ABOUT US
Poesia “Po-eh-see-ah” means “Poetry”
And a whole lot more in Italian. Poesia reflects the light of romance & magnifies it to become that essential nature of love that makes every moment in life an adventure.
This unprepossessing restaurant was a delight! The service was wonderful and the proprietor so friendly. We don’t speak Italian and he spoke very little English but it didn’t matter in the least! Food and wine were both fabulous. The restaurant is a little out of the way but very worthy of a visit!
We went to have dinner here on our first evening during the holiday, picked it based on the reviews and were highly satisfied. The young staff is very kind, attentive and speak English. All the dishes we had were high quality, like in a gourmet restaurant. Wine was also excellent. We enjoyed the atmosphere, perfect first night in Puglia. Highly recommended for seafood lovers like us.
INSIDE POESIA
Cuisine
“A Tavola non si invecchia mai…”
Francesco d’Ippolito dreamed of creating Poesia when he was a young boy and took his first job making cappuccino at a neighbor’s cafe. Decades later, floating on the Mediterranean Sea in Calabria one Summer with a friend, he began systematically, step-by-step to make his dream a reality. What would it take to bring the magic of the Italian coast to San Francisco? The warmth of the Italian kitchen, the fresh flavors, and the light-hearted air? Since 2008, San Francisco is home to Poesia. Nestled in the vibrant and colorful neighborhood of the Castro, Poesia Restaurant, is a dream come true.
