Yuminess: 10/10 Allergy Safety: 10/10…read morePrice: 9/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Overall: LOVE Postino! The food is over the moon delicious with plenty of options and reasonable serving sizes. Even with the slightly high price point, it is well worth every penny. And they take allergies SO seriously! Literally went through a bunch of ingredients to find what would and wouldn't be dairy-allergy safe. Atmosphere is fun but cozy, too. 100% recommend! In-depth: Postino has quickly become one of my favorite places in the CLT area after my 10/10 experience here. To start, the food. My word, it's amazing! Everything my friend and I tried was delicious. The bruschetta is 100% worth trying (the spinach artichoke one is my favorite), and the west coaster panini + romaine salad was tasty at every bite. Their wine is also good quality, with a decent-sized portion poured. Allergy safety is a major thing for them, too. Our server (Lee = the best waitress!) and her manager looked through their bread and ingredients for about 30 minutes to confirm what was and wasn't dairy safe (I asked how dairy allergies are handled for when I bring my husband next time). They also had quite a few gluten-free options, too. The manager explained that she wants people to be able to just come in and relax for a few hours without worrying if they'll get sick, which I truly, truly appreciate. Lee shared a similar sentiment, which was amazing. Now price... Yes, it is a *bit* pricey, but it is well worth it. Nothing felt lacking as far as flavor goes, and the allergy safety is a huge thing. This is one of the few places I felt my sandwich and salad were worth every penny, even if it was $17. Also, their rewards program is great. I got a free bruschetta board, and they offer several other perks. Make sure to sign up before or while dining there to get some good deals! In addition to their sincere care for allergy safety, the service is fantastic all around. They do group service, meaning you'll have several servers, and they encourage you to grab anyone if you have questions. This takes the pressure off of waiting for one server to walk by and really helped me relax. And the atmosphere? I could stay there all day! It's a really fun vibe, but the lighting and seating are very cozy. Overall, I've already recommended this place to 5+ people and will be returning soon

It currently offers free parking for 3 hours and incremental of 1- 2 hours paid parking after. My wife and I came here on a date night. While her original visit left more than be desired management invited us to give them a second try and I'm so glad we did. We had an amazing time from start to finish. The staff was amazing and I was astounded by their dedication to their craft. The best part was the food. We started with the chefs board which had an array of cheeses and spreads. The most memorable was the whipped feta. OMG. The Ambiance was the only thing I feel could use some tuning as there's not enough sound deadening to make the music out? It sounds like a heart beat and makes it hard to make out conversations. Major shout out to Leigh for taking care of us all night and making it a memorable night. Also big thanks to Odhie for the tickets to the concert. This was definitely a night to remember. Thank you Postinos Staff!

I ordered the Korean tacos and the quinoa and kale. My husband got the parmesan and garlic wings with cheese and bacon fries. The food took quite some time to come out. I saw them bringing bags of frozen fries and frozen wings but I tried to stay positive. When the food came out it was hot but the fries were not good. The cheese tasted cheap and there was no salt on the fries. The wings were not good either. They had a really good flavor but the wing texture was off. The quinoa and kale salad was not good. There was no seasoning and no flavor and the quinoa was hard. My husband and I will probably never eat here again but will definitely come back for the drinks and live music. Today all of the wine was half off so that was a plus.

Our group of 11 experienced good service at the beginning, but it fizzled after drinks were served. The food was quite delightful and the ambiance was perfect for a birthday.

As for the food, salmon was served well done and we were not asked how we like it prepared therefore several people felt it was overcooked, Overall taste was good but you should request blackened if hoping for more flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by the burrata salad. It's simple yet the drizzle elevates the tomato and bread effortlessly. Everyone was pleased. My only request is to train the staff on how to split the birthday meal across checks. Most restaurants have an easy way to do this.

Maybe it was an off night or they were too busy, but items were overcooked or fried stuff tasted the same (and like it came from an old vat of oil). It was really underwhelming and we could hardly eat any of it - even the teenager who generally eats anything without question paused and left food untouched. We'll likely try again but def going to avoid fried stuff (which I get is easy and generally the best for this kind of atmosphere but it was lackluster at best). Drinks were fine but refills on soft drinks took awhile or never came. The staff was hustling but they maybe need more on the weekend evenings to keep things moving and comfortable

The salted butter was definitely my favorite with the bread but it was fun to try the sweet maple cinnamon butter and savory fresh herb butter. Our food arrived lightning fast. Unfortunately the kitchen was out of apples, which would have added a nice crunch and tang to the salad, but I just sipped my drink (which was not lavender forward) to get that "bite" instead.
