I love this branch because it isn’t always packed (or we just happen to go at its off-peak hours?). Went here for dessert. My friends swear by their Blackout Chocolate Cake. It is so thick and heavy that it is, ideally, shared and enjoyed at a slow pace. We partnered it with riesling (but coffee is just as fine).
At long last, despite being in Kapitolyo area, I have yet to try this place and thankfully it was the place that I exactly envisioned in my head: small, cozy, delicious food, simply comforting.
The thing is, Poco Deli's place was actually a surprise to me. I feel like it's a mini-size Brotzeit, a popular German restaurant/bar in EDSA Shangri La, boasting German-native foods like sausages, beers, schnitzels, tortes and the like. Unlike Brotzeit though, Poco Deli is more on wines than beers, although the latter is serving some cold ginger/ale beers and some other European versions like Erdinger, Hoegaarden and Groslch.
Poco Deli is rather simplistic. I ordered for their "The Carnivore" so I could have a preliminary venture of their meat dishes. What I ordered is jam-packed with a slab of bacon, two smoked bbq ribs (there's an alternative choice of meat loaf which I later realized but they gave me this one), Kielbasa Sausage and some mini versions of lightly toasted pita breads. It is also accompanied by a small cup of sauerkraut. What I loved was the presentation. The Carnivore is served on a wooden chopping board with paper covering. Very simplistic but nice.
I loved all three meat delicacies served. Although I tasted something better than their smoked bbq ribs, it was still quite very good. The bacon slab was a winner. I can't wait to try their breakfast version where it is served with eggs and good helping of rice. The Kielbasa Sausage was the total winner. Juicy, succulent and tasty, I loved it to the last bite. Partner it with sauerkraut then you got a two punch team knocking your senses. I find the miniature pita breads good too, a little surprised how it can go well actually with the meat variants I ate.
I also learned that Poco Deli is quite known for its good wine selection. I even noticed from the facade of it restaurant a chalk board happy hour reminder. Though I'm still learning the ropes of wine artistry, I didn't go for it, instead I needed caffeine that day given I just arrived from vacation. To my surprise they only had "brewed coffee" in their menu and when I tasted it it's not bad plus it's organic.
What struck me really was the place. I really loved the coziness it radiates. It felt like I finally found my favorite spot. This is exactly the place that I'll keep coming back because of the comfort vibe it exhibits.
Given it is close in my neighborhood, Poco Deli caught my heart. I'll definitely visit again and again.

It was actually my first time to eat at Poco Deli just a few days ago. My family and I ordered pizza, pasta, and a rice meal. They loved the pizza and said it was worth its price but not so much the pasta. As for my meal, I think 420 is a little bit expensive for corned beef but after tasting the quality of the meat I got where the price was coming from. Food aside, I super love the ambience of the place as well as the wine collection on display-- so many choices to drink. I recommend eating here once in a while if you got money to spend or want to treat you're loved ones out on a date.
My all time favorite, go-to-resto, comfort food!! It is always a great dining experience here.
Bacon slab for the win!! (Make it a double!)
Got the truffle pasta with mushroom, and bacon slab. And just like then, poco deli holds a special place in our heart. Still warms the heart, makes us smile and always crave for more
If it's your first time, try their BACON SLAB. Pasta is a good add-on too. A small quiet place to relax, unwind and drink wine. Parking might be a challenge but you can ask some manong to help you find a spot.
Never fails for a good lunch. Sausage and cheese platter, truffle mushroom pasta are to die for. Add to that their artisanal ice cream variants to cap the hearty meal.
Went here earlier this lunch time. The place may be small but the ambience ia great! Food is great specially the dessert! Ordered New York Pastrami Sandwich. Like in my other reviews, i don't know if this is perfectly seasoned or what pero swak sa panlasa ko. Masarap! The Chocolate Midnight something cake is perfect!
My hubby and I will be back here soon. This place is perfect for date with your special someone or with family. The food is superb. I like the sausages!!!
Already set my mind to order their bacon slab. It's been a long time since I ate here but I still remember how good it is. Sadly, the slab has definitely gone smaller. Taste is still the same, still yuuuuum!
We also ordered the truffle and mushroom pasta as suggested by the staff and thoroughly enjoyed it as well.
Excited to come back more often!
