- OTOpenTable DinerDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoIl Posto was fabulous. Went here for my birthday and had one of the big amazing booths that made it feel like I had rented the whole restaurant for just my friends and I. Service was awesome as we had to keep adjusting our reservation due to the holiday of lights traffic and they were accommodating and understanding. The waitstaff ensured we always had full drinks and quick food. Thank you Il Posto for turning a crappy night into a great one!More infoIl PostoPrice: Expensive• Italian• River North (Denver)•4.5

- LJLaurenJvipDenver / Colorado •52 reviews5.0Dined on Aug 26, 2023This place was so fantastic. Super small space and the chefs are also your servers for the most part. I'm a dummy and took too long to write this review so I'll do my best re remembering what we had. We started with some beautiful oysters and a dip situation which included these amazing beets that my hubs and I became obsessed with and of course they're sold out online haha. There was a beautiful ode to the garden which was a handheld salad if you will, so amazing. There was also stuffed mussel, and duck I believe. Everything was amazing. I think the only thing that fell a little flat for us was the lobster dish, where there was a pasta in a lobster bisque if I recall correctly, and we felt like it was two dishes fighting each other. We ate everything regardless of nits and loved everything. Definitely recommend. One note, I guess between the name and write up, I was expecting more Asian influence which I didn't get less the chopsticks and one tuna dish. So if that's your desire here, you'll be disappointed.More infoKoko NiPrice: Very Expensive• Kaiseki• River North (Denver)•4.3
