Tucked away in the heart of Napa, this quaint Italian restaurant offers an experience you won't find in the Thomas Keller portfolio. With the charm and intimacy of a small, locally loved spot, it delivers what feels like truly homemade Italian food—simple, authentic, and full of flavor. The portion sizes are just right, and the dishes taste like they came straight from a kitchen in Italy. From the pasta to the sauces, every bite feels lovingly prepared. The service matched the food—warm, attentive, and unpretentious—reminiscent of what you'd expect from a family-owned establishment. This restaurant is a refreshing departure from the big-name, corporate-run spots Napa is known for. It's a true hidden gem, and I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to enjoy a more personal, authentic Italian dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious. Italian with a gentle spice, making a very Californian blend. The restaurant itself was clean and immersed us in another time. Vintage posters, cute seating, all very home italian restaurant. Amazing. Our server Taylor was so sweet and helpful. Would go back 100/10!!

Absolutely awesome! From the hostess to the chefs to our Server Ivan - everyone was so friendly. The food!! Omg!! So good! We had bruschetta, lobster bisque, Caesar salad, chicken Marsala, lasagna. Great portions (we have dinner for tonight!), so delicious! Honestly no issues! Then of course although we were full we ordered a fresh made tiramisu! Damn! We took a few bites and now we have dessert for tonight too!! Make a reso for sure! Run do not walk to this wonderful restaurant!!

Came here with a friend for an early dinner since it's been a while since I had last dined here. The service was great like always. My friend and I shared and started the verdue miste salad which was delicious & refreshing, we also had some complimentary bread sided with some delicious burata. We then shared the grilled ribeye as our main entree, sided with some mashed potatoes & broccolini, everything prepared amazingly. Then to end off the night we finished with what I believe to be one of the best tiramisu in the valley.

Always great food and great service. I loved the new olive oil martini and love that the ribeye bistecca is back in the menu.

The verdure misto salad was huge and excellent, with walnuts, apples, and cheese, plus beautiful greens. The rigatoni with meatballs and the pizza were both hits.

Lovely dinner in Napa. Great food, friendly and attentive service, broad range of choices and a very happy vibe at Il Posto. A can't miss place in Napa.

One of our go to restaurants when we are in Napa. We were seated immediately with quick attentive service. I enjoyed the orchiette with cauliflower and red cabbage. A very unique delicious dish. My husband rarely spoke as he consumed his eggplant parmigiana. Unfortunately there was no room for dessert

I had the Petrale Sole with mashed potatoes and spinach which was absolutely delicious. My friend had the lamb shank with mushroom risotto which was perfectly cooked and also delicious (I had a taste). The wait staff was very attentive, but not overly. I can't wait to go back.
