Neighbourhood 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.

Poggio is my go-to restaurant. It never disappoints. The food, the service, the ambiance are all top notch. My return guests from out of town always request at least one meal at Poggio. First timers have remarked, “if only we had a restaurant like this back home”. Well done!

Overall we enjoyed the evening. The ambiance is great and service is excellent. While the food is nicely presented I ate the ragu and it was rather tasteless. Our starters, the prosciutto and meatballs were excellent and my husband chose pizza which he rally enjoyed. The wine was nice. Given the price point we felt this restaurant is great vfm.

The gnudi and the creme brûlée were absolutely delicious, as usual! And the wait staff was attentive without being obtrusive, plus all drinks and food came promptly. I have been to Poggio’s before and will go back again.

This was one of the best restaurants we have eaten at in the Bay Area this year. Loved the drinks the antipasto loves the mains. And desserts. The service was great. When in Sausalito go there. And try a scotch sour. My favorite drink! They made the best yet!

We have been going to Poggio for years. We have seen it through ups and downs. We only recently returned and the food is excellent again, but the service only mediocre. There was a large 2 table holiday party that our waiter was assigned to in addition to the 8 tables in our section. Bad management call as he was definitely challenged getting around to everyone. We waited A LOT. Yes he was nice and apologetic but when you are also waiting for coffee and dessert (which is usually quick) it was a bad ending . I ended up getting outbid my seat and asking the waiter from another section to help us out with dessert & coffee. Dessert came and coffee was brought about 15min after the desserts by original waiter. Really? Poor choice again. Overall the food was excellent but the waiting overall left us disappointed.
