Chef John LaPosta has had a long and exciting career path which has landed him in the restaurant of his dreams. Along with his partner, Tina Kruger, he has created a wonderful American Gastropub full of great energy, fine hospitality, and of course, outstanding food.

It is his passion for excellence, beaming hospitality and tireless work that have been the hallmarks of John's 30+ years as one of the Capital Region’s most popular chefs. He is known for his outstanding food that he serves to "real" people in a fun and unassuming style. His simple philosophy has always been "put the love on plate." In doing this, people feel comfortable when reading his menus and do not feel as if they need to be a chef themselves to understand it. Inspired food and service in an unassuming manner with outstanding hospitality!

We went for to dinner for Taco Tuesday. I had been previously and had shrimp tacos. This time it was cod tacos. They tasted like frozen breaded fish sticks. The margarita pitcher hardly had any liquor in it. I will not be going again on Taco Tuesday.

Innovo continues to deliver outstanding food and service. We dine there often and will continue to do so. The noise level is very high, but that's our only complaint.
