About this business
Tucked in the vibrant neighborhood of Castro, Poesia is an unassuming and inviting Italian restaurant. Fresh and authentic Italian food served in an intimate atmosphere, a refreshing bar with a poetry lounge and movies from the silent era, all evoke a sense of dining in a small cafe somewhere in the by lanes of Italy itself. The carefully crafted wine list perfectly marries the food, creating an experience to be shared with your loved one.

Romantic and Dreamy – I am delightfully impressed with Poesia. At first bite of their heavenly cuisine, I was swept away to fond memories of my mother's cooking that eternally blended garden-fresh herbs and produce into perfection; although, Poesia's menu is far more sophisticated than my mother's. Despite being a busy restaurant, Poesia's culinary creations (like my Mom's cooking) envelop the hand-crafted quality of artisan delicacies that is never compromised of freshness or flavor. Poesia is truly authentic Italian cuisin... read more
Stay away – I read quite a few review about this restaurant on Yelp and City Search. I saw more positive than negatives ones so I'm wondering how many relatives and friends the owner is telling to write these reviews? I was so very disappointed. First busboy brought us tap water in an old fashioned reused bottle with greasy finger prints all over it - the water was at room temperature - right there and then I should have known it was going to be a bad experience. I had to ask for ice. Then came the bread which I had to ask f... read more
A new must-go Italian restaurant in the Castro – 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.... read more
Editorial Review – Quaint and romantic Castro eatery serves Southern Italian specialties at moderate prices.
True & Tasty Mediterranean – I don't write too many reviews but when I come across a gem, I feel it's only fitting. I wanted to make this Valentines Day as special as possible and I believe I found a great choice in Ararat. They offered a Prix Fixe menu which gave you an Appetizer (Kibbe), Entree (Beyti Kebab), & Dessert (Nightingale's Nest) only on Valentines Day. The food was nothing like I've tasted in my life. The service was absolutely wonderful and it was a very memorable experience. Ararat is truly off the beaten path... read more
