Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in San Rafael

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!

The food was fantastic! The service was fine, but I was disappointed that there was no room for customization, which led me to choose a different dish than I originally wanted. Not ideal, but the food was still very good.

The service and food are great! Really kind and special people making fresh, flavorful food.

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant. Prices may seem a little steep, but portions are very large and everything looks like it came fresh from the farmers market that day!

First time here for the lunch experience. Service and attentiveness of the team was top notch and complimented the good food!
