Went on a date with my girlfriend 3 days ago and the server that we had wasn't very attentive and took a long time to come back and take our orders. She took a long time to come back that we had enough time to play connect 4 on our phone. We saw her in the back taking pictures while we were waiting for her. Other than that it was an okay first experience. Thank you to the gentleman that got the flower for me! The food was good 7/10. read more

First time trying Postino's after hearing so much about it! Starting with the ambiance, it was great inside with plenty of seating, and I loved the layout. The service was super nice and helpful as well. Of course, I ordered the bread board. I love that you can try so many different flavors, and all the ones I got tasted great. My favorite was the pepper jam and goat cheese. I also ordered the burrata, which tasted awesome. The board is great for sharing and filled me up pretty quickly. read more

My wife and I ate here for the first time the other night. Greeting was friendly and seated promptly. Place has a nice, but noisy, vibe. Everyone that we came in contact with was friendly. Service was great! Enjoyed the menu as well. Received a free appetizer as it was our first time there. All food items were delicious, including a salad, which we split. My soup was outstanding, although candidly I can't remember exactly what it was, but super tasty. The beef and chicken skewers were my favorite, particularly the beef. No latte was odd, but coffee was good. Price was reasonable for this city. Nicely done! read more

Oh this is already so good, it just needs a little tightening and flow polish. Here's your version, cleaned up but still very you: What an absolute gem of a find. We're in Austin this weekend for the Foodieland festival and after being completely underwhelmed yesterday, we were on the hunt for actually good food and wine... enter Postinos. The place is quaint with a perfect wine bar vibe and great seating. We were greeted right away and the staff was genuinely so sweet. But let's be honest, the food stole the show. We had the bruschetta board and two paninis, and every single bite was competing with the last for best on the table. And the cherry on top? $6 glasses of delicious wine that carried us right through the meal. This place alone almost makes me sad to leave Austin tomorrow. read more

Met a friend for a happy hour here last week. This was my first time here and since the HH ends early (5pm) we got there earlier. They didn't have any discounts on food, only wine I believe. I liked that they had a decent size lot for parking! They had the World Cup game on so we could catch the tail end of it that day. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and guided us to the best wines on the HH menu and the hummus plate to share. The inside was nice, open, and well lit. And thankfully it wasn't so loud so we could easily hear each other speak. I will be adding this location to my list of central places to meet people in the future! read more

Food was tasty. Nice interior. Good service. No complaints. Had the sandwich and salad combo.

Postino consistently has amazing deals on wine and bruschetta boards as well as timely, friendly service. The atmosphere is dim lit and cozy even when packed with people. We arrived on an already busy late night and walked a bit past the host stand to find the bartender who kindly got us sat quickly. Our server showed us where the wine and boards were on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised that we got to choose 4 different bruschettas and a whole bottle of wine. We sampled some wine options before selecting the Albariño called Modulation. The bruschetta options have a wide variety. I have been back twice now and each time ordered my favorite - the brie, fig and apple. It pairs wonderfully with the Modulation! The burrata bacon arugula, pesto salami, and artichoke spread are some of my savory favorites. Every experience here has been delightful, Postino may just become a regular part of my Monday and Tuesday routine. read more

Date night...Postino Bryker Woods. My hubby and I decided to try this restaurant before we went on our quest for a washer and dryer (ours went kaput!). I had been to this restaurant but the hubs had not. We ordered the bruschetta board, roasted sweet potatoes and a glass of prosecco. The hubs rarely drinks. We try to do date once a week, but it does not always work out. We have workers in our home for the last two months, so it puts a damper on date night when they work into the evening. Tobias was our server, but he pointed out that he was interchangeable with any of the wait staff. He quickly took our order and then disappeared. Our food was ready in breakneck speed. Salmon, bacon and fig boards. All were delicious were filling with the sweet potatoes being a bonus. The prosecco was generously poured. We were extremely pleased with the food and drink. We look forward to visiting Postino Bryker Woods again soon. Also, now that the workers are gone, date nights are back on again! read more

Postino is always a little luxury I give myself -- wine and bread, what more could you ask for??! The Bruschetta Board is the star of the show. My personal favorites: 1. Sweet N' Spicy Pepper Jam & Goat Cheese 2. French Onion 3. Prosciutto di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone 4. Brie, Apple & Fig I had no idea I was such a fan of fig--but now I can't get enough! It balances the salty richness of the bread with just the right touch of sweetness. And I'm not typically a goat cheese girl, but you honestly can't even tell here -- the spicy pepper jam completely steals the show with that spicy, sweet, and tangy kick. read more

I was new to Postino, the chain that took over the long-abandoned Burger King. What an upgrade! Postino specializes in bruschetta and has a pretty extensive wine list, plus soups and other lunch-type options. I made a reservation for Sunday brunch and honestly didn't need one, it wasn't crowded at all. My guess is they're not the first place people think of for classic brunch fare like pancakes, breakfast tacos, and big egg plates. They did have French toast, scrambled eggs, and avocado toast on the menu if you're craving something breakfast-y. Happy hour runs until 5, so it's a great spot for slightly more affordable drinks and sharing snacks. It really feels like this place was built for happy hour. We ordered the chicken & mozzarella sandwich and the Italian beef dip. The beef dip came with a hot au jus and was the favorite at the table. The chicken sandwich was decent, but the chicken leaned a bit dry. It came with a spicy aioli, but could have used a bit more sauce or maybe a second spread to bring it together. Service was great! The staff was welcoming from the start and asked thoughtful questions like whether anyone had allergies. They were also very patient and accommodating with our party, which included older hearing-impaired parents. Overall, a really great experience and nice to have in the neighborhood. read more

I just love to have been able to come back and try more of their menu. Our large group was celebrating, so we had several boards to share. For lunch, I tried the West coaster panini, with minestrone soup instead of a salad. Everything was great. The service was very patient and friendly to our large group. It was a work group, so unfortunately no one was brave to order wine, but it goes to show you that this place caters to nondrinkers as well. read more

This was my second or third visit to this location since the Yelp events at both local spots. For a chain establishment, it sure has all the feels. The decor is warm and welcoming as are the staff. The bruschetta boards are amazeballs! The wine selection is incredible. My favorite offering is the late-night special Board & a Bottle $25. Can't beat it. Had Friendsmas celebration with dear friends met through Yelp! We had a blast exchanging gifts, eating, & drinking. Our server was so rad...because we were there to celebrate friendship for the holidays, she gave us an order of donuts on the house. What a sweet surprise! read more

Think of this place as more of a tapas place where you can share and try a lot of dishes! I really enjoyed that, specifically with friends when you want to sample a lot of items. They have cool bruschetta, loved the burrata, the meatballs (everyone raved about those), and the cheese board was great too. Service was great and plenty of opportunities to place orders. Docking a star for how loud the place is. Like... way too loud to have pleasant conversations with friends or a date. It was overwhelming. I would not come here if you want a relaxing dinner/hang, find a more quiet place. read more

I love postino and every time I come here I am reminded how much I enjoy it! The wine cult membership is no longer around. It's now bottle club I believe. They offer more options for people who wanted more variety. The club is well Worth the money. You get a few discounts and some cute items when joining the club (wine tote, wine stoppers, etc). I ordered bruschetta to go after work when I picked up my bottles and had amazing service from the people working (front check in table and manager). I can't wait to go back so I can try more of the menu! read more

Relaxing dim ambiance was a nice touch to dining and the friendly informed staff was excellent. They have a bar area and spacious dining but yet the place isn't huge and I like that. Parking is small but we found parking right away and we went on a late friday night. Food was served in a timely manner and was all so good. I had the bruschetta board. You can choose four types. I got the apple with brie, prosciutto, mozzarella with tomato and spicy pepper jam. We also ordered the OMG grilled cheese that comes with tomato soup. For dessert we had the donut holes but I call them an elevated funnel cake balls that weren't too sweet and so soft; they came with 3 dips. I definitely recommend this place and will return to try more to try. They have happy hour deals and a board & wine deal on mon and tues. read more

My bestie, my daughter and I dropped into Postino at 6 pm on a summer Saturday. We found seating right away, and ordered a couple of drinks while we finalized our dinner selections. They have a nice variety of wines by tbe glass, cocktails, and non alcoholic options. For dinner, we picked the Chef's Board (charcuterie), and a bruchetta board. I liked everything, but the bruchetta in particular. They had so many options, and everything was set up for sharing and tasting. For desert, we shared the brownie with ice cream - delish! This is a great place for a group with lots of great sharing options. It's casual, but somewhat refined. Is it the best restaurant in Austin? No. That bar is high. But this is a very solid hang out spot, and I will definitely be back. read more

I am a fan of Postino's. Compared to the Lamar location, this location has free parking, which is a bonus. The dining space is also larger. I already fell in love with their mushroom fondue on my first visit, so I already knew I couldn't go a visit without it. We also had 2 bruschetta boards with a variety of toppings and everything was delicious. The high rise sauv blanc is light and crisp. It did take a hot minute for the food to come out, but it was worth it. Our server was kind and attentive. We'll definitely be back! read more

Excellent service by nice. Sat on the patio this time and it was just the right amount of sunshine ambiance. Loved the portion size of the food and such a great presentation and quite delectable. Can't wait to come back. read more

Came here with reservation and seated at the round table with very cozy chair. Love! Came here with my son. This is the third Postino review for Yelp event I did! But this Postino has that classier cozier feel. We had the bruschetta board: choices---prosciutto, fig and mascarpione, smoked salmon with pesto, burrata, bacon arugula and tomato, fresh mozzarella with tomato and basil. Had the novia azul wine-smooth yet strong. We also ordered the smoked salmon board because this is one of my faves in Postino. Shout out to Matt as he was very pleasant---checked on us regularly. His service really made us feel at home! The notes you can write and stick on the wall was a nice touch. Clean restrooms with that almost Tuscan feel handwashing area. The lighting, food, wine and the service was superb. A little bit crowded---but not loud. Parking was not easy at peak times I gathered. read more

Let's see: Postino is what you'd expect from the current wave of "social dining" spots: it's airy, industrial but cozy, with a patio for when Texas weather decides to be cooperative. The wine list isn't mind-blowing, but the Antioch Red Zinfandel stole the show for me. It's fruit-forward and honestly the only red I'd go back for when dealing with "by the glass" options on the menu. Onto the bruschetta board: my options were (you get four) the artichoke, the Caprese , the date & pistachio with ricotta, and the mushroom with mascarpone. Flavor? Super solid. Everything you would expect from the combinations of flavors they put together. The caprese one could have used a balsamic drizzle or something, but I enjoyed my selections. The presentation, though? Tame. A little boring. And I'm used to sliced ciabatta for bruschetta, but the sort of rustic country bread slices they use are hearty and they hold up nicely to the toppings. Just know each slice of toast is very petite... then it's cut even smaller for sharing. Translation: don't come starving. Come to socialize and be cute. What I paid for: the potato leek soup was divine. It was creamy and savory with a lovely hit of caramelized onions. The hazelnut/peanut mousse bar was cute. It's made for more "solo indulgence" than for sharing because it is SO so small...which sucks cause it could be a good sexy sharable dessert for date nights but that size won't cut it Crushed hazelnuts on top would have also been nice. Parking? Slimmer than Kendall Jenner. Get creative and find spots adjacent or around the area during busy hours. They have quite a few spots to offer the public but this place is way too popular for the limited number of spaces. Happy Hour: this ends at 5:00 pm sharp. BOOOOOOO!!!! You know most of us get off at 5pm, right? Don't do that. People need at least an hour or two of extension time before dinner. Cmon. Be nice and extend happy hour. You're only going to make MORE MONEY with it. Shoutout to Madeline, my server. She was attentive, warm, and on point. And kudos to the sweet host with the long curly chestnut hair. Both made the night even better. Overall, Postino is a good option for late-night light bites, date nights, or a casual glass of wine and catching up with friends and S/Os. read more

This was my first time eating at a Postino's, and it was a wonderful experience! First win: plenty of handicap parking near the entrance. (Small detail, huge difference.) The friendly hostess greeted us right away and seated us immediately (we did have a reservation). The place looks great -- cool artwork. One thing I really loved was their community server system--it made us feel well cared for. We had Jo as our server, and honestly, she deserves a five-star review. She was funny, friendly, and knew the food and wine list like she wrote it. Our drinks never hit empty -- which, let's be real, is the true sign of greatness. Now the food... Out of the bruschetta lineup, the chef's street corn stole my heart. No, really. If it doesn't make the permanent menu, I might cry. We also got Nick's Board (total yumminess) and the OMG Grilled Cheese with tomato soup dip, which had me saying exactly that: OMG. I had absolutely no room left for dessert, so I took their doughnut holes to go. Reheated days later, they were still very tasty! My husband liked the wine, and we basically ate and drank ourselves into fat happiness. Bottom line: great food, great people, great vibes. Postino's is officially on our regular rotation. read more

We were able to swing by during their Happy Hour and sample the bruschetta board, cauliflower, and a few glasses of wine. The board was large enough and toasts were cut for sharing - we selected the artichoke, brie, mushroom, and pistachio - and they were all delish. As veg-forward folks we enjoyed the cauliflower too - the sauce was buffalo-leaning but creamier! And we had to try the donut dots - it wasn't anything too wild but was a fun treat at the end of our meal - piping hot donuts. The team works in groups and we always had someone stopping by to check on us. They were so kind about helping with a wine selection, too. We will be back. Tips: *plenty of parking *$25 bottle of wine + board Mondays and Tuesdays after 8pm *You can make a reservation. It wasn't too full at Happy Hour before 5, but was pretty full even on a Monday after 5pm read more

Postino is a charming spot located along 35th St! There's a parking lot right out front, which is really convenient. We came on a Sunday around 11:15 am and were seated pretty much immediately. The restaurant interior is modern and spacious, with lots of natural light that created a refreshing ambiance. Our server was also very attentive in checking on us throughout the meal. Prosciutto & Brie Panini ($16, 4.5/5) - Classic combination of savory with some sweetness! Features prosciutto, brie, fig jam, arugula, with side of romaine salad or potato chips. The arugula adds just a bit of bitterness to balance everything out. - You can choose between ciabatta and focaccia - we went with focaccia which was delicious! - On the pricier end for a sandwich but the ingredients are very fresh. Overall, would recommend checking out Postino! Great location, service, and solid food. Looking forward to coming back & trying other items on the menu. read more

Our meal at Postino was an absolute delight, perfect for sharing and trying a wide range of flavors. Big shout out to Madeline who was our incredible host during our Saturday brunch here. One of the guests in our party is gluten sensitive, and she was able to accommodate and gave us great gluten-free options recommendations. We started with the Skewers from the Snacks menu, which was truly amazing and set a high bar for the rest of the meal. Skewers came with both beef filet mignon cut and white chicken; both were seasoned and booked to perfection. Very moist and paired well with the garlicy and tangy yogurt sauce. The main event was the bruschetta board. We ordered five different kinds, all came with gluten free bread (great gluten free bread compare to others we've tried) : - The smoked salmon was elegant and fresh. - The prosciutto with fig and mascarpone was a perfect sweet and savory combination. It was our favorite of the 5. - The French onion was a rich and comforting classic. I somehow expected a little bit more from the simple dish, so I was underwhelmed. - The burrata with bacon, tomato, and arugula offered a creamy yet refreshing bite. - We of course had to go with the chef's choice " Mexican corn", which was a creative and delicious surprise. It has a bit of a kick as you can expect. Not your traditional bruschetta as you expect so order with an open mind and palette. We also appreciated that the kids' menu offers. My son had the Grilled Cheese, which was a big step up from the usual and he loved it. Bread is thin and crunchy. It comes with fruits and incredible chips. They also offer amazing happy hour for their wine by the glass or by the bottles! Glad we gave it a try and would definitely come back. read more

Our second time at Postino. First visit was early spring, was hoping for vegan additions to the menu but not the case. Worked around it. They do have a great cauliflower appetizer that is big enough to share and comes with a sauce. Would be great if they featured a vegan soup and/or vegan bruschetta. Vegans shouldn't be relegated to "the salad". Had to order the caprese sandwich without the mozzarella. Wish they had a creative vegan sandwich like other places in Austin. Ambiance is fun, service is attentive. read more

Absolutely an amazing experience once again. I love that the parking lot looks packed, but the restaurant was not. There's plenty of parking space for everyone and the staff was so kind. The ambience and the atmosphere of this particular location I did like. It felt a little more intimate than the other location. The staff was extremely nice and so kind. I love my bubbly and I ordered a few more along with of course, providing a tip. I can't wait to take my friends here for some glass of wine before five so that we can celebrate and enjoy life together drinking on a budget. The food was also tasty as ever. I have some picky friends, but I think they would do OK here. I look forward to coming back and ordering more food and just enjoying the atmosphere. read more

The menu was so full of items we love!! We had to try several things and they were all fantastic. We started with the Olives and a Crispy Cauliflower, which had the most delicious Romesco sauce. So well balanced-kissed with sultana raisins and capers. Likely the BEST snacks items we've ever eaten! My dining partner chose Nick's Board-NICK'S BOARD includes a warm soft pretzel, italian sausage, spanish pork link, creamy pimento cheese, spicy peruvian corn nut, sweety drop pepper, & packo pickle. It was a fairly conservative choice but ended up being the perfect choice for someone's palate that prefers non spicy food! (however I must warn you the two pickle slices that were absolutely fabulous and had a heat level of about nine out of 10 were delicious as well)! Our host Michael, our server Ellie and the bartender Kira were all so special , & sweet and gave us incredibly good service. read more

Postino on 35th is new and it's already a hit. Happy hour is unbeatable with $24 bottles of wine and $6 glasses every day until 5 PM even on Sundays. Came in Friday late afternoon and Amiri at the bar crushed it with service and hospitality, friendly, quick, and spot on with wine recommendations. The charcuterie board was fresh, generous, and a perfect pairing. Great spot to end the week with good wine, tasty bites, and top notch service. Can't sit to come back and try more bites! Also, a great laptop/work posting up spot!! read more

Postino Bryker Woods - Wine Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Our first time here. We really liked the atmosphere and enjoyed our visit but there are a couple things that I think they can improve upon. The room is somewhat loud, but not excessive. We had a glass of wine and bruschetta board, Meatballs and goat cheese appetizer, and the Italian beef dip panini. Service was friendly and attentive at first, but our server was extremely quiet and we had a hard time hearing him. After our food arrived, we didn't see him again for a very long time. When we were ready to leave, we still had to wait about 10 minutes before we saw him to get our check and to go containers. We ordered two glasses of wine. My choice was the Stage Dive Pinot Noir. Unfortunately, my dining companion had to order 4 different wines because they were out of his first three choices. Onto the food. The meatballs were the best dish we had. The meatballs were nice and tasty, and the sauce was delicious. The dish arrived in an iron skillet and was very warm but could have been hotter. The Bruschetta Board was good, too, but they had to remake one of the bruschetta because it was dropped in the kitchen. The sweet and spicy pepper jam could have been spicier. The most disappointing item was the Italian beef dip. The meat and au jus were barely above room temp, and the bread was cold. Pictures look as though it's a grilled hot sandwich, but it was not. I'm not sure if it's their intention to serve this cold, but it was not appetizing. This meal could have easily been a high 4, low 5 star rating, but temperature issues and not having a full wine list on a Saturday night are really not acceptable. Fix those issues, and this place can be a fun and delicious destination read more

Been to the South Lamar location and was excited to check out their second location! No parking garage this time, but they still serve the same delicious bruschettas and drinks. The French onion bruschetta actually didn't appeal to me but once I tried it, this was the absolute best! I'm so glad we got this one. If there is only one you MUST try, it's the French onion. Hazelnut bar for dessert. This was realllly sweet. It's like ferrero rocher on top of chocolate. Not for me. Bruschettas are amazing though and I will be back!! read more

Love! Ive been here a few times now and it's been consistent. This restaurant is a little bigger than the previous one I've been to and the vibes are so nice inside. I would consider this a place for light bites and sandwiches. The board was overall really good and the sandwich had a lot of meat in it. I really liked that it came with fries or a salad too. Prickly pear lemonade is good, I definitely want to come back for some wine. Staff was really nice and friendly, no complaints here. read more

I felt so spoiled being here! Every single thing we ordered was absolutely incredible. The fillet and chicken skewers with the tzatziki sauce was absolute flavor burst. The shrimp scampi was very different from what I expected because there was no garlic butter sauce to dip my bread into, but it was still really good. The donut holes with the chocolate and caramel sauce were absolute melt in your mouth and last, but not the least that Bruschetta board was absolutely phenomenal. We got the smoked salmon, the date pistachio, the tomato mozzarella, and the fig apple and they were all absolutely amazing. Our servers were so fun and amazing! They learned that it was my friend's birthday and got us a free birthday dessert. They also really made it a point to check on us every 10 minutes, which was very kind. The space was also absolutely adorable! I will definitely come back here read more

Postino is among my top restaurants in Austin. I usually go to their South Lamar location, and I was happy to find this new location. The quality is the same. The bruschetta board is a must. Every flavor is good. I come back to Postino only because of the bruschetta board. Wine selection is extensive, but I'm not a wine expert so I can't comment much. read more

My husband and I came here for our yelp elite event. Our waiter Adrian was very nice and welcoming. We each got drinks and 4 bruschettas each. We are vegetarians, so we got the vegetarian bruschettas (everything in the bruschetta menu that had no meat ) Everything was very tasty, fresh ingredients and well toasted bread. I loved every single one, except the mushroom one, that was a little too salty for my liking. But overall, it was a really pleasant visit here, will definitely come back to try other stuff on their menu!! read more

Matt and Lily are the best!! Seriously the BEST. We had a group of 15 for a game night and they were so helpful when dealing with the craziness of us moving around!

Will definitely be hosting again soon! read more

While the newly renovated space is really nice, there was much to be improved upon. We were in earlyish, 6:30 and it was not too busy. Perhaps this was a problem as the service was really poor and a bit frustrating. Our waiter was on the spot to begin and covered the menu and took our drink orders. Return with drinks, we ordered our meal and that was the last we saw of him for most of the rest of the night. I had to go to the bar to get another drink and even then he continued to chat with a person seated at the bar. It must have been another 3 or four minutes staring at my drink ready to serve, ugh Food was Ok ish, not super, not bad, well presented, so that was a plus. I will go back but not on date night or business as I am not sure what will have changed Just a little disappointed in the slow, indifference of the staff, and the food is not enough to compell me to wait for unorganized service. OK-ish.... Could be better, hope they are next time read more

The girls and I came here to indulge in their "Board + Bottle" night: a board of bruschetta and a bottle of wine for $25 after 8 PM on Monday and Tuesday. We came on a Monday right at 8pm and it was packed, but we did have a reservation and were promptly seated and taken care of. Our server was very attentive and friendly, giving us space to look at the menu and offering recommendations. I wish I remembered his name but he said he worked at the Postino up in Dallas and I could tell he was very familiar with the brand. I ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio from Italy and a board with the "French Onion" "Smoked Salmon & Pesto" "Burrata, Bacon, & Arugula" and the "Chef's Choice" (which was hummus and bruschetta). I would order the Burrata one and Salmon one again, the brie on the French Onion was quite overwhelming for me, but the taste was good when I took off the brie. I can't wait to come back! I love this location way more than South lamar. Parking is free and the interior of this place is gorgeous and spacious. read more
