Creative Italian-Southern mashup with excellent wines and a charming garden; standout pastas and hot chicken milanese shine, but portion size and service consistency can vary.
Popina delivers solid neighborhood dining with excellent handmade pastas and hot chicken milanese anchoring an Italian-Southern menu, supported by knowledgeable wine service and a charming backyard garden that elevates the experience. However, inconsistent pasta execution and occasional service pacing issues during busy periods prevent grade A territory, keeping this a reliable local favorite rather than a destination standout.
One caveat: Portions on some pastas feel light for the price according to several guests
