"Date night Friday for me and wife at Il Poggiolo. Great dining atmosphere with balcony and good energy all around. I had rigatoni with sausage and parmesan and el pollo rosto - both were excellent. The chicken was served with sautéed spinach and roasted potatoes. The rigatoni couldn’t have been better, gravy with sausage was perfect. Service was timely and friendly, seated immediately at our reservation time. Recommend for a date night or just regular, every day meal."
