Il Posto - Italian restaurant in Neptune City - 1129 5th Ave, USA

Just WOW -Stephen can make a fantastic Cosmo, a rare find in most places. The only place I can order pasta and meatballs and have it really taste like homemade. The Salmon dish is fabulous. My sister and I come at least once a week. Not going to bother going anywhere else. Food is all good. Love this place.

Here's the corrected version: I almost don’t want to give up this absolute gem of an old school Bronx-style Italian place. It's hidden from the Bradley Beach tourists, and you can see it from the active bar scene, which is filled with regulars. I wish Google had an option for rating 'overall validity' because Posto hits the mark. The kitchen loves fresh garlic, so if you’re not a garlic fan, let them know beforehand.

We brought our family there who were visiting for the weekend, 10 adults and 2 babies. Sean answered our call when we asked if they could accommodate us all and he then greeted us when we got there. He was very welcoming and nice, Our service was great. I did not catch our waitresses name but she is a younger girl and was amazing. She was beyond friendly and attentive. We all got different foods. The special, butternut squash soup was a huge hit at our table. Everyone loved their dinner as well ( chicken franchise, lasagna, short ribs to name a few) and my leftovers were just as good the next day. We certainly plan to go back. Thank you to the staff there for a great family dinner.

Always a great meal and fair prices. Live music and the staff is great. Can not remember the last time a salad came with my meal great old school touch.

The service, atmosphere, and food were all fantastic! The Veal Francaise with sauteed spinach and broccoli rabe. Delicious!

Fantastic food. Server was great but a bit overloaded. Strange entryway, it took some time to get seated because of band setting up. Band was great. I kind of cringed when I saw they were going to have live music. Sometimes they can be loud. They were very pleasant. Had Caesar salad and sausage ravioli in bolognese sauce. Perfect!

I appreciate that this place is a neighborhood establishment and it’s close proximity. I haven’t eaten inside the restaurant in 2+ years today was reminded why. Sat down with my 2 young kids at 4:30 and still wasn’t waited on by 4:50. Was brought bread and a pitcher of water and when that was all gone I asked the hostess if someone was going to give us service. She said someone would be right over. 3-5 bus boys on staff, the hostess, and what looked like 2 servers standing around with no sense of urgency- for the 4 tables inside… 5 mins later watching a few more turn arounds back to the kitchen with no “hey I’ll be right with you” and the hostess rolling silverware behind our booth. We left. Remember why I stopped coming in the first place, this place still has a front of house management issue. The only good service is at the bar.

What a hidden gem! Great food, great service, and a warm atmosphere. The food and drinks were both reasonably priced and we had a great time! Love music part way through dinner and the music was just beautiful
