The Caesar Salad sported focaccia croutons, parmesan, and double-smoked bacon. The salad wasn't very impactful, however, the bacon really came through. Rather than being crunchy, the bacon was meaty, which actually worked. We had the Meatballs with pecorino and toasted focaccia. These were on point being meaty, moist. They were nicely seasoned, but the tangy tomato sauce added a nice acidic and bright punch. Loved the ample amount of fresh basil on top as well.

The Carbonara pizza had béchamel, double smoked bacon, black pepper, and egg. Due to the minimal amount of wet ingredients, the razor-thin crust on this pizza was crunchy from edge to nearly the centre. The crust was nicely browned. The dough could have been seasoned a touch more, but the toppings added needed saltiness. The egg was perfectly runny and creamy. The Brooklyn pizza consisted of tomato sauce, roasted garlic, mozzarella, grana padano, pepperoni, and fennel sausage. The crust on this one was much more fragile due to the ingredients. The tomato sauce was tangy and well-seasoned. The pizza was zesty and robust.

The Spaghetti Bolognese came with aged parmigiano reggiano and garlic oil. Compared to pasta joints in the Greater Vancouver Area, the portion size on this was pretty large. The pasta was al dente. As for the bolognese, it was meaty with mild hints of sweetness. It could've had a bit more depth and richness.

Overall, we were satisfied with the food at Il Posto. It might have a hard time when compared to the heavyweights in town, but for Delta specifically Ladner, it serves up solid eats at a reasonable price.

The Good:

The Bad:
