The signs outside Bel Posto in Huntington are blunt. There are six of them posted at the entrance of the for-sale spot.
The Italian restaurant received a two-star rating in Newsday in October 2010, when Michael Ross was the chef. The eatery was recommended for ricotta gnocchi, farfalle in a pork ragu, braised meatballs, sirloin steak and an olive oil-and-almond cake.
Previous residents at 15 New St. have included Tello and, many years ago, Orlando.
