Poco Loco, known for serving affordable Italian food, has opened up a new outlet in snow city. In this new outlet, it has brewery as well. Located at the second storey of snow city, it can be a little ulu to find, but the affordable price makes it a popular spot for Italian food.

While Italian food is usually associated with a hefty price tag, Poco Loco brings Italian food to us at heartland price.

It does not have fanciful set up, just wooden tables and chairs. But we enjoy our time there as it was really quiet and conducive place for gathering and small talks among friends.

Granchio was basically crabmeat pasta in pink sauce. We were expecting pink pasta to be served but we were wrong. It was slightly orange. The pasta was chewy and creamy with generous serving of crabmeat. Creamy tomato based sauce was lip-smacking was pretty decent pasta for the price. However, it would be better to share it with others as the taste tends to be too rich for consumption of the whole dish by oneself.

Granchio ($12)

Manzo - pasta serve with beef in truffle sauce. We were disappointed with this dish as the truffle taste was really bland for our likely. But the chewiness of the pasta does add value to the dish.

Zafferano was something out of the ordinary for us. It was pasta with seafood in saffron sauce. The dish was pretty tasty and fragrant but the seafood was too little. So it serving was kind of disproportional.

Last of all, we have ordered beer to try. We surely can’t leave this place without trying. Each Pint was pretty cheap. $7 for each.

Verde is brewed using seaweed barley malt which Birra de Fermento is a light cloudy wheat beer. My friends prefer Birra de Fermento as it is very easy to drink. Verde tend to have a more exotic taste.
