| - I've been to Posto several times and this place never disappoints! I usually get pizza and 1 is enough to feed 2 people. If you can't resist the amazing flavours then go ahead with 1 each, but be warned, your future self will curse your life if you finish that whole pie alone! (Not because of the taste of course, just based purely on volume.) But hey, that's future you's problem, am I right? ;p
The last time I was at Posto (for Sled Island music festival 2016) I had their festival feature:
A pizza w/ roasted red pepper pesto, Alberta lamb merguez sausage, goat feta and topped with fresh arugula. Yum!!
(Their blog has a nicely lit photo of it)
I love this pizza very much! The sausage was my favourite part. It wasn't dry, you can taste the lamb, and it's packed with flavour. Whatever spices they put in that sausage worked so well with the lamb; complementing the flavour without overpowering or masking it. My date really loved the goat feta, it's a soft cheese sprinkled over the pizza with the fresh arugula. There might also be some baked on the pizza but I'm not sure about that. Either way it was delicious!
The crust was spot on. It was thin but not super thin, stayed crunchy on the bottom, and not soggy or droopy at the tip of each slice. It has good flavour and just the right amount of chew (for me anyway.)
If you're still hungry after the pizza, get the $6 Happy Ending dessert. It's several individual desserts all on their own beautiful little plate. That's about the price of 2-3 macarons at any fine bakery for 6-8 individual amazing little treats of equal quality at Posto!
Alright, we all know nothing's ever perfect so even though I'm giving this place a 5 star rating here are the lows of my last visit:
I do NOT recommend the Grana Frico Chips to start. They cost $8, you only get a few, and more importantly, they aren't as good as any old cheese cracker/chip! That includes Doritos and Cheetos. Poor comparisons maybe since both Doritos and Cheetos are probably more artificial addictive drug than real food, but for the price of 2 bags of either, the cheese chips at Posto fall short! :(
Save that $8 and put it towards their antipasto board or meatballs, both are for sure worth a try!
Bad news #2
This one is purely subjective (not that everything else I've said is purely objective but you get what I mean.) For all the cocktail lovers out there: feel free to skip the Old Fashioned at Posto! It just didn't agree with me. I've tried many, many versions of this classic cocktail before (home made and in restaurants/bars) but something about this just doesn't jive with me. My date also felt this way and the Old Fashioned is his favourite cocktail!
I did LOVE the 2nd cocktail on their list though: Eau Claire gin, elderflower water, mint, lemon, lime, ginger and bitters. My perfect mojito! Yes, gin instead of rum! *shock* ;)
In summary:
I love this place! Any pizza is a good choice, it's enough food for 2, and in case you have room at the end order the Happy Endings dessert! If you want starters I recommend the antipasto board or the meatballs.
Enjoy a drink with dinner, great wines of course but also some nice cocktails (maybe skip the Old Fashioned though.) The staff is warm and friendly, service is great, this is a staple favourite of mine! Enjoy!
