Posto Giusto is an Instagrammer’s dream. Rustic Italian pastas, salads and braises look gorgeous on handmade ceramic dishes. Deep reds and yellows of bruschetta slices contrast handsomely against wooden planks. And beautiful young people surrounded by aged brick walls and large vintage windows could be photographed for Bon Apetit magazine. Such is the appeal of the new fast casual Italian spot in Eagle Rock opened by Marshall Blair, owner of Silver Lke stalwart, Blair’s restaurant.
Fast casual classic Italian? Sounds like an oxymoron. Certainly pizza can be gotten at a counter service restaurant. So can sandwiches, tacos and roasted chickens. But tapas-sized plates of pasta? Braised short ribs on polenta? It’s a concept that Blair and Chef Christopher Washburn were willing to try. Every item is ordered a la carte at a pay station in the middle of the restaurant and then delivered to your table in record time. After that, you’re left alone.
