    Great tasting food and the service was attentive we had oysters as a taster which was a great experience. Salmon was fabulous and the filet steak was out of this world. Loved it. The staff were great with the right level of attentiveness and brought all we asked with a smile and some light chat. The restaurant is a little cool if you sit in the corridor on the lower floor.

    Excellent meal again at Pizza Posto. I tried the pizza fritta which was good as a novelty but I think I still prefer the standard pizzas. Service was good but I can't recommend the Posto Lager. I think I'll opt for the Menabrea next time.
