We've been to La Posada on previous trips to Canberra. It may well have changed hands over the years (what hasn't?) but it still makes great traditional pizza (thin based, generally simple style). If you want a tandoori chicken pizza, this is NOT the place for you. If you like old-school rustic pizzas, then you're in for a treat. Very... More

The pizzas taste good, look perfectly cooked, but are soggy underneath. We had arancini for entree, which were nice enough and had a tasty sauce on the side. The restaurant was quiet when we visited on a Saturday night, so we expect the waiters to have more time to look after diners. We found them distracted and inattentive. So, overall,... More

We walked up without a booking with 9 people (including kids) on a Saturday night and they were very welcoming and friendly. The food was great and the service was fantastic. The staff were more than willing to happily accommodate all our requests and were considerate of the needs of the kids. Small and intimate setting and good value for... More

Being greeted by the enticing smell of pizzas being made in the open pizza kitchen in the far right corner, you might not be inclined to consider anything else from the ’La Posada’ menu –but you should! There is a variety of dishes (plus specials on the blackboard) that prove of true knowledge of the Italian cuisine, in all courses... More

6 people sat down for a lunch during work hours (expecting to be in an out within an hr - an hr and a half). The restaurant was quiet. 5 people ordered the lunch time special (banquet), and I ordered some garlic bread and a greek salad. 25 minutes in, we asked whether our meals would be coming soon. We...

After a big day of shopping with my indecisive sister who was visiting from out of town we finally decided on La Posada. My sister is a bit of a food snob so I was a little concerned this would not be up to her "sydney" standards. I need not have worried the food was fresh and fabulous. The wait... More

My wife and I ate here in October during a visit to the Australian capital. The restaurant is situated in one of the old arcaded buildings in the centre of the city and is unremarkable to look at. Once inside, we were given a warm and friendly welcome plus attentive service throughout the meal. We did not choose pizza. Other... More

I have now spent some time in Canberra due to work commitments which has lead to many excursions to some of the restuarants recommended in Tripadvisor. All the experiences on other restaurants was mixed, due to a combination of food quality service, but mostly value for money - generally I have found the Oz Capital a bit of a rip... More

I searched high and low in Canberra for a restaurant that was neither a dive nor an overpriced excuse to spend on an expense account. I almost gave up hope, and then I came upon La Posada. Comfortably busy, mid-evening on a Thursday, service was prompt but not stifling, and the food was good and a tolerable price. Altogether it... More
