Incredible getaway without leaving NYC! Once we entered (on a whim) Pop's Cocina & Bar, I felt like…read morewe were on vacation in a foreign country. The music and elegance of the atmosphere was rejuvenating and relaxing. I was so glad we walked into this beautiful hidden gem on Jamaica Avenue. I couldn't believe that such a place existed here. I felt like I walked into a restaurant in Manhattan. We started with drinks. Kids drinks came in plastic containers while adult drinks came in glass ones. We ordered Diet Coke, Sprite, Mango juice and Strawberry juice. The juices were thirst quenching and hydrating. We had steak and eggs for the 1st time and it was perfectly pink in the center with a crispy, juicy exterior. The potatoes were just right. The Eggs Benedict was just right with the yolk oozing out after you bite into it. The fettuccine Alfredo was sauced just right, not too much or too little. The California Omelette was delicious and done just right. The kids pancake was just the way our kids liked them, with sliced strawberries on top. The strawberries were so yummy, we ordered a side of them just for our kids to munch on. It was smart to give our kids crayons to draw on the paper tablecloth. It kept them busy and helped our family create a happy memory of tic-tac-toe between parents and kids. POP's Cocina & Bar definitely deserves my Yummylicious Stamp of Approval and two thumbs up! Thank you so much for an amazing foodie experience!

I ordered Chicharon de Pollo with rice and beans, a common, no nonsense dish. It was soon presented exquisitely with three dishes Manhattan style and nicely garnered. Sorry no picture as I soon asked for a regular plate to eat my food all together Dominican Style. Brick walls accented with floor to ceiling windows and nuvo chic music with a heavy downbeat competed for my attention. I honestly thought this was a typical diner. So the restaurant was a total surprise. The Chicharon just chicken breast, cut and fried. But it was acceptable. Ugh. 4% service charge. Not cool. I still tipped well but the meal was already over priced. I was willing to make an exception but I also had to wait at the bar for my final bill.

Ice cold served in a frosted glass. For starters, we shared the lobster croquets and the grilled octopus. You could taste the lobster in the croquets, and the grilled octopus was served with mango. Both were very good. For the mains, we had the chicken marsala and the chicken parmigiano. The marsala came with mashed potatoes and the parm with pasta. Both were good sized portions and tasty. My buddy actually couldn't finish his parm, so we boxed the leftovers and took it with us to the game. No room for dessert, besides we had a game to catch.

Following a family funeral service, we needed a…read morerestaurant near the cemetery that could graciously accommodate a group of 20 guests, and they did so with warmth, compassion, and impeccable hospitality. The food was truly outstanding--authentic Italian cuisine prepared with care and served in abundant portions. The meal began with a fresh, delicious salad and a wonderful hot antipasto, followed by a generous main course featuring excellent meats and perfectly prepared pasta. The grand finale was an absolutely fantastic tiramisu that everyone raved about. What impressed us most was the way the entire staff handled our gathering with such professionalism, grace, and attentiveness. They made a difficult day much easier by bringing family and friends together to share memories and enjoy a beautiful meal in a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. Rustico Taverna is exactly what a great neighborhood Italian restaurant should be: exceptional food, plentiful portions, warm hospitality, and attentive service. We give them our highest recommendation and look forward to returning under happier circumstances.

Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)
