Sen. Donnelly votes for two year budget framework
Submitted by WIKY News on Wed, 12/18/2013 - 5:14pm
The U.S. Senate follows the House in approving a bipartisan budget plan. Senator Joe Donnelly of Indiana voted for it, saying it provides needed certainty for the next two years. Donnelly says no one got 100% of what they wanted, but the bill makes additional cuts to the deficit, and prevents another government shutdown. He also says it's an example of how the parties can work together, and that's something that needs to happen more often. The Senate approved the bill on a bi-partisan vote of 64 to 36 over Tea Party opposition.

The robbers told the victims to hit the floor and stole a purse, wallet and cell phone before taking off. No one was hurt.

Retired EPD officer dies in car crash
Submitted by WIKY News on Wed, 12/18/2013 - 9:31am
A Boonville woman who was seriously hurt in a car crash in Warrick County over the weekend has died. 86-year-old Norma Jean Love was a retired Evansville Police Officer who worked for the EPD from 1954 to 1974. She was the first woman to take the merit system test when the system was put into effect. The accident happened Saturday afternoon at South Rockport and Metz Roads, south of Boonville. Investigators say 20-year-old Tyler Hylton of Reynolds, Kentucky, crossed the center line and apparently hit a van driven by Love.
Gasification plant back on track
Submitted by WIKY News on Tue, 12/17/2013 - 5:14pm
The Indiana Supreme Court votes unanimously in favor of building a controversial coal gasification plant in Spencer County. The court ruled that altering the contract that developers of the Rockport plant signed with the state did not amount to a significant change. Opponents had argued the contract wasn't valid. Under it, the state will buy synthetic gas produced at the plant at a fixed price for 30 years. The state will then resell the gas and consumers will either make or lose money.

Parks Board member defends condition of parks before city council
Submitted by WIKY News on Tue, 12/17/2013 - 5:13pm
A member of the Evansville Parks Board disagrees with those who have criticized conditions at a number of city parks. Kenny Overton brought a slide show of the parks to City Council members Monday night. Overton says the parks are for the most part well groomed and well maintained. He encouraged more public-private partnerships, and asked the council to consider restoring a $50,000 emergency maintenance fund it cut, just before next year's city budget was approved.
IU Med Center project hits fast track
Submitted by WIKY News on Tue, 12/17/2013 - 5:11pm
It's a tight time frame. The Redevelopment Commission votes to request qualifications from developers interested in working on the IU medical school project in Evansville's downtown. But the developers only have until January 3 to respond. And the commission is expected to choose who the city will work with at its January 7th meeting. Mayor Winnecke says the city has options on land where the school could be built, but for now won't say where it is. IU says the deadline for site proposals to be submitted is the end of next month.

Market to remain strong - wage increases not predicted
Submitted by WIKY News on Tue, 12/17/2013 - 5:08pm
It's been a great year on the stock market - out-performing just about all predictions - and a top investment analyst expects more of the same next year. While in Evansville, John Augustine, Chief Market Strategist for Fifth Third, said one reason is Europe, Japan and the United Kingdom following the U.S. out of the Great Recession. But Augustine says businesses haven't shared their increasing wealth with employees because of concerns about costs of the Affordable Care Act.

Yes, if I realized that I would be dead either way in such an assault, I would not try to kill my assaulter and drag them into death with me. Life is too precious a thing for questionable fucks like you to cheapen it.
I would. I don't trust the universe to deliver karma. Sometimes it takes direct action. If killing my assailant means they are no longer capable of killing someone else, that justifies it as far as I'm concerned.

Floods in Thailand during the 2011 monsoon season left many high-profile HDD manufacturers in the country unable to produce their drives, but prices were expected to have returned to normal by now. Latest estimates suggest this may not happen until 2014, with industry analysts IHS iSuppli releasing a report sugesting that we may have to wait even longer for prices to re-stabilise. "With the two mega-mergers between Seagate/Samsung and Western Digital/Hitachi GST, the two top suppliers held 85 percent of HDD market share in the first quarter 2012," the report reads. "The concentration of market share has resulted in an oligarchy where the top players can control pricing and are able to keep ASPs at a relatively high level."

The BLM Farmington Field Office has prepared a preliminary Resource Management Plan Amendment/Environmental Assessment (RMPA/EA) for the Glade Run Recreation Area Recreation (GRRA) and Transportation Management Plan (R&TMP).
Over the past several decades, the public has increasingly relied on public lands to provide for motorized and non-motorized recreational opportunities. Advances in vehicle technologies and rapid population growth in the west have often out-paced agency planning and the ability to effectively manage visitor use. Balancing public use and enjoyment of public lands along with protection of important resources requires more active and effective management. The overall goal(s) of this planning effort is to provide the public with a range of recreation opportunities, reduce use conflicts, promote visitor safety, protect public lands resources, and designate appropriate use of the roads and trails within the planning area.
A Dear Reader Letter, preliminary EA, Route Comparison Table, and KML files are available for review under the Documents and Information bar. These documents are available for a 45-day comment period beginning February 20, 2013, and ending April 5, 2013.
You are invited to review the EA and the Route Comparison Table and provide written comments, which will be used to prepare the final GRRA R&TMP. Comments can be sent to:

A public meeting will be held in order for the public to learn more about the GRRA R&TMP and provide comments. This meeting will be an open house format, which will allow the public to discuss their concerns with BLM specialists, as well as provide comments in a variety of different formats.

text: Currently, "pain treatment occupies about 10 percent of all healthcare expenditures but receives about 1 percent of research funding," says Roger Fillingim, a professor at the University of Florida College of Dentistry and president of the American Pain Society, a professional group. Transformational change in diagnosis and treatment of pain will require a greater national commitment, the experts say. In the end, the financial investment could pay off in major savings across the healthcare system if researchers resolve one of the most intractable and pervasive problems that still challenge doctors and their patients.

By Earl Vaughan Jr. Staff writer
Those who may consider Lent as minor window dressing leading up to the observance of Easter are mistaken, said Joe Long, pastoral associate at St. Patrick Catholic Church.
"It has a direct link to Easter and the Easter season," he said. "We really can't have Easter without Lent, and we can't have Lent without Easter."
The 40-day period of Lent begins next week with Ash Wednesday. Long said the period has a simple meaning.
"It becomes a reminder to us yearly that if our house is not in order, it needs to be in order," he said. "It's similar to a spring cleaning."
Ash Wednesday begins with believers marking their foreheads with ashes in the sign of the cross. The roots of this tradition date back to the Old Testament, Long said, and the story of Jonah and the great fish.
"The king of Nineveh poured ashes over his head," Long said. "Through the centuries, the symbol has continued. We are created from dust, and we go back to dust. It is a strong reminder of our own humanity. So one day a year, we sign ourselves with the cross of ashes."
For congregants of the church on Village Drive, there will be some changes for Ash Wednesday. The church is constructing a new worship space, and all services have been moved into its smaller family life center.
"Seating-wise, we have about two-thirds the space we had," Long said.
The new building is projected to be completed between November and January, depending on construction delays.
Each Friday during Lent, the church will hold a soup service. Members are asked that day to donate to the poor the money they would normally spend on a meal.
One of the main features of Lent is personal, as individuals are asked to give up something for the 40 days. Long said the goal is to give up something that is difficult to sacrifice and will have an effect on the person that will change his life for the better.
"You want something positive to come from it, the idea of new life at Easter, symbolized that for 40 days you have carried out this act."
Long said observers should not advertise what has been sacrificed. It should just be eliminated as part of daily life.
The most important thing, he said, is that changes made during Lent should be perceived as positive.
"The image of Lent has traditionally been seen as something negative," he said. "But it should be something positive. How is life different from what it was when it started, and where is God in all of that?
"The idea of what conversion is is that it's not a momentary thing, but an ongoing thing."

This Dec. 13, 2010 photo shows a Taco Bell restaurant in Mountain View, Calif. Taco Bell is launching an advertising campaign Friday to fight back against a lawsuit charging its taco filling isn't beef. A class-action lawsuit was filed late last week in federal court in California. It claimed Taco Bell falsely advertised its products as "beef." The suit alleges that the fast-food chain actually uses a meat mixture in its burritos and tacos that contains binders and extenders and does not meet requirements set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be labeled beef.

Both laughs and thrills are on the masthead in this comedy drama about a would-be reporter written and directed by Woody Allen. Sondra Pransky (Scarlett Johansson) is an American journalism student who travels to England to visit friends. While in London, she attends a magic show where magician Sid "Splendini" Waterman (Woody Allen) brings her on-stage as part of a trick in which he makes her disappear. However, while waiting to be "de-materialized," she's visited by the ghost of a murdered reporter (Ian McShane), who passes along the scoop of the decade. The spirit claims that Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman), the wealthy and handsome son of a well-known aristocrat, is leading a double life as "the Tarot Card Killer," a serial murderer who has been terrifying the nation and eluding police. With the magician's help, Jane begins investigating the story and is able to piece together some incriminating evidence against Lyman. However, the more she learns, the more dangerous her investigation becomes -- especially when she falls into a romance with the suspected killer. Scoop was Woody Allen's second consecutive film with leading lady Scarlett Johansson, after the critically acclaimed Match Point; it was also Allen's second feature to be shot in Great Britain. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A trio of orphans becomes embroiled in a mysterious and long-running lawsuit in this sprawling BBC adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel. A legend in the legal circles of Victorian London, the messy inheritance case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce has been trickling through the courts for years with no end in sight. Nobleman John Jarndyce (Denis Lawson) has seen the case destroy more than one life, so when he becomes guardian to three young people -- beautiful Ada Clare (Carey Mulligan), Ada's cousin Richard Carstone (Patrick Kennedy), and her devoted companion, Esther Summerson (Anna Maxwell Martin) -- he vows to shield them from its pernicious effects by bringing them to the safety of his estate, the eponymous Bleak House. Richard, however, becomes obsessed with the unattainable Jarndyce inheritance, to the detriment of his career and mental health. Esther, meanwhile, remains haunted by her origins; the product of a scandalous pregnancy, she was raised by her aunt and knows nothing about her dead mother's identity. Meanwhile, imperious noblewoman Lady Dedlock (Gillian Anderson) plots to hide the evidence of her own mysterious past -- a quest that leads her to the intrigue surrounding Jarndyce and Jarndyce. She is but one of dozens of characters who find themselves drawn into the lawsuit's web of corruption, blackmail, and murder. Bleak House debuted October 27, 2005, on BBC One. It received its U.S. premiere on January 22, 2006, on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre, where the 15 British episodes were combined into six longer blocks.

It's 1936, and Janet Widdington (Maggie Smith) and her sister, Ursula (Judi Dench), are a pair of elderly spinsters who share a home in Cornwall on the coast of England. After a storm, the sisters discover that someone has been washed up on the beach in front of their house. Bringing the body inside, they discover the victim is a handsome Polish man named Andrea Marowski (Daniel Brühl) who has suffered a broken ankle and speaks no English, only Polish and German. As the sisters patch up Andrea's ankle, Janet dusts off her old German textbook from school, and begins getting to know more about their guest. It isn't long before Janet develops an infatuation for the good-looking stranger, and attempts to teach him English, which is more than a bit maddening to Ursula, who has fallen head over heels for him -- especially after the sisters discover he's a gifted violinist and hear him display his craft on a borrowed instrument. As the sisters find themselves vying for Andrea's attention, they wonder if they should report his presence to the authorities, especially after Olga (Natascha McElhone), an attractive woman in her early thirties who lives nearby, becomes aware of Andrea's presence in the home and wants to make contact with him.

The life of one of Great Britain's most influential and feared monarchs is dramatized in this lavish production, originally produced for British television. King Henry VIII (Ray Winstone) is a shrewd but ruthless ruler who is determined to sire a male heir who will succeed him on the throne. However, his wife, Catherine of Aragon (Assumpta Serna), after numerous attempts, is only able to bear him a daughter, so the king takes a mistress, Anne Boleyn (Helena Bonham Carter), in hopes she will give him a son. Anne Boleyn cleverly insists that she must wed the king if they are to have a child, and when the Catholic Church forbids Henry's request for a divorce, the king responds by forming his own denomination, the Church of England, which he will oversee himself. One of the king's most trusted advisers, Cardinal Wolsey (David Suchet) attempts to convince Henry that this is folly; Henry sentences him to death, and sends him to the Tower of London to await his sentence. Despite these machinations, Anne Boleyn is unable to give Henry the son he wants, and the king decides she will pay with her life for this failing. As Henry becomes increasingly ruthless in his dealings with those close to him -- as well as other nations -- he leaves a bloody wake as he uses beheading as his favored means of dealing with troublesome wives and untrustworthy allies. The cast also includes Sean Bean, Charles Dance, Emilia Fox, and Emily Blunt; Henry VIII first aired in the United States as part of PBS's award-winning anthology series Masterpiece Theatre. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Maverick American filmmaker Robert Altman takes a witty and absorbing look at the foibles of the British class system in this intelligent murder mystery set in the early '30s. Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) and his wife Lady Sylvia (Kristin Scott Thomas) are a pair of wealthy British socialites who have invited a variety of friends, relatives, and acquaintances to their mansion in the country for a weekend of hunting and relaxation. Among the honored guests are Constance (Maggie Smith), Lady Sylvia's matronly aunt; Ivor Novello (Jeremy Northam), William's cousin who is also a well-known actor and songwriter; and Morris Weissman (Bob Balaban), an American film producer who is friendly with Ivor and researching an upcoming project. Observing the proceedings are the domestic staff of the mansion, including imperious butler Jennings (Alan Bates); footmen George (Richard E. Grant) and Arthur (Jeremy Swift); Probert (Derek Jacobi), a valet to Sir William; housekeeper Mrs. Wilson (Helen Mirren); Mrs. Croft (Eileen Atkins), who oversees the kitchen; and Elsie (Emily Watson), a maid. Also on hand are the guests' personal servants, including Mary (Kelly Macdonald), Constance's maid; Henry (Ryan Phillippe), Weissman's valet; and Parks (Clive Owens), a butler. While the servants are required to display a high level of decorum, they are expected to be passive observers who do not comment on what they see, though the gossip among them travels thick and fast once they retire to the servants' quarters downstairs. And it turns out that there's plenty worth gossiping about, especially after Sir William turns up dead, and everyone is ordered to stay at the mansion while the police investigate the killing. Gosford Park also features Charles Dance, Tom Hollander, Natasha Wightman, and Ron Webster; the screenplay was written by Julian Fellowes, based on a story by Altman and co-star Bob Balaban. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Attending are Nickleby's wife and teenage children, Nicholas (James D'Arcy) and Kate (Sophia Myles). Because Mr. Nickleby died broke after speculating on stocks, Nicholas needs money fast to provide for his mother and sister. When he seeks help from his uncle, Ralph Nickleby (Charles Dance) -- a cold-hearted businessman -- Ralph refuses cash and instead arranges for Nicholas to assist at a boarding school operated by Wackford Squeers (Gregor Fisher), a sadistic overlord who whips and starves his students. Soon, Nicholas rebels against the inhumane conditions at the school, thrashes Squeers, and flees. A pitiful and sickly student named Smike (Lee Ingleby) joins Nicholas and becomes a family friend. After working as an actor, Nicholas gets a good job at a counting house operated by the kindly Cheeryble brothers. Meanwhile, Ralph Nickleby tricks Kate into meeting his friend, Sir Mulberry Hawk (Dominic West), who wants to defile her. When Hawk strongarms her onto a billiard table, Kate escapes.

Perhaps inspired by the success of biopics like Shine and Amadeus, this film based on a true story -- and a book (entitled A Genius in the Family) -- also focuses on the destructive forces of being a musical genius. Hilary and Jacqueline du Pré are gifted sisters who grow up in England in the 1950s and compete for musical accolades and love. Hilary (Rachel Griffiths) is a talented flutist, but it's her younger sister, Jackie (Breaking the Waves' Emily Watson), who is the musical "genius" cellist. The film follows their sibling rivalry in musical competition and romance. Though extremely close as children, it is younger sister Jackie who eventually becomes the international star, marrying top pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim.

Rod Serling's sobering drama, originally shown on Playhouse 90, is re-made in this made-for-cable movie. The setting is the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, where Jews are either carted off to Nazi death camps or left to die in the disease-ridden squalor of the streets. Armin Mueller-Stahl stars as Rabbi Heller, a father who is struggling to retain his commitment to peace in the face of the horrors he sees around him. Heller stands his moral ground while watching his daughter Rachel targeted by a German soldier and his son transformed into a hateful ex-prisoner. Director Joan Micklin Silver effectively re-creates the claustrophobic feel of the Ghetto and music group Dead Can Dance provides the emotive score. ~ Bernadette McCallion, Rovi

Space Truckers

Former National Lampoon editor Ted Mann, who scripted this $27 million science-fiction comedy, calls it "the first outer-space road movie." According to Mann, the film has "no scientists, no techies, none of the usual polished, sanitary environments we're used to in our space films. Space is like anywhere else -- the people who are there are underpaid and poorly regarded." In the year 2196, freight pilot John Canyon (Dennis Hopper), one of the last of the independent truckers competing against the huge mega-corporations, is hassled by high-tech interference plus corrupt bosses. After Canyon delivers a cargo of pigs, genetically engineered to be square and stackable for more efficient shipping, he finds his profits siphoned off by a crooked labor boss (George Wendt). When Canyon heads for Earth with a secret cargo, he's accompanied by young apprentice trucker Mike Pucci (Stephen Dorff) and waitress Cindy (Debi Mazar), who plans to marry Canyon if he gets her safely to Earth. The trio goes through the asteroid belt and are captured by pirates, led by engineering wiz Captain Macanudo (Charles Dance), who discovers the secret cargo of the army androids stolen from him by capitalist corp chief E.J. Saggs (Shane Rimmer) -- who's plotting an android takeover of Earth. Filmed at Ireland's Ardmore Studios, Space Truckers was shown at several 1997 film festivals (Sundance, Sitges, Vancouver). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Not as scary as you might think — thoughts, observations and musings
from the Pace blog.
Content marketing continues to prosper as more organizations develop robust content programs and are seeing good results. This month I took a look at recent changes in search engine optimization thanks to Google's Hummingbird updates, if there is a true divider between earned and paid media in modern marketing and how branded content providers will [...]
If there's one thing we learned in 2013, it's that content marketing is not a fad. It's estimated that marketers spent an average of $118.4 billion on content marketing, video marketing and social media in 2013. Marketers now spend 25% of their marketing budget on content marketing. This shift in budget spending is a direct result [...]
I am a trilingual Millennial. Aside from English and Spanish, I am fluent in social media. (And no, that doesn't mean I walk around saying "LOL" all of the time.) The other day I overheard a colleague say that there isn't really a difference between Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest simply because, "you share pictures on [...]
I was in the 9th grade on 9/11, I was a freshman in college during Hurricane Katrina, and I graduated during the Great Recession with one of the highest unemployment rates in history. I have watched a system breakdown and my story is the same as every other Millennial out there. These are the events [...]
Whenever the word "millennial" is dropped in a conversation, it evokes a strong reaction ranging anywhere from excitement to disdain. However, with approximately 80 million Millennials spending $600 billion in the United States every year, many brands are shifting their focus to Gen Y and its staggering spending power. There continues to be an ongoing [...]

Online Reservations
I always enjoy my meal, I eat around the menu - trying new things - opening up my thoughts to different foods. I learned about puntarelle here and now order it whenever it is in season. Love the sparkly fresh delicious food, bright salad, fresh fish, meatball appetizers and finished with an espresso and dessert.
The food was absolutely amazing! Service was fantastic and they honored our anniversary with candles in our dessert and did not charge corkage! Food was delicious! So light and fresh - you could tell it was the ingredients were thoughtfully planned out and the presentation was beautiful! I want more!!!!!
Food was excellent, service was very good. My only problem with this restaurant is that they like to keep the front windows open even on a cold evening which made the whole restaurant very cold.
Great meeting place. Food and service is always excellent.. As seniors, my wife and I have always been treated very well. Love the convenience of your valet parking.
Our service was very slow even though it wasn't that crowded when we got there. Had to ask twice for our main entree, both times told us they were plating it...it finally arrived. The manager apologized profusely and gave us a drink on the house. Very classy....
A perfect lunch. Generous free dessert for my Birthday celebrating friend. Unfortunatley she had little appetite so some of the restaurants skills were wasted, but I enjoyed everything.
Unusual menu items. Fresh and flavorfully seasoned. Good presentation. Attentive staff. Best bread in town. Good value. Not to be missed
I love how you can have a fun evening with friends in a vibrant scene and have a perfect not-too-heavy meal. Although the Italian options do tempt one to have antipasti, pasta and something from the grill, it is also possible to have a salad or antipasto followed by a small plate of pasta (if you choose the smaller of the two sizes). We enjoyed a cocktail, in my case a martini perfectly blended by a very good bartender. Then we each had a salad ( baby gem Caesar-like or roasted beets) followed by a small pasta, which in my case was a very interesting plate of ravioli stuffed with rabbit and served with rabbit meat balls and kale. The wine we chose was a nero d'avolo from southern Italy, and it was as yummy as it was reasonably priced.
This was a special occasion, a birthday. Our server recognized that and made us feel at home. The decor and table spacing was fine. Noise level acceptable. The rest rooms were out the front door and up and elevator, but elegant and clean. The service was a bit slow, but that's OK on a special evening when you want to linger a bit. Nice pace in that respect. Our server really did not check back often enough to see if we needed our drinks freshened. The rest of the serving staff was VERY attentive -- plates taken away, water added, more bread, etc. And not obtrusive -- Poggio's has that part down.
We had an anniversary special set menu. All three courses were excellent and the wines matched perfectly. We'll be back.
Perbacco night in the regional season was indeed special. The menu included three exquisite dishes -- more food than I could eat and each dish a meal unto itself. The Perbacco chef came to our table and we chatted about Italy. I am looking forward to attending the next regional night. Thank you Poggio!
Poggio gets it right on so many levels - food quality, authenticity, atmosphere, wine list. The only demerit on this particular Wednesday night was service. Our server was stretched a bit thin causing our service to be slow. But with good company in a comfortable booth with ample wine, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.
Met friends who had never been, on a Saturday night. Restaurant was über-busy, but server was unfazed and gave excellent service. Ordered gnudi and burrata and tomatoes for the table--fabulous. Little gem salad, halibut, salmon, and chicken mataoe (?)--all delicious. We've recommended Poggio to many friends and look for any excuse to come to Sausalito and eat at Poggio. Just don't try to argye with Tony, the bartender!
The gundi are to die for. Tried the grilled calamari and it was a wonderful change from breaded and fried. The smokiness of the oak fire made for a nice appetizer. Would return in a heartbeat.
Had a lovely quiet lunch here. The food here is always a delight!
There are two feelings with this restaurant, depending on if you are outside or inside. both are good. the food is good, not unforgetable. wine list is good, while not being over the top extensive. service is professional, attentive and adds to the eventing.
This is the 2nd time I've eaten at Poggio this year and I wasn't disappointed.....I ate there in September and was very pleasantly surprised and went back this past week and absolutely loved the food! Excellent!
On a Friday night when we couldn't find a place to eat in Union Square we crossed the bridge to Sausalito and this never-fail darn good standby. The purée of butternut squash was smooth and flavorful. The rigatoni was al dent and the sausage satisfying. My wife loved the bucatini. Add attentive service and great recommendations on glasses of wine from the Italian-centric list and you have an experience which brings us back time and again when we're in the Bay Area.
The waiter was not very friendly and not very helpful. We asked for recommendations and he said "everything is on the menu and the menu is made every day". Usually this is not the case with the waiters at this restaurant. Not helpful, didn't talk up the menu with recommendations of what was good and tasteful. The fish was halibut and snapper for this particular night and we asked which one he would recommend. He didn't make a recommendation, whereas the table next to us the managing partner and chef made recommendations (maybe, because these people were known) and they received better service.
Yum! Just as good as any dinner we had in Italy! Loved the selection of Italian wines on the wine list!
We found this place last month and couldn't wait to return. The have some of the best Italian food in Northern CA. We especially like that there are two sizes for the pasta servings. It gives you an opportunity to try several dishes without getting too full for dessert. Believe me you want dessert here. It's to die for. My favorite, the Panna Cotta. Will return again and again.
Delizioso! Would love to see more vegetarian options, but the ones we had were fantastic! Fusilli with pesto and the grilled artichoke.
Business lunch, quiet and excellent service. Menu is wonderful. Calamari salad a perfect starter and small portions of pasta available. Polenta stuffed gnocchi delectable. Not sure what would be like in tourist season but one of more interesting Italian menus.
Our party of 5 (4 adults and 1 teen) was very pleased with everything. My only disappointment was that my first choice, a special described by our server, was unavailable. However, I was happy with my second choice. My dinner companions are sophisticated diners who have traveled all over Europe (one of our party is a diva and has dined at top restaurants in all the major cities--New York, Milan, etc.) They were unanimous that there was nothing to complain about and much to praise, including the pleasant telephone reception when I needed to change the time of our reservation. Bravo!
This restaurant continues to wow me, no matter how often I go. The butternut squash ravioli with brown sage butter melted in my mouth. And the mixed salad was so incredibly fresh. The ribbons of carrots (instead of slices) and crisp greens were perfect. I can't wait to return, which will be soon. And I'm glad the menu changes just often enough where I can still get a dish I previously enjoyed and try new ones as well.
We had a fabulous meal at Poggios! Celebrated our 30th Anniversary. I had the halibut, which was superb and my husband had the meatloaf which is understandably one of their signature dishes. We also shared one of their fabulous homemade pasta dishes, pasta with sausage. Ended our meal with the chocolate cake and their house made ice cream. Will be back when we return to Sausalito!
This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Marin. The bar area is always interesting and colorful as well.
While in CA to celebrate our 25th anniversary, our chic little boutique hotel suggested Poggio. It was a fine tip: dinner here was among the best meals we have ever had, anywhere. Everything about this restaurant is exquisite- spaces are beautifully decorated; service too, was exceptional. But the food itself: singular! Every course was a more delicately layered, nuanced experience than the one before. There were 3 of us- my husband, our 12 year old daughter, & me- each course, we shared our dishes with one another. By dessert & some incredible coffee, we were convinced this was a meal we'd not see the likes of again. Dining at Poggio is an experience you will not soon forget. Enjoy sharing it with someone you love.
We celebrated our in-between birthdays with a long-awaited truffle dinner. Table was one we'll request again, service was superb, food was, as usual, outstanding. With one exception: my risotto (with added truffles) was fairly tasteless. A disappointment, of course, but we will be back.
Poggio does a nice job with the white truffle season, offering truffle grated on anything you like at $40 for 4 oz. The menu identifies those dishes that best "accept" the truffle -- those that will not overwhelm its subtle flavor. They recommend one 4 oz. per person, but we ordered two for four and that was plenty. The lighter dishes worked great and the only slip up was the seafood pasta, which was a sauce that overwhelmed the truffle a bit. Nice appetizers, good ambience and Sausalito remains a lovely setting, especially if you come in by boat from SF.
We love Poggio's creative italian menu. Their salads, seafood and pasta dishes are our favorites. And the desserts are particularly enjoyable. The dining room is beautiful and elegant. The seating quite comfortable and the servers well trained. The only down side this evening was the hostess who was dressed in a very trashy way and shuffled through the restaurant. She was very dismissive when we asked for a particular table and was rude to the couple at the next table. I don't understand why management invests so much in a restaurant and then has the face of the restaurant be such a weak point. Go for the food and atmosphere and try to ignore the hostess.
Celebrated our anniversary at Poggio and the overall experience was very nice. The restaurant is quite large and therefore the noise level rather high but the excellent service and great food made the noise easy to overlook.
I had an fantastic meal at Poggio and the service was excellent. I found the quality of the food above average considering how touristy Sausalito can be and because it was attached to a hotel which normally makes me skeptical. The menu was also very unique....I would highly recommend it if you live or are visiting Sausalito.
Nicely appointed dining room, comfy booths. The menu was a little challenging to understand, interspersed with Italian, but it was a very creative menu. My husband ordered the gnuda, a pairing of a spinach gnocchi-like dish with a beef dish, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. One friend had the lentil soup with nice chunks of bacon and it was tasty and hearty enough to be a meal in itself. Another friend ordered the meatloaf and descibed it as "airy", saying that it was very good. The Gem salad was overdressed to my tastes. Overall it was an enjoyable meal in a pleasant setting; consider this restaurant if you are looking for something a little more upscale in town with an Italian menu geared to a foodie following.
So glad we made reservations because on this Wednesday night before Thanksgiving in quiet Sausalito, Poggio was jumping. Lovely atmosphere, decorated beautifully for the holidays, nice servers. They made the night special for us and our out of town friends. The food was delicious. Thank you.
We had been many times before but never On Thanksgiving Outstanding food for a holiday, special menu and the whole regular menu. Good was delicious,service great even though it was ver crowded. Hats off to the new chef ! Poggio has been my favorite for a long time!
We began with a small pizza that the 4 of us shared, the crust was chewy, crispy and a bit burned - perfect, in other words. The cheese was the finest quality. Then we had lady apple salads that were fresh and thoughtfully done, followed by a wonderful marscapone risotto that was perfect with the fat, earthy, chewy rice. We also shared the Florentine steak, a massive Porterhouse of a grilled thing - rare on the inside and well seared on the outside. We chose a nicely priced and lovely zin to go with our meal, followed by house made limoncello and desert. While we were celebrating and had a more formal meal inside, I noticed that the restaurant has good heat lamps and tables outside, casual and dog - friendly.
Wonderful dinner, excellent service, great ambience! One of my favorite places. Everything was good but the burrata appetizer was out of this world. Plus, you can actually speak in a normal voice, no shouting across the table. So refreshing.
There are only a handful of restaurants in Marin that can accommodate groups of eight at a round table for easy communication. And for the aging population of Marin that's an important capability. Add a well designed menu and extensive bar and wine capacity as well as interesting menu and dessert choices, and you have a dining experience that puts it in a league with perhaps only the Buckeye Roadhouse as a voice for fine dining for big groups. Thank you to the Mindels for another successful restaurant that adds to the meager restaurant options in Marin.
A wonderful dining experience from beginning to end.
I think Poggio is the best Italian restaurant in Marin. I have never found fault in any way. It's been my restaurant of choice for many years now.
Poggio is my go to spot for dinner when I have out of town guests. Lovely interior, great food, and good service. It is possible to get a hearty dinner, member of our party had the short ribs, or something light...i shared pizza and had the brussel sprouts side, and still leave feeling satisfied. The flat bread pizza is fired in a wood oven, toppings are amazing. The menu is is unique and changes daily.
Been there several times and always enjoy our meal and experience.
My wife and I have eaten here every couple of years for the past several years. Our latest trip left us a bit underwhelmed. While the location and service continue to be fantastic, we found the entrees slightly overly salted and it just seemed the quality of the food had declined. Friends still rave about it, but we have other restaurants in North Beach that are just as good if not better
Three of us enjoyed an excellent lunch a few days ago. We really enjoyed our selections, all small plates ….soup, crab, roasted cauliflower and very nice bread. Coffee was good. Service the best at any place in a long time. Ben
A very warm and cozy evening, food was great and the ambiance is so nice. Service is professional
I had dinner one night followed by lunch the next day and food at both was excellent. The short ribs were to die for.
3rd time in 10 years this cafe has failed to check me in with OpenTable. i arrived on time with a party of 4 as reserved and ate and left. later i got an email from Open Table saying i had cancelled at the last minute or failed to show. i called cafe and they corrected it but why does this happen and whose fault is it?
I have been eating here for years now. It never fails to deliver on every level. The service is friendly, professional, and attentive. The food always fresh, inventive, seasonal, and downright delicious. I took my parents there for the first time last week and they were blown away. They have traveled extensively throughout Italy and they said that they can't recall having a better meal in Italy than the meal we had at Poggio. High praise, indeed. Poggio will remain an absolute favorite.
SO this IS our neighorbood place so what more can I say as we have been coming here since DAY1. Food wonderful and staff terrific-home away from home if you want to dine out--KUDOOS!

Rhubarb Rosemary Crisp: For Two
I'm a firm believer that desserts, especially in the form of cakes, pies, and crumbles, should be served for a crowd. It feels celebratory and it's a great way to end a meal with the ones you love. But then there are times when the middle of the week rolls around, with no place to go or people to see, and a craving strikes for something sweet with an oaty brown sugar topping smothering warm fresh fruit.
I happened to have everything to make a rhubarb crumble and wanting to avoid the inevitable, dessert for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the days after, I settled on making it for two. Shortening up the recipe quite a bit to make only two servings took some thinking and tweaking. At first I was worried I would end up with to much crumble topping, but after thinking about it more I thought, who ever complains about having to much crumble? I ended up with the perfect amount anyways and a tasty treat I looked forward to digging into.
Have you ever had rosemary with your rhubarb? It's amazing. They were meant to be together. It transforms a tart, sweet dessert into something sophisticated and interesting. I love my rhubarb desserts on the more tart side, then sweet. Adding sweetened whipped cream or creme fraiche adds a little extra creamy sweet touch at the end as well, but you can choose to use more sugar in the filling if you'd like. Crisps and cobblers are one of my favorite things to make in the Spring and Summer time. They're always a comfort and easy to prepare and serve.
I used spelt flour for the crumble, but feel free to substitute whole wheat or all-purpose flour if you'd like. I really liked the coconut oil in the crumble, it added another slight flavor change to the traditional butter topping, but either will be fine. Although the butter will most likely brown a little more. The ramekins will seem really full, as the rhubarb cooks it will break down and sink a bit, so don't worry if you think it will overflow.
Rhubarb Rosemary Crisp
serves 2
crumble topping
3 tablespoons spelt flour
3 tablespoons rolled oats
2 tablespoons brown sugar
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons coconut oil or cold butter
rhubarb filling
1 stalk rhubarb, chopped or about 1 full cup
1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoon cane sugar
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease 2 ramekins and set aside.
For the crumble, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Add in the coconut oil and using your fingers, mix in until crumbles start to form. Use your hand to squeeze the mixture together into one or two large clumps and place in the freezer while preparing the filling.
In a separate bowl, place the rhubarb, rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir to combine.
Spoon the rhubarb mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins. Pull the crumble out of the freezer and spoon evenly on top of the rhubarb.
I like to place the ramekins onto a baking sheet just in case there may be any spill-over then place in the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and the fruit is cooked and bubbly. Serve warm with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream or creme fraiche.

Comments about BILLABONG STANDARD ISSUE POLO:
This a great fitting polo shirt, at an affordable price. You can look great during that thanksgiving dinner when family is over, while not having to dread throwing on that macys button up that doesn't fit so well. Looks great with jeans, and very soft. Wouldn't recommend wearing it with shorts. More of a casual, shirt if your going for that nicer look.
