We experienced excellent quality and authentic Italian flavors. The service consistently exceeds expectations, and our server, Steve, was extremely knowledgeable about the wine. We have always enjoyed an excellent meal paired perfectly with the right wine. We highly recommend La Posta for a casual date night, family night, or dinner with friends.

A truly memorable experience with a delicious unique menu. The entire staff was top notch. The bolognese and pineapple panna cotta were some of the most flavorful items I can recall ever eating but everything was great. Definitely recommend, especially compared to any other places in the area. And sit at the chef’s counter!
