We ate at Il Posto tonight, delicious delicious food! The gluten-free pizza was tasty and the dough was nice and chewy. The lasagna was creamy. They even have a nice outdoor patio for my two puppies. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, I’ll be coming back again!

I came in yesterday, let me say the staff was so amazing and helpful on guidance on the menu. Our server Isela was so nice and her knowledge was amazing. She was so informative and such a delight. Her personality made our stay so much better, she’s such an amazing worker. Her service made our stay 20/10. Thank you Isela for an phenomenal service and for your spectacular touch you add to the experience you gave us. The food is so delicious and so filling, a great bite for the price! Definitely such a great spot to go with friends and family. I enjoyed the location and the aesthetic of IL Posto. I definitely recommend coming and giving a try.
The food was prepared at a timely order and came hot and ready for my family and I. I have to say, the chef was so fabulous and even came out to greet us. One of the most personable experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. Thank you for the great food and great service. Will be back again!!!

absolutely enjoyed this neighborhood spot.
The crust almost had as much flavor as the pizza itself and the salads were as tasty as they were beautiful.
Thoroughly enjoyed this for lunch and look forward to coming back with family again soon.

We had an amazing experience thanks to Ana! From the moment we were seated, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. She made us feel genuinely taken care of without ever being overbearing.Ana knew the menu inside and out. Her recommendations were spot on, and she was happy to answer all our questions with patience and a smile. She checked in at the perfect times, made sure our drinks were always full, and kept everything running smoothly. What really stood out was her positive energy. She clearly enjoys what she does, and it shows. Ana turned a great meal into an exceptional dining experience. We’ll definitely be back and will be asking for her again!
Highly recommend sitting in her section if you get the chance!

This is a hidden gem in the north park area. My Italian friend recommended this place and I was not let down. Both the Burrata Cheese Ravioli and the Norma pizza were amazing! And the taste was something that I never tried before. Its a bit difficult to find parking, I parked in a nearby retail center and walked over to the restaurant.

We first visited a year ago. The experience was amazing. Our server was wonderful, the food was delicious, the ambience was superb. We have been talking about revisiting Il Posto since and finally went back this week.
To say we were disappointed is an understatement. We truly are unsure if we built up our previous dining experience in our heads, or if we literally went to the wrong place this time.
The food was bland.
The lasagna only tasted of cheese and lacked seasoning.
The alfredo sauce tasted of onions and cream and nothing else. We took 2 bites of it and covered it with the sauce from another dish we ordered.
We attempted to order the risotto special with the steak, but were informed that the steak couldn’t be cooked medium. The waitress informed us that the kitchen only cooks steaks well done.
This is a HUGE red flag. Why can a fresh steak not be cooked to a specified temperature? Does the chef not know how to cook a steak, or is the steak pre-cooked and warmed up to order? Either way, I would not consume a steak here.
Either they changed chefs in the last year, or dropped their standards completely. It is disappointing to see that a place we have talked about and recommended to other people has fallen so far from our expectations. I wish I could take back my recommendations.

My family and I dined at Il Posto for the second time, and it was just as phenomenal as we remembered! The food was outstanding— we savored every bite of the pillowy gnocchi, perfectly balanced margarita pizza, hearty calzone, and creamy chicken Alfredo. Our server was incredibly polite and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Il Posto never disappoints, and we can’t wait to return!

We had a fantastic New Year’s Eve dinner tonight at Il Posto with our family, and it was the perfect way to ring in the new year. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, the service was attentive without feeling rushed, and every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious.
From the appetizers to the entrées and wine, everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. It was the kind of meal where everyone at the table was happy and already planning a return visit before dessert arrived.
Thank you, Il Posto, for a memorable New Year’s Eve filled with great food, great company, and a wonderful dining experience. We’ll definitely be back! ✨

Wow… this place was amazing! Honestly, the best Italian food we’ve ever had. We went on a Sunday around 3 pm and lucked out with happy hour. We shared the Trio alla Italiana, creamy Alfredo pasta, house wine, and the most incredible espresso martini (it even comes with a cute little sweet treat on top!). The staff was so kind and welcoming it felt like we were eating in a friend’s home.
