Postino Cinco Ranch

I recently visited Postino Cinco Ranch in Katy, TX, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between chic and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for both adults and families. The drink selection is outstanding. Their wine list is extensive, featuring a variety of options that cater to all palates. I particularly enjoyed the refreshing cucumber honey lemonade, which was both delightful and invigorating .  What truly sets Postino apart is its kid-friendly environment. The staff were incredibly accommodating, ensuring that our little ones felt welcomed and entertained. The spacious patio provided ample room for them to move around safely, allowing the adults to relax and enjoy their meals

My mom, sister and I decided to come here on Saturday to catch up and just chat and we really liked the space, drinks and the cheese table board. The atmosphere was very chic, quiet enough to have a meaningful conversation and the lighting was just right. I also liked that there were mostly grown ups there (nothing wrong with families) but for just a quiet, chill conversation with friends, a date or family, it was perfect. There was even a couple there just sitting and playing cards at the table. I thought it was a pretty neat date idea.

My first visit and I like it! Commendable service, very pleasant and the constant check-ins didn't feel intrusive at all. The food was great! I was not too crazy about my choice of a drink. The environment was quite lively but not noisy. Everyone around me is genuinely having a great time. Posting comes highly recommended. Looking forward to another visit

Came here last July to celebrate my friend's birthday, and we had an awesome time! The atmosphere at Postino in Katy is always on point—it’s lively and the perfect spot for a get-together. We got here on a Sunday morning, so parking was a breeze. For brunch, I decided to try the French toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I was hoping for a classic, savory breakfast-style dish, but what arrived was more like a dessert—very sweet and rich. It was still tasty, just not what I was in the mood for. Despite that one dish, the overall experience was great. The service was good, and the vibe was fantastic. I'm definitely willing to come back and give some other items on the menu a try

I absolutely loved it here! Our waitress was super nice and the food was delicious. My boyfriend and I both got full paninis and they did not disappoint. Also we got the soup of the day which was a loaded baked potato soup and it went so well with our meal. The weather was beautiful, no doubt they’d probably get real busy during dinner time, of even happy hour. There was a flyer on our table and showed they do have specials on certain days. I have to say, you should give this place a try and then walk around the beautiful area.

We dined at Postino on a recent Saturday evening and were pleased to find it relatively uncrowded. Our server was sweet. The food was served unusually quickly which, while efficient, suggested that some items may have been pre-prepared — a suspicion confirmed by the bruschetta. Although the toppings were definitely flavorful, the bread was cold and dry, which significantly diminished the overall experience of what could have been a much more enjoyable dish. The mushroom cheese dip was rather basic — essentially melted cheese topped with sautéed mushrooms — and lacked the complexity or richness one might expect. On a more positive note, the fried cauliflower was reasonably good.

Leslie was amazing! As soon as my party and I entered the restaurant she greeted us with smiles had such a fun and bubbly personality. It was my sister’s birthday and she treated us with such kindness and warmth. We had so much fun sitting out on their patio and after lunch we shopped around the plaza then came back to Postino’s for another round to enjoy their $6 til 5 happy hour special. We would definitely recommend for amazing food, atmosphere and service. Try the bruschetta! The bacon and burrata was fire! 😁

We’ve been here multiple times and it has never disappointed. The food tastes amazing and is also light enough to walk around comfortably after eating. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back here.

Wonderful food, great service, and always memorable! We came here for my husband's birthday and had a great time. The chicken salad was some of the best I've ever had. If you come here for lunch, wine and beer are much cheaper. All of the waitstaff are really nice and helpful!

Very welcoming mid century modern decor. Plenty of free parking nearby. The food is nicely "elevated" versions of soup, salad, and sandwiches. The panini was perfectly toasted on focaccia bread, and the side salad had lots of texture and color with unique combinations of fruit and nuts. Alex was our server, and he was quick and very attentive, and the manager Nicole even stopped by to make sure we were happy. It was a very good meal, and great service considering the price point. I will be back to try more of the menu items.

Postino isn't just a wine bar, it's a thing. I've joined their "wine culture" and get four bottles of their selection every quarter. The restaurant has good food and a fine selection of drinks. If you join their wine culture you get perks like a free glass or snack every now and again.

Yummy. Different. Date night. Lots of crusty bread with various toppings. Serious flavor.

Dinned here twice with my family, the experience is mixed because the first time we came here our service was okay, we felt more rushed and we had to ask for water like 4 times and there was a time that our server went missing lol.. i love their wine and chaqutery board pretty good. We got a bottle of Pinot noir and Sauvignon. The interiors here is very fine. The ambiance is warm and friendly! We would like to visit again!

Consistently good! The goat cheese and meatballs is still my favorite but this time we tried a charcuterie board and a cucumber martini. The martini was not my favorite. It tasted like it came from concentrate. The board was still awesome. Service always friendly and place always clean and not too loud.

We scored coming here after 8pm on a Tuesday night to take advantage of the board and bottle special for $25! We chose four different board choices and enjoyed a bottle of wine in the patio. Service was fantastic! It was a lovely place to sit outside.

Nice place to grab brunch in cinco ranch area. Food variety is good and vegetarian friendly. The drinks looked good and were delicious. Great service. Will definitely come back.

Excellent selection of vegetarian fare ! Dessert was also quite delectable. I am eager to return

This is such a cute and fun spot to just vibe ! The staff was beyond friendly! The food was fresh and filling! Drinks were tasty and strong, my friend and I had an awesome time!

The cutest wine cafe in the area!! Love that they have outdoor and indoor seating, both have such different vibes. You can walk around outside or shop after if you wanted!! My top bruschetta toasts (I've tried nearly all of them haha): - sweet N spicy pepper jam & goat cheese - Brie, apple & fig spread - smoked salmon & pesto - Mexican street corn (this one was very unique and had a bit of sweet and spice to it) My least fav: - salami and pesto: just felt like these didn't pair well, prefer the smoked salmon one more - mushroom & mascarpone (too mushy for my liking and you have to love mushrooms for this one lol) - fresh mozzarella, tomato, & basil (the tomatoes were mushy and it didn't have much flavor)

Restaurant is so cute- love the wall of phones! I ordered the bruschetta "sampler". You chose 4 - all were delicious! Favorite was ricotta with dates and pistachios!!! And the aeperol spritz was delicious - staff very friendly and attentive

Update: went back and sat inside for lunch. I was more impressed this time with the quality of the food and the service. We had two people checking on us, offering drinks to go, etc. I also enjoyed the atmosphere a bit more inside surprisingly. The bruschetta board was very filling and very shareable. I will be back!

I've been here a few times now, I like the ambience and food is mostly good. Love the phones on the wall behind the bar. This recent trip I ordered the seasonal spiced salami panini but I didn't love it. It was also ham and chorizo but it was so thin, mostly bread. Really skimped out on the meat. It's always best to go with the bruschetta. The spicy jam one is good but such a thin layer, I'd prefer to order those that are more filling/have more toppings. Bathroom is a vibe, love the design there. This is a great spot to catch up with friends over wine and light bites or light lunch. I don't recommend for dinner unless you want a light dinner.

Ambiance is awesome. Went at least at lunch and looked like Katy's finest people there drinking wine and laughing. Food was excellent. Had a soup and Sandwich. Staff was welcoming and the manager from California was excellent welcoming us for visiting and checking to make sure all is good. I highly recommend and felt like its geared towards an adult crowd. If you didn't like it let me know but I think you will love it.

Wife and I were looking for a place to relax for a few minutes as the our boy was at local orthodontist for a longer appt. She had been at Postino a few days prior and recommended we try it. So we did. She had a glass of something wine and I had a local craft on tap. The menu had a lot of great offerings but considering it was only 3:00pm, we chose the "build your own bruschetta board". That's a deal. She picked two and I chose two and it was a lot of food - for two. Everything was great. Will certainly come back.

Perfect for a cute date night or quick friends gathering. Love the low lighting and warm feel of the place. Absolutely love the $25 bottle of wine with the charcuterie board. How can you beat that? run don't walk. I'll definitely be back.

Great Spot for Brunch!! I will say, the menu is a little limited. It looks like a place better suited to brunch rather than lunch/dinner. We had a variety of items off the menu: the charcuterie board; bruschetta boards; and paninis. Amongest the table, our favorites were the Brie, Apple & Fig; Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone; and Smoked Salmon & Pesto Bruchettas; the Shrimp Scampi; and the Charcuterie board. The service was a little bit slow. We kept having to track down a server to help us although there seemed to be plenty working. However, whenever we could grab a hold of a server, they were all quite friendly. The ambiance is open and casual. Lots of interest decor and foliage inside. Fair warning: It gets HOT inside. Although it was over 100 degrees outside, the restaurant had all of the doors propped open. As we stayed into the afternoon, the restaurant got packed and it kept on getting hotter and hotter.

Finally got around to try this place for brunch / lunch with a friend. I tried the prosciutto & brie panini sandwich and my friend had the focaccia stack. Both meals were freshly prepared and I really enjoyed the salad mix and house made dressing. We also had the cast iron sticky buns which were sweet and savory; would go well with coffee. The service was good and the wait staff checked on us often. For our brunch beverage we had the a sparkling rose' with grapefruit and it was light and refreshing. I plan to come back and try more brunch/lunch items and for dinner and try the wine selections. The ambiance is casual but more adult brunch feels so not a menu for kids. Next time I would like to dine outside to enjoy the fireplace.

Came here for lunch and service was good. I got the vegetarian panini and the prickly pear lemonade. Both were solid. The sandwich got messy but still good.

! - Restaurant: Postino, Cinco Ranch (San Antonio, TX) -- There's an old adage in the culinary world that often gets overshadowed by elaborate recipes and intricate cooking techniques: simplicity is key. This philosophy's essence lies in letting ingredients' natural flavors shine through, unadulterated and unmasked by excessive seasoning or complex preparations. It's a principle that celebrates the purity and authenticity of food, reminding us that sometimes, the simplest dishes are the most satisfying. This restaurant has really made great foods simple with the natural beauty of the ingredients. - Michael Glinter has traveled to 68 countries and 36 states to get the flavor of some amazing foods. His view on reviews is simple - Taste, Presentation, and Service. He believes telling the reader a positive and negative unbiased look at the restaurant is essential. Let's talk food. - STARTERS: Bruschetta Board: I believe the highlight of this visit was the custom Bruschetta Board. You have a selection of 4. We picked Brie, Apple & Fig Spread, Burrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato, Smoked Salmon & Pesto, and the Chef's special, a Homemade Hummus topped with fresh Tomatoes. -- First on the menu was the Brie, Apple & Fig Spread bruschetta. With a delicate balance of creamy brie, crisp slices of apple, and the sweet, jammy notes of fig spread, this rendition of the classic Italian appetizer was a revelation. The creaminess of the brie mingled harmoniously with the apple's tartness and the fig's richness, creating a flavor profile that was at once comforting and sophisticated. -- Next up was the Burrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato bruschetta, a twist on a timeless combination. The creamy burrata, adorned with crispy bacon, peppery arugula, and juicy tomatoes, was texturally advanced but an amazing combination and contrast of flavors, with the smokiness of the bacon complementing the creamy richness of the burrata, while the freshness of the arugula and tomatoes added a burst of brightness. -- Smoked Salmon & Pesto bruschetta: The delicate slices of smoked salmon, adorned with a dollop of vibrant pesto, danced atop perfectly toasted bread, creating a harmony of flavors that was both elegant and satisfying. The richness of the salmon was balanced beautifully by the herbal notes of the pesto, resulting in a dish that was as visually stunning as it was delicious. - Chef's special: Homemade Hummus topped with fresh Tomatoes. This bruschetta was a celebration of simplicity done right. The velvety smoothness of the homemade Hummus provided the perfect canvas for the bright, juicy tomatoes, which burst with flavor in every bite. A sprinkle of fresh herbs added a pop of color and freshness, elevating this seemingly humble dish to new heights. - MAIN ENTREES The Raspberry Chicken Salad presents a delightful fusion of flavors and textures, elevating the classic chicken salad to new heights. Succulent pieces of chicken mingle with a medley of ingredients, including crunchy almonds and pecans, crisp apples, and the distinct tang of gorgonzola cheese, all nestled atop a bed of fresh mixed greens. However, what truly sets this salad apart is the exquisite raspberry vinaigrette that drapes each ingredient in a symphony of sweet and tangy notes. Its vibrant hue hints at the burst of fruity flavor it imparts, perfectly complementing the savory elements of the dish. With each forkful, the palate is treated to a harmonious dance of savory and sweet, making the Raspberry Chicken Salad a tantalizing and refreshing choice for any occasion. - Prepare to have your taste buds transported to a realm of pure culinary ecstasy with the OMG Grilled Cheese. This extraordinary creation takes the beloved classic to unprecedented heights, boasting layers of decadent gruyere, velvety whipped brie, tangy goat cheese, and sharp white cheddar. But the indulgence doesn't stop there. Nestled between the layers of cheese lies crisp, smoky bacon, adding a savory depth that tantalizes the senses. As if that weren't enough, this grilled cheese masterpiece is served alongside a creamy tomato soup dip, offering the perfect accompaniment to the gooey, cheesy goodness. With each bite, you're enveloped in a symphony of flavors and textures that is nothing short of sensational. Prepare to be amazed by the OMG Grilled Cheese - a culinary revelation that will leave you craving more. -- Overall, the restaurant had a great vibe, the service was excellent, and the food was on point. My only complaint was the presentation on the main dishes were pretty blah. Definitely a great place for all types of occasions, and loved the Cinco Ranch area in general.

We just stopped in for an appetizer and drink because they had a sign with a special "$6 til 5" for wine by the glass & beer by the pitcher. I had the creme brûlée. It was good. Good outdoor patio atmosphere.

I removed 1 star just because it is a bit pricy for what it is. But the decor inside is 10/10 sooo cute! Our server Jackson was the bomb, and our food was delish! I will say, the amount of salad that came out was the smallest salad I've ever seen. Overall, a great little place to check out.

I was brought to this location by a friend and when I say I was so excited once the door opened I was able to get a little work done, laugh, chill, relax all in one. The board Artichoke BruschettaBrie and Fig Spread Panini and the merlot/ Cabernet was magnificent with the music and atmosphere. This will be a go 2 for La Caterra in Katy. The waiters were all great even when there's a small hiccup, the problem will be fixed in no time without cause.

Came here for the tree lighting a couple of weeks ago. They had a booth out front with wine. There was a rude African American girl working it. She gave me the stank eye for no reason. She acted like i was bothering her when i asked what they were selling out there. If she didn't want to work, she should've stayed home. The tree lighting is a festive and fun time. People want to see smiles and friendly customer service. She was so rude that i don't even want to eat or drink at that establishment. Manager needs to choose friendlier people to do their job. Especially when it's right outside the restaurant.

The atmosphere was really fun! It wasn't loud even though it was definitely busy. We had a great server as well. She explained the options and just had great energy. The food!! We participated in the bruschetta contest they are currently hosting and we tried them all. I recommend the street corn and the apple ones. I was pleasantly surprised by the tastiness of the apple one.

Surprised Michelle with a trip to this spot for her birthday, since she loves charcuterie boards. I have to say that we were both a little stunned at the setting. It was a little crowded, which is "par for the course" when it comes to this area on just about any weekend, but the thing that seems to be a theme for a couple of the restaurants, like this, is the lack of usable lighting. The sun had just dipped behind the horizon when we got there and the place looked like a vampire's bedroom. We were seated almost immediately (choosing inside over being in the sticky air on the patio; in a half booth with chair, near the bar) and as we were looking at the menu, a staff member - who was walking around with a tray of small candles - shoved one under Michelle's hand and kept walking. Sheesh! We still wound up having to use the light from our phones to see the menu. Our waiter was attentive and able to suggest menu items. Along with an IPA and Hyperveisen, Michelle ordered the CHEF'S CHARCUTERIE (prosciutto di parma, spanish chorizo, salami, whipped feta, chef's cheese pick, olive, almond hummus, charred artichoke, blistered sweet pepper, crostini, lavash bread), while I settled for the CHICKEN & MOZZARELLA (roasted chicken, fresh mozzarella, arugula, red onion, minus the spicy sun-dried tomato aioli) and a Chicken\Beef Skewer. The food was good and we had a nice time. A later afternoon return visit just might be in order. We'll see.

Love their boards and wine! Service is great and really attentive. My husband has gotten some of the sandwiches and enjoyed them. They have one of my favorite white wines. The only thing I've gotten there that I wasn't a big fan of was the mushroom fondue. It's more like a thick soup than a fondue.

Great service and charcuterie snacks. This is a great place to people watch and have a drink. If you're hungry, it's not a good option because it has more of a wine tasting vibe than a dinner venue... not a bad thing, but just a heads up. Can't wait to go back for the Chef's board.

First time at Postino and it was a great experience! Nani was our waitress for the evening and she is so friendly and attentive. My friend and I stopped in after work on a Friday evening to catch up. I was able to sample two different wines and both were delicious. I settled on the moscato after being told that it is a favorite. We ordered the crispy cauliflower for an appetizer and it was good. I ordered the Tuscan Tuna panini on ciabatta bread and it was phenomalllll. My friend didn't really enjoy her panini though, sad. Should've gotten the tuna, honey. Anywho, we had a great experience and I will be returning. We were encouraged to try the Saturday/Sunday brunch so we shall see.

Wanted to try something new for a change! We didn't want to eat too heavy, but wanted some light drinking options to just relax and kill some time. Postino's is a great place to have both. Great ambiance, very laid back yet has a classy feel, customer service is great. No complaints. We got a bottle of wine and 2 bruschetta boards. Excellent!! You can't go wrong with the bruschetta board. My favorite was the smoked salmon/pesto and Brie, apple, fig spread. Salami pesto was also good. Would definitely come back to Postino's for a great date night out.

Good front staff customer service. Guest WLAN blows and is unreliable. House wine and brunch selection. I'd get the cheese board and ended up getting their brunch remix and apricot fused salad with a group. It here seems to be a disconnect what is put in or ordered, and proactive refills and attention by your waiters after you've been seated. They crank up the music a little too loud when it gets busy for lunch hour. Overall decent taste and pricing for the area. Confusions front entrance; is actually on the street side.

Friday 7:00pm . Was seated right away. Party of 1 not to hard. 10min no waiter have came by to talk to me yet. 20 min. So I just left. No one even come to speak to me or ask if I was ready to order. . Lmao

The staff and management are all first class out here. This is the PERFECT place for a business meeting, a date or having a classy place to hang out with good friends. Food is amazing and pairs well with their excellent wine selection as well. If you haven't tried this place, you need to do so ASAP!

Wanted to check this restaurant out for happy hour on Friday, but it ends at 3:00pm. We arrived at 7:00pm, seated at the bar, the bar tender greeted us at 7:10, took our order started our tab at 7:22. We were served water and our glasses of wine. A couple arrived after us, as well as single gentleman, and they sat at the bar as well. Both customers got their food before us. We asked the bartender, he said he would look into it. We waited 10 minutes and he was still behind the bar. When he saw me get up, he told the manager something was up with our order and she searched for our order in their system. I told them to close our tab, and we left by 8:10pm. Very poor first impression. We will not return nor recommend.

Great food and amazing people who work there!! Ambiance is superb. Highly recommend this place.

We wanted a light dinner and some great wine. Went to Postino by suggestion. The outside patio is the cutest. Heaters and fireplace. We were quite cozy out there. We shared a few dishes. The standout by far was the Roasted Cauliflower! I could eat that every single day. It is a rather healthy dish but they made it taste incredibly indulgent. Yummmm

We walked in not knowing anything about the place. A wonderful server, Makenzie easily led us into their incredible world of boards laden with antipasto, sumptuous sandwiches and original "palmers". I would definitely go again!

This Postino location has a really great vibe. Pretty nice ambiance to meet with friends or for drinks after work. All servers are attentive and they are constantly rotating to your table making sure all your orders are taken cared off. Also, the food is really great. The bruschettas boards are definitely my go-to as every single option is delicious. The rest of the menu is great too and the portions are a good size as well.

The food was amazing here. I ordered the bruschetta board with moscato and it was delicious. Worth every penny i must say specially with how the service was and the ambiance included. Jackson did an amazing job explaining to us our meal and our bottle and the rest of the staff was friendly and amazing. I'm blessed to say I live extremely close by to this location

A new spot in La Centerra! Super fun decor and very trendy vibe. They have a telephone wall, definitely have to check that out. The menu is very healthy. I got the mixed green salad, not bad. A fun mixture of items, the nuts added crunch and the lemon sauce nice zing. I found a hair in my salad though so that knocked it down a bit :( I would pass on the lemonade next time, not my favorite. It was kind of bitter :/ Great service though! Our waitress was super sweet and recommended a lot of great things.

Postini's is amazing! Jackson, our waiter, was spot on. Love this place - ambience is wonderful for a date night or a night out with friends! Thank you Jackson for making our visit a pleasant evening! We enjoyed the wine! As a note recommend the Antioch Zin and the Hi Rise Sauv Blanc!

Service is awful and ridiculously slow here. Waited almost 30 minutes for our drinks and almost an hour for our food. Waited again when we needed refills on our drinks and when our waitress brought our check. It is a beautiful spot and the food is great as always at Postino, but the service sadly ruins the whole experience.

Service is disappointing. Hidden costs. Each visit the food quality suffers. Scorched broccoli must never leave the kitchen, every customer deserves better.

Had such high hopes for this place, not experience was mediocre. Service was lacking and food looked rushed and incomplete. Luckily we ordered drinks to get our minds off that. Ambiance is cute, but not really child friendly. Location is more family friendly, just not the restaurant itself.

Came for brunch on a Sunday and everything was delicious. I had the flat breads and mimosas. They have a good variety of beverages and you can order from the regular menu or brunch menu. Our waitress was attentive and always made sure our drinks were full. Cute place and wasn't too busy. They have a nice patio for good weather days as well.

Service was great the bruschetta was awful. The goat cheese was spread so, so thin like mayonnaise. The bread was not rubbed with a garlic clove, toasted, nor did it have olive oil on it. This is not bruschetta. I expected a DOLLOP of goat cheese, an appropriate portion for the price. The chips were old and stale and unappetizing. The sautéed shrimp dish had an excellent sauce but unfortunately the shrimp was not sautéed but thrown in pink. The panini was ok. The drink specials were very good. The bruschetta on the left is what I expected. The mess on the right that looks like pizza is what I got.

I love the Montrose location and I was so happy to hear they opened a location so close to us! We went in on a night we were just bored at home and ended up having a super chill date night. Everything was spot on. The ambiance was great, the food was good and the service was great! Our waitress was chill and attentive making sure to explain menu items and give us recommendations but not overbearing which is a major plus for us! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

5 stars for server Jackson!! He was great attentive, great personality, and recommended things on the menu! Overall great experience. The food was so yummy! Mexican corn bread board for the win!!!

We love Postinos and our waiter Jackson was so awesome! He recommended the new mushroom fondue and wow!
