“This was a fabulous restaurant with a great atmosphere, my wife loved it here and they were playing old movies (with no sound) right behind me. Each section had its own identity and we had probably the nicest table with chairs, not the best table exactly but the chairs were taller and padded was all. The table lights were cool and the staff was on top. Beautiful place to eat, highly recommend. Expect to pay a bit tho”
“We had a pre-concert dinner (prior to the Castro Street Theatre since it’s walking distance) I had scallops for appetizer and pasta for dinner. I had a wonderful vodka martini. My friends also enjoyed their dishes.”
“Highly recommended authentic and traditional Italian restaurant and food. The owners and staff are Italian and very sweet (especially Bene). The food is amazing! There is great indoor moody seating and also a well protected and cozy patio round the back (likely not dog friendly though) that can support larger groups too. Oh my goodness their pasta was phenomenal!! Sauce is sooo good. I will be back!”
“Had an absolutely amazing night here at Poesia, starting off with finding easy street parking downstairs. The immediate vibe we got walking in was artsy and cozy, and a bit of mysterious. Super good spot for meeting friends or a nice date”
“The food was great, we had soup, ragu pasta and grill fish for the night. The ragu pasta was my favorite overall! There was only one staff serving all the tables the night we went, but they constantly checking in with us, and was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend coming here for family and friends gathering, or simply just a date.”
