What People Are Saying About Po Brooklyn
The Editor

The Scene – Despite the departure of Mario Batali, the original West Village location of Po has been popular enough to prompt the opening of a second Smith Street branch. The classy, yet comfy, formula still works: Tablecloths are white, the wainscoting perfect, and waiters wear jeans and sneakers under their aprons, and treat everyone--hipsters in band tees and young wives in maternity dresses--with equal, abundant warmth. – – The Food – The rustic Italian menu makes the voyage to Brooklyn as well, resulting in stunning appetizers that have had years of perfecting.

Fine Experience
by TG Mann at Citysearch
Our party of four had several appetizers, all excellent and ample, and entrees including fish, veal, meatballs. Each was first rate in preparation and presentation, and delicious. Three shared desserts were exceptional. With two excellent bottles of wine we ran up our bill a bit, but we had so much fun it was worth it.

A Sure Thing
by ts123 at Citysearch
I have eaten here a few times and love the white bean bruschetta, the bartender was so nice he gave me a copy of the recipe b/c I was raving so much about it.
I have eaten many of their salads, always fresh and nice combinations of ingredients. I also have eaten different types of their ravioli which I love. The panna cotta dessert is hard to describe but soooooooo delicious ...if you have room. I love going here. I know that the meal will be good.
They also have a nice tasting menu but be hungry...
- Pros: food and service

Totally Overrated for the Money
by aldo2002 at Citysearch
Go to this place for a couple of glasses of wine and the $2 white bean bruchetta as a tapas sort of snack. the restaurant is expensive for the hood and the likes of Fragole on Court offers better food at a fraction of the price (vibe is probably nicer too). Every dish we've had has been overdone, HEAVY on the salt, meat dishes extreme in fat content - My wife had a bacon pasta that was barely edible - literally a salty boo-fest. Veggie option pretty bland (our friend who came is veggie). The bottle of prosecco we had was quite tasty but again, we paid a few bucks for it.
Anyway, if you grabbing a couple of glasses of wine and want a nibble I recommend, otherwise - steer clear.
