Another great dinner at IL Posto!First I'd like to say we love the atmosphere very warm vibe. The service was attentive and friendly.We started with the burrata appetizer. Warm and creamy covered with figs on a bed of arugula over a toasted ciabatta slice, it was heavenly. My wife had the chicken pesto sandwich. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, covered with a delicious ricotta cheese on a pesto covered buttery bun she loved it. I had the zuppa de pesceClams, mussels, octopus, shrimp in a delicious tomato broth with tiny pasta pearls. Everything we have had there has been delicious and we always try something new. Looking forward to going back.

Very warm atmosphere. Food was delicious! Very fresh, and accommodating to slight changes I wanted made. I particularly loved the homemade gnocchi, and in house made Ricotta appititizer.

This is our new go-to restaurant in Canandaigua! Chris Ventura and Wendy Loveless have created a cozy, friendly and most importantly - delicious addition to Main Street. I haven't met a sauce that Chris makes that I haven't loved. From starters to deserts we have been delighted by what he's cooking up. Most recently we had the Braised Octopus and Utica Greens to start. The Octopus was perfectly cooked and paired with vinegar potatoes with a sauce that is to die for - multiple layers of texture and flavor. The Utica Greens are beyond. The flavor comes in waves and while it does bring some heat, I love some spice, so it was a win all around. Next we shared an order of my new favorite: Ali Amatriciana - the sauce is fantastic - again, very complex (5 stars for finding Guianciale!) but the house made potato gnocchi is the star. They were the most perfect pillowy potato gnocchi I have ever had. With a side of Rapini we were oh so happy and full! Oh, and on Monday's no corkage fee (being that we went on Jan 1st we brought our favorite bubbles) but I started with a surprisingly (only because I couldn't imagine how all the flavors would come together) Bullet Rye cocktail (a take on an old fashioned I think) that was supper yummy. This review is making me hungry lol But in all seriousness, Welcome to Canandaigua. We are so grateful you're here!

Food was ok, not outstanding. Our dishes at the table were fre diavlo, carbonate and vongole. Pretty good but not exploding with flavor. Would prefer richer flavors with more depth. Quaint restaurant with great service.Vegetarian options: Seafood and marinara based pastas.

We just returned from Italy and were craving good, authentic, Italian food. There were four of us and we ordered four different entrees. Everyone was very happy with their dinners and plan to return!
