My god! I am in 7th heaven Finally a real and true quality Italian restaurant. I spent my first 18 years growing up in Europe so I have a pretty high bar and after years of trying the so called top restaurants in Los Angeles (for 6 years) and SF I just gave up eating at Italian restaurants (with the exception of Il Cortile in Paso) and made my favorite pasta dishes at home. What a fool I have been! Went to Poggio on a Saturday date night with my favorite Foodie and was blown away! All the right stuff that you find in my fave places in Tuscany or Sicily! Opened with a fantastic classic Negroni already the bustling dark large dining room was changing into a Fellini movie and a top waiter Bart advised expertly one menu items: Started with Vitello thin sliced veal, tonnato sauce, fried capers, frisee, radish, meyer lemon omg with the flatbread multo bene! The the shared primo piatti: PAPPARDELLE (home made) braised pork ragu, taggiasca olives, cavolo nero, parmigiano reggiano omg again! The pasta was the best, the ragout deep and flavorful. I had picked a Montepulciano red for the heavy meat dishes, but the expert waiter recommended a Valpolicella that just nailed it! Secondi piatti: BRASATO, red wine braised lamb shank, potato puree, roasted eggplant peppers, basil omg for the 3rd time! Osso Buco like falling off the bone. By now my beautiful date and I were floating in the dolce vita of heavenly food and I decided to come here every week and eat my way through the menu ! Desert was a perfectly executed Creme brûlée with fresh berries and hallelujah! Finally an Italian place that had great grappa as a digestivo! Food 6 stars Service by Bart 6 stars Ambience 5 stars on a busy Sat. Mangia da Poggio that 's amoré
