    Tried out this lovely Italian restaurant located in Unionville. We sat on the patio during dinner time which was so lovely with all the lights and flowers. We tried out a few of their dishes including their calamari, rigatoni vodka, and their prime striploin. They also offer complimentary bread. My favourite dishes were their calamari and rigatoni. Calamari was crispy, light, and the sauce complemented well. The rigatoni sauce was very delicious but the pasta was a tiny bit undercooked. The striploin was just okay for me, I found it to be over seasoned and too salty for my liking. Service is good. Would come back!

    Beef Sirloin Pasta

    Il Postino is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the city and, in my opinion, much better than many of the overhyped downtown spots. The interior is cozy and intimate with its dim lighting, though the tables are a little close together. I personally prefer the patio more since the fairy lights make it feel more romantic and make it perfect for a date night. Service was attentive, with our server checking in often to make sure drinks were topped up and that we were enjoying everything. We started with the Mushroom Truffle Pizza, which was thin, flavorful, and earthy. For mains, we shared three pastas, which were the Rigatoni Vodka (a must-order), the Seafood Linguine, and the daily special Beef Sirloin Pasta with peppercorn sauce. The Rigatoni Vodka was delicious as always, though cooked slightly more al dente than I prefer. The Seafood Linguine had great balance, with the shrimp and mussels adding a nice briny flavor and a touch of umami. The standout was the Sirloin Pasta, the peppercorn sauce was rich, savory, and so good that I think it deserves a permanent spot on the menu. For drinks, we had an off-menu Espresso Martini, a Hugo Spritz, and the House Sangria with white wine. The sangria was the clear winner as it was refreshing, citrusy, and almost candy-like! We loved it so much we ordered two more rounds. Overall, Il Postino delivers excellent food and is a Markham gem thats perfect for celebrating special occasions!

    This is my third time here. First two times I completely forgot to write a review but I just remember ordering the usual caprese salad and a pasta. Definitely cannot come here and expect big portions because it's more of a high end Italian restaurant. They have quite a lot of seats including upstairs but it's best to make a reservation to ensure availability. The pastas are always a hit. This time we ordered practically the entire menu including the specials as well. Our bill was just under 1k. I didn't even get the chance to take all the pics as my family likes to eat the food as soon as it hits the table. I enjoyed everything including the octopus, but the only miss, in my opinion, were the pizzas. We ordered 4 pizzas, the crust was very hard, not very kind to the gums. Best pizza taste though would have to be the mushroom with caramelized onions - that I would order again next time I come here.

    Tagliatelle Ragu - 9/10

    I came to meet a girlfriend for lunch, this was my first time here as she's been here several times. We came here around 12:30 and it was getting quite busy on the patio. Service was great from start to finish. My friend got her go to, the orchiette sausuge and rapini - finished the whole plate! While I got the tagliatelle ragu and finished majority of it and brought the rest home, it was a large portion! We finished off with a homemade tiramisu which was really good as well. One thing I wish they did was offer to get us another drink once we were done.

    Had a lovely brunch here on a weekend. Great Italian food for a pretty good price. We shared a pizza and pasta, and both were delicious. I really liked my rose pasta, as the portion was good and the sauce was perfect. A simple dish but very well made. Great service and relaxed cosy ambience.

    Vodka Pastas

    Went to dinner with friends here. Outside is super cute, inside seems a lot older and rundown. We ended up going to the upstairs area where they had more tables. The inside was not super aesthetic and the walls were yellow. Service was good. A bit slow in terms of getting the bill but other than that everyone was very nice! Food: - Vodka Pasta: 3.5/5 stars. I got grilled chicken in my pasta for some protein however a grilled chicken breast add on was $14!!! It was so expensive. They also mixed it in my pasta, which was fine, however it seems as if it watered down my vodka sauce. My friend's vodka pasta without the chicken looked amazing and not watered down at all. Little bit disappointing. - Calamari: 3.8/5 stars. It tasted good! A little fishy though and I felt like there was more breading than squid itself. - Bread: 4.5/5 stars. The free bread was amazing! There's rosemary and olive oil on it and it is delicious. They even gave us a free second loaf after we finished the first one that I brought home. Overall, could be a good place for you to try out but maybe order other things on the menu. They had some specials going on so might be worth to give those a try!

    I heard a good reputation about this restaurant and first time visiting here. My friend took me out for my birthday, so honestly whichever food would feel like delicious as I was already happy there haha. I liked their ambiance that is rusty cozy European style decoration. Their staff were very responsive and friendly! We ordered truffle pizza and seafood pasta. Both were delicious. Price was a bit high. But that's understandable considering the location is in main Unionville.

    We decided to come here for dinner because my other half & kids wanted Italian food. They do have a private parking lot in the back, which is great, and the service was alright. We ordered a kid's spaghetti with the meatball appetizer bc they didn't have that as an entree, rigatoni vodka, chicken parmigiana, and I wanted just spaghetti with garlic & oil but all I got was spaghetti drenched in oil with no garlic- it was disappointing. All the food tasted authentic, decent, and price was reasonable. However, since we're from New York, we have had better Italian food, so the rating reflected our expectations.

    So impressed with the quality of food at Il Postino. I went there for lunch not knowing what to expect. The rosé vodka pasta was delicious - I'll be dreaming of it at night. Our truffle mushroom pizza was top notch too. I'll definitely be returning if I'm in the area

    Seafood linguine
    Kelly C.

    Delicious Italian dining experience The bread starter was fresh & delicious--a perfect way to begin the meal. The prosciutto pizza was perfection with its thin, crispy crust & fresh, flavourful toppings, & the seafood linguine featured perfectly cooked pasta with a generous portion of fresh seafood The service was attentive & friendly, with a cozy ambiance making the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine Small parking lot behind the restaurant & definitely make reservations as it can get busy. I saw a few walk-in parties get turned away as the resto was full

    I came here recently with friends for lunch. We were not very hungry, so we just ordered two salads, an appetizer and a pizza for sharing. The service was okay but the food...meh. Every dish was missing something! The chef was lacking some fundamentals in cooking especially flavouring. We were seated on first floor and they also had second floor which had some nice views of the neighborhood. After ordering our food, we were first served with bread soaked in a whole plate of olive oil. Yes, a whole plate of olive oil! So gross! Now the salads. Caesar salad was the most plain salad I've ever eaten. Not much dressing. Not enough cheese. Definitely worse than the one sold at Costco. So was the kale salad. We added chicken for $12! Without the chicken it was so flavorless. The prosciutto and burrata was plain again. The burrata was even more flavorless than the most mild mozzarella cheese! It just tasted like water. The only edible dish might be the pizza. At least it had good amount of topping and cheese. However, it was overcooked and burnt. I would not recommend the food here to anyone.

    Vodka rigatoni

    Ambiance and decor 10/10 Service 10/10 Food could be better... we ordered the vodka rigatoni and the server recommend we have peppers with it because we were vegetarian. Bad idea. The pasta had an overwhelming taste. The bread they gave us when we arrived was really hard, which left us wondering what's the point of giving the free bread if it's inedible?

    Mushroom pizza, rigatoni vodka pasta
    Mary Grace W.

    I've been here multiple times because I somehow always have a craving for their menu! I love the ambience at Il Postino. They have an outdoor area to sit, seating inside as well (although it's a more intimate area for smaller groups). The servers are so friendly and seem so knowledgeable about the food and drink. Prices are reasonable and the portions are of a good size. The complimentary crusty bread with olive oil is amazing. I always get MINIMUM 2 plates at least. This time I had the Mushroom & Truffle Pizza, along with the Rigatoni Vodka pasta. I am a HUGE fan of their pizzas, and I will definitely be coming back to try every single one! If you a mushroom fan like me, your mouth will be watering the time it hits the table. The Rigatoni Vodka pasta has a beautiful sauce, just the right amount of acidity, perfect al dente noodles. Did I mention the complimentary bread? Outstanding. Anyways, who couldn't love some good pizza and pasta? Definitely one of the best places in Markham for Italian. Will be coming back soon!

We initially asked for a table at the back, but were informed there was a reservation coming in, so we were offered a table for two by the door instead. Thankfully, it wasn't too chilly, and since foot traffic was minimal, the door stayed closed for most of our visit. When we arrived, there was only one other table of two enjoying coffee. The space itself is quite small, which isn't what you'd typically expect from an Italian spot. They do have patio seating, but it's not really suitable for this time of year. That said, the service was excellent. We were promptly offered drinks, given menus, and had our order taken within a reasonable timeframe. The server also introduced us to the daily specials, kept our waters topped up, and cleared tables as needed. Our waitress was very friendly, and what appeared to be the manager also stopped by to thank us for coming. For food, we shared the sausage pizza. It's meant to be personal-sized, but we were pretty hungry. The flavors were solid, and the pizza wasn't too heavy. The crust was nicely crispy yet chewy, and the toppings were well balanced, not too much, not too little. We also noticed their pastry display; the apple muffin in particular looked tempting, though we didn't try it this time. Definitely something to come back for. All in all, a pleasant experience and a nice spot to stop by if you're in the area.

Most of the restaurant is quite tight and close, but the bar area is probably the most snug.

Calamari - One of the top calamari batter I've ever had. The batter was fluffy and still crispy, the perfect compliment to a nice chewy calamari. Wished the calamari was a little thicker to give it more of a chew and a bit more seasoned. Fried peppers were a nice touch! would get again. Sofia Mia Pizza - This was an absolutely amazing pizza. Crust was not the best but the toppings stole the show. Normally I don't like goat cheese, but that was balanced by the fruitiness of the fig and the balsamic reduction. The prosciutto brought on some meaty flavours while being balanced by the caramelized onion and arugula. Would come back again for this. Cheese wheel pasta - some mushroom pasta - A bit of a gimmick in my opinion, but it was a fun experience. The head chef comes by and does the final touches of the pasta in the cheese wheel. The pasta itself was a bit lacklustre for me. It lacked flavours compared to a saucier pasta, probably because they wanted the parmigiano cheese more forward. Nice to try, but would not get again.

We've also ordered their limited time festive blood orange and cranberry bellini. It was a tasty punch; just too bad the glitter sank to the bottom, or it would have made a better photo. I was a bit disappointed because I asked specifically which of the Christmas cocktails looked prettier, and was told the glitter makes it really festive. Later in conversation the server said the liquid glitter sinks to the bottom so customers can only see the glitter when the drink is almost finished. So I suppose it was known to the staff. Service was great, server apologized for the long wait for the cocktail, and explained the bartender had to make 20 cocktails for a large party, hence the wait.
