Il Poeta is a standout Italian restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. The menu boasts a variety of seafood specials, like the delicious and fresh octopus, and a diverse, reasonably priced wine list. The food is beyond delicious, with dishes like the potato leek soup of the day and gnocchi that showcase the chef's mastery. The service is excellent, with dignified and charming servers who make guests feel welcome. The head chef and owner, Mario, is a bon vivant who creates sublime yet unpretentious dishes. The intimate setting, complete with a lovely local neighborhood atmosphere, makes for an outstanding dining experience that leaves you wanting to return. It is a true neighborhood gem and the perfect spot for a romantic date or a slow supper.
