A Hidden Gem in Rotorua Central.

Tucked away upstairs in Rotorua’s bustling central dining precinct, Poco Tapas & Wine is a hidden gem inspired by the tapas culture of Spain. The name “Poco” translates to “a little,” perfectly capturing the spirit of sharing small plates and enjoying great wine with friends. Recently refurbished, Poco has created a warm, inviting setting where food and design come together to celebrate convivial dining.

Spanish Inspiration with a Modern Kiwi Twist.

The interior reflects a sophisticated palette of whites paired with rich timbers and lush greenery, striking a balance between elegance and warmth. A crisp, white tiled bar anchors the space, while textured finishes and carefully considered lighting enhance the intimate atmosphere. The design is chic yet relaxed, inviting diners to linger over food and wine in comfort.

Restaurant Tables, Stools and Chairs with Style.

Cintesi was proud to supply the full range of furniture for this fitout, ensuring the design vision was carried through every detail. The dining area is furnished with Walter upholstered dining chairs in a tan finish, offering luxurious comfort and timeless style. These upholstered dining chairs are paired with solid oak table tops mounted on Konus black table bases, creating restaurant tables that are both durable and elegant.

For guests who prefer a more elevated experience, the Marko bar leaner with oak top and black steel legs lines the outer edge of the dining space, providing views over the lively precinct. These are paired with our Hans Wegner Replica Elbow bar stools — beautifully crafted timber stools with upholstered seats that echo the sophistication of the interior. Together, these restaurant tables and chairs, upholstered stools, and bar stools create a cohesive setting that enhances the Spanish-inspired dining experience.
