Il Postino Restaurant

Absolutely excellent

Four of us had dinner this week. The caesar sald was as usual first class. Two of us had the 'special' tomato soup with goat chees. It was piping hot and literally bursting with flavour. For my entree I had the 'special' roasted black cod, which was to die for. It was totally fresh and cooked to perfection...just melting in the mouth. We had a bottle of Pinot Grigio that was absolutely excellent. All in all a first class dinner....somewhat pricey but what do you expect for top quality such as this.

Delicious!!!!!

This very cute & quaint restaurant is nestled on this beautiful very inviting little street in Union-ville. Upon arrival you can tell the people that work there love their jobs & are so happy & welcoming. We ordered a bottle of wine & some fresh bread with a balsamic bread dipper on the side came to us immediately. Our entree's were delicious & busting with flavor. The Ravioli melted in our mouths & the chicken was scrumptious! Dessert was absolute heaven & the service perfect! The ambiance in this restaurant was incredible. Both the owner & his wife went around serving with the servers, making sure everyone was well taken care of. We never had to refill our own wine glasses & the music was so relaxing. It had a great energy about it. The owners shook each & every guests hands as they left & thanked them for their business. I can definitely see why this place is a such a success. Perfect for any occasion! We will definitely go back!

Way too expensive for what you get!!!

The food was definitely not worth the price. The portions are way too small and the food was average. I've eaten at many nice restaurants and this one just didn't measure up for the prices they were charging. Something needs to be done about it. When you're paying those kind of prices you expect a good meal. My ravioli dish which I paid $27 was more of an appetizer size. It was hard and didn't have much taste to it. My guest really didn't appreciate the meal either. I do have to say that the desserts were good and our waitress was very nice but the service was very slow. It took forever for the food to come and the restaurant wasn't even that busy. Now I understand why after reading all the reviews... which I should have done before coming to this restaurant. Very disappointed and I would definitely not come back here.

Good Food, Good Service

Background: We were a group of six out for my birthday on a Sunday night. I had made reservations three days in advance. Arrival/Greeting: The host was exceptionally pleasant and genuine when I arrived. He offered me the choice to sit inside or outside on the patio. Since it was such nice weather, I chose outside but the host said that if I wanted to move inside once the rest of my group arrived, he would have no problem accommodating me. Apps: We all ordered the bruschetta which was very crispy and generously doused in EVO with ripe tomatoes. I ordered the mussels in white wine sauce which was quite tasty and the sauce was perfect for dipping the complimentary bread into. I tasted the antipasto platter which had well seasoned grilled veggies and nice thin prosciutto. Mains: The Chilean sea bass was buttery and had a great crispy skin...I would definitely have this again. I tasted my husband’s tenderloin which was quite good too but he complained to the waitress it was 'medium well' instead of 'medium'. She agreed and offered to get another one but since he didn't want to have to wait, he didn't take her up on the offer. Dessert: I had a wonderful crème brulee with a candle on top. Price: Everything was on the pricey side but the food was good. A small amount was taken off the bill for my husband’s steak that wasn’t cooked properly. Service: The waitress was attentive and she took good care of us that night. Ambiance: The weather was gorgeous, the patio was full and the street was buzzing with a steady flow of people. This strip in Unionville is quite nice in the summer and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to someone else.

Unfortunately, we did not get the table we had reserved. My partner had gone in during the week to make the reservation and they noted our table request but it was occupied when we got there. The food was just OK and we found the owner's wife to be a bit abrupt. The wine list was expensive. We couldn't get over that they served fusili with beef tenderloin as one of their specials. Fusili comes in a box. We can make that at home. We certainly didn't feel like we were valued customers. We won't go back
