Don't make the mistake that I did and assumed there was some seating area as there is not.
I love coming for the cannolis (although they are a bit pricey for the size you get) and this time I got the chocolate filled croissant which was nice.
Overall a 7/10
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!!
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.
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 😊👌
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
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.

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!

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.

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.
Tasty food, nice Staff and cosy inside.
I tried focaccia with broccoli it was really tasty👌
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The pizza slices, coffee and desserts were amazing.
The lady serving behind the counter was really friendly too.
