish now. It was so amazing. Great food, great service, great owner...love it even more now.

We had a lovely date night at the pocopazzo. I had the fettuccine poco pazzo and my husband had gemelli gorgonzola. While I found his pasta underwhelming, I did truly enjoyed mine! It was very creamy and the pasta was done just right. The portion sizes were HUGE. We only ordered the pasta with no appetizers and we barely finished our pasta dishes.

I had originally made reservations for 4 on Sept 9 at 7:00pm. On the day of the reservation I received a call from the restaurant asking if I could change my reservation to 7:15pm. Not a problem. We arrived at 7:15 and were seated promptly. We had cocktails before dinner and appetizers as ordered. Thereafter we watched customers (even those who arrived after us) being served their dinners while we patiently waited. At around 8:30pm I called the waitress (Rose) over to let her know that the wait was becoming unreasonable. I let her know that in future she might want to be proactive to get in front of any issues and address them with the customer before the customer did. I also suggested that she might want to consider a complementary bottle of wine given we had finished the one we had ordered for dinner. It was in jest but with a little truth attached. She apologized and said our dinners would be arriving shortly. We didnt receive our orders till after 9:25pm over 2 hours after sitting down. No compensation was offered nor was any part of the meal credited as a conciliatory offer as a result of the completely unreasonable delay. I tipped reasonably because I felt that the servers were not responsible for the delays we experienced, but I was very disappointed with how the issue not addressed. We received our bill paid and left at 10:15pm. Our table discussion became focused on the long wait for our meal and took away from the celebration intended. Totally unacceptable for an established restaurant. Ive said many times Ill take average food and great service over great food and terrible service. Well tonight I got the latter.

What a gem of a place for anyone craving good Italian food. We had Poco Pazzo Fettucine along with kids Sphagetti& meatballs and both the dishes were amazing. The flavours are perfectly balanced and portion size is pretty generous. The service could be a tad faster but considering it was a friday night and rush hour, it was ok. Kid-friendliness: Have couple of kids menu options i.e Fettucine Alfredo and Sphagetti with meatballs

My husband and I have been looking for an amazing restaurant for quite some time now and this restaurant is exactly what we have been looking for. Great food, tasty and with generous portions.

4 Stars: Less than perfect customer service reduced it from 5. Food was very good. However, we confirmed a reservation for a specific table as my wife has special requirements. They did not honour that specific reservation. I have since received a call from the owner. It seems their table reservations can be rather fluid depending on several factors.I only hope they understand now why this was an important issue for one of their guests.

December 22, 2022

The food is spectacular but we ate on the patio and the smokers all around the patio destroyed the meal. The restaurant really needs to deal with this as it destroys the experience, the taste of the food, etc. very disappointing to have a potentially excellent meal destroyed by this.

December 22, 2022

Linguine Pescatorie. One scallop, two shrimp, a few mussels in a tomato sauce that tasted like a can of tomato soup. No flavour at all! Will not be back. Very pricey. Service was very good.

Pleasant ambience and excellent service. The restaurant is darker than I would like but once your eyes adapt it is fine. The menu is extensive but not overwhelming and the food is well prepared, well presented and favourful. No doubt one of the better Italian restaurants in the west end. I will be back.

December 22, 2022

What started as a lovely evening out and seemingly great service, came to an abrupt end when we were given the bill as soon as we stopped eating our main. We were not offered coffee or the dessert menu so we paid and left. If they had needed the table for an upcoming reservation all they needed to do was say as much. We won t hurry back.

Good food, slightly underseasoned. Large appetizer portions. The staff were very friendly. Tables are well spread out. Rating would have been 4 stars, but the music from the neighbouring Brew Revolution was SO loud we could barely have a conversation at the table without yelling, let alone trying to hear the servers. Servers understood and mentioned they have not had luck with asking the Brew Revolution to turn down their music. It really had an affect on our dining experience. I would not reccomend the patio if Brew Revoltion has live music playing in the parking lot (not even on their own patio). Please consider switching to more environmentally friendly take-out containers.

I used to love the march road location so figured I would love this one. Super disappointed. First they brought us our entrees before our appetizers. When we said we never got our apps they said Ohhh these must not be yours (even though they clearly were our 4 meals). Later we were told they were for take out....but we knew they werent. Then it took another 25 mins for us to get our apps about an hour in. Bruschetta was just tomatoes on cold bread. No cheese, no drizzle. The antioesto for four had 6 pieces of cheese and was a pile of salami and prosciutto that they didnt even cut. Then we waited another 40 minutes for our meals. My chicken parm was very over done but the rest was ok. Then as we finish and think about desert we get told sorry but your close to your 2 hour max sitting. Not our fault it took this long but sure i suppose. Not to mention we were nit attended to for nearly 30 minutes after we asked where our apps were. This is nowhere close to the quality and care given at the march road location. The only reason it gets 2 stars is because at least our server was pleasant when she was around. Used to be our go to date night restaurant. Now your better off going to Ale amberwood lounge, the keg, or chop because this place has gone way way downhill.

December 22, 2021

Very Disappointing to Say the Least!! We ordered at 5:00pm and waited until 7:25 to get our order which is understandable. However, neither meal was what we ordered. For the price of quality food but not receiving what you ordered it s time to say goodbye . We are from Dunrobin and have been loyal March Road customers for 9 years and were happy to drive to Stittsville to continue our support. Unfortunately, it s time! Thank you Manny and best wishes.

Probably to do with the pandemic, cause seems to be the trend in many places, but food quality is a bit sad. Especially when youve had the dish multiple times and its one of your favorites, but not edible here. Only sweetness in meat(much more than should be there traditionally), no herbs or anything to add depth to flavor or make it taste remotely Italian. Disappointed!

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!

December 22, 2020

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 wont even discuss the over cooked zucchini sticks. Save ur money ppl

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.

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.

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 werent slamed when our order went in.

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 dont 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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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 its quite noisy when busy. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this place. Well be back!

I dont give out 5 stars often, but i was in last night and it was an exceptional evening and well deserving of this rating. Lets 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.

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 shouldve 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, dont order tomato sauce dishes. It was similar to fast food/east side Marios pasta sauce. May be the sugary taste appeals to north americans more than the rest...

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.
