My wife and I love Postino. You can find us here on date nights or any friendly outing with our friends and peeps! The food is always a hit and I have never had something I did not love. Shout out to the meatball and goat cheese, shrimp scampi, and bruschetta board platter. While we love all Postino locations for their vibe and aesthetic, the new Peoria location is a vibe and close to us. The central location is our other favorite because of the people that work there. KATELYN is the OG and best Postino employee there is. We love her and always appreciate her professional presence and fun atmosphere she creates. Always planning our next visit! read more

Food was delivious. Our server Katelyn was truly amazing. Will definitely return soon!

Consistently good vibe, food and service! Katelyn is a rock star who's welcoming, fun and knowledgeable about the menu/drinks! She set the tone for a joyful evening on the patio! read more

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. read more

Postino Central - Raspberry Chicken Salad - Wine Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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. read more

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 read more

We went around 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon and sat down at the bar. Anne was our server and she was outstanding! I had Hazy Little Thing IPA and my wife had the Ronco Colombo Italian white wine. Both were wonderful. We split an order of the marinated olives which were delicious and we had plenty to bring home as well. For mains, we had the Smoked Salmon board and the Pub Board. Her smoked salmon was amazing along with toast, a small Caesar salad and onions. My Pub Board had a hot pretzel with melted cheese, two kinds of sausage, two kinds of pickles and corn nuts(!) An excellent meal and experience made super special because of Anne's help. There is a reason why we buy gift cards every year to enjoy this place-we will be back soon! read more

We went here for the first time and it was well worth it! We sat in the patio and just loved the ambiance! The service was spectacular and the food was amazing! I would recommend the bruschetta, to die for! We can't wait to go back! read more

I have always loved Postino (all locations) my instinct of sticking to the delicious bruschetta boards......well I should have followed that instinct ! Ambiance is always comforting chic, service is very good and our server was very knowledgeable. I decided on the Tuscan tuna panini that I guess I expected to be warm as it had cheese on it but it wasn't (no big deal) I just always associate panini's to be hot or at the very least warm since they are by nature pressed. The tuna had enormous chunks in it but had a tang that I don't care for at all. It may have been the Dijon and mayo mix but I doubt it I like both of those. Another friend had the chicken and mozzarella panini and she said it was just "okay" my partner had the prosciutto and Brie panini and he liked it (I order it without the fig jam) but he likes figs. Homemade chips were thick and tasty! Iced tea had great flavor! read more

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! read more

I met my friend here for our girls dinner. I've not been here so was excited to try it. The atmosphere was chill and had a good vibe. They had a nice cocktail menu with some craft beers. I ordered a bowl for dinner and my friend had the chicken and mozzarella Panini. Both were, good. For some reason, I was hoping that they had pizza but everything else tasted great. This would be a first type of restaurant. read more

Postino's is known for their bruschetta boards and while you can't go wrong with them, I decided to try something different tonight! I got the pream bowl with steak and it was a bit cold but otherwise good. Since I got there right before 5pm, I had a glass of Tempranillo wine for $6 during their happy hour. Our waiter was very personable. The interior is cute and cozy. Parking definitely fills up around here but there is a small lot I sometimes can snag a space in. read more

We had another excellent experience at Postino Central! It's definitely my favorite of the locations I've been to: it's spacious, open, and the staff are so friendly. We came in on a Saturday early evening and were seated immediately. We ordered two mocktails: the mockingbird and the glow up. We both preferred the glow up: it was the perfect refreshing summer drink we were looking for! The mockingbird was good as well, but to us was more of a fall vibe! We ordered some sweet potato wedges to start. They took about 15 min to come out (which is not bad at all, we were not concerned whatsoever), but the staff was super apologetic that they came out after our bruschetta board. Everything we had tasted so fresh! We'll definitely be back at this location, even though there are multiple locations closer to our home. read more

Decided to hit up postino with a couple of friends for a late lunch! We requested a booth and got a nice private booth towards the back but the lighting was non existent there so it felt a little bit like a dungeon and it was so warm! I think a bit more lighting in that back area would have given this the 5 stars. However, the staff was amazing, it was about time to switch out staff is what we were told and they didn't skip a beat. My friends got a panini each and I did the bruschetta board and it did not disappoint. They also have $6 beer pitches and $6 glasses of wine which was amazing! Definitely a spot to go to for a nice light lunch and some drinks! We will probably make this our new spot since joyride removed all their tacos from their happy hour! Postino is now our new happy hour spot! Great service and absolutely delicious food! read more

The North Central area is filled with fun Eateries and Postino's is at the top of our list! Located just north of Camelback on the west side of Central. Parking 5/5 Ample private parking behind the restaurant but weekends get busy! Ambiance 5/5 The restaurant has a great trendy vibe going on, modern contemporary with seating inside and outside. The outside is the happening place before the season gets to warm. There are large outdoor sectionals for groups to congregate, enjoy cocktails and conversation. There are other more intimate spaces with fireplaces for evening atmosphere! Menu 5/5 We usually go for their Paninis which are easy to enjoy, We always order their fresh Mozzarella, Tomatoes and Basil Board as an appetizer. Service 4/5 Since we chose the outside intimate location service tends to be a bit slower but the space, food and conversations more than made up for that! The Resturant is a happening social themed venue we enjoy when in Phoenix. read more

I remember when this place first opened in Arizona and it was a real treat to come visit. It was very unique at the time and offered a lot of different variety and just a cool concept. They've since expanded and they actually have one open in Orange County where I live. I was visiting in town and after one of the museums we decided to pop in. There's inside an outside seating and we took first available, which was inside. Service was efficient and friendly although we had two servers because one went on break. Not a big deal overall the bread/bruschetta/toast or whatever you wanna call them we're good. I feel that they've been better in the past. The bread has been better and the toppings and portion of the toppings have been better. At both the Irvine and this location. (I hate to compare) seemed to have what I would like to call essence of toppings. Like very thin spread of sauce or other ingredients on top. It's just hard to describe. My mom loves this place so it was a treat for her to come visit. I would probably choose to go somewhere else next time honestly. We did enjoy the shrimp scampi and the Caesar salad. There is plenty of parking. I think we had the apple and brie. Again just very thinly sliced apple and small amount of cheese. The tomato mozzarella one was so basic. I'm annoyed that we even ordered it. I thought we had ordered something different so I guess I have to manage my expectations. I did not enjoy the prosciutto item. I think with the fig I felt something was off with the prosciutto. read more

A staple restaurant that is a MUST try. Yeah, bruschetta boards are at a bunch of places, but the bruschetta at postino is something I can't explain. Every time I go to postino, I HAVE to get at least some bruschetta. Fun fact, you don't need to get an entire board, you can get 1 piece up to 4 pieces (an entire board). My 2 favorite are the French onion and spicy pepper jam. Other runner ups include Brie apple and fig and salami and pesto. I like to get 2 pieces of bruschetta, and a side salad. Fills me just enough without being too full. The vibes at the restaurant are always great, and stay consistent through all locations. The service is always top notch and you can tell the staff enjoy working together and helping each other out. Will be back!! read more

Ok it's been too long since I've been to postino! Decided to pop in for lunch. I got the chicken chopped salad. Yum yum. I did request no mint because while I love it in my tea I'm not a fan of it in my food. Super tasty! The kitchen did accidentally drop a bacon bit in there and when I ate that bite I realized that's what brought it to better flavor. Added the saltiness. So I asked for a side of bacon bits. Service was great, Ashley was my waitress. I've always love the style of these restaurants that while yes you have a server assigned, EVERYONE is your server and helps each other. It was nice and cool for the hot summer day and while there was a lot of chatter it was still mellow. The music was instrumental and lively but not distracting and didn't prevent you from talking to the people at your table. Overall love this place. read more

I have been to other locations, but this is my first time here. My dining companion was uber excited to learn that this location is located in the heart of the "gayberhood" Saff was kind and stopped several times to talk with my friend about the restaurant and the neighborhood. The food was terrific, and my companion, with many food allergies and sensitivities, was pleased to learn that the restaurant was accommodating. The 80s theme was enjoyed by all, with seating inside and out. I did find parking slightly challenging, but not horrible. The ability to purchase bottles of wine to go is nice as well. read more

Postino is the place I take every out of town guest to - It is a MUST do in Phoenix. With such a unique menu and cozy ambiance, Postino really stands out. The bruschetta boards are a staple to Postino's menu but the charcuterie boards are a close second. Postino also offers a wide variety of wines with great happy hour prices. I also love their cocktails as well. As someone who must try an espresso martini at every restaurant it's offered, Postino at the top of my list for best espresso martini in the valley! read more

On Wednesday, November 12th, 2025, I recall the day mainly because I took a picture of my meal at dinner before heading out for drinks. I wanted to relax with a martini near home. That evening, we went to "Postinos," but upon arrival, no one was at the host stand to seat us. I went to the restroom before being seated. My fiancé stayed outside in the parking lot--about 20 to 30 feet away--smoking near our car at the north side of the back bar area. On the patio, only a couple was seated. When I came out of the restroom, my fiancé mentioned that they didn't have the blue cheese olives for my martini. He also shared that someone had come out to the parking lot to tell him that the restaurant was non-smoking. Since this was well over 20 feet from the door, I was surprised and a bit taken aback by the comment. I asked if they truly believed smoke from the parking lot could travel inside, especially to a mostly empty restaurant with only two tables occupied and the patio area. My fiancé, who often wears sweatpants, may have been judged based on his attire, or perhaps the staff were simply being dismissive. I felt a bit embarrassed, as I had hoped to enjoy a nice evening at one of my favorite spots. Even though my fiance didn't mind and suggested let's still have a drink, I was mortified enough for the both of us. Needless to say, we just left as from my point of view --they were not in a rush to serve us. This experience has made me reconsider visiting this place again or recommending it to others. It reminds us that we should never judge someone solely based on appearances or assumptions. I was always taught this in customer service, you never know how much someone has in their pocket. This was truly a disappointing evening; as when I have been here in the past & it was always very pleasant. If you look at my page, I'm not one to write negative reviews but honest ones. I still love postinos, but I'll just make sure to stick to the other locations from here on. If you're reading this, I simply wish you better luck and treatment than we received this night. Good luck! read more

Parking: free parking but lot is a bit small here. It can get pretty crowded during the busy brunch hours. You can drive a bit further down and park too. Service: depending on if you want indoor/outdoor seating, they may be a little slow. They're super nice and check on you a decent amount but not overwhelmingly Food: get the bruschetta board! If you can handle the goat cheese, get it. The drinks are decent but nothing super spectacular. Would get the drinks to go with the food vibe though. Also would avoid the chips that come with the sandwich. It's over fried and too hard! But all the other food was amazing! read more
