Thursday Best Bites - Café Postino, Almonte

Fresh cheese ravioli with tomato and basil

This quaint Italian eatery opened up last year in the old post office downtown.  I have eaten here about five times and thought it was time for a mention.  The food here is an eclectic mix of delicious in-house made goodies.  Flavourful pizzas, tender pastas, savoury soups and scrumptious desserts.  I love that you can see chef/owner Steve Falsetto at work on his creations.  Having seen many restaurants come and go in this space over the years, Café Postino is a welcome addition to the Almonte food scene.  A great place for lunch or dinner.

What: Ricotta Ravioli

Where:  Café Postino, Almonte

Comments:  The raviolis were tender and delectable.  The pasta was the perfect thickness, right amount of cheese and the tomato sauce tasted so fresh.  I ate all of them!  I also had a bite (or two) of the pizza margarita - the flavours were superb - garden fresh tasting tomatoes, fresh basil and the right amount cheese.  We've been there to eat several times, and we'll be back.

Some other dishes I have enjoyed.
