About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Poggio is a classic Italian trattoria with comfortable neighborhood charm and destination-caliber cuisine. Created by Larry Mindel, who also founded numerous other restaurants in the Bay Area and beyond, Poggio has been ranked among the very best Italian restaurants since it opened. Led by Executive Chef and Partner Ben Balesteri, Poggio’s daily changing menus use the best available local ingredients including dishes inspired by the seasonal bounty of our local farmers, ranchers and fishermen and the traditional methods of Italy, including wood-fired ovens, house made pastas from scratch and a wide variety of dishes serving guests breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We’re honored to have been awarded a Bib Gourmand distinction by the Michelin guide in 2017, 2018, and along with being named Best Italian restaurant in Marin County by Marin Magazine in 2021.

    We have been to Poggio many times and the experience and food has always been excellent. Last night, however, the food was not up to their usual standards. My wife’s salmon was undercooked even though she asked that it be thoroughly cooked. And her asparagus was stringy and tough. My fettuccine with clams was a little bland and the bowl for the shells came a bit late almost as an afterthought. We will be back because we love the restaurant and believe last night was an exception to our usual dining experience there.

    Our favorite restaurant. We had a special occiasion so were given a corner booth, which was relatively calm in a Fri evening. We were a group of 6 and everyone was delighted with what they ordered. Especially recoomend the squid appetizer and the chocolate budino dessert. Exquisite and just as they are supposed to be!

    I usually give Poggio 5 stars, but yesterday I went for lunch with a friend around 12 noon. The restaurant was not yet crowded but the service was very slow. After the waiter took our drink order, he waited a long time to come back to take our food order. I finally got up and had to ask him to please come to our table to take our order. The food of course was excellent, as is the ambiance.

    Summer is our favorite time for dinner at Poggio. We had a great dinner there last night with the mushroom and corn sformatino, fragola and mista salads for appetizers and the spaghetti and roasted chicken with tomato panzanella salad for entrees. Everything was delicious. And our server Michelle was really outstanding. Can't wait to return.

    We made a last minute reservation after the Friday evening jazz event on the bay across the street. They were able to squeeze us in and we waited just 5 minutes for them to clear our choice table. Service was EXCELLENT. Ambience was perfect and atmosphere festive and bustling. No loud music, just lots of conversation. It made it easy to talk and hear while not having to hear conversation details of others. Food was presented very well and timed perfectly. Unfortunately, red sauce on margarita pizza was very bland. With pepper flakes and a little salt, it perked up. Because it was my husband’s 60th birthday, they brought out a beautiful little birthday vanilla cream dessert with berries and a lit candle. Very nice! We’d ordered dessert drinks because we couldn’t fit in anymore food, but this cream dessert was very light and we squeezed in a few bites each. The restaurant was very busy and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, which created a fun atmosphere. We had a wonderful time! Thank you!!!
