"Found this on Tripadvisor, and also a 5 minute walk from the Premier Inn where we were staying. Initial impressions might be off putting as the main restaurant is upstairs and just a small bar area is visible from the street. Stick with it, the welcome is warm, and the food and service are outstanding. As advertised, this is very authentic, run by Italians, in case of the server owner? from Calabria. We had three courses, meat and cheese etc sharing platter, then venison ragu and fresh pappardelle pasta, then desserts. Homemade and very delicious food. All this plus a bottle of Montepulchiano and one grappa for a very reasonable price £93 for two . It was a wet Tuesday evening but the place still had plenty of customers. Very happy with this find and would definitely go back."

Authentic Italian food with fantastic service. Pastas were al dente with great flavours. Do not miss out on their desserts as well. Highly recommend and I will definitely go back there if I am in the area!

Best Italian meal in the UK. The food was sublime fully complimented by the selection of wines. The waiter was both knowledgeable and friendly adding to the overall experience. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We would come back to Canterbury just to eat here again. View menu

A thank you dinner with friends and our first trip to il Posticino. Beautiful food authentic, tasty and hot. Staff were very helpful. They knew the menu and were able to advise. Great atmosphere, warm and cosy on a cold night. Great value for money too. Highly recommend the chicken liver pate which was part of the antipasto starter and the spinach side dish was delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a really nice place to eat, the restaurant is upstairs, we were there quite late so it was fairly empty, but I imagine the atmosphere is buzzing when its full. We had a lovely meal, stating with a sharing platter of meats and cheese, which was perfect, then for mains we had the Venison and a pasta dish , both were cooked beautifully and plenty for us. We were looked after very well and have no complaints whatsoever. if we are ever in Canterbury again, we will be going back. I selected II Posticino based on the Tripadvisor reviews, there were a couple of bad ones, but to be honest I don't know what they were on about, I guess you are never going to please everyone!

"After never visiting Canterbury before we where looking for somewhere to have a late lunch, we came across this place which looked ok, upon entering the back room we were offered to take a seat in the front area and someone will be with us. We asked what food there was and we where sarcastically shown the food on the blackboard, after choosing what we wanted the polite man went off and put the order in. We did feel that because the man had asked a couple of questions to another member of staff that he was spoke down too a bit. Anyway after placing the order and what we wanted the food came out it wasn’t correct but because it seemed like we were going to interrupt the people in the back room we just took what we had. It was nice food though. When we went to pay we hadn’t noticed that there wasn’t a price list so when we asked for the bill we were told that it was donation, what we thought was enough, it wasn’t posted anywhere and it took us by surprise as we where standing at the till, I was going to pay in cash but was told they don’t take cash so I had to give my donation in card by telling the person how much we where donating. After plucking a figure out of air as we wasn’t prepared we paid and left. Upon leaving we felt that the person we paid thought we hadn’t paid enough and wasn’t happy with the amount but after working out what we would have paid properly we worked out that we had paid more than what it might have been if there was a proper price on everything. Overall it has a great ethos and it’s great for giving people the experience that they need to be in a working environment but they need to show the price or tell customers first that it’s donations and card only."
