As soon as I walked in Gennaro hooked me up!!!I told him I was a vegetarian, and he specifically made Penne a Rustica for me with no meat and it was amazing. The penne was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was very rich and creamy. You can tell it was made with love. He also recommended a Mexican cola with my meal. The customer service is outstanding. The atmosphere in the dining room was priceless and felt like I was in a movie. You can tell he really enjoys his job as I seen him tend to other customers with such charisma. Y’all please try this place. Oh and Po Po Trattoria, please give Gennaro a raise!!!!!!!

We had a special family gathering at this restaurant, the owners went well far and beyond their duty to accommodate our big family after hours. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious! The cheesecake and the tiramisu are out of this world! :-)

We finally found the BEST neighborhood Italian spot and come by multiple times a month. We love the food and service we receive. We feel like family when we walk through the door and everything we’ve tried on the menu is on point. I brought my mom and she made the bold statement that this was “THE BEST PIZZA she’s ever eaten”. Come by and prove her wrong.

We’ve been to Popo’s on Huebner three times and the food, service and atmosphere have been consistently great. We love going to locally owned restaurants and Popo’s makes you feel at home while serving delicious food. We haven’t had the pasta dishes but the pizza is excellent…fresh ingredients, delicious crust and the pizza is made in a brick oven. Tonight we had the pleasure of trying their cannoli cake. So. Delicious. Popo’s has become one of our go-to restaurants and we look forward to our next visit!

The family and I love coming here! The amazing chef, Gennaro is INCREDIBLE. Every time, the food is divine. I love the seafood dish I get, and it is always LOADED with the most beautifully cooked seafood. My husband cleans his plate every time he gets the lasagna, getting as much sauce on the fresh bread as he can. My daughter LOVES the pizzas, they are always super cheesy! Akita was the most bubbly and friendly waitress! She made the whole experience an absolute delight! Always phenomenal service and wonderful service! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!*******************Who left a piece of Italy in the middle of San Antonio??I am AMAZED! They tried to say they were short waiters tonight, but with the hussle these people had, I did not notice! Checked on without feeling stalked, loved without being molested! The staff was friendly, fast, and super patient!Our food was GREAT! The portions were PERFECT! We started with cheesy garlic bread, and it was wonderful, with so much cheese I wondered if there was even bread under it, until I bit into it for delicious soft bread with a crisp edge...Divine...My husband ordered spaghetti with meatballs, and I had spaghetti with seafood (I could not pronounce it, much less spell it). Our lovely waitress was wonderful and pronounced the dish for me without making me feel like the monolingual fool that I am!The first sniff of this amazing dish flirted seductively with my nose. I pulled muscles and clams from their shells. Huge shrimp dominated my pasta, and fried tendrils of tender calamari patiently waited for attention.Delicious? Delectable? Words that can barely capture the sensual caresses to my tastebuds. My palate was in ecstacy over the delicate spice in the tomato sauce...pure bliss!Then, desert...oh, sweet blessings, the dessert! Generous portions of freshly made cheesecake and tiramisu. Like a voluptuous hug of satiny soft cream in my mouth.My husband, picky as a toddler about his food, actually enjoyed it so much, he complimented the staff. I was in shock, the man has to ADORE his meal to compliment. I should know, 12 years of marriage attests to this.In other words, if you even vaguely enjoy Italian food, YOU NEED TO EAT HERE!!!!
