If I was rating the food on taste alone I’d rate this restaurant 4 stars. I have to take a star off because the portions were way too small, and we all left hungry.

My wife Shirley and I have come to Il Poeta for years, before heading into the city to go to theatre.

Chef Mario hails from both Cipriani Restaurant in Venice Italy as well as NYC where he worked alongside his Papa Luigi who taught him everything. We've had their calamari, mussels and clams, Caprese, croquette di eggplant, and Linguini with clam sauce with zucchini.

Prices are steep, and the food is good, but you do not get what you pay for. Zucchini flower is served in a drab plate, all alone. We had to ask for a side of marinara sauce.
