"Extremely nice meals for all of us. Pasta and Gnocchi were amazing and I had some of biggest tiger shrimp I have ever seen. Simple and delicious. Pretty quiet for a Saturday night but the weather was abysmal so I expect a few people cancelled. Would definitely go back and sit on the patio some warm summer night."

"Patio is beautiful in the summer but inside is not as special. Food is always great but the value for money isn't. Servings are rather small and extras you'd hope for at that price aren't there. Waiter not very friendly but otherwise service is good. Dropping the prices a bit would fill more seats."

"Went to Il Posto for Winterlicious on a Sunday night. Even though there were a fair number of diners, the ambiance was quiet and intimate - definitely a great date spot. Between the two of us, we had the mixed green salad, grilled calamari, salmon, and steak. The salmon was the stand out dish of the evening, cooked just right with perfect seasoning, to make for a very tasty meal. We were a little disappointed by the chocolate banana cake, and kind of wished we had tried the tiramisu. The wine selection was pretty good - we enjoyed a bottle of sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. Service was professional and courteous."

"Good food. Service was just average. I was a bit disappointed as I was not offered the following: Wine, right before the meal and coffee right before my dessert. I was planning to have coffee there but changed my mind when our server did not bother offering it."
