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

Po was great, I was thrilled when i got a reservation for my desired time. We had to wait about 20 minutes at the bar but the bartender, who said he'd been there for 15 yrs, was so pleasant and gave us great recomendations. We had the portobello salad as a small starter for 3 of us and it was enough to keep us hungry. I got the cod, which was great, salty on the outside, flaky in the inside, but it was TOO small, I could have def had 2 portions and I'm a woman. My father had the tagliatelle with mussels whichw as awesome! had great spice and flavor and you could tell the freshness! my husband had the orrichiete which was good but not too innovative. overall a great experience and great price. a must try!

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.
