Del Posto

By Eating In Translation   Jan 25, 2008

It's hardly the fanciest thing on the menu, but I wanted to know what a really good pasta fagioli should taste like. FULL REVIEW

Del Posto

By Salli Vates   Dec 24, 2007

My companion and I both have birthdays close to Christmas, so our holiday season is even more indulgent. This year, we celebrated my special day at opulent Del Posto, the perfect place for holiday excess. Unabashedly hedonistic, it offers $120 plates of tagliarini topped with 10 oz. of shaved white truffle, chocolate souffles with hot chocolate sauce pooling on the bottom... and is there any FULL REVIEW

Happy Birthday to... me. At Del Posto!

By FoodMayhem   Jul 26, 2007

For my birthday, Jessica treated me to a wonderful dinner at Del Posto Del Posto. For those of you who aren't in the know, Del Posto is Lidia and (her son) Joe Bastianich's and Mario Batali's largest (at least fiscally-speaking) venture. About two weeks ago, Jessica grabbed reservations on OpenTable and let them know it was my birthday, and asked if they could do anything special. And they did. In my oh so (not) humble opinion, they gave us the best table for two in the house. It was located in the upper level, to the right where there are only three tables and ours is in middle over-looking the entire restaurant. It's substantially... FULL REVIEW

The Best Kept Secret In New York (Del Posto Enoteca)

By The Amateur Gourmet   Feb 27, 2007

People, food blogs exist for a reason. A few months ago Ed Levine told you about "The Best Italian Restaurant Nobody Knows About". He gave you the number and huge incentives to call: celebrity chef, quiet room, $41 tasting menu.... FULL REVIEW

Del Posto Enoteca

By Gastro Chic   Jan 17, 2007

The room is hushed. Piano music tinkles in the background. Nearly everybody in the joint is talking business over a nice bottle of red and a good Italian meal. But the place is so well soundproofed, carpet and cushions everywhere, foam padding the underside of the tablecloths, you couldn't even hear the guy at the table next to you if he was planning a hit. Now if only Artie would quit coming by with that pathetic bandaged hand of his and going on and on about the specials. FULL REVIEW

Del Posto: Decadence With A Price

Jan 06, 2007

It took quite a while (months) for me to get to Del Posto… a restaurant opening I have been eagerly anticipating. Their pre-opening drama is now famous in the restaurant world, but little did I care if the fare was to live up to its promise. FULL REVIEW

Del Posto

By Sweet Napa   Sep 10, 2006

After years of marveling at Mario Batali’s creations on Food TV, I was really excited to have dinner at Del Posto, but it turned out to be anti-climactic. There was a lot of bravado surrounding food that was only good enough… bordering on just okay. I only got excited by one dish out of the five that I had. The food is expensive for what you get, and it generally lacked pizazz — what I remember most from the savory dishes were the flavors of pepper, salt, butter, and oil. I wanted more unique flavors to come through. And frankly, the options for the main course were pretty mundane. FULL REVIEW

Del Posto

By New York Journal   Aug 16, 2006

In last week’s New York Post, Steve Cuozzo surveyed the scene on Tenth Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets, where three restaurants have opened to great fanfare in the last year — Del Posto, Morimoto, and Craftsteak — but all have had their troubles. FULL REVIEW

Del Posto

By Opinionated About Dining   Aug 05, 2006

In a world dominated by French culinary technique and its derivatives, assessing and rating Italian cuisine properly is somewhat of a chore. The difficulty begins when one notices that Italian culinary philosophy, and its corresponding technique, is fairly simplistic when compared to the technique employed by its Northern neighbor. But the difficulties do not stem from technique alone. Compounding the issue is a significantly large in size chorus of diners who claim that simple is better and as such, Italian is superior to French and the other cuisines it has inspired. It’s a scrum that is difficult to settle, as there is no clear way to negotiate a winner without one accepting certain assumptions as to what makes for great cuisine. Or maybe I should say cucina just for the sake of fair play. FULL REVIEW

Del Posto

By Pabulum   Jun 26, 2006

The latest from the Batali-Bastianich empire, Del Posto’s staircase, marble floors and plush seating all scream money. You walk past the valet (!) through the lobby and it’s like you’re in someone’s mansion outside of New York. Its 18,000-square-foot space is larger than any of their other New York City restaurants and showcase extravagance, if not gaudiness. The menu prices scream dollar signs, too. FULL REVIEW

The Del Posto Post-O

By The Amateur Gourmet   Mar 27, 2006

Fans and lovers of Mario Batali, his shows, cookbooks and cuisine, I come to you with sad news: believe not the glistening, glowing three-star review Frank Bruni bestowed upon Mario's newest restaurant, Del Posto, in The New York Times just last week. I am here to bravely declare that Del Posto merits not three stars, not even two: our experience there last night was minimal at best. I am here to report back with firsthand notes, pictures, anecdotes--even video!--from a meal best left forgotten. I may not have the clout of a New York Times food critic, but I have the stamina and chutzpah of a first-rate food blogger. Would a professional photographer take a picture like this? FULL REVIEW

Snapshots of the Dells: Del Posto and Del Frisco 823 and 821 magickingdomillian stars respectively

By AugieLand   Feb 27, 2006

Wisconsin Dells is a place of amusement in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. It is a place people go to have fun, a place for mini-vacations. Things are a little overdone, somehow grand in their kitschy-ness. While it is always clear that you are going to a place to spend more money than you would on an average day out, you can usually convince yourself that the time and cost have translated to more fun for you and your company.

My Dinner At Del Posto 

By The Strong Buzz   Jan 13, 2006

With all the pre-opening hype surrounding Batali's new Italian behomoth, I'll get right to the point here people. Del Posto offers three things: magnificent design, impeccable service, and yes, phenomenal food. They had me at Posto. Indeed, the Batali-Bastianich Trio has a major success on its hands.

Del Posto:933 brunillian stars

By AugieLand   Jan 06, 2006

People often ask me for restaurant recommendations and I very happily give them. When someone says, "I need a great Italian place," my response without fail is that for Italian in the city you can't do better then Babbo. Babbo most accurately recreates the food I am served when I am in Italy. In fact, the only place that even comes close to it in authenticity is Babbo's little brother Lupa, which for the right situations is sometimes, in my opinion, actually better. FULL REVIEW

Posto Envy

By New York Journal   Dec 24, 2005

It’s the hottest new restaurant of the season—this year’s equivalent of Per Se. Yes, it’s Del Posto. Once upon a time, it would have been madness to open an upscale restaurant anywhere on 10th Avenue. Now, it’s the home of Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich’s "out-and-out bid for four-star recognition in a town where, as far as Italian restaurants go, three’s the max." A $29 valet parking charge is the only nod to the restaurant’s out-of-the-way location. FULL REVIEW
