   Wonderful atmosphere with great service. Food was very good. Not excellent. Portions are relatively small and very expensive.

   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.

    A very busy Saturday night, although it was early in the evening every table was full. Despite the full house the welcome was gracious and our table was ready for us. The food and service was exceptional and all 4 of us had a delicious meal and a wonderful time.

    More than a neighborhood Italian restaurant, Il Postino would like to be a fine dining experience. It has the prices, seriously elevated prices for the experience. Meats are very expensive-think $78 for lamb chops. Stick to the very good pasta. It’s also very noisy, tables cramped together, and a bit smothering in staff. Nice place, but you can spend as much at other Italian places nearby and get better food for the same price.

    Went on a December Saturday night. Was over crowded and had to wait for a long time for our table. Not much room to wait here. But… it was absolutely worth the chaos and wait!!! Wonderful food. Every course was a fantastic as the next. Even the zucchini anti pasta with the bread was memorable !! Such a treat. Like being back in Rome!
