Super cozy spot in East Austin. We had Sunday brunch on the back patio, and I would love to go back for a date night.

We recently enjoyed a nice brunch at Poeta, sitting outside on the back veranda. We had the gorgonzola antipasti served with crudites and grilled bread. I asked for the vegetables and my request was received warmly. We then decided to share the Chicken Milanese served with grilled endive and a delightful lemon sauce underneath. The service was excellent and our waiter recommended a nearby vintage bookshop. We highly recommend Poeta and plan to visit again for the evening menu.

The service was great but the food was just ok. It was very loud there- the wait staff was amazing . I got the spaghetti and it was just pork, cream and noodles. Very plain.
