Poco Pazzo

Dined there on a Saturday night with a party of 6. By the time we left it was full.
Two of us enjoyed the chicken parmegian, I with the small Caesar salad which was plenty large enough. Excellent. Pls lots of bread available. Others had the minestrone soup, manicotti, fettuccini and spaghetti with meat balls. All were terrific. Large servings. Gluten free and wheat pastas available along with a full bar.
Located in a shopping center with lots of parking right out front.

Love love love this restaurant. Food is great, staff is friendly and lots of delicious options to choose from. A large group of us meet here regularly for dinner, and we are always pleased with both the food and service. The shrimp appetizer (gamberi al pepenero) is sooooo good and a decadent treat to start with. For mains you can’t go wrong with fettuccine Poco Pazzo or my fave, veal fiorentina.

Always like the food here but even better the service I do pick up all the time and something was forgotten called the owner they offered to drive it out to my house I said no I’ll come get it gift card desserts I’ll definitely keep coming back that’s customer service I appreciate

I’ve eaten at this restaurant and also had takeout from it. It’s fabulous. The entire menu is available for takeout which is great particularly if you have kids and want to have dinner at home instead of going to the restaurant. The food was excellent. The eggplant appetizer is to die for as was the homemade tomato sauce. Gluten-​free pasta is also available Highly recommend this restaurant.

Good food but very pricey. They charged me over $ 18 for spaghetti and meatballs, takeout! It was good but I have not been back since because the prices are high.
So, I thought it was time for a review since I have been back here a few times. I still think that it is a bit expensive but the food is is oh so good and well worth it, it truly is. The dish I seem to have the most often when Im here is the chicken parm with prawns and fettuccine alfredo. I honestly should be 400lbs. This is such a rich, tasty, wonderful stretch my belly in a good way meal! The service is so good, they are really friendly and helpful with your questions or suggestions. Highly recommend if you are looking for wonderful italian food. Even if it is a bit on the pricey side.

Pricey but worth your while! Food was delicious, wine was excellent, but the service was mediocre. I can’t really bash the waitresses to much because the place is ALWAYS crowded aka– Too many tables for such a small restaurant., and there aren’t enough staff for the number of customers. The owner brought out our food himself, which was a very nice touch! Shows that he loves what he does and is very proud.

Dropped into this new location for a holiday lunch with some friends. The location is pretty new and is located within a new plaza with a Sobey’s. You really can’t miss the Sobey’s so you should be able to find this place!
We were sat very quickly and our waitress was like superwoman! She took our order, brought our drinks and then took our orders all within minutes of arriving. After she brought our orders to the back she came back with some fresh baked bread! The bread was good and she brought the classic north american olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip to our table. We got through the bread pretty quickly and had some great conversation before our food arrived.
Everything smelled great, I ordered the Poco Pazzo combination which had cannelloni, chicken and a salad.
I cut into the cannelloni first and had a taste. It was alright. The chicken was up next! I liked the chicken, it was cooked perfectly and the sauce was tasty. The salad on the side was alright as well.
I feel the meal was ok… I think spending some good time in Italy the last few months let me try some fantastic food over there and changed my bar on Italian food. The meal was definitely decent and will be my standard for Italian food in Ottawa. I think it was one of the better Italian meals I’ve had in town but not as good as some of the other Italian restaurants I’ve tried in Canada and definitely not in the same class as some of the places in Italy. My combo for lunch was around $ 17 and the portions were average size. I thought it was a great portion size for lunch. i’ll be back next time I have a craving for Italian and will try something new.
