    My wife and I had dinner at Il Posto last Saturday night. Food was great; service was very good, but, wow, was it loud in there. If you’re on one of the tables for six having lots of wine, you’ll be ok. If you’re looking for a nice dinner with your sweetie, I’d suggest several cocktails before you arrive, or take out your dinner instead.

    Unfortunately there are 2 tables that are not conducive for a pleasant dinning experience. Sitting by kitchen door or patio by outside door…...very cold and loud.

    Had a reservation for 4. Called the day of and asked to add a 5th. Could not have been more accommodating! Food was terrific as usual. I went with the special arugula salad to start and lamb shank special entree. Delicious! Little things matter….ice bucket provided the minute we arrived with white wine, didn’t have to ask. Delightful experience.

    We love Il Posto and dine here often. Last night’s flounder and fra diavlo specials were incredible, as was the burrata. However the New England clam chowder was watery and we were hard pressed to find a clam. Also, beware ordering a special without asking the price: shockingly more expensive than the other entrees 😳. But the service was very good.

    Il Posto is hands down the best Italian restaurant on the island. You can tell the pasta is homemade and every dish looks and tastes delicious. Servers were handling the full restaurant with expertise while still friendly and attending to everyone. Can't wait to return.

    Another good evening at Il Posto. Clam/corn chowder was phenomenal. Not heavy like many chowders. Which it was on the menu more often. Pasta special was delicious. I got it minus the crab so the scallops and shrimps, tomatoes and spinach in a light sauce was perfect. The veal piccata as always was wonderful One glitch our credit card was swiped twice/. Assuming it gets corrected without too much additional hassle it will have been a perfect evening.
