Il Postale is an Italian gem of a restaurant in Sunnyvale. Lamb shank, fillet, artichoke appetizer, clam chowder, pasta pomodoro etc and lot more are there in Menu. Great wine collection. Excellent service. Parking facilities are also available. One of my favorite Italian restaurants. I can't wait to go back and eat there again!

I love that section of Sunnyvale and its a really cute restataurant. Don't try to go with a big group (a group over 5), it can get a little cramped. A great place to go to dinner and then walk around. More >

I enjoyed their lamb shank dishes: my favorite was the clam chowder and pasta pomodoro. I love their sauces and they were fresh and was like homemade. Good place to go for some tasty Italian cuisine. More >

I was disappointed by our service here. We had reservations for lunch here for a group of co-workers. One co-worker and I showed up before the rest of our group. There were about 9 or 10 of us. They had used our reservation for another group of people entirely. Don't they check names down there? And my co-worker and I were told that they didn't have room for us, turned their backs and walked away.
Now I understand how hectic the lunch rush can be on a Friday, but not to even work with us is unforgivable.
I live in Sunnyvale, and had always wanted to try this restaurant, but now I will *never* go back because they were so rude.
Later the rest of my group showed up, and only then did they try to accommodate my team. But by that time, my friend and I had left and eaten at the Indian restaurant around the corner on Murphy. And it was really good.

Il Postale has a warm atmosphere with fine art decorating its interior brick walls. Their food is excellent and they have a variety of meat and fish entrees that are fresh and well done. They also have customizeable pizzas and other Italian faire. My personal recent favorites are their crab cakes with red pepper sauce, and their fresh grilled salmon. We like the patio for dining when the weather is nice. They also have an excellent wine list and attentive service. A bit pricey for every day.

Service was at best just average. Lively and noisy so if you're looking for a quiet dinner then go elsewhere. Calamari appetizer was average at best. Lots of selection on the wine list. Caesar salad was just so-so,.I expected a lot better at an Italian restaurant. My filet mignon was probably one of the best I've ever had. Cooked exactly the way I asked, medium rare. Tiramisu for dessert was a disappointment....we shared the dessert and only finished half of it (party of 4)....it was very mushy. The service was inconsistent...we were waited on immediately but had to flag her down afterwards for our appetizer order...then to get more water...then to place our entree order...then to order another bottle of wine..then to order our dessert...and the place was not at full capacity.
Would I go there again?...probably not due to the service and noise level...but the food was very good and the price was reasonable, but that's about it!
Pros: price, taste, portions
Cons: noise leve, service, caesar salad

My boyfriend took me to Il Postale for Valentine's Day, and I was floored. The moment we walked in, the owner greeted us and made sure we were comfortable while we waited for a table. He said it'd take 30 minutes, but it only took 10. Our waiter treated us like good friends, joking around with us and making sure that we were taken care of throughout the meal. Sounds cheesy, but I was blown away, especially because they were so busy. The food was ordered and on our table within 10 minutes, and it was delicious. I had the baked rigatoni with Pinot Noir, and tiramisu for dessert.
I was most impressed by the fact that it was Valentine's Day -- every table was taken -- but they were still personable, precise, and relaxed. They must be incomparable on a slow night!
When we left, several members of the waitstaff said goodbye to us. If you're looking for a warm, familiar restaurant in a romantic setting, there is no choice but Il Postale. I will definitely be going back.
