    Overall a good experience. All pluses on the food and beverage and service. The space was too small to allow for ambiance to match. We were seated right at the entrance. We will go back.

    The Roman Street Food event was truly second to none. A genuine culinary tour de force in every since word.

    This evening was a special menu, "Cibi di Strada," and it was beyond description, in a good way. Five courses with wine, nearly everything made at da LaPosta, including the salciccia, pasta, and pizza. A most delightfully memorable evening. The only changes that we recommend: the banquettes are too low in relation to the table heights, and the noise level is a bit too high. With so many noisy diners, the restaurant can do without the high-volume background music, which only adds to the din.

    Lots and lots and lots of delicious food. I thought the wine was outstanding- really terrific! Most of the food was excellent. For me it was just too much carbs. I was looking for more different fish/chicken and veggies to complement the different pizzas. Amanda our server was attentive. The discussion of the wines were informative. The back ground music combined with the noise of the people talking made this dining experience too loud for me- I felt like I was eating at an outdoor stadium or some event where talking to the person at the other side of the table was optional.

    Great atmosphere. Food was very good. Great selection of wines, beers, and Amaro!! Waitstaff was very good but could have been a bit more attentive to empty drink glasses and may have missed an opportunity for me to have an extra but other than that- would highly recommend and revisit.

    This (used to be) one of our favorite restaurants. Last night's meal was a disappointment. The calamari was excellent, as usual, but our caesar salad never made it to our table, and the pizza was pretty cold, obviously having stood a while before delivery, and was greasy. The waitress never came over to check on us, even though she was in the vicinity, and seemed unconcerned to annoyed when we politely told her to take the charge for the salad off the tab. No apology was offered for her mistake. This was in great contrast to our prior delightful experiences. Maybe we'd come again, but only at the bar where we would get attention; maybe not even.

    The server seemed inexperienced and we felt a bit rushed. He gave me the wrong meal (the squid ink pasta undead of the octopus) so my food came late. My son’s Shirley Temple came at least 15 minutes before our bar drinks and instead of our pizza getting wrapped up we got someone else’s but didn’t know until we got home.

    Service was very attentive, though there was a lot of upselling by our server which was mildly annoying. winter salad was very tasty, not too much dressing, and nice original combination. Carbonara was a disappointment. VERY salty and way too cheesy (and I love cheese!). Ravioli got good reviews but also a too salty mention. Disappointed with $14 glass of wine that was like miniature. Either get. Smaller glasses or provide a real pour for that much money. Noise level and acoustics is primarily what would keep me from returning. We were there on a Monday night and place was busy but not full. Between the music, the other patrons and the uncovered floors and tables we could barely have a conversation. I would try the pizza for take out but don’t need to return to the restaurant, maybe the pizza is not so salty? Not a bad experience by any means but probably would not return if given a choice.
