"The first few times I went to Poggi 's I had an excellent time. It has however greatly declined in quality. I went last week and the prices had gone up however the quality had declined. The wines on offer are basic Italian wines which should not be more than £20/£30 per bottle however they sell a basic 'Primitivo ' wine for close to £40 and a 'nero d 'avola ' for close to £20. These are basic wines from medium quality houses. I do not mind spending money for good wine, I do mind over paying wine by a factor of 2/3 though. The 'focaccia ', which is usually excellent was not fresh due to the fact that they had decided to slice it before hand (likely over lunch) and by dinner time is was dry. The meat 'tangliere ' was more bare than usual and the parma ham given was from the end of the leg. Again, I would not mind if they didn 't over charge for it. The Mushroom sauce for the ravioli was cold and the wild bore was very dry. Given that they are both about £20 and the portions small I 'd say that 's disappointing. The really upsetting part is that I 've always been a fan of that place however there are plenty of good restaurant in the area and for the price that one pays at Poggi 's these days, and the quality of the service and food, I would recommend trying the plethora of other Italian restaurants in the area, with also a better selection of wines."
