    This place was shown to me by a friend of mine but I loved it so much that I am going there all the time and it's been perfect every time. It's a small family owned Italian/Mexican restaurant run by an Italian and his Bulgarian wife Maria. It is hushed away and hard to find but I think that these are the best places to visit. They are extremely friendly, Maria knows most of the customers by name and can talk with anyone about anything. The Italian guy is cooking and his wife is the one taking care of the customers, they speak 3 languages: Italian, Bulgarian and English so it will be easy for people of different nationalities to visit. The food is simply amazing, they only work with high quality ingredients some of which they bring back from their visits to Italy. You should definitely visit in the beginning of the year when they have come back from Italy after their Christmas vacation. They always bring pistachio with them and make a pistachio pasta to die for but only at this time of the year. I really can't find a reason not to go to Poco Loco, I go there all the time with my friends, we even make plans about going there in advance, we love it so much.

    Excellent service & tasty Italian food. I have tried the pizza, lasagna and a few salads (went twice). Recommend if you are looking for a nice romantic place in Plovdiv.

  • 1/5 Creciendo En El Hip H. 6 years ago on Google
    Awful service! The worst I have ever received in Plovdiv as a person from Plovdiv. An extremely arrogant waitress who thinks she knows better than the best chefs in the world and treats customers like they are ignorant peasants, refusing to request the chef to make particular dishes. The waitress pretends to be the queen of Italian cuisine, continuously pointing out that the chef is from Sardinia, even though she fails to recall that Sardinia is not famous in Italy for its cuisine! Upon requesting to replace spaghetti with short pasta she insulted me by telling me this is like eating Bulgarian moussaka with ketchup. The comparison is both insulting and meaningless. Yet, the dessert included profiteroles filled with ice-cream, which is not the authentic profiteroles filled with vanilla cream recipe. Further, the restaurant served seafood risotto in rich tomato sauce, which is not the authentic Italian recipe. Nevertheless, the recipes are not really the problem, but the awful arrogant attitude of the waitress. She did not even bother to find out if I need anything further and I left the restaurant without having dinner! An Italian would never allow a customer to leave the restaurant hungry! Hence, before pretending to be the best in the world, the staff should get their facts and attitude straight. I will never set a foot in this place again. Especially considering the excruciating prices which one pays for being insulted and left hungry! It seems Bulgarians are considered too ignorant to know what is good food and what is Italian food by the staff in this restaurant!

  • 4/5 teodora t. 6 years ago on Google
    Very delicious food. Big portions. Too big :) i feel full now. I think it is a little bit more expensive than it should be though. For example a bottle of Staropramen beer is bgn 3.40. I've never paid so much for Staropramen. Pasta is also expensive - not less than bgn 10 and more. Other specialties are around bgn 15 and more, which is ridiculous. For seafood -ok. So actually pizzas had the most reasonable prices...which we had. But i would probably go back because the place is very comfi and quiet and the service was great.
