One of the best dinners I've had in Burlington, all the dishes had balanced flavors and good sauces. The cinnamon girl mocktail was great if you love sour things which we did. 50$ a person and we each Got a drink. 4 plates was enough for us but 5 for hungrier people.

What a wonderful gem! They don’t take reservations but we got there 10 min before they opened on a Tuesday and there were just a few in line ahead of us. Food was incredible! Tried their carpiaccio special, burger, mussels, and Cesar salad. Fun cocktails and great wine. Super cozy and welcoming.

After long traveling hours to Burlington on a very cold snowy day, I found this small and cozy restaurant. It wowed me.The dishes are definitely Asian but I wonder if it’s Chinese, Vietnamese, … or Indian? Two of us had Pork Belly, Linguine with Scallops, Curry Naan, Kungpo Brussel Sprouts. All taste fantastic and was more than enough for us.This is a family owned business and dishes are created by the chef from an Italian family. I really had a great dining experience there.They have lots of wine, beers and cocktails to offer. Dishes are best for sharing with 2-3 people. The service is humble and kind.

The menu changes often but if you can the pork belly is amazing with the roast carrots.

Has potential for five stars but they need to address service. Pricing is also a bit high for some of the dishes.

First time here. Was highly recommended as one of the top 3 in Burlington and didn't disappoint. Ordered the pork belly, roasted carrots and ribeye. So delicious!

Four of us dined at Poco on a weekend night. We knew it would be busy so we put in our name right after they opened. They told us our table would be ready at 7:15pm. Perfect! We returned promptly at 7:15pm and were sat immediately at 6 top table. I was happy until they sat another couple right at our table. We were literally banging into this other couple and mixing up our water glasses the entire meal. It wasn't a huge deal so I decided to look past it. The MAJOR issue occurred after we paid our check. The bill was about $300 including tip for 4 of us. We happily tipped 20% despite below average service. As our server was picking up the signed credit card slip, he looked at us and said 'don't mean to be rude but we need the table'. I was dumbfounded. We only were at the table for an hour. I was expecting a 'have a great night', 'thank you for coming in', 'get home safe'. Not the case. There are plenty of good restaurants in Burlington that are struggling right now. So many other servers and restaurant owners would have appreciated our business. I'm discouraged and angry and hope this review will help future customers weighing their downtown options.
This restaurant doesn’t take reservations. To get a table, stand outside 15 minutes before they open. There is usually a line or go later like 7:00 pm.The restaurant is small and cozy. The service is great and food is delicious. Everything is a shared or small plates. Two people with one drink each and three shared plates, plan on spending $100.We had a poco burger, brussel sprouts and shrimp. They have an interesting cocktail list.Locals know the staff here a serious bunch. It’s kind of their trademark.This is not a kid friendly restaurant. It’s a good date or friends out location and only a few blocks from the Flynn Theater, Vermont Comedy Club and Church Street.

Each dish was delicious! The service was top notch. Even one guy signed thank you to me! The ambiance was somewhat romantic for our date. Thank you for a lovely time! I only have one suggestion - use something like open table, so we don't have to wait for a long time after arrival. There's hardly any space for a waiting area.

What an awesome and cozy spot. Was up in Burlington for work and stopped in here on a friend's recommendation. Definitely get there when they open at 5:15/5:30 because I'm told it gets packed. As for the food and drinks, everything we had was excellent. I had an old fashioned which was perfect. We couldn't decide on food because everything looked awesome, so we ordered scallops, ribeye, and the burger. Also ordered grilled broccoli and carrots (carrots? yes correct). Both vegetables were prepared with a myriad of ingredients making them absolutely delicious. The winner was the burger, it's a sous vide burger and is an absolute show stopper. Stop by here and you won't be disappointed.

reccomended this place by our bartender at hotel vermont and what a gem! everything from the service to the food was top notch! limited seating but its worth getting there early to make sure you get a table! we went with the dan dan noodles, gnocchi, green beans and pork belly and everything was amazing! possibly best gnocchi that i have ever head, green beans sauce was out of this world, a taste that i will be forever craving until i go back. This place takes pride in all flavors and it shows, possibly my new favorite spot in burlington!
