Bruschetta Board
Stephany S.

This is my third time at a Postino location so I knew the food would be good in a quirky setting. They always have some different items on their long wall in the rear of their place and at this location, they had a collection of old roller skates hanging up. Fun! For our meal, I chose a Bruschetta board with 4 different options (all fresh and flavorful). My partner chose the Italian Beef dip panini. Service was quick and our waitress was friendly.

Stopped by needing some fuel after a long flight into town. It had a nice buzz to it. The boards were very popular but big so we didn't border it for the table. Instead I got the pick two with a half a French drip sandwich and potato soup. The soup was the clear winner. Chock full of potato and bacon, it was just perfect for a cool fall day. The sandwich was fine. The au just a bit bland. Service was good though it took a bit to get our drinks. Cozy interior. A good place for lunch for sure.

The service is prompt and pleasant. The atmosphere is very casual and comfortable and a busy. There's a limited selection of craft brews. My IPA was smooth and offered a hint of citrus that was pleasantly subtle.

Bruschetta

Excellence place to get a snack and a drink. Upscale atmosphere. The bruschetta is amazing. Service is very friendly.

House made chips were great.  I think we ate them all!

A photo of the OMG Grilled Cheese and soup is what brought us here and we were not disappointed! I'm not a brie fan, but I quite enjoyed it nonetheless. Worked great with the tomato soup. The housemade Ruffles-style chips were great - not greasy or too salty like Ruffles. We also ordered a Bruschetta board as we didn't realize how much food that would be for the 2 of us. Doh! So we didn't finish all the choices but the Salami and Pesto was the favorite of each of us.

Back to my home town on the way back from RMNP. Thanks to fellow Yelpies for doing a recent review for this location and wanted to try out for myself. I Still had fond memories of my visit to Postino on Colorado Blvd (Postino9CO) during Yelp event. Got the Bruschetta Board (choose 4). A smoked salmon and also two other options. $6 glass of wine till 5 pm everyday was a crowd pleaser. Loved the cab served cold. Didn't take much time to warm up either. $6 pitcher of beer till 5 pm was also an eye catcher. I think you can get two pints out of it. Overall, awesome ambiance, fast and friendly service. Drink and food served on timely basis. Definitely will be back and will even try going back to Postino9CO location.

Postino's is unique, fun, and delicious! Great prices and specials for happy hour including $6 glasses of wine and pitchers of beer, and $25 combo deal with a bottle of wine and a board! Friendly staff and drinks and food come out super fast! The ambiance was super chill and fun vibes. Right in the heart of Pearl Street! There is street parking all around the area was not difficult to find. Just a few minutes from the hikes. Highly recommend!

Raspberry Chicken Salad

We stopped by Postino in Boulder for brunch around 10:30 AM on a Sunday. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty quiet, with only 1 or 2 other tables occupied. Despite that, we were told that they cannot seat parties of 5 or more on the patio, which struck us as a strange policy, especially given how empty it was. Something to keep in mind if you're hoping for a larger outdoor brunch gathering. Service: 2.5/5 Our experience started off promising while the restaurant was still quiet. But as it got busier, service noticeably dropped off. Our server disappeared for long stretches, and it became difficult to flag anyone down. On top of that, we received two incorrect orders, which is concerning given that the restaurant wasn't slammed at the time. I'm not sure if the errors were due to the server or the kitchen, but either way, mistakes like this during a relatively slow period are hard to excuse. The unwillingness to allow a basic substitution (more on that below) also added to the frustration. Drinks: Mimosa, 3/5 Classic and as expected. Refreshing but nothing standout. Espresso Martini, 2.5/5 A bit of an odd flavor I couldn't quite place. Not terrible, but not something I'd order again. Food: Bruschetta Board, 5/5 Shareable, fresh, and flavorful. You get to choose 4 options, we picked: Brie, apple & fig spread - Excellent Prosciutto, fig & mascarpone - Excellent Burrata, bacon, arugula & tomato - Solid, but I'd try a different one next time Spicy sweet potato - Seasonal special and very tasty... though we were given the seasonal dessert option by mistake instead, so had to fix this. West coaster panini, 2/5 Ingredients sounded promising, but the execution fell flat. Nothing memorable, and the side couldn't be subbed for tots (even with a surcharge), which felt unnecessarily rigid. PREAM bowl with steak, 5/5 (eventually) Delicious when it arrived, but we were first brought the chicken version, so we had to wait about 10 extra minutes for the correct order. The steak itself was tender and flavorful. Would absolutely order again (correctly the first time, hopefully!). Raspberry chicken salad, 3/5 Decent, fresh, and as advertised. Not much more to say, just not a standout. Meatball shakshouka, 5/5 A pleasant surprise from the brunch menu. Rich flavors, tender meatballs, and those house-made tots are so good. One of the best dishes we tried. Overall: 3/5 Postino has a solid brunch menu with some great dishes. I'd definitely consider coming back for the food alone. However, the overall experience was marred by inconsistent service, order errors, and some odd inflexibility with seating and substitutions. If they can smooth out those issues, it has the potential to be a go-to brunch spot in Boulder. But as it stands, it's a bit of a mixed bag.

Bruschetta board - date/pistachio, sweet pepper jam, caprese & spinach artichoke.

Delicious! We shared a bruschetta board and a bloody Mary and everything was great. We showed up shortly after they opened on a weekend before it got too busy. Friendly server. Highly recommend!

board and bottle night!

Postino on board and bottle nights are the most fun with friends!!! Marraye was so helpful, friendly, and fast. Our group was very big but she didn't get anything wrong and was so kind even when we wanted to split the check 7 ways. We'll be asking for her again next time we come! Alex also kept on top of our table, made sure things were cleared out of the way promptly, and was so friendly.

We have lived in the area now for over 13 years now and have heard about this James Beard award…read morewinning restaurant for all that time and for some reason just never dropped in. Well we remedied that last night for our 34th anniversary and realized just what we have overlooked. To start with the service was simply great, attentive but not cloying like many of the Michelin rated we have visited. They all worked together like you would expect from this level of place and knew the menu and wines that were paired with the detail of a seasoned sommelier. The food was simply sublime and creative. Every aspect worked to make each dish special without that awkward "experimentive" feel that some chefs end up with when trying too hard to be original. As a rated restaurant the menu will change often so I'll not bore you with details of each course. The Shrimp Salsiccia or sausage was original and a delight as well as the Tonno bluefin tuna antipasti. The Tagliatelle with braised veal and the Wyagu ravioli dishes perfect, filled with delightful character. The same experience with our Black Cod and grilled venison Secondi dishes. And the wine pairings worked perfectly with each course so if you don't know wines just take advantage of their obvious expertise. Not being dessert lovers we could not pass on those clever and singular offerings as well. It was a fairly quiet Easter evening and the ambience was soothing and comfortable. We couldn't have been happier to spend our special day any where else! Needless to say we will be back a lot more often. When the Michelin folks finally arrived in our out of the way city they could not have chosen a better place to drop that star!

Last evening, I took my husband to Frasca Food and Wine for a special chef's dinner, Seline--a…read morethoughtfully composed tasting where food felt less like a meal and more like an expression of art. The menu was sublime, and the wine pairings were nothing short of extraordinary. Two dishes, in particular, stood out: the short rib, deeply rich and perfectly executed, and the green garlic, artichoke, and eucalyptus "cigar," which was as imaginative as it was delicious. I could have happily dined on those alone. For me, it was a culinary escape--refined, inventive, and memorable. Unfortunately, the experience was not as enjoyable for my husband. While the menu was ambitious and beautifully curated, it leaned heavily toward seafood and white wines, neither of which suit his palate. Compounding this, we were seated at a communal table of eight. While that setting can be delightful with the right group, the close quarters and ambient noise made it difficult for him to follow conversation, given his limited hearing. As a result, he missed much of the experience that makes a dinner like this so special. In hindsight, a preview of the menu and notice of the communal seating would have allowed for a better pairing of expectations--perhaps even a different dining choice or a more adventurous companion. That said, the restaurant's hospitality was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond in their efforts to accommodate us, even offering to comp the evening--an offer I could not accept. Despite its imperfections, it was an experience worth having and one I will remember. A night where cuisine became art--though, like all art, not every piece resonates the same way with every audience..

We also had excellent and attentive service, and the owner even came by and introduced himself. Unfortunately, our food was hit or miss. For appetizers, the Rösti (potato pancake) was decadent, well presented, and delicious. The French onion soup was also delicious with a nice depth of flavor, but the pastry looked a little anemic, and I'm not sure it really "goes" with French onion soup. The Vienna schnitzel dish was a mixed bag. The mashed potatoes were very good, but the schnitzel itself was a disappointment. There was a too-thick layer of very bland bread crumbs, and the veal was very thin, not very tender, and pretty much flavorless. The chicken marsala, on the other hand, was extremely flavorful. The sauce with the onions and mushrooms was delicious, and the orzo was perfect. The only problem I had with this dish is that they used chicken thigh instead of breast. I would have preferred breast because I like leaner meat. It was also overly charred in a few places. The combination of chicken fat and char left an unpleasant taste in my mouth. The desserts were fine but a little bit bland, except for the chiboust that came with the chocolate mousse (it had a really nice flavor). I wasn't a fan of having the nut dust or whatever it was sprinkled over the mousse dessert--it ruined the smooth mouthfeel of the mousse. I'd definitely like to return to Vinca because overall I enjoyed my visit, but I'll try some different dishes and see what else they have to offer!

I had high hopes after researching this place online and on Yelp for both of their locations, with…read morepictures. Very little of what we were served tonight lived up to those expectations. It's was quite sad considering the amount we spent. The portions on all but the delicious fall salad were much smaller than the appeared in pix and descriptions. For starters, the happy hour house wines which were only marginally tasty have an asterisk on their online menu stating that the wine glasses are elegant and oversized. The amount of sips I took in no way added up to the supposed 5oz pour. I have to measure fluids medically and I know well how 5oz swallows. This was about 3.5. We ordered some of happy hour plates that had been advertised on Downtown Boulder as $9 plates. There was only one on the menu. The rest of the tiny number of items were at $11 which is still a good value if offered. There were only 4 offers on starters and one "sweet" but more about the sweet later. We ended up paying full price for the rest of our starters. The first picture I found online of the arancini appeared to be baked with the mushroom risotto grains visible. What showed up on our plate were small arancini balls heavily coated in breadcrumbs and heavily fried. Not unusual and why I rarely order. So nothing special but for the tasty but tiny duck center. The Rösti was also not as pictured or described and covered with crumb or batter darkly fried onion tidbits , not sprinkled with fresh grated parm as in the pictures . We found no lingonberry berries or jam in it either but the potato base was tasty. We ordered the autumn salad and it was great. A good sized bowl of fresh greens with lots of the promised ingredients, but at full price, not happy hour. The happy hour sweet was the pictured and heralded apple strudel paired with a cappuccino . We ordered so my husband could have the cappuccino and we could share the strudel. The cappuccino came immediately and eventually we had to ask for the strudel as the drink was mostly done and cold. Someone brought the tiny bit out on a plate with more whipped cream than strudel with excuse that they did not realize we wanted them together ( they were described as a pairing) and they needed to "bake" the strudel (was it frozen or refrigerated). We each had a bite of the apple filling with a simple cover of pastry, hardly a strudel which involves " layers" of pastry but it clearly was handmade and it tasted nice. My husband ate the cream as I can't. During the visit, the nice server we started with went on break and her substitute was not much interested. The place was nearly empty on a Saturday night at happy hour with a jam packed Pearl St Mall further west. Sadly they are next door to a fading and empty eatery. I doubt they can survive. The turnover in this space has been extremely high. I was hoping for more with such a unique menu for Pearl. If you go, choose wisely, note that some staff are unaware of the advertised time of the happy hour and had to go check before serving us another item. And also know that the billing tablet is preloaded with 23% tip as standard "center" option not the customary 20% or 18% as most other places on Pearl. We are not likely to go back given these issues so plan ahead with the menu and watch the clock. As others have mentioned, the decor and music were fine. No pix of the dessert because I was distracted by then. After overnight reconsideration I am rounding my admittedly 2.5 down rather than up as before. There is so much more value in taste and service elsewhere on Pearl. I have had plenty of good European food and plenty of good service in restaurants in downtown Boulder for decades. This wasn't it. It was telling that only 5 tables occupied on a holiday weekend as we walked past many full places on the way here. I will not return .

Great service too and our server was super helpful in recommendations for both food and drinks. However, everything was definitely quite pricey for what we got. Though every ounce of food was delicious and top quality, the meal was definitely a splurge and more of a once-in-awhile treat.
