Posticino Ristorante - Toronto

Simply not tasty. Lacked flavour, had to ask for salt. Overall quality for price did not match up.

The appetisers were amazing, and the pasta mouthwatering ???Service was spot on.100% recommend Posticino!

Beautiful restaurant with nice ambiance, great service. Food was decent, we didn’t drinking today but the wine menu is big, great for wine lovers.

I used to go to Posticino with a co-worker, who the staff knew, and I guess that’s why, in the past, I had such a great experience. Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience last night. 4 out of 6 of our guests arrived at the time of our reservation but 2 of our guests got caught up in terrible traffic so we decided to have some appetizers while we waited. First of all, it took at least 20 minutes before the server came to our table. We ordered our drinks and explained that we would like appetizers for the table while we waited for our other guests to arrive. We had to ask three times for our appetizers as we kept seeing tables around us (that arrived after us) getting bread and their appetizers well before we did. Some tables, again that arrived after us, received not only their appetizers but their main course before we had our appetizers. Now, in fairness to the waiter, he was running off his feet so I have no idea how many tables he was responsible for but apparently it was too much for him to handle.There were items on the menu that listed that they came with vegetables (that three of us ordered) and when it finally came to the table the vegetables weren’t with it. When we asked to waiter about it and pointed out that it clearly says on the menu that they come with it, he just said they didn’t. Despite our efforts to point it out to him, with the menu in our hand, he still refused to honour the menu. Also, the price of the Prosecco we ordered was different to what was on the bill.There were many other instances throughout the evening that ruined what was intended to be a lovely evening.As we were leaving, with a person who was on crutches and having a lot of difficulty walking, there was a large group of people just standing at the door holding drinks, blocking the exit, and not one of them moved until we adamantly asked them to give us some room to get out. Why someone in the restaurant wasn’t at the front door, telling them they were blocking the doorway, is beyond comprehension. Your customers shouldn’t be responsible for dealing with this.Sadly, I will not be returning and I will let my co-worker know about my experience as well. You could tell there were a lot of regulars there that received preferential treatment and quite frankly that’s not fair to other customers in the restaurant. While I think it’s appropriate to acknowledge regulars, it shouldn’t come at the expense of others in the restaurant.

Overpriced for what you get: service was less than average, and food didn’t taste great. Bread at the table was stale, calamari were gummy (flavor wasn’t bad), pasta was bland (even had sand in my mushroom spaghetti), and char was just okay. Will not be visiting again.
