Italian favorites
An Italian evening, your way
Ideas for planning an Italian dinner at Posto 896 in Encino, with pasta, pizza and time around the table.
Decide what kind of evening you want
A quick catch-up and a long celebration call for different dinners. Before you choose your dishes, decide whether tonight is about a favorite plate, trying something new, or simply having time to talk. That small decision makes the rest of the evening easier.
Let one dish lead
Posto 896’s Italian menu includes spaghetti chitarra with tomato and basil, tagliatelle with meat ragù, and lasagna alla Bolognese. If you are in the mood for pizza, Margherita is among the choices. You can browse the Italian dishes together before arriving and pick the one you are most looking forward to. Start there rather than feeling obliged to plan a long sequence of courses.
Order for the people at the table
If you hope to share dishes, mention that when ordering and ask the team how best to pace the meal. If everyone would rather choose an individual main, that works too. Tell the team about dietary needs before making decisions; descriptions on a menu are useful, but a direct conversation is the right place for ingredient questions.
Keep dessert on the horizon
Tiramisu is on Posto 896’s dessert menu. Whether you plan to finish with it or decide later, leave the evening a little room to unfold. A good dinner does not need to become an itinerary. Book your table, check the current menu, and come with one dish in mind and someone you want to spend time with.
