A Poco Deli Update!

As promised, I made a trip back to Poco deli and got busy eating. They have their Christmas specials now:
Dennis ordered the Pot Roast which was really good and tender. The gravy had a hint of red wine in it and the pork seems to have been marinated in a lot of thyme or caraway seeds. Very flavorful and the serving was quite generous.

Pot Roast w Bacon Rice - P280

The bacon rice was a big disappointment to me. I expected a lot more from it, not just bacon bits sprinkled on top of a cup of rice. the bits weren't even crunchy. In my opinion, the bacon rice sounds a lot better than it tastes. After the robust flavors of the pot roast, you don't even really notice the bacon.
I ordered the Aglio Oglio with angel hair pasta. Really good! make sure you ask for some chili flakes, chili oil and extra parmesan. Serving is quite big. If you're not a big eater, you can probably split it and get a bowl of soup.

The bread that comes with the pasta is also very good. Soft, and I think it's made of either rye or whole wheat bread.

Poco deli is a nice, quiet and quaint place for an intimate gathering with friends over wine or a romantic but casual date.
