Poggio is a classic Italian trattoria with comfortable neighborhood charm and destination-caliber cuisine. Using the best available local ingredients and property-grown organic herbs and vegetables, the daily changing menu features soulful classics of Northern Italy, simply and earnestly prepared.After 30 years of building successful restaurants, Larry Mindel has cut quite a wide swath in the culinary landscape. With Poggio, he makes his definitive mark. It's been a long and adventurous trip to complete his vision of what a great restaurant can be with Poggio, one that began with personal epiphany years ago during his first trip to Italy and that has since included uncountable trips between California and 'The Boot.' But for Italophiles everywhere, it was a journey well worth the effort. Larry opens a restaurant that reflects not just where he's been, but who he is. Poggio is the natural extension of a career marked with numerous accolades and wonderful restaurants.
