   Referred to this gem by locals. Loved everything about this place except the service felt both rushed and neglectful. All the locals sitting around us were treated differently; our server spent more time discussing the menu and making suggestions. All the tables received a bread basket, we had to ask for one. The food was exceptional and definitely hit the spot! I’ll be back!

   Attentive, thoughtful service and exceptional northern Italian food with the pastas made in house. Few restaurants in Marin make their pastas let along provide such excellent food and service on the scale that Poggio does! A local gem.

   Great antipasti but poor quality soups. The apparent vegetarian lentil soup has bacon in it - beware vegetarians. My partner didnt finish it. A rainy day but cold interior and chemical smelling window cleaning during the meal distracted from ambience.

   Excellent waiter. I have always had an excellent experience at Poggio. Carefully prepared dishes with thoughtful presentations. Pork chop was outstanding. Burrata was fresh. We love this place!

   We enjoyed celebrating our Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary at Poggio's - just the two of us - and found the food and service to be excellent! We chose 'moderate' for the noise level, but we could just as easily have chosen 'Quiet' - we found the music occasionally intrusive, that's all. We loved being greeted with 'Happy Anniversary' when we arrived, and also appreciated the darling flan with candle and blackberries brought to us by our charming waitperson, who was lovely to work with. Thank you for giving us a special moment for our 50th Wedding Anniversary! ~ K&G

   Two meals in a row we have had sub-par secondi (1 chicken, 1 ribeye). Out of 4 visits, we had great service twice, and terrible service twice. Several starters and wines by the glass have been great, but the minuses outweigh the pluses for us at this point.

    This is one of my long time favorites. I was reminded, however, that if you want to talk over dinner and have a quiet dining experience, don't come here on a Sat. night. The noise level was intense.

    Food was ok - felt like a pedestrian Italian restaurant for the most part except the pasta which you could tell was made fresh in house. Halibut was over cooked and served with mashed potatoes which were unimpressive and the sausage in the pasta seemed store bought. Overall - unimaginative food in a boring setting.

    Food was alright, the tagliatelle with shrimp was well seasoned but the sauce did not stick to the pasta at all and was a little watery. The ragu was somehow a much smaller portion than the tagliatelle but was tasty nonetheless. we were a bit disappointed with the burrata, it was less than half a ball of burrata for almost $20 and you could definitely get a better deal somewhere else. The ambiance was great, very intimate but it would have been complemented by better service. Server was short with us and not very attentive. Would come back but definitely to try other dishes and hopefully on a better day for them!

    I have been dining at Poggio for Years. It had been a few months, but I wanted to bring some good friends to a great meal. The thing about Poggio is that every aspect of their service and food is always consistent and improving instead of resting on its' "reputation" laurels. Every time I go I am pleasantly surprised, and so were my friends. From the hello to the goodbye. Thank you.

    The menu is fast, and always the dishes are perfectly prepared and flavorful. For such a beautiful restaurant, the prices are extremely reasonable both for food and for wine. Service is polite, but personable, and the overall experience is that of something special and to be cherished. Thank you for proving that quality and reasonable prices can coexist.

    Last Thanksgiving was our first time at Poggio. Though the place was understandably very busy, it was pleasantly under control. We had an EXCELLENT time. Everything about this place was exceptional from the staff, to the environment, to the food. As such, we planned on coming back regularly. I had made 6:00 dinner reservations for my birthday for my wife and I to which we attended last night. What a nightmare! As soon as we were seated, I left to wash my hands. As I walked away, I could hear my wife say, “We just sat down and I’ll wait until my Husband comes back”. I was gone no more than 4 minutes. In that time, the same waiter approached my wife several times if she wanted to order drinks. Each time, she replied “No” for the same reason. As soon as I got back to our table, my wife had to leave to wash her hands but told me what to order. As soon as she left, like a Vulture, he swooped down onto our table asking what we would like to drink. Everything happened so quickly, though I remembered our food orders, I couldn’t remember our drinks. I ordered the food and told the waiter to come back for the drink orders. Upon my wife’s return, again he jumped at our table asking what we would like. We ordered 2 Brandy Alexander’s. That’s when this experience went south and quickly. The Waiter became combative at this point with us, particularly with my wife over this order. This is a drink that she is fully aware of how to make. It was as if he was trying to talk her out of ordering it because it was “blended, not shaken by hand”. Both my wife and I were becoming confused over his intentions at this point. My wife told him “I don’t understand what the problem your explaining is”, to which he replied “You know what a blender is, don’t you”, while spinning his finger around in the air and making a propeller sound. My wife told him “Yes, I know what that is and I also know how to make it”. He responded “Look, I’m old school. I’m older than you”. It got worse after that!

    Poggio has been my favorite restaurant for many years. However, for the first time both my dining companion and myself felt the food was mediocre at this sitting. My friend had the paparadelle and I ordered the black cod. I can only hope that the next time we dine at Poggio that won’t be the case.

    One of my favorite places to go That’s why I chose it for Valentines Day ! Food and service was great even on a busy evening like Valentines Day. I was given a bottle of my favorite Port by my date and I mistakenly left it at my table. As I was not able to return that same evening so I called and Morgan located it , saved it for me and I was able to pick up that next day. Very nice for her to do that for me. We’ll definitely be back again !

    We generally avoid restauramts on Valentine's Day, but were pleased we made an exception this year. Poggio was prepared for the holiday crowd with plenty of staff members keeping things moving nicely. Our proscuitto appetizer was delicious. The flatbread had just enough crispy, flavorful bits. And our main courses were cooked perfectly. A special thanks to Amy for finding space for us inside when it was too blustery for outdoor dining.

    Our waiter was very nice and we never had to wait for service. We normally don't go out for lunch, but since we did, it was nice to have such an enjoyable experience. The food is amazing. There were 3 of us and all our meals were great. Their drinks from the bar was very good as well.
