Il Posto

Was looking for a great Italian restaurant to go to on a Tuesday night, so we decided to check out Il Posto on Avenue U. We were immediately greeted by the bartender Mike when we sat down for a drink. He was so personable, funny and not to mention makes a mean Cosmopolitan. By far the best I've had yet. A bartenders personality can really make or break how much fun it is to be at a bar and Mike lived up to that. When it came time to eat, the food did not disappoint. My veal marsala was delicious and very tender and the sirloin steak was like butter. We will definitely be back on a Tuesday night.

One of my favorite nyc hidden gems!! Love the filet mignon risotto! Highly recommend!

I love this restaurant. It's so close to my house which is the biggest plus. And I enjoy the food from this place. They have a lot of good appetizers and my favorite thing on the menu. Is there a lemon sorbet dessert. It's so delicious and I definitely recommend it to anyone who's going there. and this restaurant has changed a lot from the past, I remember going in there and it was really dark and dreary and now it's like bright and open and it's a really nice vibe. I love the change and I love the staff there too so upbeat and fun. I really recommend this place. It's really nice. And if you go earlier in the day and not during dinner time it's quiet but if you go during dinner time it's always like a fun and festive mood but not too loud, which I really like.

We visited on a Sunday night and the restaurant was not crowded so we were seated right away. There was music playing and it was loud but I could still talk to my husband. Food 3/5I ordered the chicken parm with a side of pasta in tomato sauce. The parm was good but the sauce for the pasta was bland and watery. My husband had the penne a la vodka which was tasty but with a side of spinach which lacked flavor as well. Unfortunately the food was also overpriced. Service 3/5The waiter was polite and our food came out in a timely manner. Nothing special here. Unfortunately I would not be recommend this restaurant.

This Italian hideaway is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Canarsie. I've lived in the area for years, heard about Il Posto but could never find it. Boy am I glad I did!!Ambiance: Very cool old Italian feel to it. Intimate feel without a neighboring table being practically on your back. Beautiful interior.Food: Classic Italian fare that tastes like a few Italian grandmas are in the kitchen. Entertainment: If nothing else sells you on this place, the live entertainment on various nights should. Nowhere else in Brooklyn can you get dinner and Broadway level shows at the price of a delicious meal. One caveat, when they have live shows the place is usually packed and service can be a little slow for something as simple as a refill on coffee. But it's worth it!

Great service but food was lacking!!! One of my fave cuisines and i was excited hoping that I found a local dinner spot but not

If old school Italian restaurants deep in the heart of Brooklyn is what you are looking for, look no further, you have arrived at Il Posto! Old world charm, incredible food and service like you are part of their family. A fantastic menu that includes all the favorites. The shrimp was perfect along with the pasta and pork chops. Incredible desserts and live entertainment on the weekends. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant!

Having a wonderful dinner here tonight with a friend. The Nino's special, chicken, veal and filet mignon is fabulous. The staff are attentive and extremely friendly. The musical duo playing tonight is having the dinner crowd on their feet dancing. My first time here but definitely won't be my last. How have I never been here before ?

went last night with a group of friends bill just under a thousand dollar!, next thing the waiter comes with a different check with a different amount over a thousand dollars saying we owe him more money for the tip. When asked for the correct check receipt that was given us they said there was no other check, thankfully several of us saw the check and knew what it looked like. After looking around it appeared. So if you go we a large number of people make sure you take a picture of the check and verify with others they tried to pull a shady thing to get more tip money from us. At the end the waiter did apologize but probably won't go back again for dinner.

Great food and service. Weekends music is very good. Try it once and you'll go back again
