    5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟- Let me give some context... I'm sure you'll agree, going out for dinner on a major holiday like Mother's Day, especially to an Italian restaurant of this quality is a challenge, to say the least. With that said, let me start with the chef-owner, Giorgio. Yes he was on the floor, sleeves up and who was overseeing each and every guest along with managing the backend while keeping an eye on floor. As the restaurant was literally full, we had to wait a few extra minutes for our main entre but Giorgio took care to ensure everything went smooth. We were all highly impressed with everything. Our server was managing several large tables of what appeared to be Italian families along with several other 4 and 6 tops. Each dish we ordered was delicious. Even as busy as they were they allowed us to split a Caesar 3 ways and there was enough for all. The salad was fresh with just the right amount of dressing and cheese and croutons with a slight hint of garlic. Bread was soft and crunchy. You know what I mean. The freshest calamari, and a spaghetti and meatball dish to die for. I believe the meatballs were ground filet and the sauce was exquisite. I could swear I could hear Grandma in the kitchen. It must have been her cookin' straight form Italy.

    Posto 896 is a hidden gem! We ordered an Italian inspired Creamy Burrata Salad to share which was fabulous! The Hungarian main course of Chicken Paprikas and Mushroom Paprikas over their homemade nokedli is perfection. We finished our meal with a lovely tiramisu. The staff was friendly and made great suggestions. It was a fabulous afternoon. We will definitely come back.

    How lucky are we to have Panzanella in our neighborhood. The redone dining room is more modern, less stodgy. Service remains excellent and the updated menu is wonderful. This may be the only restaurant serving warm bread with tapenade for only $1.50 per person! The pastas are all excellent, as is the branzino. With warmer weather here, dining outdoors is a special delight.
