Profile

There's life after Mario Batali, the original chef-partner of this vest-pocket trattoria, where crowds still flock for affordable, enticing Italian fare. Chef Lee McGrath shares his predecessor's fetish for chili pepper, which punctuates everything from lemony anchovies over a bed of faro to a refreshing, Greek-like cucumber-and-olive salad under a blanket of shaved ricotta salata. Pastas are generous and satisfying; lamb tastes char-grilled. Try to score a window table—it always feels like the most romantic spot in town. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

One of the best neighborhood restaurants in the city

Po is one of my all time favorite restaurants in NYC. Great classic Italian food, great hospitality and lovely decor. I have been back many times over the years and it never disappoints. Po remains a "go to" place to take out of town guests when you want to guarantee to impress. The ingredients change seasonally, and some favorites include the papardelle with corn and chorizo and the spaghetti carbonara. A standout entree is the porcini crusted cod which is prepared beautifully- crispy top, soft and flaky inside. For dessert the affogato and the Po sundae (with mint gelato!) are always good standbyes. Service is impeccable- David, there on Sundays is exceptional.

Brooklyn Po as good as original

Po on Smith St in "BoCoCa" Brooklyn is excellent. Enticing menu, friendly, efficient service, and delicious food. The white bean bruschetta is sublime and the spaghetti carbonara a savory favorite.
