Food was really pretty good! We ordered Seafood stew and it was amazing Highly recommend to ordered this one! Pizza was not so good like we are expected… but normal. They’re have a very good sangria and IPA beer. Branzino was good too actually…. It was little bit longer for waiting… but it’s ok…

La Posta is a decent Italian spot with a relatively small menu. We especially enjoyed the tortellini and the pizza, both were flavorful and well-made. The desserts were just okay, nothing extraordinary. Still, we’re planning to come back and try more dishes from the menu.

Loved the spaghetti with crab. Will dream about this, simple dish. Apple tart special left a lot to be desired. Bread was so good. Love this neighborhood gem. Used to go often with friends, but hadn’t been in a long while.

We’ve eaten here a handful of times and it never misses. The staff is so friendly, professional and knowledgeable! Shout out to Gavin for taking such good care of us. We have tried so many dishes and love them all, especially the small plates and pizza. You can’t go wrong! Just overall a lovely experience and perfect for a date night.

Food was pretty good, we had tagliolini and salsiccia pizza along with coconut gelato and semifreddo.
Pasta dish had a lot of great flavors from herbs and capers, fresh noodles with tuna.
The pizza was great and had great flavors, the other table had the pizza that was primarily vegetables if I recall, that looked wonderful as well, well probably order two pizzas and a main or pasta next time.
Desserts were alright, semifreddo too sweet and the coconut gelato was overpowered by the chocolate in the gelato.
Their Italian sodas were great also.

We decided to meet a friend in Santa Cruz and because of their dog we chose this restaurant that offers outdoor seating restaurant is Quaintance small but the backyard is pretty large parking can be somewhat of a challenge, but we manage to find the location quickly. The selection is entirely Italian wines so if you’re looking for the New World wines, you’re gonna have a hard time finding anything, they have a large selection of Italian wines depending on your budget you can spend over several hundred dollars or you can find one for around $50-$60. The menu changes regularly and this particular night I decided to have the squid pasta with seafood I was disappointed to say the least because the flavor and when I asked for Parmesan, the waitress told me that they charge extra, part of the meal was the appetizers were very good and fresh made bread with butter a great start. They have heaters in the back which kept us warm.
The short ribs were excellent

I am not usually one to go out to eat at an Italian restaurant. But, holy smokes, this place knocks your socks off. Plus, you’ll get a nice glass of house red or white with any pizza or pasta dish (they also have gluten-free). Are you looking for a super romantic, classy, family oriented, and nice authentically Italian dinner? Then look no further and teleport here.

Last evening a dear friend and I enjoyed our annual, combined birthdays get-together over a meal at La Posta. I’d been the lucky recipient of gift cards worth the cost of two prefix meals on the restaurant week menu from Good Times Santa Cruz and thought it appropriate we use them this week! The weather was autumn-perfect for eating on the patio while we sipped our respective glasses of white and red Italian wines. We ordered different items from the prefix menu so we could share: butternut squash soup, smoked black cod croquettes, rotolo with chanterelles, scallops and prawns, tiramisu, and almond torte with roasted apples. Everything was flavorful and delicious. The server noted what a good job we did cleaning our plates, but going to a restaurant like La Posta is a rare treat for this reviewer. I didn’t want to miss a crumb! I’ll look forward to opportunities to return to my neighborhood restaurant for future special occasions!

Overall it was fine. There was one table already seated when we arrived early for our reservation, and the hostess attempted to seat us at the table right next to the entrance to the kitchen/bar. And when I asked to be seated at a different table further away from the kitchen, she directed us to the table immediately next to the first one. Mind you the entire restaurant was empty.
The food was mediocre sadly at best. The shrimp appetizer was a joke for $19 – a few pieces of fried shrimp, a handful of fried artichoke hearts and some olives. The corzetti with fruiti di mare my friends ordered seemed tasty but still just fine. The gnocchi with ragu was maybe a little off balanced. There was a ton of ragu with the oily sauce at the base and the gnocchi was oddly shaped and kind of soft. There were a group of servers that were lingering in the side area of the bar/kitchen having loud conversation about tv shows and such – not great for customers to see or hear that you have workers that are just loitering around. Not a place that I would necessarily return to or recommend. There are better Italian places.

I’ve shared what might seem like a random photo- but I took it because I wanted to remember the beer- Birra Friuli Amber, which was my new favorite- not too hoppy with a rich flavor and an amazing head. And the short ribs and chard were stupendous, as was the mushroom risotto.
