Two Saturdays ago, I went with Katie to Oakbrook Center to shop for business casual clothes.  I had a Lettuce Entertain You giftcard from last Christmas, so I decided to put it to good use at one of the restaurants at Oakbrook.  We decided on Antico Posto (118 Oakbrook Center, http://www.antico-posto.com/about/), an Italian restaurant and wine bar.  They have quite a few wines to choose from and their pasta, ravioli, and gnocchi are homemade.  It was a Saturday evening, so we had to wait about a half hour for a table.  You can wait at the bar, and they also serve food at the bar, but we decided to wait for a table.
Our server was very friendly but not super attentive- we had to wait a bit to place our order and then for the check.  The food is a bit on the pricey side but not horribly expensive- it is Oakbrook after all. :)   Bread with an olive oil dipping sauce is served soon after you sit down at your table.  For my entree, I ordered one of the specials that day, pistachio-crusted white fish, which was delicious!  Katie got the chicken marsala, which I tried a bit of, and that was also very good.  We passed on wine and dessert, but the homemade gelato sounded good.  I may have to go back and try it. :) Antico Posto also has specials Monday through Friday, such as 1/2 Price Bottle Tuesdays and $5 Pizza Night Wednesday.
Antico Posto was a pleasant experience- the food was flavorful, and I got to use my gift card.  I may go back to try the homemade pasta and gelato and maybe take advantage of one of the weekday specials, but I wasn't blown away by this place.
