Perched in a Victorian walk-up above the Castro’s bar fray, snug Italian osteria and bar Poesia showcases the seldom-seen Calabresi cuisine; a large mural portraying the owner’s nonna, superimposed with Italian poems, overlooks white-clothed tables in the dining room while a corner nook houses the self-billed “poetry lounge”; N.B. weekend brunch is forthcoming.
