New Italian cafe Poeta opened inside The Frances Modern Inn in early December at the former East Austin Uncle Nicky's spot.
With Intero chefs Krystal Craig and Ian Thurwachter at the helm, an all-day menu is offered with their spins on classic dishes, according to a news release.
Some of the breakfast dishes include eggs Benedict with gnocco fritto, prosciutto and bearnaise; brasato panino with provolone, peperonata and roasted garlic; and crab cake with preserved lemon, watercress and mint, alongside a wafflegato served with maple gelato and espresso.
Lunch options include Bibb salad with prosciutto, pea shoots and prosecco vinaigrette; and fried chicken picatta with shaved fennel and endive.
