| - I have been reading about Posto for months and due to circumstances beyond my control I have had to cancel two reservations. I was finally able to keep one this week and I met my friend Ro for lunch. I was a bit disappointed because they have changed the menu recently, eliminating two of the three dishes that I wanted to try, but there were still several that sounded delicious.
We decided to start with the small antipasti board which had duck prosciutto, salumi , swordfish bresaola, gorgonzola, burrata and other things that I can't remember. Since cheese is my desert island food (you know... What is the one food you would take to a desert island?), clearly I loved it. Ro also loved it and at the end of the meal said that the board was her favourite part of the meal.
For our entrees we shared the clam dish with garlic, pancetta, leeks and garlic crumbs and the pizza with spinach, chanterelles, and shallots. The clams were delicious! We asked for some bread to sop up the juices from the clam dish and we ate every last bit..... So good! The pizza crust was thin and crunchy but still chewy in the middle. They added truffle at the end and I am so glad that they did. It was rich and had so many different flavours that complimented each other so perfectly.
Not an inexpensive lunch but delicious and totally worth it. I will definitely go back and am eager to try some other things.
