- AAnneSan Francisco Bay Area •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat accommodation of a large party. Thank you for having us. All the food was delicious and I’m sure you will have our business in the future.More infoLailiPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Santa Cruz•4.7
- CCharlieOrange County •18 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoA very solid/reliable spot. My fries were fantastic. Sounds basic but a well executed french fry served in the right way is remarkably uncommon. My burger could have use a bit more mass on the patty and less on the bun but was overall good. My date had the scallops and she seemed to quite enjoy them. Cocktails here are solidly above average. We sat away from the bar and enjoyed a pleasant ambience; lively but not loud, so that we were able to have a conversation easily. For whatever accidental reason we just hadn't been there in a while. We'll be back.More infoOswaldPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Santa Cruz•4.6
- KkymCalifornia Central Coast •100 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe 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.More infola PostaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Santa Cruz•4.8
- DDavidVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •16 reviews4.0Dined 7 days agoMy friend had the seafood pasta she had the gluten-free pasta which added two dollars to the service. I had the special which was a beef tenderloin tortellini style pasta with a creamy sauce, which was very good. My friend had the seafood pasta, she really enjoyed it. She thought it was an excellent value, and the flavor was very good. I like the overall feel of the restaurant. I like the fact you’re not freezing inside of it which it can be a problem with many restaurants in Santa Cruz. This restaurant was very warm and comfortable and we will definitely be back with friends. More infoOblòPrice: Expensive• Italian• Santa Cruz•4.7
