Order the bacon wrapped dates as they are fantastic! For those who have not had before, the sweetness of the date augments the smoky-salty bacon. Then to top it, they drizzle balsamic vinegar on top. So yummy.

My wife and I recently revisited Popoli's which is in a beautifully restored former bank building designed by Louis Sullivan. We ordered a delightful New Zealand sauvignon blanc with a bruschetta appetizer. My wife had a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing on the side, and I had the restaurant's signature shaved brussel sprouts with golden raisins. Delicious! I ordered a citrus glazed salmon with the best cooked asparagus I have ever had, and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her young lamb chops. She and I really loved the quality of the food and the ambiance. The service was a little slow, but we weren't in any hurry, spending a little less than two hours there.I believe that Popoli's is one of the top three restaurants in Cedar Rapids. Try it out!

Atmosphere is nice, appetizers and salads were good and then I ordered the Chicken Marsala and it was awful. I don't think there is any Marsala in the recipe and it was two pieces of chicken drenched in about a 1/2 cu of pure demi glas. I don't think I can ever eat demi glas again and it was extremely overpowering . They should try to get a recipe on line, try Food Network or Food and Wine....geez.I also had an after dinner drink, to cut thru the bad taste in my mouth from the entree, so I order a Manhattan with Woodfords Reserve. It was the worst Manhattan I have ever tasted and they must brew their own Vermouth in the bottom of a old rubber boot. Maybe they accidentally gave me a "Chernobyl" instead of a "Manhattan". Get some decent spirits (and wine) that aren't bottom shelf swill.I really hope the owners will hire a decent chef and fix this place because it used to be and still could be very nice.

Visited on Thursday evening, service was good, they got busy shortly after arriving. We had the soup salad and breadsticks and eggplant Parmesan. Everything was very good except maybe the salad was a little mushy. I think it was prepared earlier and the tomato and onions were a little soggy. But overall everything else was good!
