User Reviews for Poesia-Osteria Italiana
04/25/2008 Posted by peterhaan
New restaurant in the Castro. Quite extraordinary, authentic hard-to-find plates here, such as bacalao, sardines with fennel and celery, burratta. Very engaging service, fun wine list, reasonable prices, good service, while forties B&W Italian movies play on the back wall from a DLP embedded in the soffit, without sound. Full bar, novel items like Bay Leaf Grappa. Somewhat noisy when busy---less than most--- but well worth it. Major head waiter, a sensitive owner-operator too. Very Very Italian and mediterranean. One short outdoors flight between Castro and Hartford. This is where Ming’s great Snowpeas reigned in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s and many other lesser effots have failed. Suppor them, they are very real!! It's going to be a regular for me!
Pros: Very unusual and satisfying dishes and ambiance
Cons: difficult parking of course, weird staircase up to it.
