Posto 896 Italian & Hungarian Cuisine - Encino, California

Jeanne N.

We found Posto 896 by looking for the best rated restaurants in our price range in Encino and Sherman Oaks. We were celebrating two birthdays and wanted so wonderful food and a pleasant experience. We were blown away!! Our party of 5 could comfortably speak to one another in this delightfully open and airy space. And the food was incredible! Bf and I both opted to order from the Hungarian side of the menu and we were both thoroughlycharmed. Next time, we're going Italian and I know we'll have equally delicious food. A quick word about the kind and attentive wait staff - unintrusive but our glasses were always full. We had a fantastic time all around and will be back soon!!

My friend found this place as a good meeting spot between LA and Northridge. So glad she found this gem. They have excellent service and the food was fantastic! We had never tried Hungarian food, the waiter was very attentive and offered great recommendations (almost all of which we got). We loved it!

Finally found hungarian food in LA! Great place. Super friendly owner, oh and the goulash was soooo close to being as good as my Mom's... no offense though, as it was still amazing.

First time having Hungarian food. Good stuff!

Went for dinner with friends on a Thursday night. Place wasn't crowded but still recommend making a reservation - there were maybe 2 tables free when we were there.

Parking on site is valet and costs $8. Street parking is cheaper / free, depending on where you find a spot.

The service was very friendly and nice, but a little slow. They gave us free Hungarian crepes on the house, which was nice (and yum!).

I tried the beef stew, chicken paprikas, and pork cubes. Approve all of them - pork cubes were probably my favorite. The steak cut fries were great too.

Overall would recommend!

Being half Magyar, and having been raised on my mother's Hungarian cooking, it's not easy to impress me. The food is 100% legit authentic. We had the stuffed cabbage, chicken paprika and stew. All staples of a true Hungarian home, and all tasted like Gabi made it. I cannot recommend this place highly enough if you are wanting serious authentic Hungarian comfort food. Our waiter was superb, very attentive, gave great suggestions on wine, made sure we were comfortable the whole time and speaks the Magyar tongue, just adding to the awesome Hungarian experience. Just off the hook delish!

Friendly staff, pasta dish average but Hungarian dish very good. Brought own bottle of wine and found out when bill came corkage fee $30. That’s outrageous! We won’t be back.

Highly recommend trying Hungarian food.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

The customer service at this establishment is truly top-notch. The staff members are not only attentive but also incredibly polite, going above and beyond to ensure that every guest has a memorable experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu and gladly answered all my questions, providing excellent recommendations that suited my preferences perfectly.

Now, let's talk about the food. Oh boy, the food! It was an absolute delight for my taste buds. Each dish was meticulously prepared with a perfect blend of flavors and textures, leaving me craving more with every bite. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and the presentation was nothing short of exquisite.

What amazed me the most was the incredible value for money. The dishes were reasonably priced, considering the outstanding quality and generous portions. In fact, I couldn't help but feel that the food should cost more, given the exceptional experience and the level of craftsmanship that went into creating each dish.

Beyond the delectable cuisine, the restaurant also boasts a charming ambiance that enhances the overall dining experience. The interior decor is tastefully done, creating a warm and inviting space for guests to relax and enjoy their meals. The attention to detail in the design and layout further contributes to the restaurant's appeal.
