Alright, I'll try and make this one short and sweet and follow the old expression "If you don't have anything nice to say..." because I really did like parts of Il Posto...
Let me start by saying that the staff was incredible! About 20 or so of us Yelpers gathered yesterday for a Happy Hour organized by the fantastic Christina P and the staffers were very pleased to oblige.
Like Bacon B said before me, I'm always nervous about being a part of a large party because it is practically inevitable that they are going to screw up at least some of our orders, and it is guaranteed that mine will always be one of them. That said this was sooo not the case here. I was shocked! We sat outside and were all served at our leisure by 1 bartender who I from here on out will refer to as Superman, because he obviously had some sort of magical powers to serve all 20 of us individually, simultaneously, and screwed up no one's orders mind you...
I'll continue to touch on the good. The patio was great. Very spacious area with a fire pit in the middle which added some lovely ambiance to the evening, and hey, who doesn't look better by firelight??
Now on to the less than good...
The Happy Hour specials were okay, to be honest I'm not thrilled by $1 off of things, I think it's kind of weak. However, many of Il Posto's drink prices were already fairly low, so the $1 off could sway some.
First of all, I will say that their fresh bread and pesto dip which was free mind you was delicious. The pizza though, not so much...Let me preface this by saying that I am from NYC and I take my pizza very seriously...it is a bit of an art for me
I don't want to say too much because I do want to go back and try some different things because the rest of the experience was lovely, but no, unfortunately, I did not enjoy my pizza. It was undercooked, the dough was unimpressive, and I had to use a knife and fork because it was so soggy.
All in all I had a nice time at Il Posto, mainly because of the company, but I would be willing to go back and give it another shot.
