“ Came here for lunch with a group of five. We were sat pretty immediately and had a chance to order food. We ordered the toasts for the table and sandwiches and salads for our entrées. I really enjoyed my meal. I will say service was a little off, but I think it's because they were about to switch shifts. It was hard to find someone to help us for a while, but once the second server came around, they were really helpful. A great spot to check out if you're in the area for lunch, dinner, or even happy hour! ”
“ Kennedy was incredible. Ask for her. She gave us some great recommendations. West coast panini Baked potato soup was super good ”
“ Came here on a weeknight. The place is clean with a creative and trendy vibe. The server was very nice and helpful. They have an extensive menu which took some time to peruse. We finally decided on a prickly pear marg and moscato for drinks, bruschetta flight which gives you four flavors, and Italian Beef Deep Panini. Prickly Pear Marg- Sweet and fruity with a slightly tart finish. It was pretty strong alcohol-wise. Moscato- This one was refreshing and sweet. I could barely tell I was drinking alcohol with how light it was. Paired nicely with the bruschetta flight. Bruschetta Flight: Brie Apple and Fig Spread- This was one of my favorites! Bread was soft with a light exterior crisp. The apple slices were sweet and juicy and offset the creamy brie well. The fig spread tied the flavors together. Proscuitto de Parma, Fig, and Marscapone- Proscuitto was nice and savory, the fig had a deep flavor and the marscapone provides a creamy base to meld the flavors. Very tasty! Burrata, Bacon, Arugula, and Tomato- This was more on the savory side. I enjoyed the burrata and bacon together. The arugula and tomato gives it a hint of freshness. Salame and Pesto- This was a simpler fare. I did like the salame and it worked well with pesto. Italian Beef Dip- The bread was soft inside and crunchy outside. The beef was savory and tender. An au jus dip was provided. Had a great time overall! Would like to come back to try the rest of their menu. ”
“ Postino is an absolute gem, especially if you're a wine lover! Their wine selection is impressive, offering something for every palate, and the food is just as memorable. However, a little tip: if you're not a fan of fig jam, make sure to let them know beforehand. The bruschetta board is an absolute must-try, it comes with four slices, and you get to pick your toppings, which means four chances to indulge in something amazing. Let me tell you, every single one I tried was beyond delicious! What makes it even better is that each slice is pre-cut into four smaller pieces, so with four different bruschettas, you're essentially getting 16 delightful bites to share (or not!). We also ordered the Caesar salad with shrimp, and it was perfect for sharing since they thoughtfully served it in two separate dishes. It made things so easy and enjoyable for the two of us. Now, the prosciutto and brie panini, while delightful in concept was a bit heavy on the sweet fig jam for our taste. But here's where Postino really shines, their customer service! When we mentioned that the sweetness was a bit much after just a couple of bites, our waiter didn't hesitate to fix it. They brought us a new panini without the jam, and let me tell you, it was divine! The atmosphere here is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a gathering or a romantic evening. And if you're into cocktails, you'll find plenty to love, too. Just be warned: you might find yourself staying longer than planned! A quick pro tip, don't forget to reserve a table because this place is always buzzing with happy energy. If you're all about good vibes, great wine, and food that hits all the right notes, Postino is the spot for you! ”
“ I had a great experience, thanks to Kennedy! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. She went above and beyond, highly recommend her as a server! ”
“ Place was about 3/4 full tonight about 7pm. We were sat comfortably in the back away from the open air windows. One wall was decorated in 80s stereo faces which I really liked. Now onto service. It was mostly good they seemed really busy. Leaving a tip on the machine in front of the server was a bit awkward. Onto the food. Prosciutto panini on the other bread (not ciabatta) was absolutely fantastic. I got the tomato soup with it which is why I went to this location to begin with. ”
“ I come here 2-3 times a month on average. Absolutely love this place! Tried it because of a work happy hour and now I come back with all my friends to enjoy. I rave constantly about the amazing happy hour at Postino. $5 pitchers of beer and $6 glasses of wine?? Amazing. Now pair that with the bruschetta boards- WOW. The perfect after work experience. Don't have time after work? No worries1 they also have an after 8pm deal on mondays and Tuesdays! A board and bottle of wine for $25! And don't even get my started on the variety of bruschettas. I've tried them all and none disappoint. My fave are the bacon burrata, artichoke, apple and Brie, and spicy fig jam. Paninis are great too- I always get the chicken pesto on focaccia. The focaccia is soooo delicious. The meatballs and potatoes are also must haves for appetizers. For dessert, you'll want to get the donuts. 12/10 experience with service, food/ drinks, and ambiance! I will always come back :) ”
“ Postinos is my jam. As someone that lived in AZ for a long time...gotta love Postinos. It is your go to if you like good wine and charcuterie boards. We were in the area to go dining at a Mediterranean restaurant. When I saw the Postinos sign it was love at first sight. I had to go in. First of all, it was before 5pm which meant Happy Hour!!! They have $6 specials in several wines and pitcher of beer for your day drinkers. As soon as I stepped into this establishment, I felt like I was back in AZ. Anyway...had to order a bruschetta board to share with favorite gals. We also sipped on some white wine. I had the white blend and also the Pinot Grigio. My bestie drank the Moscato. We throughly enjoyed our time spent here. Only downside is that the bruschetta toast was toasted slightly too much on one batch. Overall, it was delicious experience and the service was great. Love how retro the decor was for this establishment. Next time I am in the area, I will be returning. ”
“ Picture this, a perfect date night spot with the most stunning bruschetta boards. I've seen amazing photos of this place and heard great things and last night, I finally got to experience it for myself. To celebrate my one year wedding anniversary, we decided to come here and let me tell you, we were not disappointed. Our server that night was Tizanna(?) and she was fantastic! Super friendly, and great with recommendations. We ended up getting the bruschetta board with: brie apple, ghost pepper jam, french onion, and burrata. Every single one was so flavorful. The brie apple and ghost pepper jam were my favorite because of it's sweet and savoriness. Aside from that, we also had the meatballs, burrata, and skewer snacky things. Of the three, the skewers were my top fav. Our server also recommended a great wine selection for me, as I'm someone who isn't familiar with wine. Let me tell y'all, the wine was so good I almost considered buying a bottle to take home. Fun fact, any wines listed on their menu is purchasable for $20 to take home! Such a great way to celebrate something special at a lowkey date spot. ”
