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!
Lovely place with cozy ambience, great for dates or family meals. The staff was also very accommodating. The sausage platter and cheese pizza were both very delicious and fulfilling. However, the corned beef with rice was a great disappointment. It was dry and not very flavourful. Overall, I had a great experience and would return but I will not reorder the rice meals.
Found this place by accident. Small cozy diner with decent lineups of wines and legit foods. Not cheap but not too expensive. Parking should be hard on the prime time on the weekends. Will come back for sure.
Excellent in all aspects. Food, service, and ambiance. I’d give 10 stars only if it was a great parking experience. ❤️❤️❤️ Try it and you will looove it! That’s the tapa meal I had. Sarap!
It was my first time to eat in Poco Deli and it did not disappoint me. We went there around lunch time on a Thursday and the place got super packed afterwards. Every staff is so accomodating and made sure that our order was complete. Parking wise, be sure to go there early since the available space is only limited. Tried their famous Bacon Slab and it was heaven on a plate. I will definitely try other dishes on their menu when I come back! :)
This branch is charming bursting with a lot of character and good food. What sets this place apart is their house made Sauerkraut this is impeccably good with all sausages. Bottles are for sales and well worth it. Good selection of sausages and they have a proper bacon that everyone must try.
I love love this quaint deli/restaurant! There’s great use of space considering the siZe of the dining area. Decorations/displays are on point. And the staff were friendly and always smiling!
I ordered the Norweigan Salmon Pasta and I super enjoyed it! It was creamy, and tasty and the portion can feed two!
Usually salmon pastas are served with shredded/flaked salmon you can barely taste the salmon. But this dish was served with generous chunks of salmon. I’d say it is worth the money you pay for! :)
I will definitely visit again!
Food for the soul! Get ready for your tummies to be filled with great food! Loved their sausages! But you got to try their bacon slab meal! Literally to die for! 😜 Went here around 4pm so we still got a parking space, so i would recommend to go here around that time if you are wprried about parking 😉
This is the 3rd Poco Deli branch we've been to. This time for breakfast though.
I had Corned Beef breakfast which consists of Beef Brisket smoked and brined with diced potatoes and bacon rice with fried egg. The beef was quite tasty. Deducted half a point for the indifferent way they served the supposed salad; just a dry leaf and tomato slice with no hint of dressing. I had this with Americano coffee.
My partner had the Gourmet Beef Tapa. Really large dish with surprisingly more beef strips than we expected. Quite tasty too. Came with bacon risk and 2 fried eggs. Paired with a mango juice.
Took out a cup of yummy Mint Chip ice cream.

My first trip to Poco Deli was around 5:30 p.m. on a Saturday. I was seated right away, order taking was quick and easy. I was very impressed with how clean the restaurant was and just how nice it looks on the inside.
The order was ready very quickly. Maybe 5 minutes, tops.
After reading some of the reviews on here...I had to try the bacon slab. I went with the half order (one slab), which comes with two eggs and bacon rice.
I have always loved thicker bacon (crispy isn't bad..thicker is just another level of bacon heaven). And this was every bit as good as advertised. The meal size was just enough, but I was really wishing I had gotten about 20 bacon slabs (because you can never have too many bacon slabs).
The eggs were cooked well. The rice isn't infused, it's just topped with bacon crumbles. But anything topped with bacon crumbles is automatically better.
As others have mentioned, it's a small seating area, so either go at an off-peak time like I did or be prepared to wait (though you can spend some of that time looking at the cakes in the display case).
If you haven't been to one of the Poco Deli branches, you are missing out. It's a must try.

Food:
- Quattro Carne Pizza, fair amount of meat toppings but what I really like was that it was also very cheesy. 5/5
- Spanish Callos, very tender beef and had a nice flavor to it, goes so well with the rice. 5/5
- Bacon Slab, you can never go wrong with this. Very juicy and tender and comes with 2 rggs and generous rice serving. Even the half order is very sulit! 5/5
Ambience: 4/5
- it had a quaint neighborhood deli vibe and I liked that it was small so it feels very cozy.
- The only downside is that if you feel like having a quiet night but the next table is a big and loud group, it might be a problem for you.
- Parang may "bleach" smell in the resto which made me feel like I was in a comfort room. Not sure where that was coming from. However as the night went by mejo nasanay nalang ako sa amoy. Lol
Service: 5/5
- waiters were very prompt and attentive (its a small space so they see you easily)
- waters were refilled without having us to ask
- parking in kapitolyo can be stressful so their resident guard was a big help. Also it was raining when we went and we parked on the other side of the street, sinundo nya pa kami ng payong.
Love buying their sausages also for wine nights at home because they are very good and at fair price points for something deli-made. Kielbasa, Hungarian and Cheese Krainier are our favorites.
The suprising thick Bacon Slab is the juiciest by far. The price is okay for the taste. A good place for a romantic date just is kapitolyo pasig.
This dining place looks so elegant! It's the perfect place to drink wine and have spontaneous conversations with friends. They have small space, though. Make sure to have a reservation.
When we went here, we ordered their best sellers (as stated in their menu). They got big serving + really really good food! We really enjoyed our dining experience in this resto. Fine dining feels --really good ambiance and food.
Visited for dinner and the intimate ambiance of the small space was better than expected.
Food was good although it was quite pricey for the serving size.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Perfect place to unwind with your significant other or barkada
We had a hankering for something not too heavy for dinner
A bottle of wine, charcuterie, several kinds of cheese, light jazz in the background...my kind of Saturday night.
Except I have 3 dates - the handsome hubby, 1st son and bunso 😜
Chef's Salad : The greens were crisp. The vinaigrette has the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I loved it. I wish there were more olives though
Cheese : pecorino, manchego , goat cheese. Im a cheese fiend so these made me happy
Red Wine: I loved their Lambrusco wine - sweet !
Quattro formaggio pizza: maybe more blue cheese next time to make it more interesting. It was a bit bland
Steak Sandwich : Bunso loved it!
Espresso cake : Supposedly their best selling cake. Loved the balance of bitter and sweet in the frosting and dark chocolate filling. The cake however was a bit on the dry side as if it was a couple pf days old. Sad and disappointing
Service : Winner! Our server was attentive and knows his stuff. He rattled off the kinds of sausages and cheeses served as well as the different options of red wines we can order. Good job! Unfortunately we forgot to get his name
Price: upwards of P600 per person but worth every peso because of the quality of wines and ingredients
Definitely coming back to try their bacon , pastas, steak next time and possibly some craft beer and more of their sausages😋😋😋
Tried their Bacon slab, pumpkin soup and margerita pizza. Their bacon slab was a stand out! I did not like their pumpkin soup, i think it is on the bland side. But will still return as I need to try more of their dishes!
My son and I came here for breakfast after a morning run in Ultra. I thought the place was too small, until I saw the sliding door next to the deli counter. The room inside isn't too big, but probably enough to accommodate more diners when it gets busy.
Food:
• Chef's Salad ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
simple, but good enough if you're looking for something healthy, and the veggies are fresh & crunchy
• Nürnberger Sausage Breakfast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
served on a sizzling hot pan with an egg and beautiful roasted tomatoes, and generous serving of sausages… looks delicious, tastes delicious!
• (Double) Smoked BBQ Ribs ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
again, generous serving and very flavourful!
This has to be one of the best beef pastrami sandwiches I have ever tried. It has mustard and their own homemade sauerkraut. It comes in a huge serving. It can even be shared by two.
They have a decent wine selection and a few imported beers.
Their own version of Vanilla been ice cream is very good and their cakes: carrot, rainbow and Rocky road.
When it comes to quality deli, you can never go wrong with Poco Deli. Place is small and has that warm vibe for friends to celebrate; intimate for couples' dates; or a lunch out for families.
Be sure to try out their bacon steak, or any of their available sausages.
And yes, they sell these sausages too for you to cook at home!
Place: 4/5 (could get really packed)
Food: 5/5
Price: 4/5 (expensive but worth it)
Service: 5/5
I won't forget the first I came to poco deli. I had bacon steak and when it came, I felt my saliva flow. When it bit into the bacon steak, it was the best bacon steak ever. Nothing will ever compare to it. Although it is a bit pricy, it doesn't disappoint. Can't wait to go again soon!

This is more intimate than the other Poco Deli I've visited. The ambiance is great and the food is awesome. They have quick service here and more personalized attention.
Why do people here in Zomato give too much unnecessary anecdotes? Why do you keep seeing reviews like "I went to this restaurant because I was too tired and I needed to unwind from this meeting I had two weeks ago with those two Japanese idiots who think they know IT?" You know, I think it's because partaking a meal is a social activity. And we're at a point where we're taking our base activities into the digital space.
Much like that person who keeps on talking about themselves over a glass of Pinot Grigio while you look away in disinterest thinking "I wonder what baby farts smell like" the reviews we got here are seemingly self-indulgent.
That's basically what my friend and I talked about when we were snacking on some sausages and Guinness. The sausages were okay, but the Guinness really helped the pensiveness.
Good food, Neat and tidy 👌. Pero nagbago yung Bacon Rice nila :( Dati crispy bits of bacon, as in punong puno ng bacon yung rice. Ngayon Bacon Slabs na chewy ang nakalagay, parang naging rice toppings na hehe. 3.5/5 For me ✌

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that this blog of ours would reach so many people, in such a short amount of time. Which is why every time someone tells me - whether through Facebook, Twitter, or in person - that they read my blog, I can't help but beam with pride. . Tiny is one particular reader that reached out to me through Instagram. It's a funny story how it happened, because nothing like this has ever happened to me before. Instagram alerted me that I got a mention from a user that I was not friends with. When I clicked on it, I wasn't allowed to view it because her profile was set to private. I was actually in the middle of doing something so I thought nothing of it. The next day, when i was fiddling around with Instagram again, I noticed the alert was still in my notifications. I took a good look at the little thumbnail and noticed something.
A nice cozy place to unwind or catch up with friends. Bacon slab was so good! Not salty but tasty and chewy just the way I like. Will try some sausages on my next visit.
What's not to love about this hole in the wall resto? My love for cheese, sausages and cold cuts plus wine are all here! Their bacon slab is uniquely tender and the best of its kind! I also love their callos. A must try for wine and cheese lovers out there!
Also try their bundaberg ginger beer (not really beer, just a mild carbonated ginger soda) paired with cassava chips. Delisyoso!
Poco deli's blackout chocolate cake belongs to the top 10 chocolate cakes in the metro in spot.ph's one article. And rightfully so. It is moist, with generous chocolate icing, but not too sweet.
First time we tried their all natural ice cream. The pistachio was goo with real pistachio bits. It was expensive though. P150.00 for one tiny cup. But the Bee wasn't complaining. He said it was really good and not artificially flavored.
Update:
The first time I ate here, I ordered their bacon slabs which I remember not liking very much.
Last month, we decided to eat here for a special and intimate occasion. Being still quite full, we only ordered tapas. We liked their lengua, but liked their gambas even more. I was especially delighted that lengua was served with rice with bacon! I particularly loved their drink called citrus delight - sooo yummy!
Back at the Kapitolyo branch, had several of my favorites like sausage platter, beef stew and the white mountain cake. I glad that they open their branch in BGC.

I just love lunch outs. It gives me that needed short break from the corners of my messy cubicle. Plus it is also refreshing to eat something else.
Last Monday, J and I went to Poco Deli to catch up. But to our surprise, there were no available parking slots. We then decided to go to Rub Ribs as there are more parking spaces there but since it was lunch time, the place was packed with hungry diners. We then went back to Poco Deli to check if there were still tables available and there were! So while I man the table, J parked the car.
It was my third time to visit this place but just my second time actually dining here (the second visit was a short one when I bought some sausages for N’s family). Anyway, since I heard that their Gourmet Tapa with Eggs and Bacon Rice (PHP280) is one of their best sellers and that some of my officemates raved about it, I just have to try it. I also ordered a glass of Poco’s Special Freshly Brewed Iced Tea (PHP65). J decided to order the same thing.
Service was quite quick as our meals were served in about 10 minutes. I guess they pre-cooked some of the food in anticipation of the lunch rush.
Two eggs, savory tapa, and bacon rice! What a lovely equation for lunch. The tapa was soft yet there were parts that needed a bit of effort to cut. Nonetheless, the sweetness of the tapa, saltiness of the bacon rice and the gooeyness of the egg yolks makes this one great meal!
The iced tea on the other hand was not bad at all. It was different from the typical store bought iced tea as this one had a stronger tea flavor.
I then remembered… I never tried their dessert. Sounds like a perfect excuse to visit again soon! :)
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
I got the Truffle Oil Pasta. When it was served, the smell of truffle oil was so strong it made me so giddy to eat it. It had cream as the base sauce which was then infused with truffle oil, topped with seafood (shrimps and squid), mushrooms and bacon bits. Gawd it was so good I needed to order another plate! The little girl liked it too, finishing almost half of our first order.
he hubby got the Irish Beef Stew. It was served steaming hot and appealed to my sense of smell too much! The beef chunks were so tender, the veggies were cooked just right with the carrots retaining some crunch. The sauce was rich in flavors I couldn't quite explain. At first, it didn't taste so good because of this bitter taste, coming from the beer that it was simmered with. But when you try it again, then you'll capture this caramel-y taste that blended so well with the spices used. The best beef stew for me.
also ordered for a Blueberry Smoothie. It was expensive for 205php and was a little lacking in blueberry flavor but had bits and pieces of blueberry.
I was meaning to try their Red Velvet cake slice but the little girl asked for ice cream. I wanted to go to Mad Mark's for that but she just can't wait! We tried the Vanilla Bean flavor. Their ice cream were made in small batches, ensuring quality and freshness. One tiny spoonful and I fell in love! That classic vanilla flavor, in a rich and creamy ice cream, was there - strong but not too much. There were also tiny black specs of vanilla beans. I wanted to try some other flavors but you know I can always come back.
Located just a few meters away from Charlie's, our original burger haunt, we wouldn't have even considered this resto if Mad Mark's hadn't run out of their half-baked ice cream. It was too fancy for us. You know, they serve wine hahaha. Kidding aside, it just didn't appeal to us. But then we tasted the gorgonzola & fig ice cream. I was sold!
Despite the classy upscale interior, the food was reasonably priced. Not too crazy about the thick cut bacon as I prefer my bacon thin, salty and crispy. But the callos, Irish stew and the sausages were pretty darn good. I'm convinced that the sausages are made fresh daily. I especially love the Nuernberger. I even bought a pack to cook at home.
Also try the Citrus Delight or the iced tea. I don't drink wine before 5pm so no wine for us that day as it was lunch when we went there.

I remember getting Salmon Pasta and Bolognese Pasta--which are really good by the way. I'd definitely come and eat there again and maybe try their pizzas and cakes.
I love their food, specifically the bacon slab. Albeit pricey, it is definitely a must try. One thing that I am not a fan of is their service - had to call the waiter many times to follow-up for our food/drinks. Also, we had to wait for more than 5 minutes before the menu was provided to us. Hope they address by adding more servers during peak hours.

One of my favorite restaurant in Kapitolyo!!! Poco Deli serves up the best pizzas and pastas in the area! A must try also is their thick cut bacon meal which is oh so satisfying! Another reason that one would visit Poco Deli aside from the food is their wide range of wines that they are offering! A great place as well for those looking for a date place in Kapitolyo.
ambiance is cool with small collections of scooters and mix and match of beer with bacon and sausages... Happy eating with xbox team mates as if eating in your own back ground

I was into tasting European cuisine and I checked what near our place and I found this one. Breakfast is always a never skip meal for me so i thought of checking a special place. Their bacon steak was yummy and I really liked the taste.
Good food with good friends to cap the work week off! First time at Poco Deli tonight and I must say that they have it all - delicious meals (big servings) plus great ambiance plus very friendly and accommodating staff - what more could you ask for?
Food was excellent. I can say that the price you will be paying for is super worth it! Ambiance is great too!
Must try dishes:
1. Bacon steak - 2 thick yummy bacon with 2 eggs for the win. 👍
2. Citrus Delight - one of the best and refreshing drinks i tasted so far. Must try!
3. Blackout Chocolate cake - one of the best chocolate cakes in town! Make sure to save room for dessert!

I think I love bacon because it has all the qualities of an astounding sensory experience. When we cook it, the searing sound is so enticing, the aroma appeases, the crunch of the texture is so satisfying and the taste delivers every time. Because of that, I still believe there is some good in this world, and it is worth getting chubby for.
A friend of mine is leaving for Australia so we had to meet up and catch up before he left. Poco Deli was his choice of dinner place.
The food:
He suggested trying their sandwiches but I was in the mood for pasta. So I ordered their pesto pasta while he ordered their Italian sausage pasta. The pasta is al dente, but the pesto is lacking in flavor. Just a bit though. Would I go back? Yes I would. I'm excited to try their sausages because the other diners seem to be enjoying them, and the sizes of the sausages are big. I will, of course, edit this review once I have had one of their bestsellers.
The place:
A bit small but the foot traffic is good on a Sunday night. I noticed diners don't stay longer after they are done eating so expect to be seated as soon as a table is finished.
I ordered red velvet and carrot cake this is so far the best cake ever you can't have this in your regular bake shop or pastry shop. I concentrate on this one since the rice meals , sandwich they offer I know will take some time. I was pleased that the 2 cakes I bought is the main topic in my workplace. Pure commendations .
One of their specialties is the Bacon Steak, so I ordered it. There were two slabs (yes, slabs) of 1/2 inch (or more) thick bacon, two eggs and rice. It was very good. Tasted more like ham. That's why I still preferred the classic thin and crispy bacon available in hotel buffets. That's the bacon I know.
Sausages were great, too. I am not an expert on this, but I enjoyed everything on the sausage platter we ordered, including the sauerkraut.
And the chocolate cake--hmmm... Very rich yet sweetness level was on point.
Prices may be high, though with the quality of food and service-- I'd say still just right.
I only go here for that Chocolate Cake with so many layers!
Best Chocolate Cake I've ever had! And it's not too sweet!
The other Cake with White frosting wasn't that great.
Poco Deli is one of my to-go restaurants when I'm in Kapitolyo. The only thing I don't like with their restaurant is the difficult time we had every time we look for parking.
Enough about parking and more about the food. The Bacon Slab is amazing! It's good for one person only but we always loved sharing this dish.

Poco Deli is another Kapitolyo landmark. Similar to other establishments in the area, parking could get problematic during lunch and dinner times. It's claim to fame is it's Bacon Steak: 2 humungous slabs of bacon with 2 sunny side up eggs and bacon rice. I split this order with a friend so hopefully, the calories were halved. I was also able to buy some sausages here for a New Year barbecue one time. Next mission here would be to sample the Truffle Pasta.

Famous for its bacon slab, artisanal ice cream and sausages, Poco Deli is one of the top local delicatessen destinations in Manila. Homey and classy, Poco Deli is the perfect place to chill and get intimate with your close circle, family, or significant other. They not only serve delectable European dishes, but also offer a superb roster of wine and beers. Plus, they serve comforting gourmet desserts that make a graceful closure to your meal.
Everything they serve is locally made, save for the drinks. They make their own sausages, bake their own pizza bread and even smoke their own bacon. Simply put, they DIY everything to deliver a unique kind of euphoria in your mouth. They also sell their custom-made meats in frozen form, even the bacon slabs!
Must Try:
Bacon slabs with eggs and bacon rice! (P280)
US sliced steak on New York bagel sandwich (P200)
Red velvet (P155)
Gorgonzola and fig (P170) ice cream
This is the haven for sausage lovers. But I keep coming back for the bacon steak.
Bring home a meatloaf too for a nice memory of this deli. :)
I found the dishes very oily but good. I should have eaten the sandwich. i ate the lamb sausage instead. everyone else was ordering sandwiches. the sandwiches looked great. this is what i get for ordering a non-sandwich meal in a deli.
Fell in love with their bacon steak. Best bacon meal I've tasted so far! Will try their sausage meals when I come back;)
Worth every penny! We love this resto!
It's literally a cholesterol meal. That's bacon slab, Poco Deli's signature and most popular dish. Two big slabs of grilled juicy, smokey, tender pork belly with two sunny-side-up eggs on top of a big serving of bacon fried rice. A small portion of garden salad is added on the side to lessen the guilt. And to further lessen the guilt, this restaurant also offers a wide selection of Twining's tea to somehow counteract the effects of ingesting too much fat. Sinful, indeed, but this is one sin that I'd love and be glad to commit again soon.
I dont want to biased but im really not a fan of sandwiches though when i like to be healthy and is trying to eat light i go to delis.. This time i ordered the chef's salad. I wish they have more in it aside from the olives and tomato and cucumber. They have decent enough of dressing and i like that. Then the prosciutto mozzarella is great! Big servings too. The ambiance is so cute that they have wines on the wall that serves as their decoration also easy to choose which one you like. The prices of their wines are not as expensive as the others so that is a plus for this deli. You can also do take outs of raw sausages, cakes and their own ice cream.
This has been my favorite place ever since I discovered it. Talking about good good and cozy place Poco Deli it is! They have a good and wide selection of wines with a reasonable price. I love their bacon and of course the sausage and cheese platter. I always look forward to being in Poco Deli...

For starters, we ordered the Quattro Formaggi Pizza (PhP 400). It is freshly made thin crust dough topped with four cheeses (mozzarella, pecorino, gorgonzola and grana padano). It was delicious in its simplicity.
We also tried Poco Deli’s pastas—Aglio Olio Pasta (olive oil and garlic) (PhP 270) and Pomodoro Pasta (rich, slow-cooked tomato sauce) (PhP 270). The spaghettini strands were cooked just right, the flavors not empowering.
Of course we wouldn’t leave Poco Deli without having their popular dish, the Bacon Steak (PhP 420). I was expecting the usual thin and crispy bacon but lo and behold, it was two thick chunks of bacon (hello cholesterol and calories!) that I cannot finish even if it was delectable. It comes with a sunny side up egg and steamed rice with bacon bits on top.
For dessert, we had the famous Blackout Chocolate Cake (PhP 220). It has caramel filling and topped with chocolate. It is moist and rich but not that sweet. The Red Velvet Cake (PhP 180) on the other hand was quite dry. Though Poco Deli's version is different because it is strawberry-flavored!
I also tried Poco Deli’s Blueberry Smoothie (PhP 205). I love blueberries and I’m so happy they have this!
Poco Deli’s prices are a tad expensive but in my opinion, worth it. Service is commendable too. I’d definitely go back to try their other dishes, especially Poco Deli’s artisanal sausages (hey, it’s okay to indulge once-in-a-while!).
This is a small resto that serves really good comfort food. Ive been going here when kapitolyo isn't considered as a foodie haven. I love how they maximized the narrow space into a place that is very chill and functional. Parking is hard when it's later in the afternoon as well as during lunch. If you love wine, cheese and sausages, like me, then this is a nice spot for you. 😊 This also serves as a deli, so you'll notice people having just the sausage take aways. I usually get a platter of sausages but I have to say, they'd be better without the saurkraut. Sorry but I really dont like its taste! Other than that, I love most things here. 👍
My family and i went to eat late dinner here. I ordered their famous Bacon steak! We also got the german sausage sampler which was awesome!! Their lengua is not that great tho, my mom was the one who ordered it. Then my sister got the spanish sardines pasta, which was also quite good. Thumbs up!
Small, cozy, and tasteful choice of wall decor. Parking can be a bit difficult and they don't have any valet services. Poor lighting for photos so I suggest you stop by at lunchtime or early in the afternoon if you want to get better shots of their food. I recommend that you try their best-selling staples there: Bacon Slab or they call it now the Bacon Steak, their Gourmet Tapa, and their artisan sausages. Large servings aptly priced.
Another Spanish and European food zone that wows your taste buds to the core! This quaint, rustic and exquisite place for dining is one of the frequent go-to's of many famous people, the President himself Noynoy Aquino was once spotted there with his security detail closing roads in Kapitolyo as he dined. Their wine collection is also pretty impressive along with their revenue of deserts. If you are a new comer here, it's good to take note of their unique pizza serving which is usually topped with one full topping like the shrimp pizza. Another interesting dish is their sausage platter which is actually my personal favorite there; variations of delicious molded meat suited for the hardcore carnivore!
Accomodating waiters. Too bad we didn't order the bacon slab dish, heard it's a must-try. I had the spanish sardines pasta which was okay. My friend ordered their lamb sausage. We also tried their quattro carne pizza, didn't like the crust but the sausages were delicious. Good thing i ordered the blackout chocolate cake because that was one sinful cake. Yum!
They have good sausages to go well with their beer, and they were really big authentic sausages. It's a nice place to chill at to have a quiet or intimate conversation.
The first restaurant we've ever been that made us realize how Kapitolyo is such a gem. I loved everything they have served us, the flavors are just perfect! I loved their sausages and pastas. Unfortunately their place is really small, it would be hard to come in groups. It is nice for dates though! Just not for talking about private matters since there is not much leg room :-D
Bacon Steak. Lamb Sausage. Blackout Chocolate Cake. 'Nuff said. 😋 pretty decent wine selection. Place is cozy and the staff are friendly. Great with getting together with a small group of friends.
This deli like resto is located along a main road, hard to be missed. The place is small but with comfy ambiance. The first that we tried was the sausage and cheese platter. The presentation was good and offered a variety of selections. The chicken sausage though was dry. The four cheese pizza as well as the shrimp and garlic pizza were satisfying. The crusts were thin, perfected with the combination of toppings. The meat loaf is a best seller, however it was salty for my taste buds. What I enjoyed the most is the big slice of chocolate cake. It was moist, decadent, and yet not too sweet. It's the kind of cake that you would want to eat over and over again. My friends also loved the pistachio and bourbon ice cream. What made my experience great was eating with my good friends. Will I go back for a second round? Definitely yes cuz I have yet to try the cheese platter with wine.
The place is small yet the ambience is nice. We ordered their Spanish Sardines Pasta and asked to use angel's hair, the taste was good, it has a kick on it because of the herbs and spices they used. Quattro Formagi Pizza was a thin crust and it was delish. It's authentic Italian food and if you want to chill and stay a lil bit, they have lots of wine to offer.
One of my favorites in the strip of restaurants in Kapitolyo. The place is small but has a chill atmosphere. The serving is generous and the food tastes really good. :)
We stopped here for breakfast early one Sunday morning. They had just opened so we were the first customers of the day! The guard at the door cheerily greeted us good morning and we were led inside.
The place had very cozy interiors with a whole wall display of wine for sale. I had their recommended bacon steak which was literally a huuge, glistening, juicy slab of bacon served with two eggs and their delicious garlic rice.
A great way to start your day!
One of my favorite places to go to sample European inspired dishes. I am always digging their Irish Beef Stew with Bacon Rice and their Sausage Platters.
Quaint space, great service and big, yummy servings!
Definitely a good restaurant to go to for a quiet date or a chill meal with friends. Don't know what to order? One thing: BACON SLAB. It's a heart attack on a plate but you'll be smiling all the way, trust me. It can also be shared with a friend since it's pretty big.
They also have artisanal beer, ice cream, cakes and pies for afterwards so really, it'll take a while for you to try everything in the menu. The staff was really patient and accommodating as we took a long (noisy) time figuring out what to get for dessert.
Definitely a go-to place if you're near the area!

Food ordered: Quattro Carne Pizza / Prosciutto with Mozzarella Gourmet Sandwich / Blueberry Cheesecake /
Poco Deli Iced Tea
HER FOOD BITES: The Quattro Carne Pizza's heaviness and the Prosciutto with Mozzarella Gourmet Sandwich's lightness complemented each other very well. I loved how the prosciutto was sandwiched with the tastiness of a bagel, compared to just having a normal bun. Finished off with the sweet blueberry cheesecake, the meal was PERFECT!
HIS FOOD BITES: Poco Deli's Quattro Carne Pizza was full of the meaty protein goodness that I craved before our visit. So much that I had meat sweats after the whole meal. Kudos to the chef! The prosciutto on a bagel was really interesting, to say the very least. It was the first time for me to have prosciutto and I could honestly say that I would be including it to my list of favorite meat cuts.
About the venue: The venue reminds you of a little cozy deli place, but this one serves wine as well. It can accommodate a maximum of around 30 people. There is no parking provided and you will have to make do with parking along the road.
Recommended for: Friends
Value: 300-500 per person
Finding a parking space can be really difficult in Kapitolyo area but Poco Deli is worth the Challenge! The serving of every food we ordered was generous, even good for sharing. I really appreciate the care and the attention to the hand ground sausage meat products & stews that this restaurant serves. Couple that with the laco-fermented sauerkraut and egg topping and you've got an amazing meal. Especially love their Bagel steak sandwich.
Great for Sunday Brunch!
FOOD
> Great taste: If you are into European food then you must try the sausages especially the Nuremberger
> Different (especially if its your first time) from the usual Filipino dishes. Although after a few visits it can get bland for the palatte. For today's visit: the food was way too oily (from the bacon slab to the tapa)
> Large serving (good enough to share)
> They serve great cakes as well. Goes great with the brewed coffee (after dinner)
> They serve wine too: great for after-office dinner or night caps
PLACE
> Ambience is great!
> Excellent if you want a small, quiet place to talk: friendly dates, catch-up with a small group of friends, family time :)
> Decor of European influence all over the place
SERVICE
> Usually prompt and attentive service
> Place is small enough that you wont get missed :)
Poco Deli wasn't our first choice, but we had nowhere to park except in front of the resto. (If you've gone food tripping in Kapitolyo, you'll know what I'm talking about!)
Since it was near closing time, we had the resto to ourselves. The servers were really attentive and pleasant. The place was very homey, with its dim lighting and vintage trinkets.
Walls were lined with choices of wine and beer, so if you wanna have wine with your food, just take your pick!
It was an overall pleasant experience.
I always have a hard time deciding what to order. You cant go wrong with either the callos, bacon, tapa, or truffle pasta with seafood. Hefty servings for one person. Try the citrus cooler too.
Been here a couple of times and have the tendency to over order because everything looks good. Good venue for a chill night out with girl friends or for a romantic date night. Highly recommend the bacon slab and truffle oil pasta. They have a good wine selection, too. Call in advance to reserve a table.
While me and my date is finding restaurant to try in Kapitolyo and saw this restaurant, we decided to try this. When I first entered Poco Deli, I saw that they make artisan sausages and that time I decided that I will try their sausages. I ordered the german sausage and cheese platter and damn, It was so good! The 3 variations od cheese was one of the best cheese experience I had! My date tried the Mom's Pot Roast and somehow it is not what we expected. It was not that seasoned so we asked for some salt. But I think the sausage will not fail all of you. The place was good and you will be tempted to have some wine because of their wine display :)
Needs delicious european sausage? Poco Deli is the best place to eat.
The platter of sausage, or combined with cheese can't disappoint us.
We can enjoy beer and wine. Whichever we are German or French, we can choose our favorite one from the unique line-up.
Price is affordable for this quality.
The eating place is a bit narrow but it is like the ambience of the street cafe or restaurant in Paris. If you feel it's too narrow, just buy what you want and enjoy it at home. You don't need expert chef to heat and cut sausages.

I love the Pesto and Spanish sardines pasta... A lil pricey for the serving but the taste really justifies the price... It's a good date night venue if you are looking for some cozy and private chat...
A nice way to break the fast on Easter Sunday! Indeed, food here is great. I wouldnt as far say authentic because ive never been to any European countries to know how authentic sausages taste (depending on the country) like. Anyway, their flavors are strong but not overwhelming, and who doesnt love bacon?! They're just one of the reasons ill be coming back here soon!
Giving this quaint little European resto located in Kapitolyo a 5. ?Wine, Cheese, Sausage, Bacon, Home made ice cream (where in Pasig will you find a Gorgonzola and Fig flavour?) Advising everyone to check availability of seats before going (there's only quite a number). Can't wait for another stop here.
Been here with my officemates and everything was so delicious and the place was cozy and cool with their displays and paintings aa well as the miniature scooter
This Little Germany Nook is underrated but it serves sumptuous sausages and innumerable cheeses. I love their Sausage Pizzas and their Sausages Picas! Their beer price is expensive though. But if you want a little bite of Germany with sausagefest and Chimay or other imported beers from Spain or Europe, this is the place for you!
Went here to try the famous chocolate cake named chocolare blackout. The price was a noticeable PHP220 but fear not, what it lacks in size it makes up for the intense, gooey, fudgy chocolate goodness. Ordered the cheesecake and it is not one to remember. Make sure to order their bestsellers as well such as the bacon slab and sausages. I like the choices of their wines = owners have good taste.
All in all, this small place is great for intimate dates and small group gatherings.
The first time I fell in love with bacon is when I tried their Bacon Slab and it was a taste of HEAVEN! Their sunny side-up eggs are also cooked with perfection. Not too dry, not too soft. (I wonder how they do it? Seriously?) Their mixed sausage also is soooo good also that I'd loose my mind whenever I just imagine it. Parking there is also difficult that merely seating inside their resto is a pleasure with their nice staff to serve you. You've got me there, 5 stars!
Anyway, no offense meant but I can't seem to imagine why someone would just say the it's not that impressive while equally praising a mediocre pasta from some other neighborhood restaurant. Like whaaat? I can tell that their recipe is with passion and creativity. Menu is good and I'll keep on visiting back. More bacon slab please! (And oh... that sunny side up too!) Ugh! #foodporn
