We ate at Pochino today for the first time. WOW. Let’s start with the fact that they have a health score of 100. The restaurant looks like it opened yesterday, but they’ve been in business for over a year. Adorable shop. Love the decor. But the food…amazing. We had the Formaggi Pasta (best ever Alfredo ever), the Caprese sandwich (loved every bite), and a pizza. BEST CRUST EVER!!! We met one of the owners, Jennifer, who was so sweet and told us a lot of background. They bring over a lot of their ingredients from Italy. It makes ALL the difference. And yet the pricing is still reasonable. The entire staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. And let’s not forget the made when you order cannoli. We will definitely be back. Often! So impressed!

What a cute little place! Great, quick Italian food. The gnocchi in a creamy pesto (special request) was divine and I will definitely be back for that exact meal. Son had a pizza and hubby had the bolognese penne. All were huge hits. The two working were pleasant and accommodating to our requests.

This place was so good!! You have so many choices. My daughter and I got two different sauces with two different pastas to share. Both delicious. Perfect size salads. And the tiramisu…. Excellent!!! Will go back next time I’m in Kennesaw!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was an amazing experience. I ordered penne pasta made in pesto sauce and it tasted so fresh and delizioso and felt so authentic. The people here are so good that they offered me a complimentary cannoli. Service is indescribable.

The manager was very friendly and gave us a personal tour of the menu! We stuck with the basics, Spaghetti Bolognese and Pepperoni/sausage pizza, and were blown away by the flavor and quality. Even my often picky toddler was digging in. We'll definitely be back!
Kid-friendliness: Everything is easy to share with kids! They even have kids sized drinks and gelato.

Very good food and excellent service. Every member of the staff was super polite and helpful. I would highly recommend stopping here if you're in the Kennesaw area.

I'm giving them a 5 for the fresh made pasta, service and cleanliness. All great. The chicken meat wasn't good, tasted and looked like fake chicken. The proteins need to improve and have a few more options for us to return regularly .

My husband, son, daughter, and myself enjoyed a dinner at Pochino’s last night. This was our first time visiting and we’re excited because there are only chains around here, not true Italian restaurants. Let me tell you, from the time we walked in to the time we left they were amazing. Super friendly, extremely inviting, and overall just wonderful. The food was amazing and they handmade their noodles! This is probably one of the best places I have eaten at in terms of restaurants and customer service. Their workers were all extremely genuine and you could tell they enjoyed their job and serving people.
I highly recommend giving this place a shot and we will definitely be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pochino, a delightful Italian restaurant conveniently located near Kennesaw State University, and I was thoroughly impressed. I decided to dine in while also picking up dinner for my wife and kids, and the experience was fantastic. The pasta was exceptional, with the spaghetti Bolognese being a standout—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The pizza, boasting a crisp crust and fresh toppings, was undoubtedly the best I’ve ever had; Pochino has officially become my go-to pizza spot. I also ordered a salad with grilled chicken for my wife, and it was fresh and crisp, just as she likes it.
To cap off the meal, the cannoli was divine—sweet, creamy filling encased in a perfectly crunchy shell. The iced tea was brewed to perfection, providing a refreshing balance to the rich flavors of the dishes.
The service at Pochino was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring both the dine-in and takeout experiences were top-notch. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy lunch or bring the whole family for a meal. For anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine, Pochino is an absolute must-visit.

The staff was some of the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. The food was fresh and fast. The cookies were an welcome treat that were authentic Italian short bread. This is a must try spot.

Went here with the family and we were pleasantly surprised at how great everything tasted. Kids said the pizza was the best they ever had. They have a machine that makes fresh pasta right in front of me and the pasta was amazing. I also recommend the caramel gelato too. Was told this store is original store, hope they open up more around my area.
