Poco Pazzo

Had a lovely meal here with friends. They had a bottle of Merlot which they said was amazing with their meal of lasagna and gamberino con vino Blanco.

Seems both meals were delicious enough as to require finger swiping the plate before handing off to server.

For a starter, I ordered their Poco Pazzo salad which was very savoury and delicious. No skimping on the ingredients here. My partner ordered the calamari. They were cooked to perfection, no rubbery chewing at all.

My side of the table had carbonara which was our server’s favourite. My partner when asked how it was said “I can see why this is his favourite.” The pasta bowl was filled with no skimping on pasta or all the necessary carbonara ingredients.

The 4-star given is based on my order of the saltimbocca allá Romana. My fault for not realizing it was made with beef instead of chicken. BUT the beef was tough and over cooked. Cheese and prosciutto were...

Poco Pazzo was really fun and had great food. We had appetizers of bruschetta, which were fine, and the meat (ham) & cheese platter, which was delicious. There were eight in our group so we had many entrees. The best was the large shrimp vodka and the crispy thin pizzas. Also good were the fish fillet in tomato & capers and the gnocchi was in a tangy marinara. We ordered two salads which were huge and fed the whole table. For dessert we shared (we were already stuffed!) a tiramisu which was light yet had a delicious coffee flavor. The servers were excellent, they understood most of our English, were friendly & helpful. It was a particularly busy evening and we had a good laugh that there was only one menu to share at our table and it took quite awhile to find the required number of wine glasses. The ambiance was fun outside by the marina. You can’t beat the price as our diner with drinks was less than $30...

We took a taxi to try Poco, we were seated quickly and served delicious garlic bread, however sat for over 20 minutes to order a drink or to receive a menu (waitress walked by, made eye contact and continued on until I stopped her, requesting a menu)! We had the cannelloni and pizza; which were both delicious. Dining atmosphere was very nice (evening along the water)! Again, service throughout the dining experience was not good. Provided the waiter (we had about 3 throughout evening???) with cash for our bill, and had to request our change after waiting another lengthy period. After our departure we could not find transport and ended up walking a pretty good distance (uphill) before finding a taxi! Nobody could get us one at any of the security gates (?). All in all for us, the food was very good, service not so much! Will try this place again with expectations based on our...
