    Food is good but it’s so loud that you cannot carry on a conversation. Would recommend but only if you’re OK with a super loud dining experience.

    I’m so grateful il Posto stays open when most of the restaurants in Avalon are closed. The menu is large and varied and everything is delicious. Remember to BYOB. Especially impressed with the Bolognese sauce.

    This was our first time at this restaurant though we have dined many times at the sister properties. The decor is plain I was surprised it wasn't a bit nicer. Overall, it was a good meal, we really enjoyed the appetizers grilled calamari over arugula & fried burrata wrapped in pancetta. The Ceasar salad dressing was very bland & no taste of anchovy but not all include it in their dressing. We both had the Special flounder Francese topped with lump crab over capellini. It had very nice flavor but became mushy quickly I believe due to sitting in the sauce. It did taste very good though. Our server was great, she was very busy but was attentive. We will return hoping they have the burrata again. BYOB.

    We decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day here and it did not disappoint. First I must commend the service - our waitress, Leigh (I hope I’m spelling it correctly) was incredible. She was handling the entire front room with the help of a very competent young bus person and did not miss a beat. Thank you for the wonderful service. The food, as always, was exceptional. We started with the 1/2 dozen oysters on the half shell and a salad - both delicious; but the main course was exceptional. It was the special consisting of heart shaped crab ravioli with shrimp, scallops and additional crabmeat in an absolutely exquisite sauce - it was so rich and flavorful you wanted to lick the plate. Add to that our own wine and champagne and you have a delightful dinner for two on Valentine’s Day or any day of the week. We highly recommend Il Posto for a special dinner or any dinner which will no doubt be special just by being there.

    The food is very good this evening I had the sweet potato cavatelli with marscapone cream sauce and it was excellent along with the grilled octopus appetizer. Another at the table had the stuffed pork chop which he really enjoyed while his wife had the Cavatelli, my wife had the seafood risotto which she enjoyed. BUT all agreed the but BEST dish of the night was the Cavatelli. The volume was a little too energetic but everyone was really having a great time.

    Good evening at Il Posto. Food was great as always. Tried the veal Picatta for the first time. It was fantastic. The octopus appetizer was spicier than I recalled from previous visits. Shrimp Bisque was excellent and Dover sole was wonderful as always. Hopefully when they expand into the new space at Brians they can do something with the entrance so that the dining room does not get so cold when the door opens constantly and have more space for people waiting. There were many large parties that night and guests were staying at the large tables long after finishing. People were bottlenecked at the door for a long time. I know it was frustrating for the staff who do a phenomenal job.

    Another great meal at Il Posto. As always the grilled calimari was wonderful and plentiful. The special butternut squash soup was delicious. Dover sole was great. Tried the Branzino for the first time at Il Posto. What a pleasant surprise. The light broth with the vegetables made it perfect. Fish was fresh and tasty. the pumpkin cheese cake was great. Very light and not filling.

    Off season on a Wed, there were not too many options, but we were pleased with Il Posto. Had arugula salad and the capellini sardinia, which were quite good. My dining partner had the rigatoni arrabiata, which was tasty if a bit too al dente. In both dishes, the seafood was fresh as can be. One grain of aim in my scallop. For the area, its reasonably priced.

    Wonderful service and food. Went for my birthday. Had a seafood bisque and gnocchi tartufo and NYC cheesecake with espresso ☕️. My wife had 1/2 portion of rigatoni alla vodka as an appetizer and a stuffed pork chop as a main meal and took half of it home. Tim provided wonderful and attentive service.
