| - Prior to coming to Posta I had a lot of high hopes with the reviews and the menu. Came in on a Saturday night with reservation, was mistakenly brought to 2 different tables that were already seated.. didn't actually get seated until about 20 minutes after our actual reservation time.
When we finally did get seated our server came immediately and took our drink orders. I thought that was a good sign especially since we waited so long already for a table.. little bit after he came and took our appetizer order. Tried their charcutteri board (3 cheese and 3 meats); the board itself was not as nicely presented as other restaurants would present their board. In my opinion it was quite sloppy. The 3 cheese they provided were good and imported from Italy. The meats were not as spectacular but they do go through a cycle of different items for the board each day. The best part of the board was the calabrese spread, spicy and has a good kick to it. Wish the bread sticks were not cold and hard! We had a table of 4 and it only came with 3 bread sticks which was quite disappointing. Also ordered the fried calamari,shrimp, scallop dish. This one was good, in terms of portion size and taste! Was crispy and hot when we got it and was definitely the winner of the night. We also ordered the fried risotto balls and nothing overly special about it, comes in 3 and the taste was very bland! No spice or even salt in the risotto balls which is quite disappointing.
For our mains, we shared the parpedella ragu, pasta was cooked nicely and the meat sauce was delicious! Portion size is on a smaller side but we were full from the apps so it was ok. Also order the gnocchi... super bland and when we got it, it was cold! Portion size for this is also on a smaller side so that was disappointing. Lastly we shared the pizza with sausage and potato and that was the most unflavourful pizza I've ever had! It was cook nicely (crust and pizza it self was thin) but come on where is the taste?!??! Truly disappointing.
Furthermore, we had to wait a while between each course. Our server also punched in the wrong orders for our main so had to wait longer for everyone's dish to arrive which resulted to our other dishes to be cold.. At the end of the night, we noticed our server was not sober and that makes sense why the service wasn't as on point as we wished it was. Definitely would not return.
