Poppy's Italiano

Poppy's Italiano is a family-owned Italian restaurant serving classic comfort food in a relaxed, lively dining room. Diners often point to the house sauce, which forms the base of many dishes, along with the carbonara, ravioli, and eggplant and chicken Parmesan. Lunch is served on a separate menu from noon to 3 PM, and the restaurant also offers catering and a full-service bar.

The St. Augustine location is at 104 Ashourian Ave in the Ashourian area, and the restaurant also has a Ponte Vedra Beach spot. Takeout and online ordering are available at both, and guests say live accordion music is sometimes part of the evening. Catering orders are placed by phone with the restaurant, and the space can also be used for special-occasion events.
