    I was a little surprised at the clam chowder, which is shellfish in a broth, not the creamy kind I am used to. It was good, but it is a lot of work to separate the clams from their shells, dispose of the shells, then dig out the clams from withinthe broth. Interesting experience! The shrimp risotto was excellent, the Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc accompanied it well, and to finish, the affogato was really nice. Mency was attentive and professional. And we had a perfect table, in the corner overlooking the water. The weather was drizzly and foggy, which the restaurant can't control (I'm sure they wish they could), so I'll try to be back when I can enjoy the view.

    This was the best sushi we’ve had in the Bay Area. Bar none. Note: when we first seated, we were seated next to a family party that had a lot of active toddlers (the noise level was at times a bit disruptive.) Not sure if the acoustics might have been elsewhere in the restaurant. It’s still 5⭐️ from us!

    My best friend and I went here for an early Holiday celebration. She had lobster and I had the scallops! Everything was really good and the seafood was fresh. Service was good but a little slow so not a problem. The holiday drinks were nice and they have an extensive wine list. This is a local favorite for special occasions in Sausalito! We will always be back year-round!

    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!
