    It is a nice and casual place that offers coffee, pizzas, desserts , salad and many other things. You can dine in it is really cozy but the setting area is really small. I tried the salmon pizza and it was perfect. My friend tried the hot chocolate and she thinks it is really good. I also tried the pistachio cookies and it was great. The food was fresh and amazing. It is really highly recommended.

    Have walked past here a few times and the window display always looks beautiful, and it seems busy whenever I drive or walk past. So decided to have lunch from here on Wednesday. Its different to the "normal" Italian places, it just tastes different, I'm assuming they make and bake everything here, it tasted like they did and there was a chef bringing out food from the back. Anyway, we ordered some pizza slices and a cannoli each, it all tasted great, especially the cannoli 😁 My only gripe is that I prefer thin crust pizzas and they are a little thick here, but they still tasted great.They do a lot of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options, if that's what you like. Parking is available at the back or in other side streets and prices are reasonable too. This road is becoming ace for cool food places, it's not far from Smak the Polish kitchen, another of my favourites. I'll definitely come back again and recommend this place highly, if only to stare at the amazing window display 😊👌

    Great choice of italian food, snacks and desserts. And it tastes so delicious. Definitely must try. Worth to visit. Only downside for us there is no sitting area so you can't eat in, it's a bit shame because if we could eat in we would definitely eat more😆 Everything looks so great it's hard to choose.

    My partner (Italian) recommended this so we made the trip yesterday and it did not disappoint! As we're leaving Leeds soon we won't get another chance to visit so we decided to splash out & spent £34 getting a wide selection!! The food was delicious, so fresh & full of flavour and was filling too - we ended up having it for dinner & tea! Highly recommended!!

    Lovely little Italian takeaway! The pizza slices are really nice, the coffee is tasty but like rocket fuel. It gets quite busy here though so you might have to wait for a while. The young girl that works here is very friendly.

    I live locally and frequently walk past, there's always people lining up to get things so me and my partner went this evening to pick some things up. As we were walking past the window, the guy working there was full on digging around in his nose. Absolutely gross, so we gave it a miss! The time was between 4:00 and 4:30pm 24/11/20. So thanks but no thanks!

    Really nice little authentic place. Great food but a little on the expensive side.

  • 5/5 Alex T. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing authentic cicilian food. Takes me back to Italy. Hand down one of the best little spots in Leeds

  • 5/5 Richard H. 3 years ago on Google
    What a great experience! I had the pleasure of visiting Poco yesterday when I was staying over in West Leeds and I'm so glad I did! The pizza was amazing! It was full of flavour in a way that every other pizza in England is not! It was a taste sensation. The bolognaise arancini were wonderful too. I'd drive the hour back to Leeds just to eat here again. Go visit. You will not be disappointed

    Amazing open for take away to help you through lockdown part 2

  • 5/5 Michele F. 2 years ago on Google
    I have tasted the fantastic pizza many times, but this time I wanted to threat myself to some pastries. Tried the viennese and a couple of the cannoli, was not disappointed. Prices are aligned with the average ones in Leeds, but at least here you can taste a little bit of the Sicilian tradition in pasticceria. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Adele T. 2 years ago on Google
    The pizza slices, coffee and desserts were amazing. The lady serving behind the counter was really friendly too.

  • 5/5 Kelseigh P. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited this place a few times and the food is always amazing, the pizza slices are so good and love the seasonal additions to the menu!

  • 5/5 Arun A. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute selection of traditional Italian savouries and snacks on outside display, and dessert options inside. Prices reasonable. Delicious authentic Italian hot chocolate which I've never had before. Long narrow table for dining in, can take about 3 people max. Seen another Poco on Maps in Headingley too, might check it out.

  • 5/5 Jon K. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic, traditional Italian cafe. Amazing pizza slices, one of the best slices of lasagna I've ever had and some truly fantastic desserts. If you want a quick and easy takeaway and like Italian food you absolutely have to go here! Proper Italian street food at amazing prices.

  • 5/5 Becky N. 1 year ago on Google
    Love, love, love Poco. We regularly stop here for lunch. You can take away hot food, or take away cold food to heat at home, or eat in at the small bar. Fantastic pizza bases, deep, fluffy and ridiculously light. I noted they also do the frozen Italian coffee which means I'll have to revisit soon!

  • 5/5 Paulo M. 9 months ago on Google
    I was very impressed with everything in this shop, it was exactly what I was looking for: a quick bite at an affordable price. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful

  • 5/5 Alex 9 months ago on Google
    Tasty food, nice Staff and cosy inside. I tried focaccia with broccoli it was really tasty👌

  • 5/5 Kit Hui T. 5 months ago on Google
    We came here for the arancini. It was probably some of the most delicious street food I’ve ever had. They were perfectly fried. The shop has a huge variety of dishes and dessert and we would love to come back for more.

  • 5/5 Bee S. 9 months ago on Google
    Pistachio croissant blew my mind! Great coffee, friendly staff. Only a small bar to sit at so best for take-away, although perfect if you want to quickly scran your food!

  • 5/5 Kathryn H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing and will definitely be going back. The arancini and cannoli's were just so tasty. The person who served us was very friendly and helpful, they marked heating instructions on all the items. There is a car park at the back of the shop which is a little sketchy, but it's fine for going to the shop. There are only a couple of seats at a ledge type table, it's more of a takeaway deli than a cafe. I highly recommend it here if you love Italian food.

    Wow just amazing... We are big street food fans... so this place was high up on our list of eateries. As they say best to last. The food is made on the day and is to die for. We ordered calzone which I've eating many but none as good as this. Easy a 10/10 An Italian style sandwich/toastie very very nice. A trio of pastry stuffed with Nutella. You can imagine how good they were. ** edit 06/05/2019 We returned a second time for poco on our way to Manchester for a gig. That's how good this place is we diverted to Leeds for our tea at POCO. It was worth every bite, Sicilian pizza, sandwich and arancini balls pure heaven. So cheap too, can't wait for our next visit. Leeds is so lucky having POCO! **update June 2019 No trip to leeds is complete without a trip to POCO. The food is simply divine. The staff are helpful and cleary very talented. The little cafe is perfect for sitting in or taking away. We took away on this occasion and had a car picnic. Our visit before last we detoured just to eat here. We love POCO. What's even more impressive is how attentive the manager is replying to the reviews that gave negative comments. Clearly only the best will do for this guy, its evident in his food. Now to think of an excuse to visit poco again. *Update 08/09/2019 We popped into POCO on the way to manchester. We got hearty meal between us and as always we were not disappointed. Spicy pizza, parma ham sandwich and a trio of Italian desserts. Definitely worth the detour into leeds.

    Very yummy authentic Sicilian food!

  • 5/5 Joshua W. 3 years ago on Google
    Took me a while to venture into Poco and I have no idea why!! The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the food is just divine. Definitely top of my list are the Bolognese arancini! Very easy to stop in and get some delicious food!

  • 5/5 andrew e. 3 years ago on Google
    Wow. Obviously high quality, fresh ingredients used to produce a stella array of food. Great for carnivores & vegetarians. The veg Arancini are bursting with basil and the cannoli so deliciously creamy. Basically I’m just looking for a reason to head down Kirkstall road again now...

  • 4/5 Bev C. 3 years ago on Google
    Called in after a walk in Kirkstall Nature reserve. Had the Spinach and Ricotta arancini, very rich and satisfying. Deep fried calzone went down well too. Shared a delicious ring donut... top marks

  • 5/5 Diana H. 3 years ago on Google
    We went to an Italian restaurant in Leeds and they didn’t have cannoli or any decent deserts on the menu so we called in to Poco on the way home at 9pm. We had never been here before and had only driven past and seen all the lovely things in the window. We will certainly be back! The two cannolis and the almond cherry biscuit we had were delicious. This was the best part of our night out and beat the £100 we had just spent on food in Leeds!

  • 5/5 Marley H. 3 years ago on Google
    I eat in this great spot many times a year! This is the best place to have a bite. I visit this spot frequently. The food is very tasty, the workers are friendly and the prices are affordable. I like eating in this place over a decent lunch.

  • 5/5 Helen D. 3 years ago on Google
    Called in today for pizza.. lovely but note to self (and others) one slice is big enough for 2! Also the cannoli are divine!

  • 5/5 Richard T. 3 years ago on Google
    Been meaning to call in for ages and wasn't disappointed really enjoyed the food plus it was something different from the normal definitely worth a vist

  • 1/5 Kathryn B. 3 years ago on Google
    Greasy food lacking in flavour. For a sicilian street food id expect the pizza base to be full of flavour.
