Consistency is the word to use with Il Solito Posto. Consistently fresh and flavoursome food, exceptional service and a price point that is adequate for both personal and corporate wallets. This is my go-to restaurant when I have visiting executives, and I am always applauded for the choice. In a world where post COVID service can be sadly lacking in many restaurants, Il Solito keeps raising the bar. Cannot fault the service or food. Thank you, team!
