The best resto in Ayala Triangle, IMHO. Bacon Slabs + Aglio Olio + Blackout Chocolate Cake is the ultimate combination to beat hump day stress. The bacon slabs is good enough for two, but I can finish one order by myself :) The aglio olio is light enough to be paired with anything. The Blackout Chocolate Cake is one of the best in the metro, so I always say a little prayer that it is available when I visit. I've never been disappointed in any of my visits to this branch.
Definitely a go-to for quiet Fridates. I love the chill yet classy vibe here.
My favorites are their callos and bacon slabs. The callos has very tender meat with a rich, flavorful sauce. The bacon slabs are a must try! The serving size is generous enough to be shared by two people. Their vanilla bean ice cream also deserves a mention.
The service is also very consistent. On my several visits, all the servers assigned to us were very attentive and prompt to address our requests. You can tell that they are knowledgeable with their menu items, especially their wine selection. This is where I discovered Lambrusco (recommended by a server), which is now my favorite wine. Kudos to the servers of Poco Deli!
Poco Deli is the home of so many sweet memories I had, when my office was still located in Ayala Ave.
I have always loved their Bacon Slabs, Pasta, and Pizza dishes. Though I wasn’t able to take photos of all of them, heres what i generally think of Poco:
Food - most dishes are just really good for a bit hungry adult woman. Haha! It’s always a good idea to get one for each person, and get a for-sharing meal. Wine is good!
-my fave is the sausage platter and the shrimp salad!
-of course, bacon slab!
-least fave would be Peso Pasta!
Ambience - very neat, floors are clean, utensils are placed in a container per table. Although if the place is full, you’d totally hear other people’s conversation. But it’s not on an annoying level.
Service - sometimes they’re fast, sometimes they’re really really slow. Better to always go before peak hours!
