Poeta & Second Bar + Kitchen

Poeta is a Michelin Guide–recognized concept from local Austin chefs Ian Thurwachter and Krystal Craig, offering approachable Italian cooking rooted in ingredient-driven menus.

Using Texas-grown produce and careful craftsmanship, Poeta creates dishes defined by warmth and simplicity, from hand-rolled pastas and slow-simmered sauces to classically inspired Italian desserts.

Guests may enjoy an à la carte menu for brunch and dinner, or opt for a chef’s tasting experience highlighting thoughtful preparations. On weekdays, Poeta and Second Bar + Kitchen collaborate to offer a breakfast and lunch menu.
