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.

    The food was not as good as the last time I was there, a few years ago. The waiter acted smug throughout the meal, threw the dessert menus on the table for us to look at. The best of all was when the waiter brought the affogato to the table. The ice cream was in a parfait bowl, topped with almonds and dried orange (not good) and the bowl fell over, my friend caught the bowl before it landed in his lap. The topping went on the table and the waiter scooped up the toppings and put it back on the ice cream and served it to us like nothing happened. My friend had ice cream all over his hand and the waiter didn’t seem to care. They didn’t even comp us the dessert. Terrible—won’t be going back again.

    Poggio is our go to place for a great meal...every time. We were with friends for lunch who drove from Oakland to join us. They too were delighted with the staff, the atmosphere, and the food. We enjoyed pizzas and baby gem salads. The pizza was exceptional...perfectly cooked crust! One stand out thing about the staff at Poggio...they always honor my request for a quiet table in the restaurant. I am legally deaf, so hearing in restaurants is a real challenge for me. I wanted to note that in this review since we do eat often at Poggio and I have never thanked them in the past. Thanks everyone at Poggio...a really fantastic place to eat, drink and be merry.

    Perfect ending to our e bike tour which ended in Sausalito. The food selections were creative and fresh and delicious. Hard to choose what to get because so many items seemed appealing. Would definitely come again.

    Food was very good as usual. I loved the seared scallops. A little bit disappointed at the Duck confit salad . The duck’s skin was crispy but the Duck was dry . But the salad that comes with the duck was very good. Service was very good.

    Overall our lunch was good. Our waitress was very nice. The main dish was delicious. I was not empress with dessert, Affogato was very weird , not a classic Italian recipe. But I will give it another try next time.
