This Italian restaurant is a great little spot that was recommended by a local. Its old family Italian recipes and the lasagna and gnocchi were fantastic. We really enjoyed the early dinner with a glass of wine. read more

My friends & I planned to visit Napa for wine tasting. I was in charge of finding the restaurant to dine in Napa & I found Il Posto Trattoria. There were good reviews so I made a reservation for party of 4 at 6 pm. Yesterday my friends & I visited Napa Valley for wine tasting. They are members of some of the wineries. After our 3rd and last wine tasting, we were running late. My friend called the restaurant that we will be late in our reservation and we were obliged at 6:15 pm. We made it and when we entered the Il Posto Trattoria restaurant, we were greeted by the hostess & led us to our table. We noticed the diners were family oriented but had a romantic setting especially for outdoor dining. The weather in Napa was beautiful yesterday. The restaurant had the Italian atmosphere. The server was nice who answered all our questions as first timers. We asked for hot water only for drinks as we had enough of wine for dinner. We ordered Bianca pizza, Bucatini del Pescatore, Tagliatelle & Rigatoni. The menu said all pasta was made fresh in house. We told the server we were eating like a family style. We were given complimentary slices of sourdough bread with olive oil & balsamic vinegar for dipping. The pizza came with thin crust. Then the other orders were served. We tasted the pasta and you could tell it was home made. They were all scrumptious including the pizza but the Bucatini was not hot enough when served. We didn't know how long the plate was waiting to be served but the dish especially the sauce was so good. There was a separate small deep plate with chili. I was told it can be added to the pasta and true. It gave the flavor of deliciously sweet, spicy, and tangy pasta. When we finished, the server asked if we wanted dessert. My friends said it was my birthday. He said he had something for me. He came with a bowl of vanilla iced cream and small biscotti and a small candle including the dessert menu. It was a nice gesture from the server. We all said to the server how delicious the food was. I recommend this restaurant whenever you're in Napa. It's a great Italian restaurant for reasonable price with a cozy atmosphere and nice service. read more

This Resturant by far is the very best. A mini-French Laundry- if you will. Wife and I went there for this year's Valentine's Day Dinner. I had the Filet Mignon, a nice 12 oz., and the scalloped potatoes with a side of baby broccoli spears. Started off with a wonderful Cesar Salad, and desert was a very decadent chocolate cake. We were given a small scoop of lemon sherbet to cleanse our palate. Our waiter was always within a whisper away. Service was excellent to say the least. We had a wonderful window seat. We had a small candle. The decor reminded me of a small Italian town restaurant. We have been back to the restaurant 3 times since. A very great establishment, friendly, great food, great wait staff. This is a small Resturant, however there was a head chef a sous chef, and a third chief in training. Just wonderful. Rack table was cloth, cloth napkins and enough silverware for 6 people. read more

Staff was very sweet and friendly. Food was good, nothing unbelievable that I absolutely must come back for. Cute little place with local, family-style vibes and was reasonably priced for the Napa/sonoma area. read more

I have been going to Il Posto for years. A small Italian restaurant, not very touristy, with consistently good food. Whether you order one of their pizzas, a dish of pasta, or one of their entrees (the eggplant parmigiana is very good), you will enjoy your meal. The calamari appetizer is delicious. Not battered and deep fried, it is served in a mildly spicy tomato sauce. Save a piece of bread to sop up the extra sauce. There is a good wine list, they serve my favorite dessert (Affogato), and the service is always good. Definitely worth a visit. read more

OMG SO GOOOD!!!! Make sure to make a reservation because the wait is a little long. I was about to leave after 30 mins but I'm SO glad we didn't. The food was amazing! The pasta was perfect and the homemade sauces were amazing. It definitely hit the spot!! & espresso martinis... yum!!! Our waiter was so nice and kept us happy. Water glasses were never empty. It felt like a family in there!! We enjoyed it very much and are already planning on going back! Menu: appetizers, pizzas, salads, wines, beers, cocktails, pastas, and desserts read more

Overly Expensive for food that not that tasty Staff was nice and the room was clean Not worth it as there are plenty of other restraunts to choose from... read more

The service was very good and our waiter was very attentive. Nice clean atmosphere but very loud. Our group of seven wanted to have conversation but it was very difficult across the table due to the noise level. My food was hot and my favorite was the garlic bread. The ravioli was bit too al dente for my taste and the salad was not that flavorful. read more

They were kindly able to accommodate us for a last minute walk in around 7 PM! Food was good with lots of options. Arancini made the perfect app, we were able to add another ball to share evenly between the 4 of us. I'm a white sauce pasta fan so the Orecchiette was my go to. First time trying this type of pasta, apparently it from Southern Italy and is named after their shape which resembles a small ear! Definitely worth a try, had more of an eggy flavor but was filling and delicious. Great option for an Italian bites at Napa! read more

I was really disappointed. It was a Friday night, but we still had reservations. Took 15 min to get seated and when we were, we were an afterthought. They found 2 chairs and stuck us outside in the corner.. never got menus or water until our waiter came over 20 minutes later. I was so tired... I just wanted a glass of wine. By the time he finally came over to take our order I was so frustrated I was almost in tears. We will never return. My husband is also black sooooo being that we were in Napa and he was the only person of color in the restaurant, that didn't really sit right with us at all. The quality of the food isn't even worth mentioning because the service was so terrible. That was our first time visiting Napa end our first restaurant experience and disappointment even begin to explain how we felt. read more

Great customer service, old school ambiance, and so-so on the food. When I looked and saw 4 stars, and located in Napa, I thought I couldn't go wrong. Service was great. Unfortunately, the food didn't match. The appetizers fooled me, starting with the "stuffed" olives. The olives are so small, I don't see how you can stuff anything inside. Then, we ordered the Calamari. The portion size was also so small for the price, it looked like the staff took a portion off the plate before serving. The Arancini tasted store bought and warmed up. The Ceasar Salad had no flavor at all. We should've left after appetizers, but decided to stay for dinner because of the rain. We ordered Lasagna and Pesto Gnocchi with shrimp. The Lasagna had no flavor at all, and I was so disappointed I had to send it back. I got a $26 pizza instead. Smh. The gnocchi could've been a lot better. The demographic they cater to is a much older crowd, folks that may not be able to have seasoning in their food. That considered, The service was the only thing good about this visit. read more

We had reservations for Saturday 11:30am. We were there on time and we were the first ones. We chose to sit outdoors. Another table was taken after we sat down. But noone else came even when we left around 12:30ish. Food was pretty good. Service was good and fast. Parking lot is shared with other stores. There's also street parking. What we ordered: Salsiccia pizza- good crust but has no tomato sauce Ravioli with tomato vodka cream sauce Gnocchi with pesto Lasagna read more

Neighborhood gem. Very cozy and quaint restaurant with dim lighting and small sit up bar. Establishment can hold a few large families but I imagine you need to call for a reservation. We called the restaurant to make a reservation yesterday. We were here over the Presidents Weekend and enjoyed the warm old world Italian feel of this establishment. The old world charm and comfort food menu is just perfect when you need to feel cozy and nostalgic. Brenda our waitress is an A+ waitress. Warm friendly and knows the house's best dishes and wines! Great suggestions from appetizer, salad, entrees, to dessert. Great service is not easy to train in team members at restaurants today so bravo to the whole team for rallying together to make every diner patron feel special. If you could cook at home you certainly can but if you want to be a pampered guest of honor you go to your favorite restaurant ... and this neighborhood gem does its part! We will be back. We loved our dishes tonight. 1. Chicken parm 2. Filet of sole 3. Panna cotta 4. Caesar salad We recommend every dish ! Neighborhood gem. read more

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Il Posto this past week. Our server was really friendly and we both enjoyed our entrees. Didn't enjoy the gelato - the texture was very gummy and unpleasant to eat. I was also disappointed that they never mentioned our anniversary. When we made our reservation, they asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. What's the point of asking if you're not going to mention it? read more

Amazing food and excellent service. We love their red sauce. We literally drive hours to come here. It's that good. I highly recommend this place. read more

Randomly ended up here on a Sunday night and had a wonderful dinner!! We were in Napa to go shopping at the Outlets and wanted to grab a bite to eat afterwards. We searched on Yelp and there were a TON of options, especially serving Italian food. My boyfriend really wanted lasagna so we narrowed the search down to restaurants that served that, and while a ton of results popped up claiming they served lasagna, when I'd actually call to ask, almost none of them actually did. This place did! We arrived within an hour before closing and was seated right away. The restaurant was still pretty busy at that time, and they were still accepting people coming in later as well. The service was great -- everyone was friendly, everything came out very quickly, and they were helpful with the leftovers as well. Most importantly, the food was delicious!! I was very curious to try the fried meat stuffed olives, and it definitely did not disappoint!! So crispy and you can taste the olive crunch before getting to the meat in the end. I got a version of the carbonara and it was delicious, and so was my boyfriend's lasagna! Overall, we had a great dinner and so glad we ended up here! Will look forward to our next visit when we're in town again. read more

Solid Italian restaurant! It's a little small (welcome to Napa!) but they use the space as best they can. I had the braised ribs gnocchi and my husband customized a pasta dish to basically make it chicken Alfredo ‍. Servers were attentive and gracious. Food was super good! Really the only reason to give a 4 rather than 5 star review is how tight it was inside for us - could have been our placement? read more

I was staying nearby and I wanted to have a full meal without dining in. So I ordered takeout and I settled with the Manila clams linguine with mushrooms, the burrata with salami, arugula and crostini, and the garlic bread with cheese. I was fully satisfied with my meal and it was ready when I went to pick it up which I should have just walked because it is a very short distance from where I was staying, but I didn't want to carry any items with me on the way back. The linguine was OK, I didn't feel like the noodles had a lot of flavor, but the wine sauce made up for it as well as plenty of clams. I used the garlic bread to soak up the sauce and that was just amazing and the garlic bread was exactly what I imagined --buttery and garlicky. What more can you ask for? The burrata with the crostini was also delicious and if I weren't such a Big back, this would've been the perfect appetizer. The restaurant looks nice and cozy for date night or for families to dine in. The service was friendly and I would definitely return. read more

I do appreciate the level of service provided. I called in to ask if they can accommodate some changes to their pasta dishes to make it a vegetarian friendly dish and was told "You can change anything and choose to sub in any sauces or vegetables available on the menu." They did a fab job accommodating without charging one cent more, because they understood I am not eating the meat that comes with the dish. I really appreciate the hospitality. The food was fabulous! read more

Totally darling place! A smallish place, with a full bar and classic Italian food. Great staff (I believe Ivan was our server?)! Went in on a Wednesday evening without reservations in February, but it was filling up as the night went on. I ordered a Martini, a Caesar salad and the Cacio de Pepe pasta, I decided to go classic! And everything was wonderful. Highly recommend and I look forward to returning! read more

found this little hole in the wall kind of accidentally. A friend of mine recommended a place to eat while we were here visiting and I think he might've misspelled it in his text but we ended up here and it was nice little find. couple things to be aware of. It's very loud inside. I wish there was a little more room outside not quite so close to the parking lot because we probably would've set out there. The acoustics are very very loud and it was hard to have a conversation also very crowded, they definitely pack. The people in our server was fabulous. The food was amazing. I got the raviolis with the shrimp, ricotta and spinach in a pesto cream sauce with arugula and shaved pecorino cheese. Oh my God it was so good. My partner had the meatballs and the meatballs literally melted in my mouth because of course I had to try one. Anyway the food was amazing. The service was amazing. We bet nice couple of couples sitting next to us and had fun talking about the Dodgers win over the Yankee for a second time . Yay! Go Dodgers! Also just a minor detail, but the chairs are super uncomfortable anyway all in all I would say four stars because the food and the service was amazing. Just a couple of atmospheric things that obviously they can't fix except for the chairs anyway I do recommend it. read more

Make sure to do reservations since their dinner hours tend to be busy and loud on weekends. It took a few minutes for us to be seated, but no issue with that. Be sure to order some wine, since you're in the Napa Valley and the waitxrs are more than happy to recommend what they like, especially with the dish you plan to eat. All I can say is that there are quite a few dishes you can share with others, since you may be getting filled with the appetizers already, especially the ones with bread. However, a good thing about the pasta dishes is that they're still just as good for leftovers and you can easily heat them up at home when you're hungry again. Their garlic bread was simple, but really tasty. We also got the bruschetta, which was also good, but a little soggy and the bread absorbed the tomato. I was hoping for a crunch, but it may have been dampened by the tomato. As for the main course, I got the radiatore, which had a mushroom sauce base with red peppers to give a little kick to the dish. Topped the arugula, it presented a little bitterness to the dish, but overall I enjoyed it and would definitely eat it again! Another dish I would recommend is their eggplant parmesan. It's a lot for one person, so I would share that with at least another person and get a pasta dish to go along with it. read more

Loved this place! My friend and I went before a wedding pre-party to fill up on apps and wine. We had such a good time. The wine was great! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was delightful. We ordered bruschetta and arancini.
