Il Posto

The Italian-born chef of this neighborhood restaurant uses only the freshest ingredients, so menus change daily. You can depend on items like house-made cheeses and pastas, Berkshire pork and Pacific halibut, all creatively prepared with nontraditional ingredients like huitlacoche. The garage-style doors, exposed ceilings and creamy walls help make this cozy eatery feel light and bright. A perch at the small bar allows guests to take in the sizzle and slice of the open kitchen.
