SALTY. Food was creamy and salty, had to drink a 3 bottles of water after the meal. Very nice looking spot, but the food is average at best.
Disappointed. After reading all the good reviews we decided to try this restaurant. We made a reservation but the only availability was for 8:00 pm. When we arrived, they didnt have our reservation (made over the phone), but they had a table available, only that one of the chairs was wet. Luckily we noticed before we sat. The problem was that we felt very rushed. Starting with the waitress asking what we would like to drink, even before we had the menu or wine list. Then after we got the menu, we had less than 2 minutes and she was back to take our orders. We shared an appetizer Calamari. That was really bad – uncooked. It was impossible to chew. Then we got the main dishes which were nothing more than ok. During dinner, our waitress disappeared and another one came. I can only assume that that original waitress finished her shift, as most of the patrons left by then. Maybe it explains why we were so rushed with the order.Because we felt so hurried, we didnt bother with desert. In all we were out of there in less than an hour. Maybe it was our mistake to take a late reservation, but we wont be back.
Awesome. Good food, excellent service and great atmosphere. Downtown feel in the suburbs.
Poco Pazzo – Fantastic Food and Service. I have dined a Poco Pazzo many times and the food is always fantastic! The customer service and servers are some of the best in the business.I will continue to eat and recommend Poco Pazzo !
BEST Italian restaurant in Ottawa. My family is Italian and we come to this location for all family birthdays. Yesterday we went and I ordered the Principessa dish which is boneless chicken/ ham/ asparagus in a peppercorn sauce. It was to die for. I usually don’t order something twice but when I go back I will be getting this again. This place has the friendliest staff and by far the best Italian food I’ve ever had. The portions are so large that you really get what you pay for unlike other high end restaurants that charge you an arm and a leg for two bits of food.
Crossed this one of the list!. I was in a large party at this restaurant last night, and there is no way I would ever return. Having worked in a few fine-dining restaurants, I know good food, and this was not good food. Not by a long stretch. The apps were the best part of – but then, it would take a lot of effort to mess up bruschetta, calamari and fried smelts.The veal marsala was substandard, according to all three people who had it. I ordered the steak and 5 minutes before the apps came, was told that there was none. Great communication there between kitchen and waitstaff…not. Ordered the special instead, the veal-stuffed giant pasta shells in gorgonzola sauce. Absolutely awful. The so-called child-sized portion was far too much for the child vainly trying to make a dent in it.The presentation was nonexistent. A few slivers of red pepper atop four bloated pasta shells the size of a baby’s fist, stuffed with heavily sauced veal and drowning in gorgonzola sauce – ugh. Neither I nor my bf finished our portions. Everything was heavy and leaden. Only the house red was any good.But there was one less thing less inspiring and lacklustre than the food, and that was the server. She showed no interest whatsoever in us and was basically as indifferent and bored as could be – never mind that we were the biggest table there of the four occupied ones.I also watched with horror as another server carried a glass of wine to another table. Cradling the bowl of the glass, in her hand. WTF?! Uh, trays are at a premium there?All I know is that the only reason I didn’t go off on the server and demand that our entrees be comped was because the dear old 91-year-old lady was treating us. It was her birthday, not that anyone bothered to ask if it was a special occasion.Ah yes, and my bf and in-laws are Italian. They know their stuff.Huge thumbs down.
