Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The newest entry in the record is dated Dec 13, 2024. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to one violation before.

The pattern that stands out is “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material”, which has been cited two times.

Poco's latest score of 61 falls below the Manhattan average of 77. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
