From a gorgeous wall of technicolor bottles and a one-of-a-kind hanging woven art piece in the main dining area to the welcoming smell of homemade focaccia and garlic confit, Al Solito Posto delivers for a night out with friends or arguing with your family over how many pastas to order. The bar is a great place to sit for a Happy Hour pizzette and to look through their extensive list of wines and spirits or take a crack at experimenting with their Negroni bar where your chosen spirits are mixed to create a custom drink. But if you can, get a table by the open kitchen to get a look into the inner workings of the menu, especially the rigatoni alla vodka that we’re still having trouble putting into words. Finish the evening with an amaro nightcap and the classic Italian rainbow cake, which is a good choice no matter who you bring here.
