    Our meal at Poggio was wonderful. One thing I would recommend is adding an outside option to the reservation, if people will be sitting outside. We were sat outside, and this wasn’t presented as an option when I made the reservation - if it was, I wouldn’t have selected it. This was a bit frustrating, and we did wait 15 minutes to be greeted at our table. Thankfully, our server totally made up for the lack of professionalism. Mike was excellent. He had great recommendations, and was incredibly attentive during our meal. The food was truly some of the best food we have ever eaten. I got the crab pasta, and my friend got the spinach pillow pasta with the beef ragu sauce. Both were delicious, with very deep flavor profiles. We got the lemon meringue and chocolate cake dessert. Overall, the food was incredible. I would absolutely come back, but I would request to be inside and hope for Mike to be our server again!

    We really enjoyed our dinner last night at Osteria Divino. It really seemed like a neighborhood favorite, not a place that is there to cater to tourists. Knowing that we would want to talk, I asked for a table away from the jazz trio that was performing, and the back room fit the bill. Our server was really efficient, but there was a slight backup in the kitchen. However, the food was great. I really enjoyed my saltimbocca and the desserts. Our favorites were the affogato and the ice cream with brandied fruit. My friend said that the lasagna, while delicious, looked a little sad - it was just a square on a plate. That was remedied when the server brought him a side of the wonderful mixed veggies. I would definitely recommend Osteria Divino!
