Il Posto Accanto is a quaint trattoria that is owned by Chef Beatrice, who also owns the larger Il Bagatto located next door. The highlight of Il Posto is its extensive wine list that features a wide assortment of Italian wines which can be had by the bottle or carafe. At Il Posto, Chef Beatrice has created a menu which features various traditional Italian dishes like Calamari Alla Griglia, Bruschetta, and pastas like Penne Alla Vodka and Tortellini Con Rag. There is also a selection of meat and fish dishes, though if you find this excessive, you could always choose to make a meal out of a variety of small plates as you savor your wine.
