I ate here not to long ago with my family. The service (from our waiter) was incredible as well as the food! We went to order a bottle of wine and were told by the owner that they ran out of the bottle we wanted. The owner then recommded another bottle which we agreed to try. when the bill came we then found out it was a $100 bottle of wine. the original one we wanted was a $40 bottle of wine. Yes, we should have asked the price but when you are being recomended a bottle of wine in place of another you would think that you are being recommended one that is a comparable price! We felt like we were swindled and this put a bad taste in our mouth. it was never once hinted that this would be a pricier wine. Un ethical sales!!

Did was excellent, staff was friendly and accommodating and the owner was charming.

Great pasta and very nice staff. One of our favorite restaurants in Norwalk.

Menu speaks for itself. You can t go wrong with specialty Pizza s! The atmosphere is fun and light! Go to happy hour the bartenders are generous

Visited on a weeknight, and the place had a great atmosphere. Good cocktails, great bolognese and will definitely visit again.

Charming little Italian restaurant. A little pricy but the portions are a good size. We shared the chicken parmesan and it was absolutely delicious.

very good food, we had a very nice time in that place we will definitely go back

Walking by this restaurant seemed to have a great vibe and cool atmosphere, it was probably one our favorite places by time we left. The food was absolutely amazing. Also we learned they have great deals like 50% wine night. And pre fixed dinner menus you just can t turn down. We loved it. The owner stopped by to check on us, we had a minute to speak with her. She was so personable and awesome to talk to. We laughed and talked about her restaurant. You can tell she puts her best into her business and it shows. We will 100% be regulars at this restaurant!!!

The only reason I haven t given this place a five star rating is because I haven t eaten all the entree s as of yet. What I did have so far was off the hook 5 plus stars. The white pizza with pesto make sure the crust is well done is to die for..absolutely amazing the only modification is I left out the gorgonzola which I think may over power it. The pork chop scarp out of this world juicy succulent full of flavor amazing ! And the Italian ricotta cheesecake is a must and the best rendition I have ever eaten.. being a former restaurant owner I will be going back to this place to try everything on the menu!! At which time I am sure to give it a five star rating

Great food. The menu offers perfect taste bud seduction. Choose and you will be rewarded with very fine cooking. The portions are more than you can eat size...until you start eating and enjoy it so much that before you know it s all gone delicious.

The cheese cake is made daily by owner partner Rebecca. And top it off with owner partner Ralph s Limoncello.

Truly a rewarding dinner. Sit in the back for romance or at the bar for pleasant banter.

Tell them Chris sent you said I d buy you a beer. Ralph will put it on my tab.

Enjoy. Remembering safety first...

Professional very good service attitude toward you is a plus, with no care of you or your pocketbook they are there for the customer.
Great food great service! Other places around you should take notice.....!

I can't say anything negative about my experience here. The food was fine, the service was too. The prices (relative to what we were served) were very fair. Yet, there was something missing and I can't quite put my finger on it.
A certain class or polish that was missing made my experience here 4 stars and not 5. I hate to sound elitist or snobby, but the difference between a 4 and 5 star experience is subtle and Il Posto is just not a 5 star restaurant. If you're in the area and are looking for decent Italian food, you'll probably be perfectly happy here. If you're looking for something really special. . . perhaps not!

Great food, sidewalk dining, owner friendly and personable

Great pizza & Buffalo app! Definitely will be back.

Awesome! Best food in Fairfield County! You won't be disappointed. The food and atmosphere is the same caliber (or better) as Rao's or Il Mulino.

Absolute best place to get great drinks and have a delicious meal with a friendly professional staff! The bartender Ace accommodated me and my family and recommend the chicken franchise which is now my favorite!

Surprisingly good food and wonderful service at this restaurant. Meticulously designed and bright space. We enjoyed both the food and great wine.
We look forward to going again.

Food is absolutely stunning. Every dish leaves you wanting more. Its mouth watering. Truly authentic quality ingredients. The pasta dishes were right on. The pizza is so glorious it makes happy every bite. I love coming here. Great upscale Italian food Great Prices. The Service is outstanding. Wonderful people.

Way better than expected! From the excellent service to the delicious food - hands down 5 stars. The owner Rebecca was extremely welcoming and attentive to her customers. The food and ambiance were incredible. Can't wait to go back and try new dishes!

Awful experience this evening. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! 1st time dining in this establishment, we had very high expectations. We were seated and once the waiter arrived he threw the menu s on the table, he did not greet us, we felt More

Food was absolutely incredible!!!! Had the meat lovers pizza and the rigatoni bolognese ... so so so good. Rebecca and her husband own and operate the place and you can tell they really care a lot about the food they serve. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Friendly staff, reasonable menu choices and timely service. Note that we went on a day and time that it was pretty slow/empty. Definitely more expensive than your average South Norwalk restaurant. There are in my opinion, places with lower prices in the area, that have similar dishes.

Patrik was our bartender, he was really good, very attentive, food was delicious

Excellent Italian food and service! Will definitely be back!

We love this restaurant. Absolutely best food on Washington street hands down!! Me and my business colleagues dine at IL Posto every Tuesday. You will not be disappointed.

This was our first visit on a warm Sat night in November. We came for 6 pm reservations and were sat right away. Gave our drink order pretty quickly but it did take 20 mins for server to return after drinks to take appetizers and dinner order. So apps were put in at 6:20 (3 meatballs) and we had to ask 2 times for them to be checked on and they finally came at at 7:05 (45 mins after putting in our order)--- the server apologized and offered them to us for free but never said why things were so behind. We also found it strange that our bread and olive oil came out 45 mins after being sat as well when that usually comes out right away.

Do to the crazy wait with appetizers we were nervous about our dinner order but our server claimed our dinner would not take as long as the appetizer and would come out shortly after so we stayed. Our meal came out 20 mins after our appetizers (not terrible but server made it seem like it would be quicker). The food was good.

During our time we heard other people at two diff tables apologized too and offered free dessert or drinks so something was obviously behind or just poor management.

So we basically asked for a box and the check when our meal was served to make sure we wouldn't wait any longer at the end and like said, the appetizers and one round of drinks were removed. The food was good but I would not come back based on the waiting times experience.

Go there and check for yourself!! Excellent service, always warm and gracious. I love the food: delicious appetizers, salads are so crisp and fresh; entrees are superb;-) Il Posto is my favorite favorite SoNo restaurant.

The food was delicious as well as the Italian mule cocktails. When the Owner greeted us at the door and we told her it was our first time dining there, she said "everyone likes the food more than they like me". WELL she was right on! She was seated at the bar with some friends talking very loudly not to mention dropping F bombs just about every other work. SO VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I honestly couldn't wait to leave. Made for a very bad Saturday date night out. I won't go back! PS- And who ever heard of an Italian restaurant that doesn't serve bread....
If you want to succeed, tone it down and get some bread becuae your food is really good.

Thank you for an awesome meal, service was 5star! Rebecca is an awesome host. Highly recommended!

This is my favorite local restaurant. The food is to die for, probably the best in the area and absolutely homemade, comes out piping hot, to perfection. I ve never ordered something I didn t like. It s a family owned restaurant and Ralph and Rebecca treat you like family. They care about the quality of food and drinks they serve and it shows. Plus, Rebecca is a blast and will instantly become your friend if you sit down at the bar and talk to her. I m a proud local regular now!

Great ambience, delicious food, professional and friendly service.

The hole restaurant was filled with nats.
Seven of us went out to dinner and we a all
Spent the hole dinner which was inside swatting
These bugs. They were everywhere it was a horrible experience. These kind of bugs come from stagnant water not from outside.

We had a fabulous meal. You could tell the food was expertly prepared. All the various sauces with the pasta were light and delicious. Server was extremely nice as was the owner. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food and outstanding service. Group of 40 and they did an exceptional job of preparing and serving. Always there with whatever was needed and the food was done very well! Book your event here!!!

Il Posto is a hidden gem on Restaurant Row in Sono. Great NY vibe, spotless, delicious food, outstanding service and accommodating owners.

Had a great time at the bar with the owner and frankie. Good food and drinks. #toospicey #tearyeyed #vanderpumprules

WOW, where do I start here?!!? Just go. That's all I have to say. So yummy and cocktails were likewise on point!

Food and service was amazing, the owner Rebecca was so nice and friendly, my friend had the chicken park and i had chicken scarpelio, wine was amazing definitely coming back again.

Outstanding food. Excellent service. Great ambiance. Under new ownership so definitely a more customer-centric vibe. My new go-to spot in SoNo.

Service was okay. Didn t get a waiter until requested for one. Became the forgotten table. Thankfully our meal was delicious and Rudy, the busser, was extremely attentive to our service. Wish he had been the waiter. Recommend take out since the dining experience wasn t the best.

Newly opened in the old location of Strata 18...renovated space with a more modern design. We've been a few times already and the food is excellent...the chicken parm, pork chop, roasted chicken, and several pasta dishes. Two big TVs at the bar perfect for dining and watching sports. Worth a try.
