    We had a wonderful lunch here during our first visit to Sausalito. The food was outstanding, the…read morewaterfront views were beautiful, and being able to sit outside with our dog was a huge plus for us. This is definitely on the more expensive side, but for a special lunch or a first-time visit, we felt it was worth it. The quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the location made for a memorable experience. The only service issue we experienced was at the beginning of our meal. It took approximately 15-20 minutes before we received water, and guest ( they knew pretty well ) arrived after us appeared to be served immediately by 3 different servants with water and wine. We felt a bit overlooked and unwelcomed during that time. However, I do want to give credit to our waiter, who recognized the delay and apologized, which we appreciated. One additional surprise was being charged $2 for hot water with lemon. As someone who does not drink iced water, I often order hot water with lemon and have never been charged for it before. On a lunch bill approaching $150, that charge felt unnecessary and a little unwelcoming. It certainly wasn't about the $2 itself, but rather the principle of it. That said, the food and overall experience were excellent. I would not take any stars away because this place is truly a gem with delicious food, gorgeous views, and a welcoming outdoor dining area for guests with dogs. Highly recommended, especially for visitors looking for a memorable waterfront dining experience in Sausalito.

    This restaurant is located on the pier of Sausalito with a beautiful view. The restaurant is small…read morebut offers a lot of character. We waited for an outdoor table for about 30 minutes. Service was very good. The wait staff was very attentive and gave advice when asked. I had a glass of white wine, 2024 pieropan soave, which was crisp and paired very well with the items we ordered. My bf got a local pilsner, which was refreshing. We ordered crab cakes and a bowl of clam chowder for starters. Both were very delicious! The vinaigrette dressing on the salad paired nicely with the crab cakes. The chowder had the perfect consistency. For mains we had the red snapper and the Mediterranean branzino. While both were tasty, I think they could've done a better job flavoring the fish itself. With the toppings on my Mediterranean branzino it made the dish but without the sauce and slaw on top the fish itself was a little bland. Same with the snapper. The fish had a delicious crispy skin and sat on a bed of vegetables and clams in a sauce. The fish itself was a little bland but together it worked. I think I would've liked to experience stronger flavors. Having said that, I can appreciate the dishes for what they were. For dessert the waiter recommended the tres leches as his personal favorite which is what we got. It was delicious! And while it was sweet it was not overly sweet. Overall I enjoyed this place, I'd come back for more.

    The perfect ending to an unforgettable day!…read more After an incredible bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge, we were absolutely starving and decided to stop at Poggio Trattoria. It turned out to be one of the best dining experiences of our entire Fourth of July weekend! A special thank you to Maria at the front, who welcomed us with such kindness and found us a wonderful table on the beautiful outdoor patio. It was the perfect place to relax after our ride and soak in the lively Sausalito atmosphere. Our server, Christie, was exceptional. My husband has celiac disease, and I have multiple food allergies and sensitivities, so dining out can often be stressful. Christie listened carefully, answered all of our questions, and made us feel completely comfortable. Her knowledge, patience, and attention to detail allowed us to simply relax and enjoy our meal. The food was outstanding! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It is such a gift to find a restaurant where delicious food and excellent allergy awareness go hand in hand. The patio atmosphere was everything you hope for in Sausalito...beautiful weather, people enjoying the holiday weekend, and the perfect setting to celebrate after an unforgettable ride across the Golden Gate Bridge. Great food, outstanding service, and genuine hospitality made this one of our favorite meals of the trip. A heartfelt thank you to Maria, Christie, and the entire team at Poggio Trattoria. We can't wait to return the next time we're in Sausalito!

    We were going into the city to explore and stopped in Sausalito to catch the ferry…read more We had missed the one we intended to take, so we walked around a bit and decided to try out Taste of Rome for brunch. It is a cute little deli/bakery/restaurant. They gave us a menu and we sat down, but we ended up ordering at the counter. My girlfriend ordered the Fiorentina - Egg White with Spinach, Mushroom & Garlic and I got the Piemontese - Spicy Ground Beef, Mushroom, Spinach & Gorgonzola Cheese. We both throughly enjoyed our meals! The ground beef was not spicy at all though. We were hoping we had left room for a sweet treat, but we were stuffed!! I don't know if I'll make the special trip out here again, but if we are around, we might come again to try a sweet treat!

    I'm really disappointed with my recent experience ordering from this restaurant through Grubhub…read more I understand that Grubhub handles delivery logistics, but it's still the restaurant's responsibility to communicate with customers when there are issues. I was left waiting about 45 minutes with no update--no notice of a delay, no mention that there might not be a driver available, nothing. What made it worse was calling the restaurant for help. The response I received felt dismissive, and I was simply told the order was canceled. There was no effort to assist or provide any explanation. Yes, I received a refund, but that's not the point. Good customer service is about communication and respect for your customers' time. A quick update could have made a big difference. I hope the restaurant improves how they handle situations like this and works more closely with Grubhub to keep customers informed.

The service was a little shaky, but overall we greatly enjoyed our evening! Food & Drink: We joined the waitlist when we arrived, and got some drinks while we waited in the bar. We really liked our cocktails, with the Margarita and Aperol Spritz being two highlights. Once seated, we ordered the Shishito Peppers, Pear Pizza, and Olive Pizza. The peppers were nicely cooked and salted, and they paired well with our drinks. The pear pizza was surprisingly delicious with gorgonzola, nuts, and some leaves. The olive pizza was also good with its' greek inspired toppings of feta cheese, olives, and red peppers. For dessert we tried the affogato and Bocce dessert, which were both good. Though my affogato had mostly melted on arrival. Service & Ambiance: The only issue we encountered was the service. Our evening got off to a slightly bumpy start because the waitlist notification was sent to my phone's spam folder, meaning I wasn't notified and we almost missed our opportunity to be seated. For this reason, it would be good if staff could check the bar before removing customers from the waitlist (I told them that we would be waiting in the bar, which is a short distance from the host desk). Another issue was that the pizzas took a long time to come out. Fortunately, management made it up to us by giving us a free salad and free meatballs. This was a classy gesture and definitely helped! (Hopefully this was just a one-off situation). Finally, I was surprised by the amount of kids at this establishment. Considering this is prominently marketed as a bar, there was quite a lot of unruly children running (and climbing) about, which did affect the ambiance somewhat. Management may want to consider whether allowing children is worth it, as they somewhat spoil the lovely waterside ambiance. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would come again!

The service was ok and friendly, they got the orders correct. The food was good, but could have been a tad bit more flavorful. All in all, a great place to relax and eat.

The location is awsome, right on the water in Tiburon, and the vibe is cozy without feeling cramped. Seating is a little tight, but honestly it kinda adds to the charm. There's one huge unisex bathroom tucked right behind the bar, which was surprisingly clean and easy to find. The back patio is probly the highlight. On a clear day you get amazing views of Angel Island and SF, hard to beat while having lunch or a drink. Food was solid. Kitchen does a decent job, although they seem to miss order details every now and then. I ordered a medium rare burger and it came out well done. Before I even had a chance to make a big deal about it, our server noticed and brought a replacement burger out pretty quick. That was super thoughtful and showed they actually care about the customer experiance. Not perfect, but good food, great views, and staff that are willing to make things right. I'd definitly come back.

The polenta is one of the best I've ever had--slightly crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The side dish version comes with mushrooms. The flavor is absolutely delicious. I also chose the grilled Salmon Grenoblesse, which was perfect. It was served with the scrumptious polenta without the mushrooms, but added asparagus. They customized for me their Mousse al cioccolato (chocolate mousse) with warmed berries. The staff is very busy but they are friendly and accessible.

TLDR: assaulted, and kicked out for dancing while white.
