Immerse your senses in the culinary intricacies of Spanish cuisine at Poco, an East Village mainstay created by award-winning Chef Abe Lopez (winner of the Food Network's "Chopped") and praised by Refinery 29, Time Out, Zagat.
Grab your $39 pulse (an $81 value) for a Dinner for Two that includes 3 Plates of gorgeous epicurean achievements of the decadent menu, as well as a Bottle of Wine or a Pitcher of Sangria.
The menu represents the diverse nature of Spain, conjuring hints of inspiration from various Southern European countries, with the occasional influence of American classics sprinkled in - Truffle Mushroom Mac & Cheese, for example - to make a trip to Poco a global endeavor.
Grilled Hanger Steak reps a crumble of sharp bleu cheese & serrano pesto, while Pulpo a la Gallega - aka grilled octopus - lights up via chorizo, seared potatoes, and a garlic puree. Chef Lopez's Crispy Calamari is also a winner, boasting roasted poblano aioli and a spritz of lemon.
A welcoming façade draws guests in, where smooth, sultry music and a candle-lit lounge set an ideal mood to be transported to another world...
Founded by restaurateur Sara Grizzle (formerly of pulsd favorite Essex) and renowned Chef Abe Lopez in 2009, Poco is an imaginative nouveau Spanish-influenced restaurant with an enchanted grotto feel, illuminated by a procession of twinkling lights & an energetic buzz of vitality.
Poco was established for one purpose - to be a home away from home for New York City locals, offering one of the most unique, authentic neighborhood dining destinations that has subsequently been given a "highly recommend" shoutout from Time Out and dubbed an "East Village institution" by Refinery 29.
To Call Chef Abe Lopez's menu legendary is fitting, especially when you taste the Pork Belly leveled up by a parsnip puree, picked ramps, sherry reduction, cilantro, and serrano pesto; or try your hand at the Chicken Tostada and its layers of red cabbage slaw, cojita cheese, & creamy avocado.
Shrimp al Ajillo nods to coastal Spain à la dried chilis & garlic on toast points, as well as Shrimp & Leek Croquettes with a delicate saffron aioli, perfectly paired with red wine or sangria for an indulgent pairing.
Make dinner a delicious journey as you polish off your libations, and "olé" the night away in palatable delight...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.
