The ultimate in Italian fine dining, Il Postino Restaurant has been pleasing it's customers for over seven years. Owners Luigi Russo, Alfio Ruocco and Marco Pipolo have brought to the East Side an elegant dining establishment that has gone unrivaled in the neighborhood.

The entrance to the restaurant welcomes guests with a fabulous display of fresh vegetables, ravishing floral arrangements, and a luxurious granite bar. Marble floors throughout and elegant wallpaper with red trim make Il Postino one of the classiest institutions in town.

Due to its close proximity to United Nations Plaza, Il Postino attracts a very distinguished and sophisticated clientele. Celebrities, politicians, musicians and actors have all made themselves feel at home here. With a list of nightly specials that at times extends to over 50 dishes, this recipient of the Five Star Diamond Award for Excellence will never be
a bore. Fresh Agnolitti, one of the many house specialties, is served with fresh in-season White Truffles. Baby Grilled Octopus with Fresh Herbs chopped with Fresh Cherry Tomatoes is one of the more popular and inventive appetizers from which to choose. Roughly 20-30 different kinds of fish are served daily, with fresh Branzino and Dover Sole leading the pack, making this a truly unique dining excursion.

An impressive wine list, which includes upwards of 300 bottles, encompasses refined selections from Itlay, France, and California. Ten glasses are available as a sampling each night. All desserts are made on premises, and the homemade Apple Struddle served with Gelato will be the perfect end to an exquisite evening.
