   beautiful dining room. some good some bad here. spoke to the person i thought was the owner after our experience. atmosphere was too frenetic waiters moving way too fast around you putting stuff down and removing things from the table...very unsettling and nerve racking while you are trying to have a relaxing dinner. my appetizer salad and pasta were very good. my wife's melon with prosciutto the melon never should have been put on the plate...it was way over ripe. her main course angnoloti were over cooked. wine prices for full bottles here are ridiculously expensive...not a lot that is worthwhile under $100.

   Everything we order it was delicious except for the crème brûlée. Because there were several tables of more than six people, the restaurant was much noise here then we would have light.

    Food very good- portions too large. Waiter pushed most expensive items and did not fully explain charges for some things offered. Price was out of proportion.

    Great atmosphere. Good for a quiet evening for 2 or small group. Food was great. Swordfish special was nicely prepared and cooked to perfection. Service is friendly and attentive but a bit chaotic - multiple servers.

    This is becoming my go-to midtown Italian. Not only is the food notable, but the staff, all pretty senior, clearly love what they do in that style that only Italians can pull off, and it shows with every interaction. Pretty popular and you can see why. Have been here a dozen times -- every one a hit. Always a good sign.

    It’s a typical NY Italian restaurant. Nothing special. Service was ok unless you are a regular. Not welcoming or very friendly. Would not return.

    The quintessential Italian NYC restaurant. Highly knowledgeable waiters who will recite, literally, five minutes of specials from memory. The kind of place you can go and say "just bring me what is good" and you will get a memorable meal every time. In the winter (don't serve it all year) their osso buco is the best I have found in the City. The branzino cooked in a salt crust is memorable. Work wonders with octopus and squash blossoms. You get the idea. There are really a raft of superb Italian restaurants in the City. But for a high end, "let them take care of me" kind of place, this tops the list. Good Italian wine list, too.

    This was by far the best dining experience I had during my four day visit to NY where we ate out every meal. I am so tired of overpaying for mediocre food in loud, trendy, with restaurants, with poor service. Il Postino was fabulous in every way. The food was sublime and the service was excellent. This is how Italian food should be prepared. Il Postino is a very pretty restaurant and the mood and large fireplace was lovely.

    We were happy to be going to a favorite restaurant and were not disappointed1. The rooms were decorated so festively it really had a New Years vibe. The disco DJ sounds were the best! The food was great as usual. The live singer seemed to be at his own party. It was really too crowded to have anything but recorded sounds which were a really good mix.

    Just a lovely restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. You can be assured of a warm welcome, an extensive and delicious menu, and attentive service. Nice Italian wine menu. We celebrate mutual anniversaries with friends there every year even after they moved from 49th to 61st. Not handicap accessible but they make every effort to help.
