Had a wonderful Valentine’s Day 2025 dinner at Prasino. The snowy Chicago weather meant it wasn’t overly crowded, making for a cozy and intimate experience. The ambiance was excellent, and while the entrée selection was somewhat limited, every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. Service was attentive and professional. Highly recommend for a date night or a business dinner!

Great dining experience every time I go to Posto 31. From the cocktails to dessert, and everything in between, it's fantastic. My table had the smoked old fashioned and non-alcoholic margarita and enjoyed both. Then, Sunday Salad and Simple Salad - both were great and the portions are huge. The salads are definitely share'able and I appreciate our server for telling us that before we over-ordered. Then, entrees were the Pasta a la Posto - one made without bacon for the vegetarian at my table. You cannot beat homemade pasta. This was an unforgettable meal.
