★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1First visit to Il Posto, although we have lived not far for 30 years; the place is a bit off the beaten path. And I don’t know what we were waiting for. The place is terrific.Easy to park in the street, and seated immediately at our choice of tables. Separate room for the bar.Old looking, very clean and classy place (two white tablecloths), with comfortable chairs. Our server, Christian, could teach a class in how to be perfect at the job. Plus the food was simply delicious. Chicken Parm. Shrimp Risotto. Chocolate Mousse. All just perfect.We look forward to our next visit! ♿️
September 22 · PhilYouInEverything was great from the food, to the service and atmosphere.. the only unfortunate thing which had nothing to do with the restaurant was my wife becoming ill before we ever even got our food , So she just sat there and watched the rest of us have a great meal, when she wasn’t in the rest room . This definitely put a damper on our experience but again having nothing at all to do with the restaurant…we will go back again for sure
August 10 · Hal BlakeNice restaurant, very good impression. Waiters are very very helpful, paying attention to your requests and overall pleasant people. Food is nice, typical to a good Italian restaurant. I liked mozzarella carrozza, calamari not so much, steak was good, large plate, veal parmesan was nice, thin while juicy.
July 22 · Artem MordashovAbsolutely AMAZING everything!!!!!! The food is delicious, authentic & the portions are beyond generous. The service/staff is always incredible. I love to come here most for date night & family dinner gatherings.It's a bit out of the hustle & bustle , located in a residential a area, but we'll worth the travel (especially by car). I promise you won't be g disappointed, regardless of what you order. My personal faves are thr fried zucchini, ceassr salad & baked clams to start; chicken parm, the homemade cheese ravioli, & chicken marsala for a main entree & the tiramisu fir dessert, but you honestly cannot possibly go wrong with any menu item. They also have a pretty decent wine list to accompany your meal. ENJOY!!!!!
August 08 · SJ LaBoscoI post ad nauseam about supporting local businesses, especially dining establishments. Indulge me today as I wax poetic about Il Posto Ristorante (@ 7409 Avenue U). Valentine’s Day was quite an event @ Il Posto. The menu was attractively presented with a variety of choices. The romantic atmosphere was courtesy of a beautifully adorned table setting. The food is amazing; the service is attentive; entertainment on weekends is top notch. Christian is our favorite server, but Fernando, Luis and Marcos are close seconds. Rounding out the staff, Gregory is the manager while Ramona and Mike bartend. For historians, Il Posto is the successor to the Gran Torino and End East restaurants.
