Excellent food - completely different taste - lighter and delicious. Service was warm, friendly, jovial and attentive. Both Drew and Bo took good care of us this evening. We had Calamari, Iberico Pork Chop, Veal Marsala, Gnocchi and Ravioli, and each of us had trouble stopping. Wine selections are excellent. Even the Biscotti was soft(er) and delicious. If you wish to savor Italian cuisine with a different taste from “normal”, you ought to give Primo a try.

Used to be a regular at Rosie’s prior to the rebranding of the restaurant. I can say it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I had an app, multiple entrees and dessert. All amazing! Highly recommend.

Very European portions and tastes. Main mean is essentially three courses very purposefully served. Our server asked us our plans post dinner. He very effectively created a cadence that met our departure goal and yet didn’t keep us waiting for any portion of the meal. Well done.

We had a fantastic Saturday date night dinner at Al Posto. The entire experience was wonderful, starting with the eye-catching blue door and lights out front. The decor is gorgeously modern but also feels classic & approachable. The ambiance feels like a lively and “happening” place without feeling stuffy. The service was excellent, from the hostess to the food runners and especially our server, Kevin! The food was delicious. We had an appetizer, split a salad, enjoyed the table side-prepared linguini for two, and split an entree. We split two desserts. Literally every single food item was remarkable! We will definitely recommend Al Posto to our friends and family and we’ll be back as well!
