Poco Tapas & Wine is a tapas and wine bar at 1183 Arawa Street, Rotorua, described on its website as stylish and intimate and located upstairs in the city's central dining precinct. The concept draws on Spanish tapas culture; "poco" means "a little".
The menu offers contemporary tapas and larger plates to share, with Mediterranean-inspired dishes made from locally sourced ingredients and changing with seasonal produce. Drinks include a hand-picked wine list, New Zealand craft beers and signature cocktails. The website lists a Cuisine Good Food Guide 2025 listing and a TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice award.
Published hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 4 pm until late. Bookings are taken through the website (booking@poco.nz, 07 262 6119). A Private Functions page exists, but seating capacity and group sizes are not stated in the content reviewed.
Suitability: a menu built around sharing makes it well suited to small-to-medium group dining and team dinners in Rotorua. Private function availability and numbers should be confirmed with the venue.
