The Best Wine Bars in Phoenix

"Postino has reached peak “basic” status, and for good reason. Whether it’s their unbeatable $25 board and bottle nights (yes, that’s $25 for an entire bottle of wine and a board of four bruschettas) or the wide selection of wines from around the world, Postino delivers consistently good service at all their locations. Their sommeliers are always on hand to suggest selections for any palate — no matter how picky." - Mcconnell Quinn

Went here twice in a row while visiting Phoenix and it was just phenomenal! The bruschetta was amazing and the variety perfect if you can‘t easily decide! Everyone was so welcoming and helpful that you‘d feel right at home. Also very lovely to sit outside on a hot Arizona night.

Rachel was our server and she was great! Her recommendations were spot on and everything was great. We got got olives as an appetizer, shared a pitcher of their version of hard apple cider (amazing) and had salads. Though quite noisy (it was brunch-lunch time), it was still super nice. We sat inside and had plenty of space around us. It’s been years since I’d been to Postino (Scottdale and Gilbert) but, my first time at this location and will definitely go back.

We had a fantastic experience with Postino Central in Phoenix! Special thanks to Peter for taking our order with patience and delivering true customer service. He made the process easy and pleasant. Huge shout-out to the entire team working the morning shift on Thursday, July 31—everyone was warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful when I arrived right at opening to pick up our order. And compliments to the chefs—our office lunch was absolutely delicious and a hit with the entire team. Everything was prepared perfectly and packaged with care. We’re already looking forward to our next office lunch from Postino on Central!

We had a large crowd of 12 people. Came in didn’t have a reservation. Was a bit of a sit but not long. Our waitress was wonderful & so was the service. I tried the board and bottle for like $30 maybe $35 but it was worth it. My bottle was moscato it was delicious and sweet! From left to right on the 3rd picture is French onion, artichoke, apple& fig last one was pesto and salami. I recommend them all but the artichoke. The Brest was soft for the French onion. And a sweet taste for the apple and fig. For a salami and pesto the bread was hard crunchy but still good definitely recommend five stars!!!

Hubs and I hit up Postino recently and it was a bit of a mixed bag, TBH. First off, the drinks! I'm not usually an Old Fashioned person, but their Smoked Old Fashioned was surprisingly good – super smooth and kinda sweet (they use Buffalo Trace, Johnnie Walker Black, honey, and citrus). My hubs got the Tre Cucumber (vodka, limoncello, cucumber, honey) and loved it, but it was a little too cucumber-y for me. BUT the Prickly Pear Margarita? OMG. Loved it. Had this cool smoky thing going on and wasn't overly sweet. Definitely get that! We shared the Bruschetta Board. Some hits, some misses. The brie, apple, and fig was kinda meh – mostly just tasted apple, and the pieces were huge. The sweet 'n spicy pepper jam with goat cheese? Now THAT was tasty! Sweet with a little kick and a nice burn at the end, plus the goat cheese was a good counterpoint. The French onion? Not my jam at all. The burrata, bacon, and arugula (no tomato on ours) was okay, smoky flavor was there, bread was crunchy, but overall kinda "eh." Maybe the tomato would've helped. For the main event, we split the West Coaster Panini (got it on focaccia with a side salad). The salad was your basic romaine, tomato, feta, oil and vinegar. The sandwich? Just alright. The ham tasted like regular lunch meat and that's all I could really taste on my half. The garlic aioli was nice, the arugula gave it a good bitter bite, and the avocado was super ripe. But the Calabria chili and pickled onion? Didn't really notice 'em. It was basically a ham sandwich. Also, they called it a panini, but it looked like they just grilled the bread and then slapped everything in – no real panini press action. Now, the service? Freakin' awesome. Our server Morgan was a rockstar – answered all our questions and even brought me a sample of the orange wine when I asked about it. Another person, Katelyn, who helped us was also super friendly. Bottom line: Cool cocktails (especially that prickly pear marg!), some tasty apps, some not-so-much, and a pretty average sandwich. BUT the service was top-notch. Might go back for drinks and apps, but maybe skip the panini next time.

This was my first time at this restaurant and this location. It was hard to find parking and we had to wait for a car to leave before we were able to park. The customer service was good. The food was delicious. However, the menu options were appetizer size, board, sandwiches, and soups, which is too pricey to not get a full protein meal with all the sides. We ordered the shrimp and salad because we didn't want a board, sandwich, or soup. We also ordered the brownie dessert. If you like finger foods, sandwiches, soups, and salads, this is a good restaurant. However if you like full portions of protein with sides, this is not the restaurant for you. This restaurant is what I consider a 'Happy Hour' restaurant and foods. This is not a restaurant to get a full protein meal and sides. There is no steak or grilled chicken breast options on the menu. I was hungry when we arrived and I was not satisfied when we left. I am not a bead crab, sandwich, or soup eater. If you love bread carbs, sandwiches, and soups, this restaurant is for you. This restaurant is expensive for the small portions.

My wife and I chose Postino based on a recommendation from a friend back in Kansas. The bruschetta was incredible, better than most of the drugs I’ve done. P.S. - Hey Harrison my wife had that espresso martini and did in fact fall asleep within 15 minutes of being in the hotel room. Called it.

I freaking love this place! It’s a super cute spot that I always hit when I’m in the area. My favorite things on the menu are the gluten free bruschetta board and the mixed greens salad. The service is awesome. The food is awesome. I highly recommend this place ☺️

Abbey is the BEST!!! So friendly and great service to boot!!!! Food and atmosphere are always the best. So happy to see new menu items, however the cream brûlée will be missed. It's a family favorite. Wine deals are a must here!! Check it out!! Highly recommended.

Everything on the menu pops with flavor. The best part of getting a board (and maybe a bottle) is that you can have so many different tasting notes on the same plate. The brie, apple, and fig bruschetta is one of my favorites. The fig spread is so so sweet and it pairs well with brie and apple. The sweet and spicy pepper jam and goat cheese bruschetta is also full of flavor and offers a completely different taste profile! Postino has gluten free bread available and I think the gluten free bruschetta is even better than the normal variant. The service is also great here! Our waiter made sure to let us know what had gluten and what didn't. The staff were very helpful! It's also very easy to park here once you turn off of Central. There is a large parking lot behind the building in addition to the small lot in front.

My girlfriends and I went here on a Tuesday night to decompress from our busy jobs! It was hopping and the patio was full. We got a seat inside and we happen to get the best seats in the house for the lunar moon eclipse. The service was amazing and everyone was so helpful - always making sure we had our wine glasses and our water cups full. The food was great. I didn't have bruschetta this time but in the past, it's always been a staple of my meals there and it's always been incredible. Tonight we had the Brussels sprouts salad, Nick's board, the hummus board and the cauliflower. One of our gals is vegan and they were super helpful in converting items on the menu to vegan. The Brussels sprouts salad was good, I was not prepared to have all the leaves out. I would have it again. Although my attention was mostly on the cauliflower and Nick's board. The cauliflower was just the right crunch and softness with really good sauce. Nick's board had such yummy meats and cheeses and pretzels. The hummus board was good as well. Highlights for me were definitely the cauliflower and Nick's board! Love this place!

Had yet another wonderful experience at Postino Central! Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and glass of wine. The bartender suggested a red blend based on my usual favorite wine which they were out of that day. His suggestion was spot on, my bruschetta was tasty as always, and the service was great!

This is the best place to have a mix between a casual meal and a fancy meal. You could enjoy your time here eating just appetizers and drinking from the bar. The meals can also suffice. Highly recommend this place when you are meeting with someone you haven't seen in a while. Service takes just the right amount of time. Be careful, this place is always busy.

We celebrated my friend's birthday at Postino, and the experience was exceptional. The servers were top-notch--kind, caring, and polite. We started with the doughnuts, which were warm, creamy, and absolutely delicious. The sauces that accompanied them were to die for. Next, we chose a variety of bruschetta, including pesto and salmon, prosciutto and mozzarella, and tomatoes. One of my favorites was the mascarpone and berries bruschetta. It was hard to choose between that and the French onion soup bruschetta, both of which were outstanding. For my entrée, I had the focaccia stack. It was incredibly flavorful and tangy, with the focaccia being the best I've ever had--truly the best on planet earth. One detail that stood out was when they asked if we had any food allergies when we first ordered. This level of attentiveness is rare and much appreciated. I also asked them to fill my water bottle for my drive home due to not having AC. Not only did they fill it up, but they also gave me an ice cup, which was a thoughtful touch. The place was packed for brunch, yet the atmosphere remained casual and welcoming. Postino made our celebration special, and I look forward to returning.

Absolutely amazing bruschetta boards! I love the salami and pesto, and apple and fig and honestly each of the combinations they have are amazing, I have yet to try one I don't enjoy! The ambience is so lovely and the service is fantastic! One of my favorite places to go and I love taking my friends here too! They have a great selection of drinks and their lemonades are good too! Definitely recommend to everyone looking for a nice aesthetic spot to eat at with good food and drinks!

What a hidden gem this place is. Went here after a referral from my office colleague just to try the $5 beer pitcher that he used to do with friends when he was at ASU. To our surprise they still do that happy hour till 5 PM, not $5 now but just a $1 increase maybe due to inflation. But coming to this place, here are my comments: Food: Bruschettas are special here and were recommended by the server as well. He even offered a free one if we decided not to take it. Then we anyways took a set of 4 and you get the option to select any from the list. Indeed it is one of the best we ever had. 5/5 for sure. We tried smoked salmon pesto, artichoke & basil tomato. The Salmon one is my favorite. Drinks: $6 pitcher or wine during happy hour. That is most cheapest happy hour pricing ever in our US history. No idea how but it is true. Ambiance: Great vibe here both indoors and outdoors with nice decor elements all over. Plenty of seating. Staff: Very courteous and welcoming. Quick service and top-notch class. I would definitely return here and may even become frequent for pitcher drinks and snacks after my office hours which happens to be located just 4 miles away.

I love Postino! Their happy hour is a great deal and their wines are delicious. The bruschetta is all so good but the burrata and bacon one is my favorite! This is a great place for a girls night out, lunch, or date!

Bright, beautiful interior that is open air. Amazing bruschetta boards ($17.25) with your choice of 4 bruschettas. My favorite was the smoked salmon and pesto. We only got this but the rest of the brunch menu looked awesome. Love how they list the calorie count for conscious folk. Very attentive, awesome, accomodating staff.

My husband and I have been to this location twice within the last couple of months. The service each time was beyond exceptional and the food absolutely delicious. This time we each got a beer and split a board. We sat out on the patio near the fireplace to enjoy what we ordered. I wouldn't recommend taking kids here. I think that it is more for a date night or dinner with friends. Don't walk...run if you haven't already been here. You won't be disappointed.

We just had the best time and food at Postino Central! Abbey was our rockstar server! She was so nice, helpful and genuinely friendly! The food and drinks were great! The Espresso Martini was one of the best! The bruschetta was so good! We loved being able to choose 4 different t kinds! The chocolate brownie was off the hook! We'll be back next time we are in town!

I've been to this location a few times and it's always been inconsistent. Ambiance is definitely chill and casual. Cons Service is not consistent and when you do get it, it is good. There were 3 issues with pricing this last time going. 1. The Happy Hour menu does not explicitly say what is on for HH for $6 glasses so beware of what you're ordering because you might just spend way more than you were planning until you get the receipt. 2. The menu price for the grilled cheese was $13.95 and receipt price was $14.50. 3. The menu price for bruschetta was $16.95 and receipt price was $17.25. Trying to get all 3 fixed was troublesome and took several iterations of me explaining to the staff what was incorrect. It seems like they charge more for lunch and dinner than their brunch menu or their menus are not up to date and you will not find out about true pricing until you get your receipt. Pros Happy hour for $6 before 5pm every day is so good. The food has always been good, so that's a plus. Their grilled cheese is probably my most favorite thing on the menu for the price and bruschetta coming in at second. Their cookie sundae was pretty good and great sharing portion!

The pinnacle of sophistication - a place dedicated to bread and wine. The bruschetta combinations are quite tasty and the ambiance is like a rustic Italian dream in the middle of Phoenix. Service is friendly and prompt. If you're up for some fancy toast and grape juice, this place might just do the trick. Bonus if you come for happy hour, cheers!

Made a reservation for Thursday evening - we were seated right away. My husband and I typically frequent Postino East, so this was a new location to us! We like the layout of the interior much better for this one - it's more spacious and there are more tables. We did not check out the patio - it was cold and dark lol Our group of 5 ordered the following: a bruschetta board (2 goat cheese/spicy pepper jam, prosciutto/fig/marscapone, and bacon/burrata/tomato/basil), two chicken mozzarella panini, and a charcuterie board. We also shared a bottle of French rose (called Nevermind) that featured art from a local phx artist! Everyone enjoyed their food - I also think portions are much more generous than at Postino East - for example, the fig bruschetta typically only comes with one or two small pieces of fig, while ours here was loaded! Same thing with the toppings for the bacon/tomato bruschetta. If this location weren't so far from us, we'd probably switch to this one! The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the service. I do not vibe with sharing servers - it really slows the service down tremendously. We waited awhile after getting drinks before someone came to take our order, then multiple servers came to ask if our order had been taken yet... it also took 15 minutes to get a refill on one person's water at our table.

Absolutely amazing. Got here before the doors opened, looked behind us and there was a long line to get in. My daughter brought her dad and I here to eat for the first time and let me just say, I wish they had one where we live. Servers - AWESOME! The energy and ambiance when you walk in, 10 out of 10! So now let's get to the nitty gritty, THE FOOD! I was extremely impressed. We ordered a Greek hummus board, bruschetta board, hubby got a nine iron sandwich w chips, and a raspberry chicken salad! My words fail me, the food was beyond delish! Everything was so fresh and the presentation amazing. If you're in the Phoenix area YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE!!! Ashley our beautiful Hawaiian server was awesome! I wish I knew everyone else, they were all phenomenal! When my daughter graduates - we will be coming here first and before we leave to head back to Cali!

Came here on a Saturday evening in February and it was packed at 6pm. There is plenty of parking but every spot was full. I drove around a couple of times and managed to snag a spot right by the entrance. Wait time was 40 min for a spot inside but it turned out only to be 20 min. I got a glass of Pinot noir ($18) and my friend and I split two bruschetta boards. We preferred the sweet bruschetta such as the spicy goat cheese jam, Brie and fig, ricotta and pistachio and the mozzarella tomato bruschetta. The second board had prosciutto, corn and some other savory ones and we finished everything but the sweet ones were the favorites. My friend wanted to get a bottle of sparkling wine to go but they said they don't recork the sparkling and she would have to finish the bottle so she just went with a glass. Overall it's a great place to go for a friend date where you want to focus on talking with some food and drinks. This is a very busy location but the service was quick and friendly.

We came here at the suggestion of my brother as he said their happy hour is really good if we get here before 5:00. After a day of hiking we stopped by here for a pitcher of beer to quench our thirst. We didn't realize the pitchers were $6 which is a great deal. We were hungry since we didn't have lunch but we also had dinner reservations in 90 minutes so we didn't want to eat too much. We ordered their chicken and beef skewers which were very good and tender. We will definitely return to the Irvine location when we return home to try their charcuterie boards and the bruschetta sampler.

Postino Central is hip and happening, offers delicious bites, and fun environment which make for a great date night! We had a lovely double date a few weeks ago at Postino and we were all delighted with the experience. Fortunately we have young kids and decided to meet early because this place gets crowded quickly. We were able to snag a corner booth which looked over the entire restaurant and allowed for comfortable seating. The place was booming with people of all different walks of life to enjoy some yummy food, wine, and good times. Our server greeted us and took our drink order immediately; he was very attentive, quick witted, energetic, and insightful regarding the menu. We ordered bruschetta and the raspberry chicken salad and were not disappointed. The bruschetta was excellent; each option met a distinct flavor pallet and were not only delicious but a treat to the eyes as well. The chicken salad was excellent; one of the most flavorful and well balanced salads I have ever had. We didn't have to wait long for anything, Postino Central seems to be a well oiled machine with their ability to quickly and efficiently serve their customers quality food and drink in a seemingly effortless manner. The inside of the restaurant is crowded but comfortably so; they fit as many people as they can inside without taking away from the experience. It's a vibe that makes you feel like the place all the cool adults conjure to (in a fun way). The restrooms are a tad odd with the sliding doors and shared bathroom option, but limited space and changing times allow for such things. Prices at Postino Central are what you'd expect for central Phoenix and quality food and drink. They do have wonderful happy hour prices so if you can get their early it's worth saving a few bucks for a good meal. The menu has lots of little bites and wines to satisfy just about anyone; I look forward to the next batch of bruschetta and trying something new, I suggest you do too!

I can't believe I haven't tried Postino until now! My fiancé and I went out for a date night the other night and we had the best time! Every person we encountered who worked at Postino was so friendly, professional, and nice :) We jumped on the online waitlist around 6:20pm and got there around 7pm when we were 3rd in line on the waitlist. When we came up to the host stand, the hostess with the short blond hair/short bangs was so sweet and helped us get seated right away, even with it being very busy. After we were sat, we got water right away from a server who explained that all the servers there work as a team and will all being assisting us. Caitlin (I may not be spelling this right) was our main server that night and was just so sweet and helpful! When she heard it was our first time there, she was thrilled and immediately decided to bring us a complimentary appetizer on her. After inquiring about allergies or foods we didn't like, Caitlin brought us their seasonal corn/cauliflower bruschetta, which was so tasty. We loved whatever sauce was spread across the bread and the veggies were so good. We were impressed when we found out it was vegan. Becca, the manager, also checked in with us throughout the night and brought us our meals. She was very pleasant and nice, I appreciated her help throughout the evening! We each ordered the half panini, half salad combo, and I loved the French dip and raspberry chicken salad. I'm looking forward to coming back :)

This place was recommended to me by someone who lives in Phoenix and I'm so glad that my boyfriend and I had time to stop in during our visit. We were a little hungry in the late afternoon, too late for lunch, too early for dinner so we stopped in for a quick bite and glass of wine. Even though we didn't stay long it did not disappoint! We were blown away by the prices during Happy Hour! $6 for any glass of wine on the menu! Can't beat that. We ordered the Table Cheese board. The cheeses on the board are "chef's choice" which can be gamble if you're picky. But if not - it's a fun surprise. The ricotta and honey was so yum! The service was great, they use a team style of service so we were checked on very frequently during our time there. After looking into it I realized this is a chain in AZ (maybe other pleases as well?) but it certainly didn't have that cookie cutter feel that most chains have. Very unique spot.

Dinner here saved my life! My boyfriend and I had an idea to try the board and bottle special on a Monday. I had been laying in his room all day as he worked from home, then for dinner we took off for about 2 hours to Postinos. When we got back home, there was a bullet hole in his wall aligned exactly through the spot where I was chilling all day. The bullet was in the sink on the other side of the wall. Though this was a traumatic sight, we were so grateful to have tried this great deal at the perfect time. It really saved my life. Thanks Postinos! This was not sponsored but we'd love to go back and try more bruschettas and wine. It may save our life again.

Yikes with Postinos today! Literally was just posting last month about the service and food and today was a completely different experience. I am going to say my previous rating was a 4 and on a good day it probably will be like that again, but for some reason today was just not a good day. We came as a group of 5 made reservations, they seated us quickly. Drink order and food order went in with 10 minutes of us being in there. The drinks came out quickly, but the food that came out in delayed intervals. We ordered 3 bruschetta boards and some salads and sides and literally the 1st board came out, then 30 minutes after the 1st the 2nd one came out. After that it took us to get the manager involved to get the 3rd board which was over an hour from when we ordered. We brought it up to the waiters attention when he took over our table that we were missing 2 orders, his reply "that's what's up." Followed up again after the 2nd board he reminded us he just came on shift and he could bring the manager over. The manager Bailey was very nice and tried to get the last board out when it finally made it out it was very good. Soooo long story short just be careful ordering too many boards at once. Also make sure you don't come in during a shift change. I come here pretty often so this rating could easily change.

If you're looking for something a little more budget friendly I would highly recommend stopping by Postino's on a Monday or Tuesday night after 8pm for a board of bruschetta and a bottle of wine for $25! On the board you get to pick 4 different types of bruschetta that each come with four slices! The Apple, Brie, and Fig bruschetta is absolutely amazing! The Warm Artichoke is also a favorite! What was an absolute game changer though was the Mexican Street Corn! Will be getting that every time I come back now!! We did not love the Ricotta, Dates, and Pistachio, but it was still decent! We also split the OMG Grilled Cheese which was so delicious!! Would definitely get that again! Overall Postinos is one of my favorites in Phoenix! The central location especially is perfect for a date night!

$20 for a bottle and board on a chilly Tuesday night. The ambiance here is cool, casual and perfect to chat it up. Everyone is so friendly and inviting. The patio is cozy with the lit fireplace, while the indoor area is dark and moody. I came with some girlfriends and we had the best girls night talking about our misfortunes haha. Downside it gets pretty busy especially on the weekends and the parking is limited.

Postinos has always been one of my favorites. Delicious food, delicious drinks, and the service is always on point. I tried their seasonal strawberry shortcake and sweet potato pie bruschetta, for the battle of the bruschetta and it was sooo good. I wish they'd keep both on the menu. The ambiance is always amazing, very clean restaurant, dim lights, and very cozy. This place gets so busy with the board and bottle deal on Tuesdays (and I believe Mondays?) but it's an amazing deal. They have amazing dessert too and treat you well on your birthday. Postinos is the best place to recommend for anyone out of town, they accommodate big groups or small groups and the wait time is usually not bad. This location is a little smaller than some but they still do amazing.

This review is specifically about the food I ordered on my recent visit. I will say I have been here before and ordered other items that were great. On this visit I stopped in for lunch. I got a glass of chardonnay, which was nice and crisp. I ordered the Tuscan Tuna panini on ciabatta. The bread was way over toasted (hard crunch) and the mix of the albacore tuna w white cheddar cheese and pickles +dijon wasn't successful for me. The homemade chips were over done as well. I powered through it and tried to give it a chance but it failed for me. I wanted to try something new on this visit but looks like I will stick to the items I like best.

Another eatery from my hometown of Phoenix has made it once again to The Woodlands. We had the yummy griilled cheese bites and tomato soup and a pitcher...of beer for a Happy Hour that begins very early in the day. They offer Bruschetta boards which we tried and we were a little underwhelmed with the goat cheese and pepper jam. Not enough goat cheese-it was spread very thin like mayonnaise. The bread looked like a whole wheat sandwich bread so that was disappointing too. Service was friendly and restaurant ambiance was perfection. They offer paninis and soups and salads too. Not sure I'll be coming back but a cute place for some drinks and yummy grilled cheese.

My original Postino's is the one in Tempe, but I had to check this location out after moving to downtown. It is very similar but seems to have less beer options, but I'm not sure. It's no longer $5 before 5 but the Monday and Tuesday bottle and board is still a great deal and one of my favorite casual date places. My favorite little hack is that you can still get the peach Bellini in the $6 before 5 deal if you're not feeling the other options. The services is okay, but on busy nights, it's quite slow. Also, if you are in the inside area looking towards central, you're going to be staring at a circle K for the whole time which is pretty distracting but nothing out of their control. The patio is the way to go.

Love this place! This was the first time I had been at this location. Parking is a little tight, but there is some nearby street parking available. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. You need to do a bruschetta board! My favorite is the warm artichoke spread. They slice each one into 4 pieces so it's easy to share. Specialty non-alcoholic drinks don't get free refills, so enjoy them slowly. I really liked the blackberry smash as it was refreshing without being too sweet.

The consistency of the food & service here is unmatched! Came with a friend and I was so impressed I had to bring my husband. I got the same meal on both visits and would probably get it again because it's so dang good. I get the west coaster without feta & the Caesar salad, my husband had the nine iron. The nine iron is really a glorified BLT with chicken but it will be the best one you've ever had! My husband got the chips, but he tried my Caesar salad, he loved it so much he ordered one too! I enjoyed my meal with a glass of the Monograph Moschofilero, I don't drink wine often but the staff is knowledgeable and happy to offer a taste. If you're not looking to drink my husband loved their house made Lemonade. He opted for the original, but they have many flavors. The former server in me hated dining in an hour before close on a Sunday, but Mike our server was awesome. Greeted us quickly, helped me select a glass of wine, offered recommendations on food, and was on top of refills! We also had the pleasure of speaking to the host, she was super friendly, and another server during our meal. They all help each other out to ensure you have a good experience. Now that I've wrote a small book about this place I hope you consider trying it;) great spot for date night or friends. Wine is $6 before 5pm on week days, various brunch deals & they offer outdoor seating too!!

Whenever I come to see my son in Az I always come to Postino it has such amazing boards and bruschetta selections which are my favorite and the wine selections are so great plus the rest of the menu has such great selections. I have order several different items and have always enjoyed everything that I ordered. I wish they would look into coming to Thousand Oaks or Westlake in Ventura county I know it would do really well, the demographics are great for this type of restaurant . The closest one to me is Irvine to far for me in Thousand Oaks.

I am a vegetarian, so warning that this is from that perspective. The crunchy vegetarian Panini is decent, which I would give 3.5 stars. The potato leek soup of the day was excellent, which I would get five stars, as I would order it again. The apple, jam, and blue cheese bruschetta was good at 4 stars. Overall, the service was wonderful.

Hmm, it's almost perfect . If they had a half-star option, I would give it 4.5. 1. I love the food, and the servers are nice. 2. Only have some issues with the receipts. Overall, I love their food. It's a bit salty but has amazing flavors. My husband loves it too! I overordered and asked to cancel a dish, which the server kindly did. As a first-time customer, we even got a free jam and goat cheese toast from the manager, which was delicious! They even bring water for my dog without me asking~ one of the server even double check the price for me, make sure the receipt did not charge the order that I had cancelled. (I feel the care as a customer, thanks~) I was telling my husband I will bring my parents when we visit AZ again. Hahaha but not sure if they still want me there after this comment overall service experience and food quality is excellent! The receipt issue is a bit puzzling. The tax on the QR code and Apple Pay receipts differs by a few cents, which I guess is fine? It's just my feeling this situation is kind of sneaky. But the main thing is I can't figure out why I'm missing $5 when doing the math. 54.40+4.68-5+11.82=70.9? I mentioned the tax discrepancy to the manager, but didn't tell her about the 5 dollar missing (this is my bad). I think she didn't read through the receipt as well. I guess with these kind of situations, it's about the principle than the money. I rather them telling me ahead that "the system is weird, it charges a few cents or even few dollars more, if it happens let us know." then I would have just let it go and walk out the restaurant. But it's another story if I found it out myself, I guess? Third photo is the one dollar they gave me, because of the few cents difference? Lol I guess now I owe them a few cents back (I hope this is not insulting me for asking them the few cents tax questions hahahaha‍) thanks, I will keep it as a coins collection In the end, I think I figured it out. Maybe the system didn't count the discount? Because if I add 5 dollar back then the whole receipt will make more sense I am just so happy when I found out, means that my eyes are still good and I didn't give back my basic math skill to my teacher LOL My only hope is the restaurant improves, (the manager said thanks for letting them know, so I hope it does brings up to their attention, that the system is weird) although it's already close to perfect! I still want all customers to have a great experience with their food or in any restaurants! That's all I care! Thank you so much if you have read this far

Came here to celebrate a friends new job. This is my go to wine spot in central Phoenix. The ambiance is great and the wine selection and food are top notch. Every time I come here I get excellent service. Every single person I interacted with from the host, waiter, and manager were all extremely personable and attentive. They have pretty much every varietal of wine you would want. We ended up getting a glass of the sparkling rose and a bottle of their Chardonnay. The waiter was knowledgeable on the wine and gave some good recommendations. For the food, you can't go wrong with the bruschetta or the charcuterie boards. We got the chefs charcuterie board and a mix of bruschettas. I've been here before and my favorites are the sweet N' spicy pepper jam & goat cheese, smoked salmon & pesto, Brie - apple & fig spread , and the fresh mozzarella & tomato (in that order). All in all, the ambiance, service and selection make this place my go to wine spot. Perfect for date nights. I will definitely be back! Also, be sure to follow them on social media, they are constantly doing promotions and events that provide a lot of good value if you're looking to save a little money!

I took my wife and kids to Postino's with their significant others for a late lunch. My wife and I hadn't been before, but the kids had and had raved about their food. We ordered bruschetta boards and paninis and boy were we impressed! The food was great and so was the service. We especially liked the brie and apple and french onion bruschettas. Our waiter Harrison was very nice and did a great job of explaining the menu to us. We will definitely be back to try more of the bruschetta toppings and cocktails. Keep up the great work!

This is absolutely the worst Postino location. The kitchen is always backed up, and one clueless bartender who cannot acknowledge customers. The ever changing staff have time to talk, laugh and dance with each other, but fail to wait on new customers. Avoid this location !!
