We enjoyed the special prefix Thanksgiving menu, Each of the dishes was unique and included seasonal items. It was the take on Thanksgiving in some cases, for example though ravioli with turkey in it. The salad, secondi and dolce were all really good too. Staff were really great and it had good sugg
Poesia is such a hidden gem! You’ll never know how charming this restaurant is until you walk in. The ambiance is amazing! Dim, Cozy, Charming, Romantic vibes with a beautiful RED wine bar and old classic Italian movies playing on the wall.
Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious, especially
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Poesia in San Francisco, CA, and I must say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the evening.
Let's start with the food – it was absol
Lovely little spot in a Victorian in the Castro. Great atmosphere, wonderful service, yummy food when you’re in the mood for a tiny splurge. Not crowded on an early Tuesday evening. Highly recommend taking advantage of happy hour (5-6:30pm) to sample discounted appetizers and entrees. Costs around $
i have never been to a restaurant more perfectly named. Poesia…this place is poetry in motion. The food taste romantic. The ambiance is a dream. The service touches your soul. I fell in love with my husband all over again.
Highly recommended.
Pastas are definitely on the al dente side.
Veal cheeks were very soft and tender.
nice place with a cozy small terrace in the sun.
pretty pricy for what it is tho, the burrata was a winner but the pasta isn't a 30 dollar.
service friendly but kinda slow. I'd enjoy another meal but I wouldn't spend a hundred bucks for it.
Ate here as a backup cause our favorite restaurant was full, and it was the best choice we made that night. We almost left because we didn't recognize the menu (I guess we aren't that fancy!) But the waiter came and up sold us on dining there, mentioning they had a cancellation with only 1 table ava
Beautiful space that is matched by the food and staff. An absolutely great place to have a bite to eat with friends. There is a garden space out back and a cute patio out front. The owner is beyond gracious and wants everything to be right and make sure his patrons happy. The food is fresh and flavo
Delicious every time I've been here, whether for dinner with friends or just to pop in for cocktails and a snack. In the heart of an energetic area near Castro street, it's easy to get to and plenty of entertainment along the way. Chad is an outstanding mixologist
I can’t share enough great things about Poesia Cafe. They kept much of the same layout and features from when it was Reveille. The pastry and food selection was limited, but they said it’s just because their new and it would be improved. While I was there they even bought out more items they were ba
I believe they make the best latte in the Castro and I enjoy sitting outside, people watching and enjoying my cup. The food is rather amazing as well. Pro tip: gruyere and prosciutto croissant with your latte and do not get it to go.
We had the tagliatte al ragu "della nona", the taglionlini vongole (clam pasta), and cavolfiore (cauliflower) over dinner and finished off with a tiramisu dessert. One consistent theme of the pastas was how perfectly al dente they were. You could catch a glimpse of how hard the staff were working fr
Great service!
The pasta is homemade and the sauce is amazing. I had the pasta dish with branzino fish. The sauce must haven been made with shellfish or shrimp which explodes with umami. The branzini fish, however, tastes too fishy or maybe it has past its prime time.
The veal appetizer is to die fo
Came here from out of town on a strong recommendation and it definitely lived up to the hype. Service was amazing, although the wait time was not. The food explained the wait - incredible! I had the most amazing lasagna ever. My boyfriend had a dish with mussels or something. He loved it too. I was
I've been there many times. Stuff is very friendly and welcoming. Food is traditional Italian with some American influence, good selection of wines and there always someone to help with the selection. Good for celebrations and family gathering, hidden outside area is everything. Sometimes they have
Really good food in here. Cacio e pepe was good but not amazing. Tried the espresso martini and Dante.
Delicious food + cocktails,fun ambience and lovely service—attentive but not intrusive.

Beautiful croissant ! That’s all i can say. I moved in usa 7 months ago and that was the best I’ve ever had. Also drinking a coffee has that Italian quality makes everything better. Thank you !
