I have always hesitated to order a “Brotsalat”, but I will order it at any time, I have the chance to go forward--- delicious! we both had the chocolate dripping butter torte for dessert and were not disappointed! a great chocolate fix to finish a great meal. aposto is a wonderful place for a quiet dinner for two. the atmosphere is warm and friendly, the background music is just right, and the wee and the eating never disappointed.

The appetizer was impressive but the main and the cake weren't worth the price, we do feel what they're trying to show us (for example home made cavatelli) but the marinara andsalmon didn't taste anything different from what you could get elsewhere at a lower price. Our waitress was super nice though.Will consider visiting again to try their normal menu but won't have high expectation anymore.

Great ambiance both inside and outside. Our server was very attentive and knew a lot about our dishes and the wine. Shemade a few good recommendations too. For dinner, I had the mussels and the pizza fritta. The pizza fritta had a delicious comboof creamy goat cheese and savory garlic jam that was a real treat. The mussels were perfectly cooked and served in a delightfulwhite wine sauce. My boyfriend had the bone marrow pasta which is now one of my favorite pastas of all time. Very unique, as youscrape the bone marrow out and into the pasta, the caramelized shallots adding an unexpected bite that brings the whole dishtogether. I would recommend Aposto to anyone looking for a date night restaurant or to annoy one that is simply looking for agreat meal.
