  Posto is the perfect place for every carb-loving creature. There’s Italian-inspired fare galore to explore, so every trip can be deliciously different. Pick-your-own adventure.As is only right, we started with drinks. Gin gin mule was fresh with a gingery kick. I’m not a huge fan of gin, but the pine taste of the liquor didn’t overpower the bev. It was perfectly proportioned and refreshing. A sip of the red sangria was also refreshing, not too sweet with a tangy hint of pineapple. The crunchy, cheesy bread sticks on the table were a perfect (complimentary) compliment.Let’s ciao down! The rosemary sea salt bread was like a fluffier version of naan. I wanted to jump into a bed of the stuff. The texture was addictive, and the bread studded with salt and fresh sprigs of rosemary was delectable on its own as well as dipped in the housemade chili oil. We also sampled the aranccini, which provided a good portion of crispy rice balls. These were fine on flavor and quite filling, but lacked pizzazz and could have used more sauce. I ended up dipping the bread in the marinara instead.Enter the entrees! We split the octopus insalata, an interesting mix of oh-so-tender octo with canneli beans. Although it was cold, there were no greens, so I’m not sure I would consider this dish a salad. It was heavier than I had anticipated but still had a fresh Mediterranean feel.The braised short rib gnocchi stole the show. Delectable potato clouds mixed marvelously with the saucy beef. The flavors and textures blended in a way that could only be described as right on. I’d return just to stick my face in this dish.For dessert, we consulted the waitress and landed on the apple crostada for its mix of hot and cold elements. The apples were baked beautifully in a pastry served warm topped with caramel sauce and gelato. A very happy ending to our flavor vacation.

  The food is delicious. We had the olive appetizer and the prosciutto and arugula pizza, and it was enough for two people, although some might consider the pizzas small. The restaurant is incredibly loud, however, and we practically had to shout to converse, especially since the tables are a very strange shape that means you are sitting very far from each other. The staff is very friendly, but the service was very slow. I will probably go back at some point because the food is great, but I would probably sit outside and budget a longer amount of time than usual.
