Try a few of our smaller items or feast on a selection of pizzas and larger plates. It’s up to you. We believe food is meant to be shared and encourage family style dining as we send dishes out once they are prepared. Conversation comes naturally when people enjoy food together.

Amazing food from locally-sourced ingredients. Chefs Connie and John have created a delicious and exciting menu that keeps me coming back. The bison brisket and the truffle poutine were exceptional. Looking forward to carbonara on Sunday.

It’s my first time at Posto, and I’m impressed by the ambiance, service, and food. We tried the #8 pizza, and it’s easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The arancini was absolutely amazing—far exceeded my expectations! Their cocktails are also fantastic. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu, both pizzas and non-pizzas. Oh, and a bonus: every Sunday, pizzas are 50% off!
