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.

    Overall, it was great, but our table was next to a big party of 10 and it was rather noisy. The cocktails were great, as was the flatbread and the absolutely delicious agnolotti with fresh pea sauce! 2 minor things: The green tomatoes in the caprese salad didn't seem ripe and were hard and tasteless; the red tomatoes were yummy. The lemon mousse was good, but didn't seem as lemony as it usually is. Like I said, very minor! And our waiter Karls was incredible! The service was really excellent.

    We first arrived and were promply seated. We ordered two cocktails which exceeded our expections! To start I would ask the size of the salad first, in our case we should have split it. it was on the large size. Great selection of entree's and wine! The Osco Boco was over the top. Love the restaruant

    Aspires to be better than it is. Good location and lovely ambiance. Appetizers were tasty and creative. Mains were where they fell off. The papardelle with duck/pork was mediocre. Looked unappetizing - and was- unappetizing. Salmon requested medium came out - raw. Deserts were good. Service was good. Nice pour by the glass.

    Homemade pasta was good but sauces were lacking in flavor and beef and pork bolognese had an off putting chili flavor . Service was slow. Very touristy. Ambience dated .

    This restaurant is located below a hotel in Sausalito. The restaurant itself was nice and we appreciated the round table that accommodated 8 of us comfortably and spaciously. We had a variety of items: Halibut, Ribeye, Osso Bucco, pizzas, meatballs, salads, pastas. Portions were fair: not small and not large (we didn't have trouble finishing everything). Great selection of wines and cocktails (alcoholic and nonalcoholic variety). We're from San Francisco and heard great things about Poggio. We enjoyed the food, the ambiance, and our server was excellent. However, we likely won't travel across the bridge just to go to this restaurant, but, if we're ever in the Sausalito neighborhood, wouldn't mind returning.
