We were visiting from out of town and were fortunate that a table for 8 was available on a busy Friday evening. Reservations was needed. From the time we sat down to the last morsel of delectable dessert, we were treated like royalty. The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious. I had artichoke appetizer and seafood linguini and we shared 5 desserts. The portions were generous. After the meal, the chef stopped by and had a nice chat with us. Everyone was warm, friendly and attentive. We will certainly be back the next time we're in town. I highly recommend this fine Italian restaurant.

This place is one of THE BEST Italian restaurants that I've been to. Trust me, I have been to many in NYC and NJ! And I will definitely come back again for special occassion with my family and friends. My husband tried this restaurant with his friends. And he was raving about it and asked me to make reservation to celebrate his birthday here. The restaurant was fully booked. I could tell that many of the customers were regulars. We ordered appetizers, (I personally didn't really care for the appetizer; soft shell crab was a bit too oily and salty for my preference. As well as Caesar Salad, was too much dressing. Calamari was average, Clam Casino was great). Lobster bisque was excellent. Then, came our entrees. They were to die for!! Chef Kiss! Each one them was perfect! I ordered rack of lamb that I was going to share with my mom, and they decided to split into two plates when they brought it out! That was so thoughtful of them. Rack of Lamb, Seafood linguine, Shrimp & Scallop pasta, Shrimp & Scallop pasta in vodka sauce, ALL OF THEM were perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and huge portion! See my pictures, the rack of lamb picture was only the half portion! We ended our dinner with tiramisu and lava cake with vanilla ice cream, they were scrumptious! Oh, and they were so nice that they gave us grilled tomato with vinaigrette and cranberry chocolate cookies on the house! And both of them were crazily good. Service was good, they are very attentive. My whole family loves this restaurant, and can't wait to go back again. Don't forget to make reservation far in advance as they are booked fast.

Truly delicious food! Our waitress could not have been nicer or more accommodating! The owner checked on us to assure our complete satisfaction! We just had terrific takeout meal: Grilled calamari, marinated artichokes, perfectly prepared Dover sole, and homemade rum raisin gelato. We were back to Po Le Cocina again tonight. Fantastic fresh oysters; tomato, pepper and mozzarella: and the best sea bass ever!! We went back last Sunday, when the menu is Vietnamese Pho or Italian pasta. I had a perfectly done shrimp roll, followed by amazing vegetarian pho. It was truly a taste of Vietnam! My wife had Pappardelle Duck Ragu which was also yummy! You should definitely check out the Sunday menu at Po Le Cucina!

3/31: I had a marvelous experience. Today I tried, I decided to order the Pappardelle Ragu, which featured duck and mushrooms. The sauce was a light creamy sauce with a very subtle note of tomato. To top off today's lunch - cranberry scones with elephant ear pastries (not pictured). ---- On sundays, they serve pho, and it's delicious. Gourmet food for a very reasonable price. The meatballs used in their pho stood out to me! We ordered spring rolls, and those were delicious as well.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Po Le Cucina, a charming restaurant in Lower Gwynedd, PA, that offers a unique BYOB experience. From start to finish, our evening was filled with delightful surprises. To kick things off, we savored the Figs wrapped in prosciutto, a fantastic specialty dish that set the tone perfectly. The raw oysters were accompanied by two distinct sauces - a tangy homemade cocktail sauce and a refreshing oil-vinegar-based sauce with shallots, adding a burst of flavor to our meal. The Calamari Special, featuring fiery sauteed calamari with generous jumbo lump crabmeat in a Fra Diavolo sauce, was a spicy delight, beautifully balanced by the abundance of crab. The Clams Casino, topped with chopped clams, onions, tomatoes, and bacon, was a standout dish, but the true star of the evening was the Softshell Crabs. Incredibly fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside, they left a lasting impression. I opted for the chef's signature dish, the Seafood Linguine, for the main course. It featured a medley of shrimp, calamari, clams, and scallops in a white wine sauce that was robust and infused with seafood stock, achieving culinary perfection. For dessert, we enjoyed cappuccinos accompanied by scrumptious cranberry biscotti, a heavenly creme brulee with its rich, creamy texture and satisfying crack of caramelized sugar, and a decadent chocolate mousse cake that satisfied our sweet tooth. The desserts truly showcased the chef's skill in creating confections that left us wanting more. Adding a personal touch to our experience, the chef, after whom the restaurant is named, came out to speak with our table. It highlighted the genuine passion and dedication behind the dishes we enjoyed. The restaurant's atmosphere was cozy and inviting, fostering friendly conversations among diners. The outside seating under a tent provided a comfortable and intimate dining setting. A standout aspect of our visit was the friendly and attentive restaurant staff, making it feel like a welcoming family-run establishment. Both the son and daughter actively contributed to our enjoyable evening, offering excellent recommendations throughout our meal. Overall, Po Le Cucina offers exceptional food and genuine hospitality, creating an unforgettable dining experience where great flavors meet warm, welcoming ambiance.

It was my friend’s birthday and we had such a wonderful meal. My friend ordered an appetizer and main course that was special of the day which she loved. I ordered the arugula salad and the seafood linguine in red sauce. The seafood was so fresh, it melted in my mouth. We were so full we had no room for dessert but since they knew it was my friend’s birthday they brought out a strawberry on a plate with a candle on it for her to blow. That was sweet. We love that this place is a BYO! Bring a bottle of your favorite wine
