Postino is definitely a must when visiting Downtown Gilbert! The service is always amazing alongside their food. We normally go around brunch-time for drinks and the bruschetta board! I recently tried their bloody mary and it was spot on. I have tried a handful of their bruschetta options and would highly recommend the french onion option! So so good! Not only do we go for the food & drinks, but even the establishment itself! Whether you are seated inside or out, everything is so aesthetically pleasing (like the beautiful yellow umbrellas and the gorgeous desert plants!) read more

No one beats their bruschetta! It's a great location in downtown Gilbert right next to the Gale theater!

Postino's treat, the perfect creme brulee to eat. We came to Postino East in Gilbert for a dessert after having dinner in a nearby restaurant. We ordered creme brulee for dessert, which was perfectly creamy with a satisfying caramelized sugar crust. We did not wait long for our sweet order to arrive. We sat on their comfortable couches outside overlooking the historic street of the city. The location itself is nice and vibey, making it an ideal spot for a cozy night. read more

It has an amazing ambience. You can sit outdoors on the patio or inside. There is also as shown in the photos a wine selection and you can purchase bottles to go. The salmon platter was excellent and the chicken salad was also very fresh. The waitress was attentive. It was a very relaxing late lunch. The meal came out very quickly. The parking was a short distance away. The entrance is unique with all of the buttons on the wall. It has a very relaxed vibe and definitely worth a visit. read more

This was my first time at this Postino's location and it has a a ton of patio seating! I went at 3pm on a Saturday and it was packed but I was seated within 10 minutes. The bruschetta boards here are always a hit and are the main reason to come. I also got a half west coaster panini with the raspberry chicken salad and my friend got the caprese panini. You can choose focaccia or ciabatta for the paninis. All the food was delicious and the service was quick given how busy they were. The atmosphere is very lively and there's some nice plants. read more

This is our favorite quick and easy date night or friends/family hangout! We love the happy hour wine/beer prices - I am still sad that they don't have the Last August wine anymore, but I always go with their recommendations for Sauvignon blanc! But what we really come for is the bruschetta board! Perfect for sharing with the table or a meal on your own - I love the flavor combos and the summer Battle of the Boards! We will be back in August to try the next two new flavors to see who wins! Our servers are always prompt and friendly and I love Postinos! The downtown Gilbert area has a great patio for when the weather is nice and it's easy to walk to from the parking lot - highly recommend checking it out and making a reservation if you can! read more

Love this place in Downtown Gilbert always a great vibe and great service. The Butrata is always our go to app. If you like red wine the Loren Crossing is worth the price. Sometimes its a little close knit seating wise so may be hard to drone out all the conversations around you. Dinner inside was also candle lit which was really nice. But definitely got blinded a few times by neighboring folks turning on their flashlights to read the menu. Good food, great wine, even better service can't really ask for too much more. read more

Went to Postinos for lunch today. My husband and I both ordered a pick two, half sandwich and salad. I asked for ciabatta bread and my husband had focaccia. When the sandwiches came out, fairly quickly, both were on focaccia bread. I told them the mistake. No problem we will make you a new sandwich. Fifteen minutes later my husband is done with his lunch and I never got my sandwich. I'm beyond pissed and still hungry. Postinos didn't charge us for my husbands meal. I would have rather had my lunch. read more

Had an absolutely delightful dinner here last night. The Bruschetta board is off the charts delicious and don't forget the donuts for dessert. Wine selection is perfect. Lastly, our server Sydney was fantastic. We will ask for her upon our next visit. This place NEVER disappoints!! read more

Love this location! Phenomenal food and wine! Absolutely fabulous atmosphere and especially great when the weather is nice. However, every hostess we've had has been so smug and unfriendly. Not sure why. All the servers and assistants are amazing, but hostesses are just ugh. read more

Food was so good & the vibes were great! The bruschetta is always a good starter for big parties. Definitely recommend their tomato soup as a side. And lastly, our waiter was such a delight. He was very attentive to our group and made great recommendations read more

I was excited to try this based on the reviews. We had tickets to a show and decided to go here since it was around the corner. For a Tuesday, it was quite busy. The restaurant itself has a large patio and inside, including a bar with rollup garage doors. It was a little surprising that they were wide open since it was a pretty chilly evening. They did have heaters going out outside, but in general, it was almost unpleasantly cold in the restaurant. We were greeted, and asked for spiked coffee perhaps to partake and warm up. Coffee? The bartender said no Kahlúa we asked for Bailey's... no Bailey's the only thing that he could offer was Lacore 43 so we went with an old-fashioned For food, we ordered the grilled cheese that came with a side of Tomato soup. In general, it was pretty good. The other item we got was the crispy cauliflower my only problem with this is my mom has broken her wrist several times and therefore can't cut things and it came almost like a whole cauliflower so had she been alone she wouldn't have been able to eat it. Thankfully I was there and I could cut it up into pieces for her. The overall feel was just average in terms of the visit and I'm not sure that we would return. On another note, it seemed they had good wine selections and $6 glasses before 5pm. read more

I haven't been to this location in a long time and man, it is by far the best. Lots of parking within a very reasonable walking distance. The patio is almost completely covered and so big. The inside is super cute and very open with all the big windows. Surprisingly not too loud for location and size. The service is great and super friendly compared to the college and chandler locations. And the food, always top notch and consistent. read more

All the staff from the hostesses to waitresses and support staff were friendly, on point and helpful. The bruschettta board appetizer was delicious as well as the panini; we will definitely return for the food. One note: get a reservation. It's quite busy on Friday, even at 4:50pm! read more

Jordan S. was our waiter and was very patient, kind, friendly, and funny. He helped me and my friend who have never been here before choose what we wanted. Good drinks, food and desert, highly recommend this location. Also the atmosphere is amazing at night, will definitely be better in the winter. read more

We miss RJ at this location as he was always accommodating for our large (10+) ladies luncheon. Sean has been a great addition to the server team. He has been my server on two occasions and is fabulous! Jordan helped him serve yesterday and also did a great job! Thank you for your great service and excellent food! read more

Came here for a casual girl's lunch with some friends on a Thursday afternoon and they were able to accommodate our party of five in a timely manner. What we loved about this place was that there was something for everyone's varying palates. Our favorites were the smoked salmon & pesto bruschetta and the prosciutto di parma, fig & mascarpone bruschetta. We were unsure if we had ordered enough to share, but it ended up being VERY filling. Service was friendly and helpful in giving us good recommendations on which bruschetta to get for our fourth choice since we were indecisive. At no point during our meal did we ever feel rushed or ignored. The ambiance was warm and inviting with lots of natural light filtering in from the windows. Since this location is in downtown Gilbert, you do have to walk further for parking, but there are plenty of lots and garages around. read more

There's a lot to love at this Downtown Gilbert staple spot! Their $25 board and bottle on Monday and Tuesdays and their $6 happy hours draw large crowd because they are truly amazing deals! I love that their bruschetta and wines are constantly on rotation and that they experiment with fun and unique flavors both savory and sweet. I love sitting on their heated patio in the winter and their service is always spectacular! I've tried several menu items including their panini sandwiches and sweet potato wedges and the food is always consistently delicious! read more

We love going to this Postinos. The downfall is it gets crowded way to fast and doesn't take reservariona for small parties. They have a lot of outdoor space but minimal indoors. It's great for gluten free as they have gf bread options for most items. It is a small fee extra. We really enjoy their grilled cheese and tomato soup and bruchetta boards. Happy hour is great as well until 6 and they even have 1 really nice non alcoholic wine. The staff does rotate so it can be confusing who to reach out to if you need anything. We always leave quite full.amd happy. read more

First time here... Everyday, a glass of wine or a pitcher of beer: $6. Yes, I said $6! We had the sweet potato wedges and shrimp scampi. Both were very tasty. Our server, Jordan, was very polite and efficient. We'll be stopping by here again. read more

I was trying to find good happy hour or late night deals to go out with a girlfriend with, and remember everyone telling me about the great deal for the bottle and board here. I looked on there website and saw there happy hour was until 5:00, but on Monday and Tuesday nights after 8:00 pm, you get a board of bruschetta (choice of 4) and a bottle of wine for $25! Definitely can't go wrong with that deal! I know Postino's is a very popular spot, so I made sure to get there at 7:15, just in case there was a wait, that we had plenty of time. I got really lucky and there were two open spots open at the bar! She did say to wait for a table, could have been anywhere from 30-45 minutes, which was expected. Since we had a little time to kill before 8:00 rolled around, we each ordered a cocktail. I found out from the bartender that there liquor selection is very very limited, so they can't just make anything you ask for. My friend ordered a dirty martini and I ordered one of there cocktails on the menu, the Tre Cucumber, which was very light, a little more sweet than I thought it would be, but still good. For the board and bottle, we got a bottle of sauvignon blanc, and we got salami and pesto, salmon and pesto, burrata and bacon, and the artichoke one. I really don't think any of the bruschetta options would be a bad choice! Anytime I have tried any here, they are great! I will say, I need to take more advantage of this great deal so I can try more of the other types of bruschetta. This place is always packed whenever I drive by, and for good reason. Great seating in a well design restaurant, outside patio option, as well, and big windows in the front to see out to downtown Gilbert. The service we had at the bar was a little slow, but I know it was a busy night. They have great snack options here, I personally wouldn't come for a full dinner meal, but any pre dinner or after dinner food, totally in for. I do, however, need to try the grilled cheese everyone tells me about! Can't wait to come back with a group of girls and take advantage of the board and bottle again! read more

Postino East - Tre Cucumber cocktail - Wine Bars Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

This review is based on two separate visits to Postino in Gilbert - once on 6/17 (just the two of us) and again on 7/2 with friends - and unfortunately, the service was consistently disappointing both times. On our first visit, we were seated at a two-top near the bar, right in the path of the waitstaff heading to the kitchen. After receiving our waters, we were essentially ignored. We tried multiple times to get someone's attention (making eye contact, subtly raising a hand) only to be repeatedly passed by without acknowledgment. It became almost laughable. We finally had to physically reach out and stop a staff member to place our order. She was very kind, apologized, and explained that the staff shares tables (no assigned servers), and she assumed someone else had already taken care of us. She did offer a free dessert to make up for it, which we appreciated, and we chalked it up to a busy night (there were empty tables though...) or being short-staffed. Unfortunately, our second visit was worse. We met friends and were seated inside on the couch, which was comfortable, but that was the only highlight. Our initial server took our drink orders, and that was the last we saw of her. Someone else dropped off our drinks, and when we asked him if we could place a food order, he said he wasn't a server but would let someone know. Again, no one came. We waited nearly 20 minutes with empty glasses, hoping to order food, trying to catch the attention of several staff members walking by... nothing. When we finally flagged someone down, there was no acknowledgment of the delay, no apology, and definitely no sense of urgency. If anything, it felt like we were inconveniencing him- as if our request was an interruption rather than a basic part of his job. To add to the frustration, I had asked for limes with my drink when I ordered, again when it was delivered, and a third time when we finally placed our food order. I didn't get them until I was nearly done with my last glass from the pitcher. Only then did the server mention he'd forgotten and would bring them out- which felt like an afterthought at best. The group service model clearly isn't working here. With no one owning the customer experience, it results in everyone assuming "someone else" is handling it... in our case, no one was. We live within walking distance of downtown Gilbert and go out often, so we've been long-time fans of Postino, especially enjoying their Battle of the Bruschetta, which we've enjoyed! But with so many places closing along Gilbert Rd, our dining options are already getting limited. I really wanted to keep liking this location, but the service has declined so much that it's hard to justify coming back. Unless you have a lot of patience and don't mind being ignored, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. For now, we'll be skipping this spot. read more

Bruschetta is excellent but bread change has resulted in soggy bread in the middle......a fork is needed!

The previous reviews are excellent. The pictures are beautiful. Unfortunately, the food we ordered through door dash did not look or taste that great. The steak tasted old and bordered on rancid flavor. The ceasar salad was just whole romaine leaves. Not cut up just placed in the take out container. The cheese WAS NOT parmesan. It might have been grated pecorino/parmesan mix. I could not eat either one. We also ordered grilled cheese and tomato soup. There was way too much cheese for the thin sliced bread. The flavor was not there. I could not eat either one past a bite!!! read more

Seated right away even though it was crowded. Managed to get a nice sized booth outside. Ordered wine, appetizers and dinner. Drinks came out quickly. Water glasses were kept full. Our dinners came out without too much of a wait... service was excellent until the end when we were just about ready to pay the bill...then we were completely ignored. No one asked if we wanted anymore water or a dessert. Had to grab the closest roaming staff to get desserts and our bill. Overall a nice experience. read more
