Aposto

Aposto is a modern classical Italian-leaning restaurant founded by restaurateur Tony Lemmo. Its menu draws on travels and seasonal produce, with dishes like agnolotti with wild mushroom filling, lemmo's cavatelli with house calabrian sausage, gnocchi with lump crab, and chicken piccata with romano risotto. Desserts include a chocolate torte and crème brûlée, and the menu also lists market charcuterie and bone marrow.

Dinner is served Wednesday through Saturday evenings, with earlier seatings Wednesday and Thursday and later hours Friday and Saturday. Reservations are taken online, and the restaurant hosts private events. It is housed in an 1880 Victorian mansion on 18th Street in Des Moines.
