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.

Arancini, fine, Beet salad ok. nothing to write home about. The Mezzaluna was remarkably sweet. I had the Risotto which was meh, who cares. ( But the Tiramisu was good). What really stuck out was the fact that when eating and sharing the plates I spilt 6 to 10 pieces of risotto rice on the table. The plates were eventually cleared as we decided to wait for desert. But, no one bothered to clear the table of crumbs and in our case the little pile of Rice. So you have a dirty table cloth, with a pile of rice bits, looking like little white worms, just sitting on the table, I pushed them into a little pile, foolishly thinking someone would clear them off- no such luck.When someone brought the desert they just plopped the desert plate on the pile of rice . My wife asked the person to maybe clean up the rice, and after the look of dismay on his face, he did clear it up. Was it really that hard? Ridiculous.

Server kept coming over asking what we wanted after we repeatedly said we would let her know. Usually service is excellent. I have never felt uncomfortable or incredibly rushed before or had my guests .

We were seated at a lovely booth that accommodated our group of five beautifully. Being Christmas Eve, the restaurant was extremely busy.  The service was very pleasant if a little slow at times. that was most understandable as previously stated it was Christmas Eve.  Most of the group started with a salad. And all were very happy with their choices. Our entrée choices were the halibut, pork chop, and short ribs. They were all very well prepared, but were served lukewarmm. All and all it was a lovely evening enjoyed by each of us. Poggio is our Christmas Eve tradition with friends. We will be back before Christmas Eve of 2025 as we always enjoy Poggio. .
