    What makes it fun

    Sharing poetry is like sharing a delicious meal. The power of our words can bring forth emotions, provide solace, ignite motivation, bring satisfaction, and stimulate thought, ultimately enriching our lives and nourishing our spirits. Similar to crafting words on a page, combining ingredients on a dish is our form of artistic expression; the passion for creating and sharing food from the heart is what ignites our creativity. Poeta is a neighborhood restaurant that invites everyone to come and enjoy our delicious, carefully crafted Italian dishes in our warm and inviting atmosphere. Enjoy a variety of delicious options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and daily happy hour.

    Had a date night here and the experience was one of my favorites!The hostess and bartenders took incredible care of us. The atmosphere was also a total vibe.

    Beautiful decor, lovely service, and great food! Made reservations for a weekday brunch (not a lot of places in town that do this). My friend ordered a latte and the fried eggplant panini (delicious and quite large) while I ordered the eggs Benedict and subbed the prosciutto for mushrooms - the bernaise was delicious and the bread and mushrooms were perfect. Ended the meal with splitting the waffle with coffee ice cream and an espresso drizzle.Will be putting Poeta into my rotation moving forward.

    Wow wow wow is all I need to say. Our group of 6 came here for an early dinner on NYE. The drinks, the food, the service, the atmosphere... all were fantastic!The cocktails were really interesting. My favorites were the Johnny Utah and 11th Street Daiquiri (great fruity summer drink).We split the Caponata and Whipped Beans antipasti as well as the Beef Tartare and Tuna Carpaccio for our appetizers. I forgot to get a photo of the antipasti and tartare, but they were our favorites of the apps. We all particularly liked the whipped beans and would highly recommend you give them a try. The carpaccio was tasty too, just not our favorite of the bunch.For our entrees, we got the following: Tonarelli (uni pasta), Spaghetti (carbonara with pork confit), Gnocchi (with lamb), Grilled Octopus, Risotto (with bone marrow), and Lion's Mane Picatta. Each dish was flavorful and cooked beautifully. We all really enjoyed the octopus. However, I would say my favorites were the picatta and tonarelli. Considering that all 6 dishes were amazing, I don't think you can go wrong with any entree here.Finally for dessert, we split the Chocolate Torte (with amaretto gelato), Chevre (goat cheese) Cheesecake, and the Grapefruit Thyme Sorbet. Our favorite was hands down the cheesecake, but all three were delicious and gave us a sense of very different dessert flavors.Our server was absolutely fantastic. We always had water and drinks, her recommendations were spot on, and she was very friendly and helpful.I can't wait to come back in the future to try more dishes.
