In Italy, a restaurant named Posto Pubblico (literally “public place”) translates into ‘neighborhood joint’, where the spotlight is on community social life. It’s a gathering place where locals might visit several times in the morning for coffee, and again in the early evening for an “aperitivo” or cocktail before dinner.
Posto Pubblico believes in hospitality over service — being inspired to do FOR the guest and not TO the guest.
This guest-centric belief encompasses our New York-Italian comfort food with an authentic soul and the very ingredients from which it is derived.
Moderate-sized portions as nature intended — no hormone-injected animals mean no artificially beefed-up chicken breasts. Modest portions also foster sharing and communal enjoyment of a diversity of dishes, instead of limiting the dining adventure to just one or two items.
Upscale quality and service, casual ambience, stylish yet comfortable vibe that intimidates no one and welcomes everyone.
