    Our meal at Poggio was wonderful. One thing I would recommend is adding an outside option to the reservation, if people will be sitting outside. We were sat outside, and this wasn’t presented as an option when I made the reservation - if it was, I wouldn’t have selected it. This was a bit frustrating, and we did wait 15 minutes to be greeted at our table. Thankfully, our server totally made up for the lack of professionalism. Mike was excellent. He had great recommendations, and was incredibly attentive during our meal. The food was truly some of the best food we have ever eaten. I got the crab pasta, and my friend got the spinach pillow pasta with the beef ragu sauce. Both were delicious, with very deep flavor profiles. We got the lemon meringue and chocolate cake dessert. Overall, the food was incredible. I would absolutely come back, but I would request to be inside and hope for Mike to be our server again!

    We greatly enjoyed our valentine's day dinner at Piatti in Mill Valley. This was our first visit. We had a reservation and were seated next to the window with a lovely view of the water and Mt Tamalpais. Everyone from our hostess to the server to the manager who visited our table were polite, friendly and on top of things. I had the Chicken Mattone Puttanesca - the chicken was a very large portion and cooked perfectly. The sauce was nice but could have used more vegetables. My wife had the eggplant parmesan (her fave) and said it was excellent. Flourless chocolate cake was delicious. Despite it being a busy night for them we never felt rushed. Our overall experience was excellent and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    Always enjoy this dining spot, great food and service. Only problem I had this visit was the staff and a couple patrons were using the emergency exit which was next our table! it was COLD. Often they would not close it completely finally commented and it slowed down use! Its an emergency exit!
