Just ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the Valley’s most popular fine-dining restauranteurs opened a little Italian spot in Longmeadow.
Posto by The Federal is located in The Longmeadow Shops and serves “old-school new Italian” dishes. While Posto and The Federal share the same executive chef, Michael Presnal, Posto is more casual than the Agawam fine-dining destination.
Whereas The Federal does service with elegance on white lenient, Posto does service with elegance on newspaper tissue printed to look like vintage news articles.
Since opening in October 2019, online reviews have praised Posto for cooking updated classics with fresh ingredients. The restaurant serves brick oven Neapolitan-style pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and desserts

The Federal in Agawam has a reputation for being a go-to restaurant for special dinners and celebrations - even during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The venerable fine-dining establishment has been able to package that celebratory spirit into its new curbside pickup service.
Take-out from The Federal can be ordered Tuesday-Saturday, 4-8 p.m. The menu includes house favorites like “a bucket of balls” (risotto balls with black truffle butter and snipped chives), chef’s hand-cut steak tartare, roasted rosemary duck breast, wild forest mushroom tagliatelle, fig and prosciutto pizza, and warm Nutella crepes.
The food-to-go option became an excellent choice during this time of social distancing. Reservations are a little harder to score at the new American cuisine restaurant, bar, and steakhouse - especially with competition for seats driving in from Boston, New York, and the Berkshires.
