    Bruschetta Board
    Ai T.

    This is one of my favorite postino's locations whenever I'm in the area. The food always consistently tasted great! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. My favorite drink is forever the Honey Cucumber lemonade. So refreshing and is the perfect drink for Arizona weather. I always do the bruschetta board. Honestly the main reason I keep coming back to postino is because of their Bruschetta board. All the other food on the menu taste great but you can find in other restaurants. But the Board is what sets Postino apart from the others. My favorite is the burrata & tomato. The tomato is just tasted amazing, the seasoning and the juice that the tomatoes marinated in is just soo good! Then topped off with a little bit of crunch from the bacon. Next is the prosciutto and fig. The prosciutto is always consistent with the high quality meat, has a slight salty and savory taste and complimented by the light sweetness from the fig and creaminess from mascarpone. Last is the Brie and apple. I always love this one because it's the perfect slice to end the meal like a dessert. The apple is crisp and refreshing, with the creaminess from the Brie. This location has plenty of seating at the bar, inside and outside.

    What an excellent location. As someone who gets overstimulated pretty easily, this restaurant is perfect because the lights aren't very bright and it's pretty low-sensory. The food was delicious and I will always recommend the charcuterie boards and a bottle of wine at an average price of around $25. The service was quick and the waiter made excellent recommendations based on our taste buds.

    Postino Central is a popular wine cafe located in the Windsor Square Historic District in Phoenix and Postino has multiple locations in Arizona, California (Irvine and San Diego), Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The building this cafe is sitting at used to be home to a famous Jewish delicatessen Katz's Deli. [Parking]: It was difficult to find available parking on Sunday night and the small designated rear parking lot was completely packed. Luckily, one of the local streets (W Medlock Dr near JINYA Ramen Bar) allows free street parking on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. [Atmosphere]: The wine bar was bustling with a crowd and I can see this as one of those places for a romantic date, a girls' night out, or hanging out with friends. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items include Smoked Salmon (the Boards) and the Nine Iron Panini. Customers can also build their own bruschetta board by choosing four options with Yelp highlighted items including Warm Artichoke Spread, Brie & Apple Fig Spread, Burrata Bacon + Arugula & Tomato, and Prosciutto di Parma + Fig & Mascarpone. For paninis, customers have the option to select two - any half panini, half salad, or half soup. Paninis come with either ciabatta or focaccia. *** Smoked Salmon (cold and hot smoked salmon, whipped feta, cucumber, pickled onion, cornichons, crispy capers, baby caesar, crostini - $17): A very refreshing board and I liked the overall flavor profile. Nine Iron (smoked bacon, roasted chicken, fresh stracciatella, mixed greens, tomato, dijonnaise - focaccia $15.75): Crispy focaccia bread and overall an excellent savory sandwich. *** This is Los Angeles-quality food in Phoenix. A solid 4.5-star on food and bump up to 5-star due to the great atmosphere. P.S. - The restaurant allows customers to split the bill.

    Postinos will always have my heart. Went on a Saturday evening and right away found street parking. This never happens so it already started off a good night. We snagged seats at the bar which was nice , no waiting. We had a great bartender who had our drinks out and we ordered some food. I had the bruschetta board which was delicious. The SMOKED SALMON IS FIRE. You have to try it when you come. It's the absolute favorite and I always have to get it. The cider was really good also. No complaints just full stomachs and smiles .

    I love Postinos, and it seems like they are popping up all over the PHX valley! This location is a bit smaller, and the parking lot is small, so if you come at prime time you may have some trouble parking. There were some spots available around 445pm on a weekday. Indoor/outdoor seating is available as well as some bar area seating. They have happy hour drink specials until 5pm on weekdays. The ambiance is intimate and dark, I also love the back wall mural of tin lunch boxes. You can also purchase wine bottles here and they offer a wine club deal too! The service was good, I believe it's a team effort so multiple people helped us out. I decided to order the select two and choose the half salad/ panini deal with the WEST COASTER on focaccia bread and GREEN GARDEN CHICKEN CHOP. Both items were delicious! I would definitely order them both again.

    If Postino has no fans, I'm dead. I love Postino. I think that the bruschetta boards are just perfect there and I love that. They still have reasonably priced wine and beer if you go before 5 o'clock, it is only six dollars. They also have delicious fresh salads, and some really tasty sandwiches. Service is always friendly in there, and I love sitting at the bar, especially

    Same quality boards

    They catered for my workplace and it did Not disappoint. They can't control the ambiance obviously for food they cater, but they certainly controlled the quality. The service was prompt; some caterers are late. They were not!

    Always a vibe. We came for their bottle and board night Our waiter Alan was very attentive and checked in regularly, music fits well with the ambience, love the dim lighting. Definitely a must.

    I recently visited this location with two friends and one of their small children. It was a Friday around noon and the place was packed! Our wait was not bad and our table was ready quicker than projected. Pros- the food was good and served hot, the selection of bruschetta was great for my meat eating friend and the vegetarian, drinks came out quickly, there was a chair for the little guy, servers were knowledgeable, and super kind! Cons- the Bloody Mary had a sweet flavor so I would skip this in the future, parking was a mess Overall- I'd return! The pros definitely outweighed the cons and I love the atmosphere and food and drink options!

    They do take reservations but not on Monday and Tuesdays nights. This is because they have their board and bottle deal starting at 8:00

GOOD! inspired by taco bell's baja blast hahahah). they TREATED us to all three of their current desserts on the menu. it was the most pleasant surprise i could've imagined. my favorite was the flourless chocolate cake! it was like a thick, rich brownie, had passion fruit cream to "lighten it up" and a caramel-like taffy on the bottom my brother and sister-in-law both said their favorite was the gulab jamun (which is basically like little fried dough balls/donuts, influenced by indian flavors and spices). the mille-feuille was also fantastic - the pastry was light and airy, cream wasn't too sweet and also very light, shaved cheese on top made it have a savory bite, and the jam alongside it was strawberry rhubarb. service is always amazing, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable; it seems like everybody working here truly enjoys it. quite literally already have a reservation booked at valentine and will be coming back here beforehand. update: came back for more drinks (fernet & coke, spaghett western, negroni) and their lamb flauta. all AMAZING! and amazing order to whet the appetite before dinner at valentine.

I absolutely love the atmosphere and it's not high energy. Very relaxed which is great for me. The food was good. We got the basil pesto ice cream and omg. Divine. The pesto ice cream honestly was lije pistachio ice cream. It worked amazing and so refreshing. Underneath was a lemon ice thing that was exquisite and very palate refreshing. It tasted tart and like lemons. Not crunch. Soft ice. One thing though. The drinks weren't bad price. Average for tha area. The only thing is the bar tender made all of our drinks very strong. Most people think that's a good thing but honestly all I could taste was booze. I ordered a whisky sprite (7and7 spoof) and wow I could only taste whiskey. Every sip was booze booze and more booze. For the cocktails I wasn't able to taste any of the ingredients since it was so strong on the alcohol. Definitely moneys worth I guess lol. The bartender though was very nice and knowledgeable about all the drinks. Could explain all the drinks and the different types of alcohol. Not bad. Definitely would come back. Super cute for date night or a small gathering night out since space wise isn't huge.

The squash salad is a fabulous idea for a fresh salad that is different - but if they'd added some olive oil & lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt, it would have been great. It was a bit dry and not well dressed. Octopus salad was the same - I really wanted to like it, and I took half home (just because I was full) when I added olive oil and lemon juice and Salt & pepper, it was great. The meatballs were pretty flavorful. It's called a Wine Bar, but there was not a big selection of wines by the glass. Part of what makes a wine bar fun, is having a lot of choices, and perhaps a flight or two. They did have a few unusual wines. But there are so many wine bars (or restaurants with really good wine programs), you're going to have to expand your selection a bit to compete.

I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner.

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

WINE & FOOD: My wife tried three different tasting flights, the Diamond (white wines), the Ruby (red wines), and the Amber (dessert wines).
