How can you go wrong with pasta? Posta certainly did. The two pasta dishes we ordered (Bolognese and Seafood) were bland, lukewarm and totally tasteless. The pasta was chewy and not particularly fresh. The seafood must have come from one of those frozen bags from the grocery store. A 10-year old can whip up a better meat sauce than what was served. If you are expecting pasta dishes with some genuine Italian flavours , go somewhere else. A food was a big disappointment. The outdoor patio is nice but they need to do something about their umbrellas which are not provided for all tables. read more

Went there with a friend and had lunch. I ordered the seafood pasta. The sauce was okay but the shrimp tasted like it had just been thawed out. It was soggy. For the price of the dish I expected better quality seafood. The cappuccino I ordered was good though and staff and atmosphere was great. read more

I can't say enough good about this place! We went there as a group (9 people) on February 16, 2018...Valentine's weekend. I had to call the reservation in since had a larger group and I also wanted to give the restaurant a heads up with regards to a few dietary restrictions two people had. Upon our arrival we all noted how large the venue was and how busy it was for such a new resto. We were already impressed! They have a beautiful and large bar area, private room for larger parties and a gelato bar which had yet to be filled with gelato but sure to be a hit come the summer months. On that note, there is also a large patio which overlooks part of the port. Again, sure to be a coveted area that will definitely require a reservation. Our server was friendly, offered suggestions and was expedient at ensuring everything was well paced. Beyond that, the two people that had dietary restrictions were well accommodated. I was given an item that was not even on the menu since I was on a special diet. Edward, one of the chefs, was extremely understanding and went above the call to ensure I got what I wanted. All in all, a fabulous experience from my phone call to book the reservation right down to the service. A few side notes, it is a louder restaurant, great for older kids (we did see a few smaller children there as well), there could be more choices for the secondi dishes, pizzas were a big hit with our group and everyone loved theirs, ravioli dish doesn't have many ravioli, charcuterie board is substantial and good for sharing. read more

It's such a shame how disappointing this place is. The location is perfect, in vibrant port credit, right on the river, but it's such a tourist trap with mediocre and overpriced food with service that doesn't fit the price. There is at least 2 restaurants within a stones throw that are much better in the area. One to avoid unfortunately read more

Long, long wait time between being seated and the server getting to us. Average food but overpriced, service was average. Being charged for a birthday dessert when the server gave the impression it was on the house. read more

Amazing service and amazing food. Would definitely be coming back and will be referring friends try out this new restaurant.

We went there last week to have dinner. We asked for salads and appetizers, my dad's spaghetti got before all the dishes and got cold. He had to eat alone. The music was loud and we couldn't have a conversation. My salad had a hair in it and we saw the chef walk away as the kitchen looked like a mess. The food was mediocre for the price, do not recommend. The poor girl who was serving our table showed in her face that the restaurant was a mess as she thanked us for being kind to her. Don't waste your time and money in this place. read more

Well where do I start. We asked at the door with our booking for 6:15 if we could get the patio as it is first come first serve. Not at this time. We said let us know if a table opens up many tables did but nothing from them. Well the night started by no waiter or waitress came to our table, we had to ask who could help us, they seem confused about the table number and who should serve it. After 1 hour we asked the Manager could he go to the bar and find our Vodka Martin drinks as we have been waiting for 1 hour for a drink already. When the bill comes we are charged for a premium upgrade which of course we did not order. Four table came after us and every single table had food and drinks long before we even saw our food. The make pizza a pasta for good sakes how long could it take a few appie items and 3 other selections and that's it.. I would NOT recommend it or ever go back, they know nothing about service. Walking out I was surprized how many empty table it had, I thought wow and they give this kind of service. When our appetizer came out the Manager was walking around to 3 tables did you order this, I thought this could be ours and put up my hand. They have no idea what they are doing even the Manager. If you want good Italian walk across the street or go to Michael's Back door but don't waist your money or wasted time on going here. You think after the bad service you might get a free desert or something for the aggravation of trying to eat and drink there. The food is nothing special, I had the fish, Dave had the pizza and the seafood salad was nice but how long does one need to wait to eat. Don't Eat Here. read more

First and last time to Posta. Expensive bill for sugary bar mix being passed off as cranberry juice and sprite tasted like lake water. If you are going to charge $5 for a juice, please serve juice and real soft drinks. Waitress visited our table several times as our pizza was incredibly slow to deliver. It was mediocre at best and one was burnt on the bottom. Seating arrangements were uncomfortable with long tables placed close together. Very awkward for people to leave the tables without sticking their behinds in another person's dinner as they squeezed out between two tables. $80 for two pizzas, a cheese appetizer, a sprite and two "juices". I would rather eat at Pizza Pizza. read more

Went on a Saturday for brunch and was hugely disappointed by the small serving size. We ordered the omelette Fritatta del Giorno and it was not much larger than the size of a poached egg in a little pan. The meal didn't come with anything but the omelette. The price was "market price" and only had a bit of mushroom and soft cheese and it was $16. My husband ordered Italian sausage on the side so luckily he shared a little with me. Drinks are expensive, even the coffee. I suggest that you plan to eat ahead or after. The pizza looked more substantial and a better choice if you are hungry. read more

Very disappointed with our meal with 4 friends at Posta. Portions were small and lacking flavour. The Tomahawk steak for two was bland and was a poor cut of meat, at $95 this was a big let down. It was also cold. Pasta portion was small. One of the pastas we ordered was cold. The angioletti fritti was hardened (should be soft). Tea was cold. We left hungry and felt like we wasted our night. We won't be back. read more

I made Valentine's Day reservations for four well in advance and asked for a quiet window table as we would be accompanied by a couple from Toronto. I received an email confirming the reservation and assurances that we would get the requested window table. However, on arrival we were directed to a table by the busiest and noisiest area in the restaurant, the apparent reason being that due to unexpectedly high demand they had to re-configure their seating arrangements. Give me a break - it was Valentines Day and my reservation was made weeks in advance... After some quiet protests they finally seated us at a table in a quieter area, but while some window tables were still unoccupied at 6:15 PM, we were unable to get one of them despite their emailed promises made weeks earlier. There was no problem with the service or the food we ordered, but due to the manner in which they handled my reservation I can't give them more than one star. read more

After looking forward to coming to this restaurant for weeks, we finally did last night. I had made reservations for early evening, so seating was not a problem. I have mixed feelings about our experience and here are the reasons: The menu is very limited and I was hoping for more options, and was asked by our server Dino (I think and apologize if I have the name wrong) whether I would rather have a wider selection for choice, or only a few options, but done really, really well. I did not say so, but frankly, since I am paying, I would rather have both. Does this restaurant have a wine list? I asked for a Chardonnay and my partner wanted sparkling water and the next thing, along came a 6 oz glass of wine and of course the water. I did not think much of it at the time, thinking that I was likely getting the house wine, which was fine. Although I've eaten in restaurants in Rome, I did not understand some of the items on the menu and Dino explained what they were and made recommendations, he really did well in this regard. I chose the Beef Ragu and my partner chose the fish and both dishes were terrific. I was in the process of asking for another glass of wine, but Dino turned his back and walked away. In fairness, he probably did not hear me, so we flagged someone else down. When our bill arrived, it turned out that I was charged $15 per glass of wine, I was disappointed because the wine was not one of my choosing, but I was not going to make a fuss - I did drink them. Lastly, in my opinion, if you're going to have an Italian establishment, with an Italian menu, perhaps the décor should match just a little - maybe cloths on the tables? Will we be back? We're not sure. read more

Posta has potential. I've been there twice since they opened. The food is good, as is the wine list. There are still some rough edges that I WISH they'd smooth out. First, bread. Yes, that should come to the table first rather than not at all unless expressly requested. Second, the parmesan cheese to sprinkle over the dish. Kraft grated parmesan just doesn't measure up. Other than that, bring on patio season! read more

Complete disaster. Whole restaurant seemed to go off the rails on a Saturday night. Waited over 2hrs for a table of four to get served - no food ever showed up. Many other tables suffered the same fate. Thanks for trying - but pretty sure you're not going to make it. read more

Service is ok and the space is very open and with a cool vibe but that is as far as it goes. The food is absolutely terrible. The pappardelle bolognese tasted completely bland like it was frozen ground beef and quickly fried and dumped on the pasta. The seafood pasta had dry chewy seafood that must have been frozen with tasteless sauce. The place will do well because of its location and patio in the summer but don't waste your money on the food because it is dreadful. read more

I had to wait a couple days to post this because it was so disturbing. We went as a group of 4 couples dressed up & ready to celebrate Valentine's Day. We choose a diff place every year to Check out the culinary scenes in the gta & niagara. This was our f1st & last stop at posta & this is why. Drink orders took up to 1 hr to even get taken - & over the 4 hours that we were there I was only able to order 3 super small glasses of over priced wine / and that's only because I stayed ahead of the game by preordering my next drink when my first drink arrived! The long wait prompted 1 of our friends to head to the bar & ask about the delay. He came back to the table and we still ended up waiting for our drinks. The owner then came to the table to have a word with our friend. We all thought that this would be the end of the bad part of the night & the beginning of something good. Um no. They tried to appease us by sending 2 small plates of olives to our table & the worst part - they tried to soften the blow by giving us a free bottle of champagne. It would have been a nice gesture - had it not been a bottle that wasn't even on their wine list because it's the kind of Champagne that children like - apple juice with a twist? So totally cheap and cheerful but all in the wrong way. I think it was martini and Rossi - one of those brands. Something tells me they keep a stash of it under the bar to keep all their unhappy customers quiet. Well not this group. Sorry dude. App and main orders took forever to be taken. And the mains ended up coming out while the apps were still on the table and uneaten. One of our friends had an immediate reaction to something she ate which speaks to the lack of fresh ingredients that the kitchen is obviously okay with passing on to its guests. They served shrimp that were not deveined (aka still had a full poop shoot) and when this was brought to the attention of the waiter he did nothing about it despite us asking him to take the sample to the chef. A couple of us placed main orders only to be told 15 minutes later that those options were no longer available. The menu itself was seriously over priced for what you got and it was also very limited. I myself Ordered the burrata app and to be honest the exterior was kind of tough which lead me to believe it was probably on the old side. But I ate it because at this point I was starving! Those are the points that needed to be made about the food and drink. But what happened afterwards is what was most disturbing. When we got our $800 bill with a mere $14 deduction - for the olives we didn't even order - well that was the icing on the cake. We called our waiter over and asked to have a Manager come to the table. When he did My two super smart, strong and beautiful female Friends very elegantly laid it all out as to why we felt we should be compensated in some way for the service we had been given and asked that they take another look at the bill to reassess. He took it away and when the manager came back they took $40 off. That was it. My Friend took the bill straight to someone else and from there all hell broke loose. Some of us were at the table still including me. I casually looked over and saw a big scene starting, some screaming, and the owner himself jumping behind his staff who were trying to hold him back. Immediately I told My husband: go - they need help. He ran over and I stayed behind at the table gathering all of our belongings. I was getting scared at this point as we were the last people there and it was only the employees left - meaning we were seriously outnumbered. We were all Ushered out of the restaurant and I'm not going to lie I was scared walking through all of those employees. But guess what - they were all embarrassed about how the owner was acting and screaming. When I got outside and met up with our group it was then that they told me that the owner was yelling the word 'tramp' and basically freaking out. All we asked for was a little Compensation from their establishment for essentially Ruining our Valentine's Day celebration. And instead we got that. My friend was shaking with anger. We were all completely in awe. How can you treat your customers that way - from start to finish - and end it off with profanities and threats. My friend called the cops - and that was how we left it. The owner was 100% on some kind of drug and need I say should not be in the hospitality business if he plans on acting this way with even 1 of his clients. In the end we walked away with every bit of our dignity in tact. And he was left to talk with this police. And in his state I'm Pretty sure he's going to be on some Sort of watch list. So If you've made it to the end of this post - remember do NOT go to POSTA ever. You won't regret it. And to all my friends that I was there with - you guys rock! read more

WE HAD TO CALL THE COPS ON THE OWNER!!! Never EVER in my life have I had such and incredibly disgusting experience in a restaurant or any establishment for that matter. I need to preface this fiasco I'm about to write about by saying, our group of friends are awesome. We are a all in our 30's and 40's and are the "work hard, play hard" types. We all are business owners and self made. We've all been blessed to eat and drink at some of the best restaurants in the world. But we also enjoy heading to local chain restaurants or cute mom and pop places for a bite. None of us across the board have ever encountered such a repulsive display of unprofessionalism ever! EVER, I repeat. I've had better service at McDonalds!!! So, short and sweet as I can be. Three of us couples arrived at this dump shortly after 8pm. For what was meant to be our Valentines celebration. Something we do every year together as a group. Now, to start it took over 15 min for our drink orders to be taken and another 20 min for some of our drinks to arrive to the table! 35+ min for drinks to come. There was staff all over the floor no excuse they were understaffed and couldn't get to us. Especially at the price they demand for their food and drinks. Anyway our one friend called over the owner who is actually a friend of a friend. So he sends some olives and bread to the table for all the delays. Because we are now an hour in and haven't had our appetizer order taken. When the drinks finally arrived, we waited another 15 minutes to have our food order taken. We have been there for over an hour and a half at this point. Finally we get our apps about two hours into the night. The shrimp from from the app dishes were not deveined. We showed the waiter and nothing was done. We asked him to please take a shrimp to show the chef. We placed one on a small plate for him to take back and he completely ignored us and walked away. Our apps had taken so long to get to us that the mains came before all the apps were even finished. Plus even the apps that were done, those plates were never cleared! Service was horrible! As for the quality and taste of the food, it was awful. It had no taste or it was dry or it wasn't fresh. One of our friends ordered the octopus as an app. After 2 bites she said she couldn't eat it. It wasn't fresh and had an awful smell and taste. Two of us had ordered mains and were told more than 15 minutes later that what we wanted was not available. Even when the entrees finally came. Our reaction was the same. Poor and tasteless food. Even the pizza was shit. How do you mess up pizza? Well they managed that too. It was a soggy wet mess all through the center. Again 3 of the mains were barely eaten. One had a bite taken from it and put to the side. So more than 5 plates of food total to weren't eaten or barely touched because of its quality. Do you think we were asked even once how the food was, was everything ok? Nothing!!!! No one gave a rats ass! You see full plates of food in front of your guest and you don't bother asking if there is an issue? Since our mains also took SOOOO long to arrive we ended up being the last table to leave. This is where things get even better! The bill finally comes comes and what did they do to try and rectify the fiasco of an evening we had.....NOTHING!!!!! Just 2 little bowls of olives!!! For a bill that was $800 !!! 5 plates of food not eaten, all the delays and bs we put up with that completely put a damper on our evening and that's what we got! None of us would ever slap our clients in the face like this. If something gets missed on our part or our clients aren't happy we all bend over backwards to make sure they are happy. Two of my friends calmly went to see the manager to say how disappointed we ALL were. The owner then decides to step in and IMMEDIATELY started yelling at them!!!! Didn't try to have a calm conversation. Didn't even ask what was going on or what he could do. He abruptly grabbed the bill like a mad man and shoved it into my buddies suit jacket pocket! Screaming and yelling profanities and calling my friend a TRAMP!!!!! What restaurant owner or any owner of a business treats clients or guests like that! His words were so threatening at all of us and he was so out of control that we had to call the cops on him!!! Half the staff had their hands on their heads with embarrassment of their so called boss. The other half was trying to pull him away because the men in our group were three times the size of him. All 6'5" to 6'8" and up to 280 pounds. Clearly they knew it wasn't a good idea for him to keep running his mouth. Especially, when they heard us calling the police. The owner is lucky we haven't posted the videos we have of his tirade on social media. We know it would ruin him completely. Which he deserves. But not the staff that relay on their paycheques working at this hole. So, what I'm trying to say is, NEVER EAT HERE! read more

My boyfriend and I came in for Valentine's Day and we were treated so poorly by the rude and sassy waitress. Her snarky attitude ruined our Valentine's Day. I've heard from several past employees that the place is full of rude service and I refuse to pay for poor service. Very dissapoibtig, not returning. read more

We had high hopes for this place, especially after seeing a video about their Parmesan wheel pasta which looked delicious. Upon arrival, we had to wait twenty minutes past our reservation time as they got the table ready. The service was the worst I've seen in a long time - the waitress poured a lot of water on our table while filling our glasses, including in my bread plate and on my friend's cellphone! She half heartedly apologized and left - we assumed she'd be back to wipe it up but she never bothered and eventually my friend pulled a napkin out of her purse to clean it up herself. We ordered the cheese wheel pasta, which ended up being a risotto that day and it was alright - pretty bland and not really hot. It is cool to see it being made. The waitress forgot to bring us the bread when we asked for it and it finally arrived towards the end of our meal. The dry bread plate I'd asked for never made it. We tried the dessert with the fried strips of dough and Nutella and it was just okay. The dough was tough and not nearly as good as similar desserts I've had. All in all, I'd say the food was mediocre at best but the service was what determined that I'll never go back and would not recommend to others. read more

Hi I have to give you some feedback. I came there on Saturday on my birthday. I live around the corner and am at Papa Giuseppe's 3 times a week and love it so much. Wanted to give this new place a chance. Very confused and flustered hostess wring her hands and made us stand 10 minutes in the lobby when the restaurant was almost empty. Patio 3/4 full. She finally took us to a table on the patio. Waitress didn't come greet us for ten minutes. We asked some questions about items on the menu and she hovered right over me with violent red lipstick 4 inches from my face and her hang hanging on the table and was directing me to get different things than what I wanted. Was very abrasive and kept interrupting me. We asked for water with our wine. She brought empty water glasses and left. Brought our salad and did not offer pepper or cheese. Just left. Made it very difficult for me to request a substitution on a pizza and said I had to have it "as is" or without and pay the same. I do understand some restaurants prefer not to make adjustments BUT. It was a simple substitution of arugula for chicory. Likely pennies cheaper anyway! Finally I got an acceptable compromise. Sadly the pizza was like cardboard. Literally. Hard and overworked. Gorgonzola was non existent. Hugely disappointing. The Pizza was bland bland bland. My friends gnocchi was cool, almost cold actually and not light and fluffy but nasty and gooey pasty and bland bland bland. The kicker at the end was we asked the waitress to split our bill on the machine. She hovered as we tried to figure out how much each of us should tip instead of stepping discreetly away. I whispered "$7.50 each" to my friend and she was trying to do her transaction and the waitress LITERALLY took the machine from her and added the $7.50 herself!!!!!! Then when I got the machine I saw the total was higher than my friends before too. I asked why and the waitress said SHE ALREADY ADDED THE $7.50 HERSELF!!! I said "pardon me??" And she said "well you said you wanted to add $7.50 each so I did it for you".....!!!!!!!! I still can't believe it. I was in shock. So yeah. Please address the terrible service and food? I am local and if I had loved it? I would be there all the time slo e and with my groups of friends. Instead I will not be eating there until reviews show some improvement read more
