Why Encino Loves Posto 896: A Taste of Italy and Hungary on Ventura Blvd

Posto 896 stands out on Ventura Blvd not just for its menu but also for its dedication to quality and authenticity. The restaurant features an array of dishes that highlight the rich culinary traditions of both Italy and Hungary.

Take our handmade fettuccine, for example. This dish showcases the skills of our chefs who hand-roll the pasta daily, resulting in a tender texture that beautifully captures the flavors of our homemade marinara sauce—an ideal balance of tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. Another crowd favorite is the Hungarian goulash, a hearty stew made with tender beef and a blend of spices that includes paprika, which is a staple in Hungarian cuisine. A serving of this dish contains approximately 35 grams of protein, making it a nutritious option that does not compromise on taste.
