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! Read more
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. 🫣 Read more
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. Read more
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 Read more
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. Read more
