The food at Postino Del Mar is consistently delicious, and the whole place has a trendy, welcoming vibe. It's perfect for group dining or a casual meal with a friend. I made a lunch reservation for seven, and we were seated at a great outdoor table with plenty of space--ideal for sharing lots of dishes.
I've tried a good portion of their menu over multiple visits, including the cauliflower, grilled cheese, bruschetta boards, paninis, salads, and soups. Honestly, I haven't had a single item I didn't enjoy. The grilled cheese comes sliced into small portions--perfect for sharing--and the tomato soup is smooth, warm, and incredibly comforting. Truly a flawless combo. My favorite panini is the prosciutto and Brie. Yum.
This was my second time at the Del Mar location, and parking is pretty easy, especially during the day. In the evenings the lot can fill up, so arriving about 10 minutes before your reservation is a good idea.
Huge shoutout to Alex, our server, who was fantastic. He was gracious, knowledgeable, and somehow kept track of everyone's order--even with a big, slightly chaotic group. All our food came out on time, and his recommendations were spot on. Definitely ask him for his favorite bruschetta spreads! He also had wonderful recommendations for those of us who are not drinkers. The non-alcoholic selection here is amazing.
