In the heart of Sausalito find vitello sliced excruciatingly thin and topped with lemon and tonnato sauce while enjoying the wafts of freshly risen Pizza that drift out of the kitchen at Poggio Trattoria. Executive chef Benjamin Balesteri creates Northern Italian fare using local and Italian ingredients. The bar may be the most hopping in town and is recognized for its killer Negroni. Private dining rooms above the restaurant can accommodate larger parties (10 to 150 guests). Deep and tufted red banquettes frame a room that opens on one side to a streetside patio where locals and tourists flock for a la minute Italian cuisine and great people-watching. Grab a Negroni from Tony at the bar while seated on a cushy stool, then shift to a table for a plate of vitello tonnato or a mista salad with fresh herbs sourced from the hillside garden. The pappardelle with braised lamb and pork ragu and the in-season seafood are musts. Breakfast hours are 6:30am to 11:30am daily, lunch and dinner hours are 12pm to 9pm Monday through Thursday, and 12pm to 9:30pm Friday through Sunday.
