Il Posto has an excellent location, crammed between other bars and restaurants, their patios shoulder to shoulder. The concept is also interesting: a purely and unapologetically Italian trattoria with chalkboard menus, changed daily and almost always brilliant, an open kitchen and a dining room alive with bodies, light and noise. On a good day and with a little luck, a meal at Il Posto can rank among the best that Denver has to offer. And on a bad day, this spot is still a fun place to hang out.

    Il Posto proves worth the wait

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, August 14, 2008

    My notes from my most recent meal at Il Posto are almost indecipherable — hasty scrawls on the back of an envelope I'd found in my car, on a credit-card receipt from my pocket. Moscato, they say. Froot loops, Van CA, stale, bur-stuffed chix boob, ... More >

    There was something about Il Posto that moved us on our very first meal there. It wasn't the food, and it certainly wasn't the staff. No, it was something about the vibe — some indefinable hum of friction between the kitchen and the floor, the customers and the chalkboard menus hung high on the walls, that just made the place seem alive. And since it opened three years ago, the food has improved markedly, the staff has mellowed, the early crush of neighborhood trend-humpers trying to squeeze through the door on a Saturday night has cooled, but that vibe remains — that feeling of excitement that the best neighborhood restaurants must have, regardless of their price point.

    This is what Italian food is supposed to taste like... You want to know why the menu is written on a chalkboard at Il Posto? Because the menu changes every day!!! The chef and his staff take fresh ingredients and turn them into little gems of yummy goodness - cauliflower has never been more delicious than when it's with homemade gnnochi and apples in rissotto is genious! Pork belly, breaded thresher shark, osso bucco on Wednesday nights... Yes, I've been here a lot AND every meal is worth it. Fun by yourself if you sit at the dining bar or great with a group! but memorable... Short but enticing wine list, the dessert is to die for too - great to share since you'll be too full by the end of your meal to eat on by yourself. Check it out yourself, you won't be disappointed!

    Great spot on 17th not far from places_meta.City Park. They have a solid wine list and their menu changes daily. All of the pasta is made in house or imported direct from Italy. Ask your server for their recommendations for the day and try to grab a table on their patio if it's nice.
