| - Posta Port Credit is a new casual Italian restaurant with an upscale feel and a great location on Port Credit Marina. The design is modern yet intimate with several seating options including booths, tables, a private dining room for approx. 30 people, seats at the Pizza and Salumeria bars and a great outdoor patio that is due to open in the spring.
The restaurant features a large marble bar with some of the best cocktails anywhere. The Winter Negroni features chai infused gin, Campari and house made vermouth and comes with a perfect square ice cube consisting of a cinnamon stick and a star anise. The combination is magical. The Love Letter features a perfect blend of house made jasmine strawberry syrup, oloroso sherry and a Bergmot essence sprayed with a perfume atomizer, all served on a kissed envelope coaster with a Posta post card. Unbelievably awesome!
The menu consist of various Antipasti, Insalata, Salumeria, Pasta, Pizza and Dolce selections. During the Friends and Family event we tried the Friturra di Pesce alla Veneziana consisting of fried calamari, shrimp, cuttlefish and zucchini with a tomato maionese. The result is a light breaded casing around fresh, tender fish.
The Pizza bar makes some of the best Neapolitan pizza anywhere in the city. The dough is light and the cheese and toppings used are perfectly balanced. The Marco features Fior di latte, heirloom cherry tomato, radicchio and bottarga. The combination is wonderful.
The pastas are fresh house made and the POSTA Parmigiano Wheel for Two is an experience that is well worth the table side preparation by Mark Brown, the Head Chef. The Agnolotti Aragosto and the Pappardelle Bolognese were cooked perfectly al dente with flavorful sauces.
The staff is attentive, friendly and accommodating. This place has no where to go but up and will soon become the most popular restaurant in Mississauga. Can't wait to visit again and certainly in the spring when the outdoor patio opens. The official opening is January 8th and this place will be busy. I would assume reservations will be highly recommended.
