Good location. All food was good with a varied menu. Staff were attentive and helpful. The interior of the restaurant is good. I only downgraded the ambiance as we evidently visited on a quiet lunchtime. I’m sure there is a better vibe when busy. I would certainly return.

Excellent meal again at Pizza Posto. I tried the pizza fritta which was good as a novelty but I think I still prefer the standard pizzas. Service was good but I can't recommend the Posto Lager. I think I'll opt for the Menabrea next time.
