About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Innovative
  • Good for groups
Poetry / like food / is meant to be shared. Our words can evoke, comfort, inspire, fulfill, provoke, ultimately adding meaning to our lives and nutrition to our souls. Akin to putting words on a page, bringing ingredients together on a dish is our poetry; the love of preparing and sharing food from the heart is what brings out the poet in us…
Escape to the heart of Central East Austin, where a hidden gem awaits at Poeta, a captivating Italian inspired restaurant. Re-established in 2025 and embraced within the inviting, 1930’s historic bungalow “Swoop House”, Poeta exudes rustic charm combined with modern sophistication. Immerse yourself in the culinary artistry of Poeta’s award-winning chefs, who craft seasonally inspired menus designed to tantalize every palate. From dinner to happy hour, specialty brunches and events, Poeta provides an unforgettable dining experience. Wander through the garden spaces for extended evening drinks and dessert.
