Antica Posta
(Restaurants - Italian)
519 E Paces Ferry Rd, Atlanta  30305 • 404-262-7112
Distance: ~0.62 mi from Doubletree Hotel Atlanta/Buckhead
 
Description: BUCKHEAD. Sibling to a restaurant in San Casciano, Italy, Antica Posta has earned its reputation on stellar Tuscan cuisine. The time-tested menu employs premium ingredients, just as patrons count on, and folks know that abundant experience only makes the food better. Much-requested starters include excellent carpaccio, rabbit and arugula salad, and crostini with chicken liver sauce and duck ragł. Gnocchi al pesto also elicits raves, as do grilled rib-eyes, osso buco, and rosemary-marinated rack of lamb. Great wines are a welcome accompaniment, and the panna cotta can't be missed.

I had dinner at Antica Posta for the second time last Saturday. Crowded tables and so noisy one couldn't talk without shouting - not my idea of a good time…But the worst was the food. Boring white beans (about 1/4 of a cup) and eggplant parmigiana (sort of tomato eggplant mush) for appetizers set the tone for the meal. My ravioli…was overcooked to a veritable soup. The bread was abysmal. How can Italians serve such bread? They must be laughing up their sleeves at all the fools who think these miserable, anemic lumps of dough are anything that resembles the wonderful loaves and rolls of Italy. I could hardly restrain myself from giving them a few pointers on how to bake a decent loaf of bread. They are over kneading their dough and why they don't know this is beyond me. Don't go here unless you want to be ripped off.
