The Granite State has plenty of gorgeous historic homes, but sadly for those of us who are curious about their interiors, most are privately owned. For that reason, it’s all the more delightful when you find a restaurant located in an old-fashioned mansion and can enjoy the ambiance along with your meal. Of course, ideally, this comes with fantastic food, too! You’ll find both of those things at Osteria Poggio, a brand new restaurant in Center Harbor. It just opened last month, and it’s already taking the Granite State food world by storm. You’ll want to check it out for yourself to see why!
If you've spent much time in Center Harbor, you're likely familiar with the Coe Mansion. Built in the early 19th century, it's housed a number of restaurants over the years, most recently, Coe House. Its history is truly incredible — it was a stop on the Underground Railroad and has hosted historical figures like Mary Todd Lincoln and Presidents Grover Cleveland and Ulysses S. Grant.
The interior of the mansion retains plenty of old-fashioned charm. Try to get a table by the window if you can!
Even better, dine on the patio, which has stunning lake views. It's the most wonderful place you could dream of to enjoy a cocktail while the sun sets.
Of course, the most important thing about a new restaurant is the quality of its food, and Osteria Poggio absolutely shines. Every single ingredient is carefully sourced — you won't find anything that's been frozen here! The produce and meat is all local and full of fresh New Hampshire flavor.
The pizzas are as good as anything you'd find in Naples, with perfect chewy crusts and flavorful toppings.
Once you've tried their homemade pasta, you'll never be able to return to the stuff from the box. It's better than any you've had before!
The meat and seafood options are also perfectly executed and seasoned.
As you'd expect, the desserts are just as good as everything else on the menu.
You can find Osteria Poggio at 18 Main St., Center Harbor, NH 03226. Learn more on their website .
