It's not bad but there's a lot of Italian food restaurants better. The price is not expensive, but is not cheap either. I like Piccolo Di Posto more. I tried the four cheese rigatoni pasta, but It wasn't that good. It's not a bad place but the only way that I can eat here again if I don't have more... More

Try this place if you're looking for a decent meal. I dropped in a couple of times and it's a friendly place with a decent menu. It's often busy in the evenings and isn't overly sophisticated for a more business casual or casual feel. The patio in the evening, even though overlooking a parking lot and street, has a great...

We went recently to Il Postino in Guaynabo (San Patricio) for the fourth time. I've been once to the one in San Juan which opened first. The food is very similar. The sea food soup was excellent. I always have the mushrooms stuffed with vegetables (app). My wife had a churrasco risotto which was ok, although the plate could have... More

Amazing pasta and pizza: i had the seafood pizza!!...salads are hughe so it's good to share. But be prepared with earplugs: it's noisy and almost impossible to have a conversation with your dinner companions. Wish there was something they could do about it cause sometimes i want to eat there but skip it due to the noise.

Returned there on my recent trip to San Juan last month. 2 years ago I was really impressed with their food, portions and coffee. Could not forget their coffee. Of course I had to return there. This year was same great service, food and large portions you can easily share. I think it's better as a breakfast place then dinner... More

Il Postino was recommended by the staff at the Marriott and by one of our tour guides. Modern clean decor with a lovely outdoor porch. Superb veal and seafood pasta. The service was rather slow, even with two waiters. Even so, the food was worth it.

Il Postino is located about two blocks off Condado Street. Il Postino serves elegant Italian food on the porch, with soothing light on each table, overlooking lovely trees and on a quiet street. There is, of course, an inside but we were happy outside. There is a daily lunch special and as well as a full menu of salads, pastas... More

We were staying at the nearby Marriot and asked the concierge for a recommendation for Italian within walking distance. He recommended Il Postino. It was t he perfect recommendation. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. and even on a Friday evening, there was little to no wait. The Seafood pasta was excellent, as was the Egplant pasta. I also... More

Visited for dinner after asking the hotel for recommendations. Had a great dinner. Service was polite and relaxed. We had calamari and it was excellent. I had ravioli which I couldn't even finish it. My husband had fish which he said was very goodt. Good price, nice atmosphere and an overall great meal.
