IL Posto - Toronto

The entrance to the restaurant from Avenue St through the arcade to the patio offers a peaceful escape to a world of well-prepared food. I dined there twice during a group visit and the experience was excellent both during busy and quiet times (even when it briefly rained!). Our server, Pedro, initially seemed aloof but was actually very smooth and attentive. He provided excellent recommendations for wine and was accommodating to diners with food allergies.

We went to dine for a quiet romantic evening and were surprised by the waiter's hard shoes clip-clopping around the hardwood floors all evening - very noisy.Unfortunately the food experience was not up to expectations either, with a very acidic dressing on the roast beets and goats cheese that over-powered everything.. Main course was ho-hum but the cheesecake desert was fantastic. We then had to wait several minutes after the table was cleared and eventually had to ask for the bill. Not a great evening.

We were a group of six. All ordered different entrees and my friends said they enjoyed it. The gnocchi was to die for and disappointed the caprese salad was with bocconcini cheese. Ambiance is lively and the server was very accommodating with our requests even though the food took a while to arrive.The owner was very attentive, personal and charming. The parking was a headache because of construction that made us 15 minutes late.Keep up the good work.

This hidden little gem in the Yorkville area is a quaint, romantic little restaurant that offers amazing food and great service. Not one item that we had from the appetizer to the desert to the great wine disappointed. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant.

A group of 20 went for a business dinner and had a nice evening. We thought we had a private dining room but it ended up being two separate tables, one of which was in a sectioned off yet open area of the restaurant. Not the best set up for a team dinner but other than that the food and the service was great. I would recommend this restaurant for a smaller group as again, the food and service were very good. We had a set menu and there were enough options that everyone came away happy with their meal.
