We loved the experience we had at the restaurant! The waiter was friendly and the food was cooked perfectly! The chicken tip with the humous was very good, and strong in their lemon flavor. Also, the pita bread is nice, light and fluffy! Now, the cabbage rolls we weren't a huge fan of, but the Brussel sprouts and salad were good, depending on the person. (Some liked, some didn't) Overall it's a great way to try some new Mediterranean food, and a great place to get together with family/friends. read more

We came here for lunch. We each selected a pizza to fit our personal tastes. Two of us are gluten free and it is not easy to find a crust that "tastes good". Their gluten free crust far surprised any crust we've had!! read more

One of my favorite tapas/small plates places in Toledo! They offer Groupons deals quite frequently so keep an eye out. I've tried almost everything on the menu by coming with big groups - my favorite dishes here include: - Flaming cheese: one of their signature dishes - they bring out a hot plate of cheese and light it on fire dramatically in front of you, which is fun. Tastes amazing with their yummy pita bread. - Calamari: big pieces of calamari and not overly breaded, plus great marinara sauce - Beef tips: small pieces of marinated beef, plus it comes with hummus so you don't have to order an extra side of hummus! I like making little sandwiches with the pita bread - Lamb osso bucco - really great hearty entrée! Comes with rice and a huge shank of lamb, with the lamb just falling off the bone. Very comforting (kind of tastes like Mediterranean pot roast) - Paella - a bit expensive but good for sharing if you have a big group It can be a bit pricey but with a Groupon, it's much more affordable. Definitely fun to go with a big group of friends and try a bit of everything :) read more

The variety of dishes were plentiful and a lot of good selections to choose from. We loved the beet salad and plenty for 2 people to share. The lamb chops were delicious. We also had the crab cakes, chicken tips, and Saganaki. Everything was wonderful and service was great. Would highly recommend and return to try more. read more

We decided to go here after American a trip to Cincinnati. It was located and the plaza area and it took us a minute to find it. The handy visual map located in the area help us out. It is a nice little cozy spot in the Plaza on one of the side streets. Upon entering we were greeted quickly and asked if we wanted a table or booth. We chose a booth. His place is designated as a Mediterranean restaurant. However, there are plenty of various items on the menu. There are sandwiches, salads, fish and Chicken beast items. My friend got the parmesan-crusted chicken mini burgers. She loved them. I decided on the lamb mini burgers with a side salad and fries. I love lamb. However, I've decided to stick with the lamb chops. The mini burgers were good but they were more is chopped lamb version. If you liked chopped lamb this is a great burger. It is pretty filling. I ended up taking home two of the four burgers that they gave you. I also ordered a margarita and so did my friend. The drinks are rather expensive here. The margarita and a small glass was $14 a piece. That was pretty steep. It was almost half of what the bill was. They were not stingy on the liquor however I still feel the $14 per drink is kind of expensive. The waitress was nice and really attentive. Overall it was a good experience I would order something else off of the menu but I would leave the drinks out of it. Maybe a beer. read more

Wonderful staff and the food tasted straight out of as close to I know Mediterranean, the Greek food of the Danforth in Toronto. This was as good as any meal I've had there and that says a lot. Thanks for being here. read more

The food here is always good. I don't think I've ever gotten something that did not make me want more. The restaurant is always very clean and I like how they leave a pitcher of water at your table. Only reason I'm taking off a star is the staff. I feel like 75% of the time the staff is great and very attentive, but like tonight the waitress was okay at best. There was easily a 15 minute span she did not check on us and just slowed down after that. Overall a great place to eat. read more

This was my first time here around 6pm on a Sunday evening as I was in town for one night only on business. I love middle eastern/Mediterranean fare, and having that heritage, view myself as rather having an opinion that counts. As far the restaurant overall is concerned, it wasn't busy, service was great. Clean, airy, with prompt and courteous servers. I tried two dishes: the Ara-yes Halabi, and the Cabbage Rolls. These two $6 plates came with complimentary home made pita-ettes (pitas about the size of your palm) with garlic infused olive oil. The garlic olive oil was amazingly delicious. Great olive flavor, nicely balanced with the garlic infusion, and not too oily. I really could have drank that! The Ara-yes Halabi was divine - nicely seasoned and came with a delicious and creamy hummus. I really loved it. Although, six bucks for a dollop of hummus and four finger-sized meat filled pitas was not a great value. The cabbage rolls were a huge disappointment. My family makes these, and I've eaten them in many restaurants. They are kind of a staple in my household. The biggest gripe is that for six bucks, there was barely any meat in them. They were mostly rice filled. Usually, rice or some grain is added to the meat as an extender and to help bind the meat. In this case, it was mostly rice. As far as taste - it was well seasoned and tasty. The tomato sauce that they topped it with was way too sweet. I don't know what it is with restaurants adding sugar or using tomato sauce with sugar in it these days, but it really threw me off. That said, the cabbage itself still had some crunch, indicating that it was cooked perfectly. All in all, that and two beers, was about $27 including a 20% tip. I was well sated from an appetite perspective, so I can't complain that for what I paid, I went hungry. It just seemed very pricey for what you got. If I come here again, it will be to try their Kibbe Nayee - another traditional dish that I love. Other than that though, there's nothing here to attract me considering the prices for what you get. Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food is really inexpensive, well-seasoned food. Nothing here was "specialty" class commanding that kind of price. read more

I really like this place. Great choices. I've never been a lamb fan. But here it's great, lots of flavor. A glass of wine and small plates ! Very chic. My wife and I go here often. I'll be honest , I don't love everything on the menu, but I like most! Great wine list as well. My go to, read more

Poco Piatti - Baby Lamb chops - Tapas Bars Near Me - Perrysburg, Ohio

We stopped by Poco Piatti for after dinner drinks and desert. We sat at a small table in the bar area that had excellent ambience. I was able to have a few samples of what they had on draft before placing my order which was really appreciated. I ended up ordering a local beer and my wife had a juice cocktail. For our desert, we ordered the trio. It is expensive at $13, but it comes with two different crème brûlée dishes as well as a brownie. My wife really enjoyed the vanilla crème brûlée, eating the entire bowl. Meanwhile I really enjoy the brownie which had small pieces of peanut butter through out. It was perfectly cooked with a smooth moist inside and a crisp outside. Overall, my wife and I really enjoyed just sitting down, enjoying a few drinks and the atmosphere. read more

I've been here twice, and both times I've eaten the lamb chops. I think they're delicious! Poco's is very noisy though, like all of the restaurants at Levis. It's very hard to find intimate, quiet dining at the Commons. The food at Poco's is good though, from what I've experienced, and the small dishes allow you to try different menu items without breaking your budget. They have a great wine list and the markup on the bottles is reasonable. I would recommend this place for a very casual dining experience in a fun atmosphere. read more

A really great mix of Arabic food and American food. We love the atmosphere and environment of the restaurant however sometimes the wait can be very long if you are going on a Friday or Saturday night. Also sometimes On busy nights you will not see much of your server. One of our favorite items are the lamb sliders. They are juicy and tender and have a great mix between Arabic and American burger tasting. The Fattoush salad is amazing. The pizzas are also delicious and fresh from the brick oven. My absolute favorite is the roasted cauliflower with tahini sauce. It is a little pricey for the serving size that you are getting and several plates can add up pretty quickly. Overall a great place for date night or to get together with friends. read more

Everything was excellent except for the noisy atmosphere. The acoustics are so loud its better for a boozy brunch crowd than intimate dinners. read more

We love this place! It's perfect for going with a few friends or family because everyone can order a small plate then pass it around the table for all to sample. Their pita comes puffed up hot out of the oven and is soooo good! Everything we've had here over the years has been fantastic. read more

Horrible!!! It used to be my favorite place in Toledo. We ordered to go kibbee , tabouli and hummus.. All the dishes tasted old and no flavor . Kibbee seemed to be made with old beef and went straight into trash. Tabouli was watery and hummus was dry. I would never go to this restaurant. Very disappointed experience !!! read more

We frequent poco more than once. Lately we have been going to the Central ave restaurant. We decided to go to the Pburg store today. I was disappointed to be positive about it. We sat at the bar and the waitress did her best; that I cannot dispute. Where i have a problem is the quality of the food at this location. The bread was hard as our waitress mentioned it was made the evening before and reheated. The crab cakes we ordered were slightly overcooked with very little creme sauce. Additionally, the fatoush we order, as you can see in the photo from left overs, contained zero pita chips. I do not believe I won't go to this site again. read more

I took my family from new york here and we had a really great time. Atmosphere was great but the service was a little slow. Food was above average-decent. But the wine selection is to die for! I ordered the sirloin and it was a little too fatty but the french fries and tapas were pretty awesome. Lamb shank was good as well! 3star rating is based on poor service read more

MORE MONEY THAN SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place is designed for people who never understood the value of a dollar. The concept to infuse these different varieties of cuisine is an excellent idea-on the surface. The reality is the food is a half assed attempt at true authenticity, as I am sure he doesn't have a chef from each region of cuisine he serves, at a ridiculous price and even more ridiculous portion sizes. This place survives because most people in the area have never traveled to Italy, Greece, Spain, or the Middle East even once and have no clue what and how these dishes are supposed to taste. It amazes me that this place has actually survived this long as its nothing more than smoking mirrors frequented by the "in" or people who want to be the "in" crowd. When a friend and I went there we had about 10 different little plates of all varieties, of which 2 were so so at best, got a bill of over $50 and walked out hungry. If this is what you call a good experience-enjoy. Then again some people have more $ than sense. read more

We held our daughter's bridal shower in the private room at the Perrysburg location this past Saturday.

We had been meaning to try Poco Piati for years - dating back to when they were on Monroe St. in Toledo but the place was always packed and we chose not to wait. After attending this year's Levis Commons Fine Arts Fair (a quality event that I highly recommend you not miss!), we decided to give the "new" Poco Piati a try. The negative reviews in the two different listings here on Yelp pretty much express my opinions. First impression began with a dirty restroom - one with walls that obviously had not been washed down since the place opened a few years ago. At the table, small plates that were stacked with our silverware were wet and dirty. The dry plates had dishwasher detergent residue on them. We ordered: Thai Shrimp Lasagna - tasty but nothing special and, at $6, three small shrimp is a bit skimpy. Stuffed mushrooms - tasteless, the shrooms gave up all of their moisture in the bottom of the dish making them soggy to boot and they were drowning in molten mozzarella cheese. A light dusting of a grated hard cheese instead of burying them in a semi hardened cheese tomb would have been preferable. Saganaki - it was "ok" but I've had MUCH better. Pretty skimpy portion as well. Hummus and freshly-baked-when-ordered Pita bread - delicioius - every bit as good as I make at home. Fresh Mozarella, Tomato and Basil (Margherita) Pizza - the biggest disappointment of all. Absolutely zero flavor, very small portion for $11, crust was 3/4 of an inch thick - a nice, crispy, thin crust would have helped - and the tomato used - an anemic, half ripe tomato - the kind we used to get during the winter in this part of the country. It's the third week of August folks, could you have not found a higher quality, better tasting tomato to use? A bottle of Olive Oil at the table would also have been a welcome touch. The Sangria wasn't bad but I've had much better and at $5.95 a glass, you may as well have some ice tea instead. This place fancies itself as a Tapas Bar - sorry Poco, not even close. For an establishment owned by the same folks who own Byblos, it is a tremendous disappointment. It isn't that this place is new - the original was on Monroe St. for a number of years. They've had time to work out the kinks. I chalk it up to just another ho-hum, also ran restaurant - the kind that seems to thrive in Toledo - which says more about Toledo than the crappy restaurants that seem to do so well here. In summation, save your $$ for a better restaurant. Biaggi's Italian Ristorante which is also in Levis Commons would have been a much better choice. read more

Can't decide between Greek, Spanish, Italian or Middle Eastern food for dinner? Go to Poco Piatti! The name Poco Piatti means "little plates" and, fittingly, every dish here is appetizer-sized and meant to be shared. It's a perfect setup for feeding your amore on an intimate date or sharing favorites among a group of friends. When you go to Poco Piatti, you MUST order the Saganaki Kasseri. It's a Greek cheese that is sauteed and flamed with Ouzo and Brandy at your table (mind your hair) and it sings with flavor and yumminess. Other favorites are the Shrimp Saganaki, the Gambas Al Ajillo, and the Stuffed Mushrooms. The only thing I've ever had here that I wasn't crazy about was the frog legs. Really, are you surprised? Ew. There is an amazingly convivial feel to the restaurant, which likely stems from the setup of sharing food, and gossip, in such a lovely atmosphere. Plus, it's so much fun to order course after course after course after course and experience something new and unique in each one. read more

I went here because I had bought a groupon. I am sure happy I had it! Poco Piatti serves Mediterranean food and pizza, which I guess is Mediterranean? Kind of? Ok, so it's Italian. I was just thankful for the pizza because it gave my 2 year old an option, although it was $9. I was disappointed they really didn't have anything for children, and the restaurant had at least 4 tables that had children at them. The food was pretty good, but I thought it was quite overpriced compared to its competition. My husband and I both had 2 shush tawook that only had 3 pieces of meat on each and the dinners were $15. Why? I realize I sound like a complete cheapo in this review, but for $60(without tip or groupon discount) seemed quite steep. I can get a much nicer meal for the price elsewhere. I won't come here again unless I have a groupon. I will be at Byblos when I have a hankering for Mediterranean. read more

First, remember this place is on a side road in a mall... and that is about the level of the food and service you get here. I have eaten here twice and try to keep the location in perspective, but this place is nothing very impressive. If you are in the area and you want to grab a meal - fine. But I can not recommend you make a trip out of your way to eat here. The service is average for an establishment of this type. The bartenders are erratic in their pours and mixes - nothing special here. The wait staff is diligent but not professional. You might get prompt service - you might not. They might know how to pronounce the Mediterranean dishes - they might not. If you need them to explain the dishes - well, good luck. As for the dishes themselves, I am sure the kitchen staff has ever been to the Med, and I am not sure they have ever eaten in an authentic Mediterranean restaurant. (Which is odd, because there are good restaurants of this type in Toledo.) I also found the pricing of the dishes to be odd... a plate of green beans is $6, but a giant plate of the calamari is $9. But really - don't bother. The calamari is the same over-breaded, previously frozen stuff you get at every chain restaurant. And if you are going to be a "Mediterranean" restaurant - can you please make your own marinara sauce? I won't go on with the negatives. The place is clean, prompt and not unreasonable in price. If you go here because it is handy you will have a meal that is different than most of the other format places out there. But don't expect anything special, and don't judge Mediterranean food by what is served here. read more

I went here with my girlfriend and we loved the food and atmosphere. I like tapas because it allows you to try a little of everything without paying a fortune. So we ordered a bunch of things but my favorite were the flaming cheese and lamb chops. The service was awesome and friendly and I would definitely recommend and come here again read more

We have been going to this restaurant for years, however with the recent menu change, I would now say it has reached 5 stars. Food is simply fabulous. A few of my favorites are the shrimp lasagna - sauce is to die for, and the seared scallops. Everything on the menu that we sampled, which was about 8 dishes, we loved. The sangria is also some of the best I have ever had. They keep the red and white both on tap, as they have such a great demand. Considering the quality of the food, the price was very reasonable. After multiple cocktails, and plenty to eat, bill was about $35 per person. Really looking forward to going back. Please note the service was very good, and the ambiance, while very nice, is nothing outstanding. The food is what makes it so special. read more

Pluses: 1) Good food, I love the lamb shank and the kebabs 2) Decent pricing for liquor (house wines) Negatives: 1) Unnecessarily pricey for the food 2) Lousy service (one waitress for almost all tables, and generally very inexperienced staff). read more

One of the best meals I've had in awhile. I'm a huge fan of tapas, and trying Mediterranean style tapas was a first for me. Our server was happy to explain and make recommendations, and we had 4 dishes between two people and were very satisfied. Everything we had was fresh and came out quick, from the artichoke salad, meat grape leaves, garlic feta dip, to the lamb sliders. The wine was great, prices were good, and I will be making it a point to get back here in the near future to have a couple of my favorites and try new items. read more

Great food and service, the waitress Courtney was awesome! The kabobs are really good and the hummus with the house breads so good

Visiting family from out of state and second time eating here. We had 7 in our group and ordered a lot of food. First visit in August and the food and service was great. Second visit last week and the food was terrible. The server was very apologetic saying the oven was not working properly. Food was either room temp or burnt. Spent over $200 for the table and it was nasty. Don't know if I'll give it a third try at this point. Extremely disappointing. read more

Chicken bites and hummus is great and the warm feta dip is to die worthy. read more

My girlfriend and I stop by Poco Piatti on occasion when we find ourselves at Levis Commons. The tapas menu is nice when we want some variety in our meal, and overall the food is quite good, even if there are a few misses here and there. Some of our favorites include the lamb sliders, which are nicely seasoned and topped with a cream cheese spread, and the saganaki kasseri, which is flamed tableside and always a sight to behold. We also enjoy the lamb osso bucco, kebabs, and beef marsala. Accompanying these plates is pita bread baked on site in a classic oven. The bread is warm and fresh and an excellent addition either with butter or for dipping. Poco Piatti also generally has a few weekly specials, and when we have ordered them they have been quite good, as well as a nice complement to the regular menu. On the other hand, a few of the other dishes are less impressive. The kafta is too salty and dry, the ari-yes halabi a bit bland, and the steak tacos tough and oversauced. However, most of the menu is tasty, and the small plates mean one subpar dish is unlikely to ruin a meal. Although we are not big drinkers when we go out to eat, we have occasionally partaken here, and Poco Piatti has a solid beer, wine, and cocktail menu with enough variety and seasonal offerings to keep things interesting. While we haven't had any issues with the service, Poco PIatti has a lot of exposed stone and brick and can get quite loud when crowded. The tables are also close together and you can sometimes feel a bit cramped when the person behind you pulls their chair out. We personally enjoy going during off hours so that we can avoid the clutter, order a bit at a time, and enjoy the food in a leisurely manner. Overall though, Poco Piatti is a fun restaurant and one we plan to keep in our regular rotation. read more

The reason I love the Yelp APP! For the most part people truly to try and give honest reviews, thank-you! Found this little place near our hotel while traveling for sports. There was a 15 to 20 minute wait. We sat down and the waitress who was working real hard stopped provided us with some ice cold waters. We started with the Katoosh(sp) salad , which was awesome. Nice dressing with lots of tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. If only two people get the small portion. We order the trio ahi tuna special with crab cake and shrimp. The second order was small chicken wraps and Greek potatoes. The Greek potatoes are very good! All the service was great and are meal was great. read more

This restuarant functions predominately as a Tapas bar serving many spanish classics, however, judging by the decor and other menu items this restaurant also has a heavy Greek and Arab influence as well. Every dish comes in Tapas style meant to be shared. Can honestly say I have never had anything bad there. The have a full bar and make pretty good sangriea. The atmosphere is nice and the service was decent. read more

Thank goodness I wasn't paying for this meal, or I would have been downright upset. Since it was on the company tab, I was just disappointed. I'd been looking at all sorts of menus online, trying to find a place near the hotel that was something different and warm, and stumbled across this - no menu, but a flyer saying that the people who own Byblos own this place. Seemed like a good choice since I'd read some good reviews of Byblos but didn't want to venture that far. I should have known by the somewhat limited menu to just get up and go across the street, but I stuck it out, intrigued by the description of the Thai "lasagna." I should have known to run when there were only 3 wines to choose from. But it was raining, and I was there, so I stuck with it. I ordered the Greek Salad, the Thai "lasagna", and the sautéed green beans (some Middle Eastern name that I can't remember). The Greek salad was a lot of ice berg lettuce with the feta and dressing coating every piece making it hard to distinguish whether the lettuce was brown or just the dressing made it seem that way in the low light. There were a few peeled cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, and pitted olives. I was hoping that the other dishes would be better. The Thai "lasagna" was better, but still not what I expected from the description. It was a grilled shrimp with sweet/spicy chili sauce on top of a crispy wonton. Actually it was three of those (not sure where the "lasagna" came in, since it was not stacked) swimming in a plate of sweet chili sauce and coconut milk with basil. The coconut milk tasted like milk with coconut flavoring... The green beans were limply lying in a tomato broth with onions and parsley. Sadly, I think this was the best dish I ate. I couldn't bring myself to tell the waitress when she asked, since she was clearly young and naïve, and I didn't have much confidence that any resolution of the situation would have been satisfactory. I admit that this situation as partly my fault, as a small plates restaurant is best enjoyed with friends so that you can split the cost of many dishes and force the ones that you don't like on the others at your table. The glass of the Rosenblum syrah was the highlight of the evening. That and the chocolate chip cookie back at the hotel that got this experience out of my mouth. read more

The prior reviews bear (almost) no resemblance to the Poco Piatti at which I've eaten a number of times in the past four months (disclaimer: wrote this in 2009, but just posted it now - don't know why I waited so long). The decor is very trendy/cute (with a huge hearth at which they bake their fantastic bread), and they have their own wine shop attached (but don't be fooled, you still have to pay a corking fee if you buy a bottle there and want to drink it with dinner, though it's not that bad: $20 i think). So the biggest complaint first: As the last reviewer noted, the service here is (often) a disaster. I've waited to be seated for almost twenty minutes without seeing a host, or being ignored by one if he/she was anywhere nearby. Similarly, getting a hold of your server can be extremely difficult--it's like they hide when they know you're nearby. That said, the last time I came here (lunch), our waitress was phenomenal (clearly, she hadn't absorbed the restaurant culture, thank God). She kept our waters and sodas full no matter how quickly we drank them, responded promptly to our inquiries, and was almost always accessible. So there's at least some hope! As for the food, this restaurant has a bit of an identity crisis. Although the base seems to be Mediterranean (the owners also own and run Byblos and Beirut, so Lebanese is pretty prevalent), it's a fusion restaurant, so you see random other elements (Asian, South American). Even though they have entrees (back of the menu), this place is focused on small plates that are meant to be shared. In particular, I recommend: Saganaki Kasseri, Thai Shrimp "Lasagna," Markouk Chicken Wraps, Chicken Shish Kabob, and the Shish Kofta (though the Shish Kofta is not nearly as amazing as at Byblos). The flavor in all of those dishes were excellent and worth ordering. read more
