We came here for an early dinner. The place was nice and quiet as it was between lunch and dinner (our favorite time to dine). Our waiter, Stephen, was excellent. The food was very good as was the wine. We will be back soon.

Came here for new years lunch. Happy to see they had a brunch menu as we were craving some pancakes. The grilled Tuscan steak and eggs were amazing, and the fried chicken panini sandwich and lemon ricotta pancakes were also delicious. Service was very good and the water view was beautiful. Hope to be back soon!

Another wonderful meal at Poggio. Very busy on Christmas Eve yet everything was perfect and timely. Our server, Daniela, made the evening better. Pappardelle pasta was outstanding and the featured Langhe Nebbiolo wine was delicious with it. Best restaurant in Marin.
