   Love this place. Service was delightful. We all loved our food, from the roasted cauliflower contorno to the revelatory spaghetti & polpette. Another great night at La Posta!

   We love La Posta. We have never had a bad meal or bad service at this restaurant. I highly recommend this as the best of the best.

   Food was very off point, beans on the trout were seriously undercooked and the lamb was not very tender and also the dish itself was simple and yet it tasted like they were using a day old herb sauce that didn't taste like anything., service was excellent but food was very disappointing for the price we paid, sad

   We experienced excellent quality and authentic Italian flavors. The service consistently exceeds expectations, and our server, Steve, was extremely knowledgeable about the wine. We have always enjoyed an excellent meal paired perfectly with the right wine. We highly recommend La Posta for a casual date night, family night, or dinner with friends.

   I've been eating here for over 15 years and slowly watched prices increase to where I can only afford it once or twice a year. But the food is delicious so I came back. The elimination of serving bread was disappointing, but it really stuck in my craw to be charged $3 for a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. Ridiculous. I won't be back.

   Hello Diana, Thank you for commenting. I am happy to hear you still find the food delicious, and sorry you may not be returning. It is easy to defend the increase in prices at LP: prices for everything have risen the past 15 years, often more than 100%. But above that, during and after the pandemic I realized we couldn’t stay open continuing to be completely unprofitable, and I mean here: losing money every year, me personally subsidizing the restaurant for 14 years. Now our menu prices are higher but more accurately reflect the actual cost for good, local, organic food, and the cost to have employees who can afford decent housing in Santa Cruz and whose families are not on assistance. Thank you for bringing this up. Very best regards, Patrice Ps – come for Neighborhood Night!

   We had a lovely evening at La Posta! The ambience was wonderful - like eating in an Italian neighborhood cafe. In an age of loud loud loud restaurants, the noise level here is perfect - muted but not so quiet that you feel everyone can overhear your conversation. Our waiter was perfect, and the food was fabulous. We'll definitely be back
