Il Posto Bistro

Where Classic Italian Meets Modern Spirit

Il Posto Bistro is a family-owned Italian restaurant, co-owned and operated by Chef Chris Ventura and his fiancée Wendy Loveless. Together, they’ve built more than a restaurant, they’ve created a place where good food, family, and community come together. With Chris leading the kitchen and Wendy welcoming guests in the dining room, their teamwork sets the tone for the warm, inviting atmosphere that defines Il Posto. Their two eldest daughters are also part of the team, adding an unmistakable family touch to every service.
