Po is a charming Italian restaurant in the West Village. The restaurant's six-course tasting menu priced at $45 has got to be one of the best deals in town. Food was just perfect when I visited and service was definitely above par. I wish they would expand so there would be more seating and more room for everyone! This is a must-try if you haven't been yet.

This restaurant excels in presenting northern Italian and Mediterranean fare and is known for its creative use of chili pepper, which punctuates everything from lemony anchovies over a bed of faro to a refreshing, Greek-like cucumber-and-olive salad under a blanket of shaved ricotta salata. Try the goat cheese truffle with roasted peppers and tapenade; marinated quail with plums, frisTe, and pomegranate molasses; or roasted monkfish with porcini, Chianti, and sage. Chef Mario Batali prepares six-course tasting menus for $42, which maybe the best bang for buck in NY’s fine dining. Reservation is hard to get in this tiny place so call ahead of time.
