We ordered the calamari which was crispy and paired with delicious fresh marinara sauce. The spaghetti alla Nerona, is a classic from Campania Italy, and I’ve never had a better dish of pasta. It was flavorful with just a slight hint of creaminess, the zucchini was fresh and delicious.
The steak was tender and fresh, well cooked, and the grilled vegetables and potato crickets paired very well with it. They had an excellent wine by the glass selection, I had a couple Super Tuscans, which matched the meal perfectly. It is pricey, but probably because all the food and drink is high-quality and fresh, so I would say it’s very worth it.
This is probably my favorite restaurant in Ridgefield right now, if not my favorite Italian in the tri-state area. Run don’t walk to try dinner at Posa.

2021: Returning to the Ridgefield Playhouse for an outdoor event in late May, “Echoes of Sinatra,” we noticed in the program a local restaurant named “Posa” was sponsoring the show and offering a free glass of wine to patrons who attended. We decided to try their Ristorante for something different when attending the playhouse.
There was a guitarist outside playing popular music to customers who wanted to sit on the patio. The maitre d’ greeted us at the door and asked where we’d like to eat and we said indoors having been outside for two hours at the concert. A waitress brought us menus and came back to take our drink orders. I asked what the specials were and she didn’t know so the maitre d’ came back and I liked the one he described as a popular dish. We never had any one server and in total probably had five or six by the time we received our check. This made how much to tip confusing, as we didn’t know how it would be divided.
Breadsticks and rolls were brought to the table. The breadsticks were quite dry and flavorless to me, but my partner said this is how they’re commonly made and served in Italy so he was pleased and ate two or three. I had a roll, though no olive oil or butter came with them. We opted to buy a bottle of Pellegrino along with our two special menu cocktails: “Thyme & Thyme” and “Negroni Sbagliato.” Both had unique flavors and a good pour. A complimentary crocche appetizer was presented – two small fried potato cheese balls, like croquettes or fritters; they’re like arancini but a fraction of the size with potato instead of rice. A savory bite. Well done.
When we read that an Italian restaurant has excellent pizza, in addition to their dinner menu, we order one as an appetizer, have a bite, and bring home the rest. Since they proudly mention their wood burning oven, we chose the “Praiano” white pizza with pancetta and caramelized onions. It was interesting. A lot of blackened char on the crust from the high heat and yet the slices of pancetta were undercooked. Not even a hint of crispiness. Perhaps they pull the pizza out and put the pancetta on last before putting it back in as it was overcooking if cooked from the start. The cheese was plentiful and perfectly melted.
We asked for our two free glasses of wine that came with seeing the show. Nice stemware. Full bodied and tasty cab.
The two main entrées were “Gnocchi al forno” with local farm cheese and a tomato sauce baked in their wood burning oven, and the special “Paccheri Con Astice,” a tube shaped pasta like rigatoni but longer and flatter that is used here to serve with lobster. The gnocchi came in an extremely hot dish and was pleasant to eat. The gnocchi flavors and density were kind of hidden from the bright tomato sauce it’s baked in. My pasta with lobster was superb.
After our dinners, we ordered a cappuccino and one snifter of amaretto to complete the experience. The cappuccino was not that impressive as it was mostly foam and little coffee. The amaretto turned out to cost $15. for a small pour which surprised us since this is something we order often. We mentioned it to the staff picking up our payment and she said she’d tell the bartender but he seemed indifferent hearing our comment. The high price certainly balanced the cost of our two complimentary wines.
Overall, it was a four star meal, the atmosphere is modern, chic, and roomy with a lot of seating areas and high ceilings. The pricing varies depending on what you order but some choices are expensive, and their extensive wine list has some very high priced bottles which are well worth it if it’s in your price range. If you’re in the mood for Italian cuisine, try Posa’s.
