Il Posto Ristorante

We regularly come to Il Posto and it never disappoints. We ordered the salad special (watermelon prosciutto arugula), rigatoni alla vodka, gnocchi Gorgonzola, chicken parm in blush sauce, Stacchetti pasta special. All were amazing. We sat outside on the deck. Fantastic experience!

Everything was perfect. There were 8 of us and every single dish was superb. Fast service for such a busy restaurant. The food was beautiful and very delicious. The seafood were fresh. The tiramisu was perfect. Will definitely have to make this gem our regular stop every time we come down here.

This is our favorite restaurant in Avalon. It's such a treat to enjoy this amazing chef and his creations. The servers are very friendly, attentive and helpful. The decor and atmosphere is pleasant. We usually start with either the octopus- Polpo alla Griglia or Calamari alla Griglia appetizer-both are fantastic. My husband's favorite is the Breaded Veal Chop -Cotoletta al Parmigiana. Our son's favorite is the Risotta al Gamberi. My favorite are the featured specials. We enjoyed a Flounder Special with Crabmeat in a lemon sauce during the summer of 2023 that we kept going back for. Dynamite! (I would not ding them on this but I preferred the old exterior signage-black with red lettering as opposed to the new blue signage that everyone else does at the shore-boring, ordinary and it doesn't pop).

Had our best meal yet while on vacation at il Posto! Our waiter Tim was excellent, staff was super friendly and the food was AMAZING!! A must visit. No one was disappointed at our table.

We travel to Avalon several times a year and we always include a meal at Il Posto. Amazing food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere makes this our favorite restaurant on the 7 mile island.

My husband and I love Il Posto!! The food is always consistent and wonderful and the service is always smooth and impeccable. Samantha and Leigh are always terrific to deal with. If there was a 6th star available we would give it to Il Posto - we will go ahead and add our own!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I should have written this last fall but I'm just getting around to it - we ate here in November and it was such a pleasure. The food was very good and the service was so attentive and friendly. We loved that we were not rushed, and so we ended up eating several courses for this reason, and of course because we were really enjoying the food. I see some other comments about the atmosphere not being great - we really thought the atmosphere was nice, but the enclosed deck does not necessarily have perfect climate control. For us it was winter and that was ok, I don't know if it's a problem in the summer since some people have commented negatively about the AC dripping on tables. But there's another dining room that's part of the building if you don't want the slightly rustic atmosphere of the enclosed deck - we liked the deck area so we would sit there again. We can't wait to go back this season and highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing. My new favorite spot down the shore. The food was excellent and the servers were so great, friendly, and attentive. Loved it so much ! Highly recommend!

I meant to post this in September. We had the best dinner at IL Posto. I have been coming to AV for almost 20 years and have to say this is the best dinner I have ever had. The food was fantastic and the service was friendly and prompt. I never felt my table was ignored or forgotten. The staff was amazing especially considering it is very difficult to get good reliable help during Covid. I would give 6 stars if I could! Keep up the good work! I went there a few times in September. Great menu, great food, great service and BYOB!

By far the best restaurant on the 7mile island! The Food is always spectacular along with the service. I strongly recommend the dover sole

An exceptional meal at Il Posto. We had the grilled octopus and grilled calamari apps. Both were tender and perfectly cooked. The generous portion of calamari is on a bed of arugula - a delicious salad though it is not listed that way on the menu. My husband really enjoyed his ravioli special, and my capellini de sardinia was excellent. Thanks to our server, Sam, for her recommendations and excellent service!

We went for my father's birthday and it was great. The food was amazing and Kylie was an excellent server with a great personality and really made the night enjoyable. Would definitely recommend dining here.

Favorite Shore restaurant! Specials are always great, love the outdoor seating area.

Had the beet pasta special with crab, shrimp and scallops. I requested no scallops and my request was honored. Received extra shrimp.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish the food is exceptional and the staff is vibrant and polite . Kudos to the chef and a special thanks to Samantha Freda for delivering an exquisite experience filled with love 💓

Very guys quality dinner. O had the chicken Parmigiano and my wife had a seafood and pasta special. Both were awesome and the staff were equally awesome from start to finish. We will certainly be back.

Have dined here twice. Both times had delicious dinners and excellent service.
Much more pleasant dining experience than other Italian restaurant in Avalon.
You'll be very pleased at il Posto.

5 of us dined this evening at Il Posto. Every entree was spectacular. We sampled 4 appetizers and 4 desserts all were delicious. Great service too!

We had dinner outside, the host lit heaters, and it was really comfortable, the servers were great, and the food was fresh and perfectly prepared.

Valarie made our experience incredible - she helped us with dinner, accommodated an allergy in our party and was so fun and nice! Great experience.
