    The food was over all good. However they forgot to add the mash potatoe to our dinner. We did not realize it until we got home. We took our entree home.

    Service was impeccable. Food very good. The chicken siciliano was surprisingly salty, just as a warning, but everything else was fantastic. The bruschetta appetizer is delicious, and the bread and dipping oil is a treat. Every staff member we came in contact with was friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend Popi’s!

    There were a variety of appealing entres which made the final decision difficult. The presentation was excellent, the food was hot and delicious. The crab cake appetizer was a little disappointing, more filler than crab. But we still liked our dinner, our waitress and the room. We're coming back!

    Food very average. Linguine with seafood was sucky. Linguine was hard (not Al dente) like in a cold box for days. Muscles dry and chewy….and it was mostly muscles. Wife’s veal parmigiana very reminiscent of diner food. Overpriced everything and nothing worth it.

    Dinner was AMAZING. Will be back. The live music made it a little too noisy for my taste. The food and service surpasses that. Was able to have a wonderful dinner for a friend’s birthday.

    The only reason why I did not give a top rating this time was because I asked for my crab cakes well done and when the waitress served my meal she told me my crab cakes were well done and clearly they were not. She came back to the table 5 minutes later to ask me if I wanted to send my crab cakes back to have them cooked more I was half done my meal at that point

    Took 10 minutes to get salt and pepper by the time it arrived we ate our salads. Then coffee was Luke warm, no servers around to tell. At this point only two tables active in restaurant. Got the feeling they just wanted to go home. My bill was just under $500.00. Probably not going g back for a long time.

    This was my first time at Popi’s. The food was delicious! There was a crab cake special that was jam packed with crab meat. Our server was attentive without being annoying. It was a little noisy, so don’t go there for quiet conversations. I’ll be back!

    I love this restaurant! It's my go to for lunch. I live in Delaware County and I have to pass many restaurants to eat here, but Pop's never disappoints. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal. The service was great. Even the hostess was pleasant and greeted me with a smile. IF you are in the mood for Italian for either lunch or dinner, you can not go wrong with a reservation here.

    I hosted a business lunch for 4 at Popi's on a Thursday afternoon. The room was very loud. The food was great but the service was just okay. We had to ask the waiter for more water and iced tea more than once. The portions were plentiful and delicious.
