About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    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!!!

    The food was excellent. I had a caprese salad and the tagliatelle. My wife had the scallops appetizer and the halibut. Service was also very good.

    So hard to find a quiet, good restaurant these days. It was very peaceful. Could really have a nice conversation. And the food was incredible.

    Outdoor dining pleasant with last night's mild weather, but noise level at times challenging with that loud hot-rod Lotus. Our waiter, Didier, was bomb-diggity.

    We had a delightful meal with Alessandro taking good care of all of our needs. The food was scrumptious and plentiful. We shared a few starters: Caprese, fresh and flavorful, Carciofo, oak grilled artichoke , Calimari, Fragile - salad with strawberries, goat cheese , candied pecans, radishes and shallots- YUM! There were 6 of us, so we were able to do a nice sampling of the menu. There was not a bad dish among them. Flavors were distinctive. Dishes were artfully presented. Pastas made in house, leveled up our experience. Even though many take home boxes were needed, we managed to try a few house made desserts: Crema Di Limone, Tiramisu and Panama Cotta - all mini orgasmic experiences in and of themselves !

    We had a great dinner at Poggio. Excellent service from Maria. We shared the Caprese salad as an appetizer. Entrees were the Tagliatelle and the Rigatoni. They were out of the Pappardelle & the Spaghetti for our 8pm reservation on a Sunday night. We also had a bottle of Chianti. No dessert because we were too full. Highly recommended!
