" I had heard such great things about Il Poeta, and finally had the chance to visit. It was indeed a treat for the taste buds! The seafood pasta was incredible – fresh and perfectly seasoned. The service was attentive but not overbearing, allowing us to enjoy our meal at our own pace. The restaurant itself has a cozy charm that adds to the experience. I would recommend making a reservation as it gets busy, especially on weekends. Overall, a delightful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
" First time visiting Il Poeta and I left with mixed feelings. On one hand, the food was undeniably fresh and well-prepared, especially liked the seafood dishes. However, the service was slow, which detracted from the overall experience. It was busy, so I understand, but we did have to wait too long to order and for our meals to arrive. It's worth another visit, but I hope for a quicker service next time. " (*Curated Review*)
" My partner and I truly enjoyed our date night at Il Poeta. The atmosphere was intimate and perfect for couples. We tried the house special pasta that was recommended by our waiter, and we were not disappointed! It was fresh and had a rich sauce that reminded me of the homemade dishes my grandmother used to make. Service was stellar throughout, and the chef even stopped by to chat. Great food, great people—it’s a gem! " (*Curated Review*)
