Our experience here was amazing. The homemade ricotta was the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was unlike another establishment in Canandaigua. Patrick made an awesome espresso martini and dessert was magnificent. We will definitely be back.

Delicious food and great service! My favorite dish was the Carbonara with bucatini pasta. It was sooo good. I could have eaten that whole plate of pasta by myself, but it was also good to share with my dinner partner. She ordered the Steak and Fries. The dish came with two separate pieces of steak, which were perfect for us to share. We ordered the steak medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. The steak was tender and juicy, but not bloody. The side of Rapini, the Braised Octopus, and my Lavender Citrus mocktail were also delicious and rounded out the meal well. I really don't think you can go wrong with anything you order here. Highly recommend!

Great food, outstanding service for this quaint little thirtyish seat bistro. The grilled octopus and grilled bread are a can’t miss. My son and I both had the Bolognese and were duly impressed by the care and perfect perfection put in by the chef. Highly recommended!
We tried this restaurant for the first time with another couple. We all had great meals...Chicken Milanese, Steak & Fries, Gnocchi. Focaccia Bread was delicious. I thought the prices were on the high side considering the portion size and being a la carte. The bartenders...KayLee and Peter were delightful and very sociable. Sara our server was friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a try.

An exceptional experience. The fresh in house ricotta with roasted garlic and grilled crusty bread is out of this world. I had gnocchi in a white wine ragu with braised beef. It was excellent. The chef is also making what is arguably the best real carbonara in the ROC. Portion size and quality is on point for the price. Drinks are well poured, they have a large wine list, and their by the glass offerings are varied and well priced. This is a beautiful little place making top notch food the right way. Go now.

Went there for dinner prior to going to a local concert. Everything was booked up, but they were able to fit us in at the bar. The bartender was our server and she did a wonderful job. I ordered the gnocchi and thought they were wonderful. If you’ve had gnocchi you know the key is how long they’re cooked and these were perfect. Also did the beet salad as an appetizer which was terrific. Would give them an unequivocal thumbs up and highly recommend.

Still talking about the meal we had there it was fabulous 👌
First visit here last night with my wife. I'm pretty picky about my Italian food and everything here was excellent. Had a 7pm reservation and by the middle of dinner (Saturday night), all ten tables plus most bar seats were full. It's an intimate place and I enjoyed the atmosphere and energy from a full house. We started with a reasonably-priced ($38) bottle of chianti and two appetizers: three meatballs and polenta were delicious; the burrata was an unusual preparation, as it was in the middle of a bed of greens. The balsamic-soaked croutons were a nice touch. We had the gorgonzola pasta (with a pile of crispy prosciutto on top) and the Bolognese, loaded with meat. Both were excellent and the portions were big enough that they'll be dinner again tonight. No room for dessert. We'll definitely be coming back!

Party of six for dinner. First of all our waitress Kaylee, was the best. Thank you!! Appetizers were the octopus for two of us, focaccia, French fries, panzanella. The octopus was decent but I've had it better prepared. The focaccia was very good. The panzanella was ok. Our party wouldn't order it again. The fries were excellent. For the entrees three of us ordered the vodka sauce gnocchi with chicken. The sauce was good, again I've had better and the chicken was excellent with a little kick. Gnocchi isn't for me apparently so your MMV. The smash burger was very good. The drinks were absolutely excellent, one being the espresso martini. Perfect. I ordered the tiramisu for dessert. It wasn't impressive. Overall it was a great time, service was top notch. I'll be back to try other things on the menu!

Traveling from southwestern Michigan to New York State for the All New York Shop Hop, a small group of quilting friends were looking for a place to have dinner on Mother’s Day after traveling 8 hours. After an hour of searching for a place that was open and would let us in even without a reservation, it was II Posto Bistro! The staff were amazing, customer service top notch, and the food was fresh and delicious! Thank you for wonderful experience!!

We would highly recommend dining at IL Posto and look forward to returning their ourselves. Everything from the refreshing cranberry lemoncello cocktail to the delectable chocolate caramel dessert and everything in between, was fresh and delicious! The staff was very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was quaint and cozy!
