One of our favorite casual date night spots! There is a wide variety of different dishes on the menu, but we loved the bruschetta boards. We tried 8 different ones, and all were excellent! The pesto and salami one was my favorite. The inside of the restaurant is pretty dimly lit, but we didn't mind and it helped create a cozy atmosphere. The outdoor patio looked nice and could be a good option for daytime. Our waitress was very attentive and let us know about the seasonal specials. They have a board and wine deal on weekday nights that we're looking to try next. Would definitely recommend for a fun night out in the Village District with friends or a date! read more

Postino Village District - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Another Arizona staple that made its way to North Carolina! My husband and I stopped in here for a quick bite on a Friday night before a concert. I have been to Postino many times before, but this was my first time at the Raleigh location. While it's been 4 years since I've had Postino and the menu has changed a little, the bruschetta board is still a permanent fixture. We ordered a bruschetta board for an appetizer and I ordered the half panini & half salad for my entree. The bruschetta board is a must order because you can get 4 different kinds. The top tier choice is the salami pesto one. It's my absolute favorite. For my panini, I got the caprese one on ciabatta bread and the half of the mixed greens salad. The salad was delicious. This was a ton of food and felt very satisfying. I always love the vibe of Postino's, but this location was way too dark with only a small candle at the table. Service started off good and we were able to order our food without a problem. However, our server was done with his shift right after we ordered so we got a new server. Our new server had no idea we already ordered and was a little behind coming to our table for water refills. Despite that, we were in and out of the restaurant within 45 minutes. Postino is surrounded by other shops and restaurants, so they had a ton of parking available outside the restaurant. Highly recommend this place if you want good food! read more

I really enjoyed my lunch at postino. I went alone and sat on the patio. The large umbrellas shared the area nicely but still had a great vibe, with the bright yellow color. Even though this patio is basically in a parking lot, it has a pleasant atmosphere. The food was excellent. I had some bruschetta choices and the chicken and steak skewers. Paired with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, this was a perfect meal! My service was exceptional from start to finish. I was immediately treated when I walked in and made to feel welcome. Everyone who came to my table, offered a smile. And when I left, the bartender, who I had not spoke to said goodbye and thank you. Five stars from me. Usually when management creates an enjoyable place to work, it comes through in the customer experience .... so I commend not only the employees I interacted with that day, but those behind the scenes read more

Postino is located in the Village District and has a free parking lot shared with other businesses. If that lot fills, there are other lots in the shopping center. Postino has been open for almost two years now. Postino has both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor space is open-concept, with high ceilings and large windows. The lounge area has lower chairs and soft fabrics. The dining room has tables and booths. There is also a bar with a library wall separating it from the dining area. The walls are wood tones with pops of red and yellow. The high ceilings make the restaurant loud, so if music is playing, it is harder to hear conversations. I was on the same side as the jazz music. While Postino is a wine bar, it also offers many mocktails for those of us who do not want alcohol. I tend to order the Mockingbird because I enjoy it, but I need to try another one next time. The menu has twelve bruschetta boards. I have tried most of them on my visits; my last visit included the chef's special with asparagus and peas. I didn't care for this one in taste or form, as it needed a creamy base so the toppings didn't fall off. I also thought it would be more like the artichoke spread. The flavor wasn't good, and I do like asparagus. The smoked salmon was another new one I tried. I really liked this one, but then I realized mine was missing the onions. So this was good luck on my part, as I don't like onions. I didn't order it special, though, so the kitchen left it off. The Prosciutto with Figs & Mascarpone was another I enjoyed as the flavors came together well. Ricotta, Dates & Pistachio had been a favorite in the past, but I didn't care for it this visit. I think something was missing on this one, too. Service was friendly, functional and efficient, but not overly attentive. It is a busy place. If you are looking for a high -energy spot with great mocktails and lovely decor, check out Postino. I do hope the food is more consistent on my next visit. read more

I recently went to a Yelp brunch event hosted by Postino which was beautiful done. It featured live music, corkscrew wine opener engraving, and excellent service! Postino offers a variety of wine and cocktail selections. If you go in please try the bruschetta boards which allows you to pick 4 shareable options. Their OMG grilled cheese with tomato soup is the perfect bite of comfort. Also on your looking for something classic their Classic Remix is absolutely delicious with sausage. This is definitely my new brunch spot...thanks again! read more

Fun. Great food. Loud. Social. Great waitstaff that keep the vibe cool. Super hangout place for an hour or two either friends.

Came here for a little happy hour to catch up with my friend. We had such a great experience and loved our bruschetta board. Our favorite was the spicy jam with goat cheese (which was shocking for both of us). Serves were super attentive and kind. The atmosphere here is great because it feels sophisticated but also casual enough to just go any time you want to. Bo, our waitress was kind enough to give us these delicious donuts as well which I would definitely get again! read more

I absolutely love the atmosphere here and the wine selection. I have enjoyed the food items that I'd tried and really enjoy having a glass or two of wine while enjoying one of their charcuterie boards. I gave four stars because the service is not the best unless you are lucky enough to have the amazing bartender act as your server. They are the best, and I am always hopeful they will come be our server. read more

So, I decided to check out Postino on a brisk Saturday evening. I arrived around 6:30 and it was busy. I was fortunate to get a table at the bar. The service from the time I arrived to the moment I paid my bill was amazing. Postino's is definitely a vibe. From the great music to the coziness, to the excellent wine list and the amazing food!! I started with a glass of the Costa Red Blend and the Skewers. They were out of chicken, so I had two of the beef skewers and they were absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. The garlic yogurt sauce was also perfection. I then ordered a board with 4 toasts, smoked salmon, fresh mozzarella w/ tomato & basil, burrata w/ bacon, arugula and tomato and poached pear!! They were all so good, but being by myself it was hard to eat it all, I was getting tired of all the toast, so with the last couple, I'd just take the toppings off and eat them. Everything was so beautifully prepared and made perfectly. The presentation was top notch. Postino is a great place for anytime, date night, a group, or solo! read more

Sparkling rosé starts this post--and our adventure--off right! City seating and a curated menu by creative chefs were ordered tout de suite and off we go! A focaccia roll lined with rare tuna and a fresh side salad may not leave room for the promised warm doughnut finish. Pooled service kept glasses full and customers happy. I'm not sure how the other locations are decorated, but I love the quirky library look. Sit closer than usual; the high ceiling bounces every sound and creates a constant bustling vibe. It certainly caters to groups with shared plates and boards. Is that a waterfall? Nope--it's the sound of decanted wine deftly poured into glasses! With over 50 labels, you'll have plenty to choose from. A hidden gem for book clubs and friends from out of town, as the chic theme doesn't lend itself to a family restaurant. Energy was a pleasure to redirect on this week of thanks in November. read more

Postino Village District - Sparkling rose starts this post t ino adventure out right! - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Food was good, laid back intimate vibes, service was slow, good happy hour specials. The decor was fun and hip. Lighting is low and dim with candles. This would be a great place for a date night or a casual hangout or dinner. The kids options are great and the portions are generous. The apple slices were thin cut but the kids didn't like them because they were salted presumably to keep them from browning. The house fried chips didn't taste too fresh and inconsistently seasoned, a lot were bland. The Chef's charcuterie board was lovely and had a great variety of items. I thought the hummus was really fantastic. Service was friendly but slow with big gaps in between orders when people wanted to order more drinks. There were also QR codes on the table promoting a buy a $100 gift card get $30 gift card deal but when we asked our server about it she said she would ask her manager about it (we had questions) and she never did. For 3 young children and 4 adults we ordered 3 kids meals, sweet potato fries, chef's charcuterie, shrimp scampi (its by weight but we got 5 shrimp to share and it comes with artichokes), 2 prosciutto and Brie paninis, two Italian beef dip (which I HIGHLY recommend. It was so delicious, definitely the best item on the menu to order by far), hot donut dots, and olive oil cake. Both desserts were delicious and moist. We wanted to order the meatballs with goat cheese as well but they were out of it. We also ordered a $6 pitcher of one of the rotating drinks on tap which was a Firestone grapefruit hef (yum but depends on what you're into), prickly pear marg, Negroni, and a couple other drinks I can't remember. All of the drinks were solid. Def come here for the drinks. The food is good too but it's also mainly paninis which is pretty casual food for the price. If you do order food, the select two option is a great value. Italian beef and the chopped chicken salad is the way to go! read more

Woow, this was a great find. Beautiful indoor/outdoor restaurant with a great patio for events (they were having one when we were there). Beautiful decor and an inside bar. The place was busy but they were able to seat us right away without a reservation. We ordered the choose 4 to build your own Bruschetta. The OMG grilled cheese which comes with tomato soup and the chicken and mozzarella panini. Everything was delicious. Worth checking out!! read more

If you want a glass of wine, some good food and service check out Postino! read more

First time visit, and we will definitely be back! We had paninis and they were amazing. I had the chicken mozzarella on focaccia with salad as my side, and enjoyed every last bite. The bread was amazing and the sauce had a tiny kick. My husband had the Italian beef dip on ciabatta, and he really enjoyed it. The Happy Happy drink menu offers some of the best deals I've seen - $6 small pitcher of beer and $6 glasses of wine. I had the Sauvignon Blanc and my husband had the beer pitcher. read more

This was my first time trying Postino; I've been wanting to try it forever! I brought some friends on a Sunday evening. The decor and vibe is cozy, warm, and welcoming. Everything on the menu looked fantastic, but I narrowed my choice down to the P.R.E.A.M. Bowl. It had steak, broccolini, avocado, warm grains, and romesco. I had to look up ingredients of romesco and it's a Spanish sauce with roasted red peppers, almonds, garlic, tomatoes, and vinegar. The sauce kicked this dish up several notches-it really added so much flavor. I'd love to come back and try more menu items. read more

I recommend reserving a table, especially if you're a larger group. I came here with a group of 5 friends without a reservation and got seated right away, but in the lounge/couch area. It was very hard to hear each other because the seating was so spaced out. It was also very warm because the door to the patio was left open right next to us. I wouldn't recommend sitting here if you can help it! We split two of the bruschetta boards and Nick's board. The bruschetta was good and they have a variety of flavors to choose from. The pimento cheese and pretzel bites were the stars on Nick's board for me. We all got different wines and had no complaints! I also got the brussels sprouts salad which was so yummy. The service was very slow. We were there for about 2 hours and sat with empty drinks for a while. I'm thinking maybe it was just because it was so busy and we were in the lounge area. Overall, this is a good spot for smaller, lighter bites and drinks. I'll be back, but with a reservation next time! read more

I hate that I have to travel outside of Greensboro to find restaurants like this but glad that I can find them fairly nearby. We were celebrating my daughter's birthday and she wanted to go here and I would say she got her intelligence from me cuz this place is amazing. It's not your typical Italian restaurant because they don't have the spaghettis and the lasagnas and the veal parmesan and such but what they do have is spot on and we absolutely loved it. We ordered a couple of paninis and my daughter got a bruschetta board and the flavors in all of them were spectacular the focaccia bread was probably the best I've ever had. Honestly it reminded me of back in the day the good old Pizza Hut pan pizza crust where they would lather butter in the pizza pan and then cook the pizza and the crust was buttery and crunchy but then the inside of it was soft and chewy. The paninis were amazing because the bread was amazing and then the items inside of it just went well together. The ambiance in the place is very upscale but it's not too upscale that you don't feel uncomfortable if you come in wearing shorts and flip flops. All the wait staff was top notch and this was generally just an exceptional dining experience. We always love to go visit our daughter but places like this make it a little bit easier if we can kind of nudge her and say hey you want us to come and see you and let's go to dinner? This is in the old Cameron Village district and I would definitely recommend a reservation otherwise you're probably going to be waiting for a while not a large amount of seating but well worth the wait if you have to. read more

What a gem of a restaurant. The ambiance is warm, moody, sexy, perfect for a date night. Go during happy hour and take advantage of their $6 glasses of wine or beers. I love a good cauliflower dish, I almost didn't get this one because of the raisins but it WORKED! A little more sauce would have been nice but I left nothing on the plate! As my entree I had the prosciutto and Brie panini and for a slightly up charge I got the tomato soup as a side. The fig jam inside the panini felt like the perfect charcuterie board in a sandwich. There was a change in staff while I was seated but everyone was pleasant! read more

Waitress poured wine all over my friend and didn't notice because literally ran away mid pour to talk to someone. Joked about how she dined and dished us. Then she poured the water ALL over our table. The whole table is wet. The entire inside was way too warm and humid. Chips were so stale they were inedible. They DID NOT present the wine properly, not a single step of the "formal process" of pouring wine was done. Sandwhich was good, moscato was delicious. Next time we're staying home for a sandwhich and a drink. read more

Phenomenal restaurant! From the time we entered the restaurant till we left the customer service was impeccable. The food was utterly delicious and amazing.

For my 1,000th review on Yelp, I decided to give this special spot to Postino, one of my favorite restaurants in the Triangle area! I've been to Postino's quite a few times now. I was introduced to them during a Yelp Elite event and ever since then, I keep coming back for more. The decor is inviting and warm, especially during the day when it's not as busy, it's more intimate. In the evening, Postino's is full of life and the energy is infectious. All of the staff here at Postino's is wonderful. We've never had any issues whatsoever. Service has always been top notch. As much as I love the staff and cozy atmosphere, it's the delicious and memorable food that has me asking my husband, "can we go to Postino's? I'll pay!" We always start with the meatballs and goat cheese appetizer. It's delicious and comforting. We also share a bruschetta board. We absolutely love the sweet and spicy pepper jam with goat cheese, that's probably our favorite to share. When they had the French onion, that was by far the best one ever! I wish the French onion was on their permanent menu. Our second favorite is the Brie, apple, and fig spread. We've tried many of their choices but from their permanent menu, the pepper jam and Brie bruschettas are our absolute must-gets. While we indulge in carbs, we also order a pitcher of beer each. These equate to about 2.5 pints so it's not a true pitcher, but enough for individuals if you're too selfish to share the devil's nectar. Postino is amazing and I'm so glad I found them through Yelp! read more

A lovely addition to Cameron Village (I know it's Village District now, but it will always be Cameron Village to me)! Postino is located where Cafe Carolina used to be. The aesthetics are great and really fit the vibe of the area. They have a variety of seating including outdoor, indoor tables, a full bar, and even cute couch/armchair areas. As with anywhere in the Village District, parking can be a literal nightmare because it's a busy area with a lot of shops and restaurants so be warned. I'd suggest making a reservation if possible. Simply visit their website and it's quick and easy to navigate online. Also, if you join the email list you can get a coupon for a free Bruschetta Board. Upon arrival my friend and I were greeted and seated promptly. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. I love the vibes there! Our server was knowledgeable about the entire menu and that's always a plus. You can also sample wines before ordering if you'd like. Now...the food. SO GOOD! First we of course cashed in on the free Bruschetta Board. We decided to choose 4 different bruschetta's for our board. We got the following: - Brie, Apple & Fig Spread - Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone - Sweet n' Spicy Pepper Jam & Goat Cheese - Salami & Pesto We also ordered the Shrimp Scampi and Skewers to share. Highly recommend and will definitely return! read more

We had the lunch and a fresh glass of cucumber lemonade which was delicious. The ambience of this place is incredible. We love how the place is set up and how open and airy it feels. We didn't want wait for a full table so we sat at the bar and had our lunch there. The staff was very nice and welcoming. The food was delicious, let me tell you that every bite was heaven.

A friend and I met for lunch today at Postino Village District and we couldn't be happier that we did!! First off, the menu lends itself to sharing...bruschetta boards with a creative array of toasts cut into four, so there lots of flavors and fun to share. We also had the meatballs with goat cheese and they were sensational! Also, they offer a reverse happy hour where wine and beer is $6 before 5pm...and not just one or two selections...there was a full page that ran the spectrum of wine choices. Staff was beyond friendly. And attentive when needed and gave us space when our conversations got lively. Even the manager came over just to check on us and make everything was delightful. I door seating that comfy and perfect for visiting with friends, bar seating, and a beautiful outdoor space for enjoying the weather. So there's great space for whatever your mood. All in all a true 5-start experience. We were very grateful to have Postino Village District. Looking forward ti coming back! read more

Managed to get a last minute dinner reservation but had to sit outside in 100 degree weather which was unpleasant. There were some fans but they didn't do much to keep us cool and did nothing to keep the flys away. The wine and food were great but service could've been better - hardly saw the waiter during the few hours we were there. I think with better / stronger fans in the outdoor seating area and more attentive waiters this would've been a 5/5. read more

We drove an hour to give Postino a try and boy, was it WORTH IT! Our server was having one of those nights, HOWEVER, the amazing food and atmosphere kept this trip highly rated.

Had a reservation here to celebrate my son's girlfriend's birthday. We were seated quickly and brought water. Our server was fabulous--explained everything well and knew the beers on tap. They had a great beer special of a "pitcher" for $6. This is a bit misleading because their pitchers are really half pitchers but still a good deal. Three of us tried a yummy blood orange wheat. I have had their build your own bruschetta board before. It's so nice that there is a gluten free option available. I wanted something a little lighter this time so went with the Brussels Sprout salad which had a great flavor. Overall it was a lovely experience.

Two questions: Where have you been all my life and why am I dreaming about meatballs? Answers: idk and because they're DELICIOUS!!!. 10 out of 10 out of 10! Food? Amazing. Just look at the pics. Soup was delicious. Meatballs were a wonderful blend of beef and Italian sausage smothered in a delectable red sauce with ricotta (I believe). It's now the meatball standard for me. The BOARDS are tasty and creative and combine delicious flavors. My favs - smoked salmon and apple fig. Try them all. And the paninis and salads didn't disappoint either. Oooohhh. The donuts. Get the hot donuts too. They come with 3 sauces with the chocolate being my favorite. Yes, you will be full, but happy! Service: awesome. Although it was a Friday night and bustling, we were not forgotten and checked on often. The water fairy kept us hydrated. . The vibe: cool, calm and collected with oldies tunes that are not too loud. Although the restaurant can get loud on a crowded Friday evening. Overall - no skips and no misses. This was my second time here and a great way to unwind after a long week. Sparking rose was also a hit. Lots of great drink selections and specials on some nights. I want to gatekeep this place so badly, but the meatballs made me brag about them. . Check them out, but don't tell anyone else. Okay ? And by the way, I'm available for meatballs anytime. read more
