   Classic dishes thoughtfully prepared from excellent ingredients. Each item was that way. Great wine choices, though expensive. Think of it as subsidizing good food and service.

   We've been to LaPosta several times over the years. We love their food and return for special occasions. They are very careful with their dish options and have excellent mixtures of foods that serve for scrumptious dishes. We DO feel the place is often overpriced, but our desire for the unique dishes makes it still an occasional favorite of ours. We've recommended LaPosta to many friends, but we always include our personal thoughts about their steep prices.

   We have enjoyed La Posta for many years. Food is always excellent. Likewise the service. Menu is very creative. The Farm Salad, which is simply organic lettuce with an exceptional vinaigrette dressing, is always our go to starter.

   We enjoyed a wonderful evening meal on La Posta's outdoor patio. The staff proved friendly and casual, though attentive. Our waitress was knowledgeable and helpful with explanations and recommendations. Their list of Italian wines was impressive and spanned a range of prices. The food was top-notch with quality local ingredients and creative taste combinations. Our one suggestion would be to include a few more vegetarian options, especially as the kitchen has such a command of bringing out ingredients' flavors. It was a splurge for us but totally worth it for the overall dining experience.

   My husband and I treated our daughter and her two wonderful friends to dinner at LaPosta Saturday night. It was our first time there. It was amazing. The service, the ambiance, the food, just exceptional. I can not wait to go back

    Outstanding experience and service provided by highly knowledgeable servers and sommeliers. The patio is ok; really just tables and umbrellas plopped in a parking lot. The food was very good. I particularly liked that the server warned us off the porchetta, his experience being that many people who ordered Porchetta didn't like it as the did not know what porchetta is. Well, I do know what porchetta is and enjoyed it very much. If I find myself in Santa Cruz again (unlikely) would happily return to La Posta.

    My halibut was wonderful and my husband really enjoyed his lamb stew pasta, the evening's special. In addition to tasting really good, the famous La Posta bread is terrific at gathering every last drop of sauce from one's plate or bowl. We always get an extra loaf to take home, and it makes excellent "french" toast, too. Each of the antipasti salads was exquisite: the Little Gems and the fabulous Scallops. Both of our servers were outstanding. We love the place.

    Fabulous food, staff and restaurant. Went for my daughters graduation. Made a mistake about the number of people and they were so accommodating. Food was so fresh and delicious. Everyone at the table loved what they got from the salads, bread, to pastas amd pizza. It all tasted like it was made with farm fresh ingredients. And everyone at restaurant was above and beyond friendly. It made the special occasion simply perfect.

    Wonderful, attentive and friendly service. The food was outstanding— colorful, fresh, flavorful. Lots of choices for different diets/preferences so everyone in our party was happy. The only issue was the music was a bit invasive— we were having a hard time hearing our conversation over the violin. Otherwise, a perfect evening.

    Loved the service and the food. We went on Wednesday, so there was free wine with our pasta and a folklore duo playing. The lettuce salad had a vibrant zing, the ravioli was luscious, the cake and ice cream incredible. The outdoor tables could use some decorations to make it a more inviting experience.

    We have been coming to La Posta for about 7 years, but had not been during the pandemic (we don't live close to Santa Cruz). It was one of our favorites in the Bay Area, but we found dinner last night disappointing. The first courses were great, but the rest of the meal felt rushed. Even though we asked for the salmon to be really rare, it was cooked to well-done. The pizza was okay, but nothing special. Same with the pasta. I understand that there is a new chef, so that might explain it. Also seemed like lots of transition with the wait staff as well. We'll try again, but disappointed for the first time.

    Iona was exceptional server. Had the salmon, which was good, but not as tasty as last time I had. Had sugar peas, and suggest you leave off the Parmesan. Bread is beyond delicious. Seemed very expensive, but isn’t everything these days.

    The salmon tartar appetizer is delicious. The Verdicchio by the glass is very food friendly. The little gems salad and the duck leg ragu pasta are super yummy. The atmosphere is relaxed and soothing. The timing of the meal is leisurely. No hurry. One of my favorite places.

    What a neighborhood treasure La Posta is! My friends and I were there on a Wednesday, Neighborhood Night, and we got a glass of wine with each of our four pizzas (everything was delicious). They had live music, and it was a festive atmosphere. Highly recommend.

    Best restaurant in Santa Cruz - understated setting, casual and friendly service coupled with high quality food with the freshest local ingredients and an excellent wine list (great italian reds!) makes la Posta the "go-to" restaurant for a great meal. Celebrated my birthday - shared a pizza and a salad as appetizers (amazing) - only small criticism - pizza could have used 30 more seconds in oven. Gem salad - fresh and delicious. I got the tagliatelle (noodles for long life) - would order, again and again. Rest of table ordered the cavatelli and the chicken. Everyone enjoyed their dish. Would come back again (and again).

    Dinner took forever. No one came to check on us after it was served. My salmon was almost entirely raw and cold and I had to send it back. We had intended to order wine with dinner but we’re not given the opportunity. We’ve been there many times, and it was so disappointing.
