Reviews for Il Postale in Sunnyvale, CA
Not very good. Especially at the prices they're asking. Ambiance is great and it's what drew us in. We got chicken and brie with... sun-dried tomato pesto in phyllo with a cream sauce for an appetizer. Sounds pretty good right? What came out was asimultaneously dry and soggy mess - pretty sure the chicken phyllo wraps were microwaved, and also pretty sure the cream saucewas from a jar. My wife got the gnocchi, it was definitely store bought from Safeway. I had beef braciola - beef was overdone,spinach in the center paradoxically was cold, and the red sauce tasted like a jar of Ragu. The meal set us back a hundreddollars and both of us regretted it.

Super casual vibe on a Friday, perfect for date night. I just wanted to get off work and head straight to dinner. The service... was prompt, attentive, and courteous. The food was great. I had the cioppino and my girlfriend got the creamy fettucini (sorrynot pictured). Btw the cioppino is listed as an small plate but I made it my main dish. Read more
Excellent service. Wine super overpriced. $11 retail syrah for $38. Menu misleading ie sauteed brussel sprouts are actually... microwaved with a few condiments sprinkled on top. Asked for rare medium rare lamb chops and got raw cold in the center. Sendthem back and then they were well done. Good quality meat but poor cooking quality. With so many choices on that street, whyrepeat? Read more
Love the happy hour options! Many drinks are $6 during Happy Hour and the bar menu is half off! 2pm-7pm Mon Fri. Delicious... options were ceviche and small plate gnocchi. Two people, 5 drinks and 3 bar menu food with 20% tip = ~$58! Our server Briannewas hilarious and helpful! Made sure we knew the 50% off bar menu and made great suggestions. Read more
The day we dined, the bus boy must have won the lottery as nearly a third of the tables presented dirty dishes scattered about... although the restaurant was empty post lunch. Upon receiving the check, the server/hostess was disingenuous about the autogratuity of 18%. Hats off to the chef though! Enjoyed the cuisine. Read more
