Postino East

This place was a success. We went for a late lunch and had amazing food and well-priced beer. The service was great and the outside space was really cute. Can’t wait for the next time.

First time ordering here. The food and descriptions looked amazing online. I had it delivered from Uber eats, it only took about 10 minutes to get here but my food was not at all what I thought it would be. Tomato soup very runny and tasted more like it was watered down with tiny flavor. Sweet potato fries not so good at all either.. Very greasy, no seasoning of the sesame seed but maybe a toss of 3 tiny little chive sprinkles.. and the dip was even worse, even after I warmed it up still packed with layers of grease.. Side Romano salad with my panini was probably the only item that was decent. Maybe my order would of been better eating inhouse :), but again it only took 10 minutes for delivery to get here ... IDK, Just Very disappointed, I was really looking forward to trying a New Place :(:(

Our first time here was fantastic! Our server was incredibly nice, and the hostess happily accommodated our request to sit outside, which was lovely. The "board" we ordered was really tasty, and the whole ambiance was great. We'll definitely be visiting again. Thank you!

On July 4th, 2025, I reserved a table at Postino East to celebrate my daughter’s 14th birthday. Our party included myself, my daughter, and three of her friends. We arrived five minutes before our reservation time and were seated immediately. The food arrived quickly, was delicious, and the pricing was reasonable—$200 for a birthday meal for five people felt fair. However, the service left much to be desired. 1. Hostess: The hostess who greeted us did not smile or offer a warm welcome, despite us arriving in good spirits for our first visit. She asked my name, removed the “reserved” sign from the table directly behind the hostess stand, and walked away without a word or a smile. 2. Table setting: Although I reserved a table for five and noted that it was for my daughter’s 14th birthday, the table was set for only four. This lack of attention to detail was disappointing. 3. Service: Our server, Ethan, introduced himself and took our drink orders: three prickly pear lemonades, one Sprite, and one iced tea, along with five waters. While the drinks and food arrived promptly, no one noticed that we were missing a set of utensils, so I had to ask another server for the fifth set. Ethan did not check on us at all during the meal. Our drinks were empty halfway through our meal and remained that way until the end of the meal. When Ethan finally returned to ask if we wanted dessert, I requested refills for the kids, and the check. Other than taking our order and payment, there was no interaction or follow-up from Ethan. He did walk by a few times to other tables. Was Ethan rude? He was not. He was simply indifferent to us being there. Despite the lackluster service, I still left a 20% tip, out of respect for servers who often rely on tips—though in this case, it was not earned through attentive service from anyone - least of all Ethan and the hostess. As we left, the hostess remained as silent as she had been when we arrived. I said “thank you” and wished her a good day, because good manners cost nothing. Kindess and a smile are free. Unfortunately, I gave far more courtesy than we received from the staff at Postino East. It’s disappointing that what should have been a special first visit to celebrate my daughter’s birthday was marred by inattentive and indifferent service. We received better treatment at Topo across the street when we stopped there for ice cream—just a smile and a greeting made a difference. Postino East can and should do better. I don’t know what assumptions were made about us when we walked in, but I assure you this was my first—and last—visit to your establishment. Highly disappointed.

This place has been a to go spot for us for years. Their great selection of beer and wine paired with great food makes this place all over the valley a must visit. My only gripe lately is that their meet and cheese boards are more fillers than actual meet and cheese. I wish they would give an option to add more cold cuts and cheese options. They can charge for it, but at least I would get what I want.

Always an enjoyable time. Wine has (what feels like) gone up in price with the average price per glass being $15, beer is around $7 per glass or can and the food is around $15 as well. It is still a great place to grab a drink, snack and enjoy a conversation.

Postino has the best bruschetta boards around, with both sweet and savory options that are seriously delicious. They’re doing a fun Battle of the Bruschetta right now, where you try new flavors and vote for your favorite. I’m excited to keep trying the new combos in the next battles.

I've been to the Scottsdale location and always had a good experience. I saw this location and was excited to take my family. At this location, we were sat right away. It was busy, so I understood that it took our server a little bit to take our drink order. Once our server arrived, he took our drink order and asked if we wanted anything to start off with. We ordered a board, and my husband ordered a salmon board. We said he would put that in and come back to take our order. Another staff member delivered our drinks, another delivered our food. Once our appetizers arrived, I realized we never got silverware or napkins. I had to flag someone down for it. We kept waiting for our server to return so we could place our actual food order and our daughter's meal. My daughter kept saying she was hungry, and I wasn't sure why our server never came back. We tried to give her some of the appetizers, but she didn't want any, so we waited. He finally came back after being M.I.A for nearly our whole time. I then let him know we wanted to order a meal for our daughter and would have liked a drink refill. At this point, we no longer wanted to order anything else. It took another while till our daughters meal came out since it was busy. He then came by and gave us our refill and the check. At that point, I just wanted to leave. I was highly disappointed in the service. The food was good but the service needs work.

We had Sean as our server, and this beautiful chocolate man was serving (in more ways than one) and was a vibeee

I have been coming to postino for a long time and what I can say is I'm always surprised by the service i receive from the bartenders, always kind and very observant, especially Garrett, he is always in a good mood every time I come in. He is someone who creates relationships with every guest and even remembers my name after one brief conversation and hasn't forgot it.

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!

I always have a great time when I stop in at Postinos. They have a great happy hour which I always pick up a bottle of wine at, the perfect wine is my favorite. My favorite bruschetta board they have is the apple fig one, it's so amazing. This time I had their meatballs with goat cheese and those were great as well. I've been here very often and everything I've had is amazing!

Sadly as long time patrons who spend a lot of money here, being people from all over the world, support and tip the staff well AND overlook service errors and issues this place has really changed They want to nickel and dime you over everything God forbid with certain bartenders you complain or ask for anything I will definitely adjust my tips in the future and think twice about coming here when I have PLENTY OF OTHER OPTIONS YOU COULDNT GIVE ME 1/2 oz of dressing?? Gtfoh

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!)

07-25-2025 Got Postino delivered for lunch and to try the last two flavors of the Battle of the Bruschetta 2025 - Cherry Cannoli and Hot Honey Sweet Potato. Also got a half order of the Green Garden Chicken Chop Salad. All of the food was packaged well and tasted fresh. I liked Cherry Cannoli, but the flavor and texture of the Hot Honey Sweet Potato won me over. This was my first time trying the Green Garden salad, and I really enjoyed it, especially the lemon champagne vinaigrette. I would definitely order it again.

It's not the first time I've left an outstanding review for Postinos (any location), and it won't be the last I'm sure! Everything they do is excellent! The service is above and beyond EVERY TIME. Today we sat at the bar and Garrett was absolutely perfection. Fun, intuitive and thoughtful! He offered us extra bread for our mushroom fondue, made great recommendations for our food and drink choices, and grabbed a towel soaked with soda water when my friend spilled on her shirt. Apart from that, the atmosphere is lively (even on a midday Tuesday), the food is a flavorful adventure and happy hour drink pricing all day until 6! Thanks to all, from the front of the house to the back of the kitchen, for yet another incredibly enjoyable experience!

...what in the pretentious hell has happened to Postino? Brunch here used to be delicious and affordable (ahem, please bring back the country toast...) But it's like they got caught up in being "Postino" and just overcharge for smaller plates of food. I miss the days when brunch at Postino meant 2 slices of soft, toasted bread, perfectly cooked eggs, melty cheese, and crisp bacon. Now it's a bigger price point for half the food that's not cooked with love but (ugh, I'm going to say it...) a side of conceit. From lackluster service to plates of food that have apparently jumped on the ozempic trend, it's no longer a great meal that I'd shell out a few extra dollars for. Now it's a pass.

Meh. If you don't come here for happy hour you're going to wonder why a couple of pretzel sticks, 4 pieces of a sausage link, and some corn nuts thrown on a board costs $17. The "smoked old fashioned" is in fact not smoked at all. I normally don't leave reviews like this but this place is dirty, my table was sticky. The food and atmosphere is played out and the service sucks unless you sit at the bar.

5* mostly because of the ambiance! We sat outside. Everything was soooooo cute! Food came out displayed beautifully! The drink specials were so good. We definitely got our moneys worth. The waiters were pretty quick. I would have liked if they knew the menu better. They couldn't answer many of my questions. But I was able to find pictures online to make my decisions.

Postino's is one of my favorite places. I'm a regular and I have to say that Sean is the best server at Postino's. I'm always so excited when he happens to be working. He is charming, funny, attentive, and everyone man should wear the cologne this man wears. All hail Sean.

This was my second visit to this location and the food and drinks were great as usual! I had a delightful cucumber cocktail that was light and refreshing. My fiance and I shared a yummy bruschetta board and then each got the choose two option with half of a panini and either a soup or salad. The food was absolutely delicious, as always. Four stars because we were there on a Monday night and the service was quite slow and hard to find waiters at times.

Great cocktails! The prosciutto and Brie panini is to die for! I love that the patio offers plenty of shade

I'm afraid to jinx things by saying this but Postino always gets it right. Nearby restaurants tend to have ups & downs as far as food quality and service but Postino is consistently tasty, accurate and reasonable. Staff is very helpful and fun.

Stopped in on a Saturday evening to use my birthday coupon! It wasn't very busy and we were seated immediately. My husband and I love to split the bruschetta board and a sandwich. We opted for the side salad instead of the chips with the sandwich - idk what they put in their dressing, but it's SO good. We love the food here! My only complaint is service. We have been to multiple Postino locations throughout the valley (Postino East is the closest for us), but this one always misses the mark on service for us. We waited about ten minutes before someone even approached our table for drinks.

They were super busy today but very efficient. The bruschetta board and pitcher of O'Dell sour sipping beer were delicious. TY

Wow. The vibe is this place is awesome. Stopped here first before I bar hopped around downtown Gilbert. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 6/5 - Sits on the corner with great lighting and a really nice vibe. I highly recommend just stopping by to grab a quick bite and a drink. Staff - 5/5 - Really nice bartenders who are very friendly and attentive. I was sitting next to some locals and everyone was just having a great time. Food/Drink - I could have stayed here for a while, but my goal was to visit as many places as I could during this trip. I came during happy hour, and they have $6 pitchers of beer, which was a nice start. Ordered the following food items: Meatballs & Goat Cheese - 5/5 - Very flavorful between the meatballs and the goat cheese. Crispy Cauliflower - 5/5 - I actually enjoyed the capers on this. Overall, the vibe alone was nice enough for me to stop by here. I definitely recommend and would come back the next time I am here.

This was our first time to Postino East and Madalyn, our server made our visit so enjoyable! We had lots of questions about the menu and she was so helpful ! Absolutely loved the food and a yummy birthday dessert topped it off!! We'll be back!! Michel, Chassi, Leslie, Janeen

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.

One of the most filling things I've put in my mouth. One of the best things I've ever had. When I tell you, the salmon on the make your own board was better than having kids, I mean it.

Took wife here for birthday dinner and waitress was so incredibly rude, food portions were teeny, and to be honest I thought it was not cool that the waitress wouldn't even simply say "happy bday" or even acknowledge it. We are NOT demanding people and totally realize that it's very lame to expect the red carpet treatment for an adult birthday, but still she could've been a LOT more pleasant and made the dinner a little more enjoyable.. most will prob disagree but I'm not a big fan

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!!!

Loved visiting this local restaurant. I've been wanting to go here for years. I was visiting from Seattle and my friend offered for us to go here. Enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and the service! First of all our waiter, Sean was just fabulous and provided great suggestions and feedback on what to try. He was always spot on. Absolutely loved the sweet and spicy jam bruschetta and prosciutto with fig. I asked for a side of sweet and spicy jammed had more to everything. So good. The PREAM bowl was delicious as well. The red sauce is fabulous. Had a great bottle of wine on the happy hour for $24. Such a great deal. Can't wait to come back.

As a local resident I have been to postino many times. Each time is consistent and delicious. What made my recent experience different: Victoria and (I believe) Ethan. Victoria is well versed on the menu, food allergens and ensuring that a GF person can eat without fear. She learned it was our anniversary and was delighted to celebrate with us. She and Ethan gave us beautiful cards wishing us a great anniversary and wonderful day. For the food review, the GF bruschetta board is enough to share with the entire table. You get to pick 4 "flavors" and all of the staple varieties are also GF. My fav is the Mexican street corn (which I learned is going away :(. In this experience I also tried pistachio and date. This was my least favorite. The texture was a bit gritty. This was not a kitchen error, just not a texture I enjoyed...so I recommend just doubling up on your street corn instead! Locals and visitors alike, postino is a must try. The patio misted and moderately protected from the sun. Go and plan to eat, drink and enjoy the all around relaxing environment!

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.

Consistently great service, bruschetta that is like artwork (not kidding - TRY IT!!!) and a great patio vibe with tons of varied seating - including dog friendly areas! Lots of fun to chill with friends and very close to other fun spots to cruise through in the Heritage District. From manager to hostess, these folks have it going on. Thanks, y'all!

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.

The ambiance is perfect for a date night or night out with friends. The service is top notch and I've never sat long without a refill. The boards are delicious and enough to feed several people. Parking is relatively close to the location as well.

Had my daughter's bridal brunch today. Our server Sean was so attentive and fun. Thank you for the great food and drink recommendations. We were not disappointed. Thank you Sean for making my daughter feel special. We will be back and request you!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Sean was absolutely awesome and very attentive. They had a great attitude and were super funny :) Sat at the couches which were super comfy and had great ambiance. Great recommendations and food as well! Definitely coming back :)

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.

My best friend and i came for a late night glass of wine to chat on a tuesday night and we were lucky enough to get Jordan C as our server he made our experience fun and joyful he was very attentive and knowledgeable on the menu will definitely be back!!

Great place to go to enjoy some wine and bruchetta. Friendly staff to help you with your wine selections which is good for a novice like me.

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.

Fantastic boards and vino today. No surprise there! However the staff was amazing. Special shout out to Madilyn as she was above and beyond! If I can ask for a specific server, I'll definitely do that!!! Top notch!

Jordan our server was delightfully funny, charming, kind & knowledgeable about the menu and we will definitely be back more often than not

My friends enjoy coming here. Not only for the good food but a place to just enjoy the scenery. It's located in the heart of downtown Gilbert. Postinos has this charm about it. I realized after ordering some bruschetta and a cheese board to share which I love to share. We had to order the famous cauliflower appetizer. All of it was so good. Since we were there for HH my friends ordered a glass of wine for 6$. The wait staff is very nice. One of favorites place to meet up.

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!

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.

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!

The food was amazing! The service was superb! The atmosphere is awesome! We went for a girls night and it was such a good vibe!

The perfect place to grab a glass of wine and bruschetta while sitting on their sunny patio! They have great happy hour deals- $6 for any glass of wine or pitcher of beer before 5pm. The Bonny Doon orange wine is so good and unique, you have to try it! As for their food, their cheese board and bruschetta board are incredible. The service is always friendly and quick, even when they are busy. Can't wait to come back to celebrate at Postino!

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.

I love this location. The staff is amazing and the location is great. Have to name drop Shawn for being the actual best server I have ever had in my life. I love you.
