BEWARE... walking in here will bring you extreme joy and happiness not only to you and your friends who join you here but also your mouth, toung, taste buds and tummy! Before entering make sure you are ready for an experience! 😋 From their house beers and wines, to their plane simple, crispy cauliflower dish, sauces, cheese or Bruschettas, anything and everything is simply wooooow!!! 😋🥰🤗🥸🤓 What makes the entire experience even more special was the staff. Noah was extremely warm, friendly, and helpful with helping us choose some amazing things off the menu. We had their delicious Moscato wine along with their seriously amazing crispy cauliflower, (I call it "the illegal" it's simply soooooo good, it should be illegal) 4 options of their mouthwatering bruschetta. I simply can't wait back to check out those paninis, salads and charcuterie boards.

Been many many time and thought time to write review. Seated at bar and attended to immediately. Bottle of rosé wine was served within 10 minutes and ice bucket appeared without asking right away. Bartenders were very attentive the entire time and extremely pleasant and professional. It was very busy on a Saturday yet they made the time for us repeatedly. Food was prompt and served hot. Great vibes. Chill atmosphere. My only observation is I dislike servers wearing ripped snd torn clothing which I think very unprofessional and not cool and not Sure why it is encouraged and it is a turn off for me.

Overall 5/5: Unique bruschetta offerings that taste delicious. We visited this place for the bruschetta and it did not disappoint. There were many unique selections and we tried many of the different bruschetta options. Our favorites included the “sweet n’ spicy pepper with goat cheese” and the “brie, apple, and fig spread.” We also ordered the cheese board which was also very tasty. Definitely recommend this place for more unique food options that you don’t find everywhere.

Did I get lucky or what? All the times I’ve been to Postino, how on earth did I manage to miss the brunch menu?! Is this a Kierland only thing? Make sure to check it out (pictured)! Anyways, we had a reservation for a birthday celebration, and the server had nicely arranged a dessert surprise for my friend. It’s a small lovely gesture but meant so much!! Our table was set at a somewhat private area behind the hostess desk, which I appreciated.

Notable wine bar with daily happy hour until 5:00 pm. They have superior wines and an appetizing food menu. We ordered the Stagedive Pinot Noir and split the Chef's Charcuterie - both favorites. This location is vibrant and the staff is friendly. Sit at the bar or on the patio if you can find a seat.

Martha was the BEST help ever… she kept our glasses full and our stomachs even fuller. Chris jumped in right away to help us move when our friends joined, which we appreciated so much. The food was absolutely immaculate. Couldn’t have had a better experience!

Amazing service and my server even brought a free appetizer since it was my first visit, plus the burrata and super flavorful tomato basil soup were perfect on a cold rainy day. I loved the mixed greens salad without gorgonzola and enjoyed the Viso and a Pinot Noir and a Cabernet Sauvignon, and everything hit the mark with zero complaints.

Ordered the meatballs and goat cheese and selected extra cheese and no extra cheese as well as the meatballs tasted like frozen store bought meatballs. Tried for the second time to give another chance and it’s a big NO!! Maybe it’s different dining in but delivery from this place is horrible. Will not be disappointed again not going to order from POSTINO ever again.

Martha was amazing! Our food and service is always the best..we love this place and keep coming back.

Vibe was awesome, food was great and quick. Chantel was very attentive and personable!

Really enjoyed this casual brunch and lunch spot. The paninis were absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. Chantal was our server and she was amazing with the recommendations and was super friendly. They currently have a daily happy hour until 5pm where you can get $6 glasses of wine or pitchers of beer!

I've been to this location a few times over the years, and there's always a crowd. For a table of 6 on a Thursday night, the wait was 1 to 1.5 hour wait, which was absurd. The downfall is that they don't accept reservations. They could really figure out that since many other restaurants can tackle this, especially with a lot of third-party companies that offer reservation services. We ended up having to sit outside in the 115° heat and with a baby in our group. The service was pretty good, especially as the prickly pear marg wasn't good. They really need to take that off the menu or remove the mezcal. It's really bad. Luckily, our server understood and wanted to ensure we enjoyed the drink and brought a new one with regular house tequila. Otherwise, our server was also really good at handling my dairy allergy and brainstormed options for bruschetta without dairy. It wasn't bad and definitely giving him stars for his attempt, but it wasn't that great. While I understand that altering the menu might give me a less than thrilling experience, I was hoping it would have more than a slice of salami on a bread slice. The brussel Sprouts salad with a $10 salmon add-on wasn't anything to swim home about either... Nothing special. The italian beef dip was okay as well, but the foccacia bread wasn't a good option, as it fell apart easily. Overall, it definitely wasn't worth the hefty expensive $125 bill.

* TIP- jump on their yelp waitlist to get seated quicker!* Dropped by for lunch today - our last full day in Phoenix. Loved Kierland commons and this cute wine bar/ cafe added to the overall vibe of the area. Had a cool half in half outside bar and a gigantic patio with misters. We chose to sit inside since it was a balmy 114' outside. We tried what they are famous for- their bruschetta boards. For 17.50 you get to pick four of the 12 possibilities. We chose salami and pesto, ricotta, data and pistachios, prosciutto and fig , and their special French onion. We also ordered their skewers as an appetizer. The taste profiles were really good and they all had great flavor. Seemed like the topping amounts were minimal and on the skimpy side . Just wish that the board had a better ratio of the goodies to the gluten free bread. The filet and chicken skewers tasted good and had a sauce ( garlic tzatziki that was the bomb!) that I ended up putting on everything! Service was quick, personable and definitely a team effort as we had two servers. Noticed they had a location near us in California so guess we will be visiting there!!

My favorite place for lunch! Service 5/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Our server was friendly and attentive, the bruschetta board was delicious as always! (Apple & brie, prosciutto and mascarpone, burrata, bacon & arugula and the chef choice which had greek-inspired toppings) This was my first time ordering the salmon board and it was really good and filling! You cant beat their lunch special of $6 glass daily til 5pm. We took advantage of their $24 bottle special

I absolutely adore Postino's! Their bruschetta is out of this world with so many delicious flavors to choose from. And don't even get me started on their creamy, salty tomato soup - it's pure comfort in a cup. I can't wait to come back and try more of their amazing dishes!

I'm a self-proclaimed Upward Projects groupie - they just get me, you know? This gem is located in the Kierland Commons outdoor shopping mall, where even our fur baby got a taste of the good life on his second public outing! Calvin, our host with the most, had us seated in a jiffy and our server was top-notch - they even made sure our pup's water bowl stayed full! I went for the bruschetta and tried the Mexican Street Corn flavor - let's just say it wasn't my jam, a bit soggy and salty for my liking. But fear not, our server came to the rescue and let me switch it out. Hubby went for the brunch menu, which filled him up but didn't quite hit the mark as a brunch entree. Despite the "meh" dish, we always dig the vibes, the grub, and the wine/beer specials! Cheers to good times at Upward Projects joints!

We came in for an afternoon bite to eat and drinks while visiting and had a great experience. Our server was very friendly and helpful. They had a nice selection of items for our vegan and vegetarian friends, as well as good NA drink options. I highly recommend the Phony Negroni! We shared the bruschetta boards as well as the crispy cauliflower - so good!! We did 3 boards for 6 of us and had plenty. The sweet & spicy pepper jam and goat cheese bruschetta was my fave but they were all great! The vibe was chill, and we were able to talk comfortably without raising our voices. I'd definitely go back!

My husband and I went out for our first date night since having twin girls. Our server Bailey and the manager Hailey went above and beyond to make our night special. They were so personable and made sure service was top tier. I've only ever had their bruschetta and was pleasantly impressed by their other menu items, especially the Burrata salad. We ordered a second one to take home to our baby sitter! This location is my favorite location so far because of the quaint yet trendy vibes. Major thanks to Bailey and Hailey for making our date night extra memorable!

Always a great experience here!! Chantel was our server this evening (& has helped us before). She was great as usual! Always a cool vibe, great drinks & food & the service is always top notch! Thank you Chantel, we will be back!! Regarding the battle of the bruschetta....we liked the French onion, the berry mascarpone was good but the toppings were a bit scant. I would have liked it better if it had more mascarpone! The meatballs are always a choice we love!

Came here for a work lunch with several team members. They were able to get us in immediately and took care of us fairly well beside the end when we were trying to leave quickly but weren't able to easily cash out. I did the you pick two and got a half sandwich and salad. Both were very good. A lot of my team members got the bruschetta boards and everyone seemed happy. The place wasn't too busy. Maybe a few other tables around the dining room. Nice place for a casual lunch.

Chantal is amazing! She served us tonight- recommended great bruschetta and 5 star service! Ask for her when you go in!

I love this place. I met a friend for drinks and it was our first visit. Our server, Savage was great. She was courteous, polite, friendly, and just a beautiful soul! Savage took great care of us. The food was great as well. The ambiance was kinda sexy. It's a small place with lots of love. I will return.

Each Postino location is great, but there's just something about an evening at Kierland. The pink sunsets, the lit up palm trees, and even the head and tail lights of luxury cars passing add to the ambiance. When at a Postino, wine and bruschetta are a must. So many bruschetta toppings to choose for your board of four. The two that I always pick are brie/fig/apple and the pepper jam/goat cheese. Mmmmm! I love the pick two option of panini/soup/salad. I've never had a bad choice. Also, the $6 kids menu options are a good size. Instagram: @msbusyblonde

Always a good time is had at Postino. This was my first time at this location. I usually go to South Tempe Postinos in Warner or DT Gilbert. My friend chose this location because we wanted to bring our pets. We sat on the patio on a pretty warm Saturday morning. The venue had the misters which helped with the heat. Our server had plenty of cold water for our pups. For brunch we elected to shared a Bruschetta board and the Grilled Cheese. Additionally we took advantage of the discount on bottled of wine. If you wont drink a whole bottle you can get $6 glasses of wine before 5pm. A time was had and it was nice allowing the pups to visit. Me and my friend got to catch up. All the food was great. The Elotes Bruschetta is limited but it was so full of flavor. My favorite of the board was the smoked salmon. I could do this 1x a week. The white wine we enjoyed was the Last August White Wine. It was so light and refreshing.

Martha was really sweet and lovely to us during girl's night happy hour! We love the Postino's atmosphere anytime though!

Bruschetta! I had been raving about my recent experience at Postino in Gilbert. We had some delicious bruschettas and drinks that remained on my mind. Tonight my hubby surprised me and took me to an early meal at Postino's. It was not too crowded at the hour we arrived. We were able to sit inside as it was still a bit warm outside even with the misters. We ordered bruschetta board to share, soup de jour (Chicken Florentine), and a chicken skewer. The order arrived quickly and looked wonderful. the board have two servings of smoked salmon with pesto, prosciutto di Parma, and tomato, basil & mozzarella. All were delicious. The soup was full of chunky chicken and also very good. We didn't even get to the skewer so home it went along with a few of the bruschetta pieces. We were happy and full. Thank you! Outdoor shared, covered and valet parking. WiFi at the restaurant.

Food and ambience was great as always. Our server Martha was very attentive and so sweet!

This location of Postino's has always consistently been amazing. First off--the parking may be packed but there are always so many spaces that even though you may have to walk a few minutes, you still got a parking spot, which can be hard to come by in other locations. I also never have to wait too long for a seat, even if I'm given a thirty to forty minute time wait. (It's worth it even if we had to wait that long). Come on Sunday nights and they can get you in quick. The ambiance is relaxing and dog-friendly. I love sitting outside on the patio in the winter months by the fireplace. I've only ever gotten the flatbread, and this isn't subject to change any time soon. My favorite has to be the Sweet N' Spicy Pepper Jam & Goat Cheese (try it, it's to DIE FOR). My only small complaint that doesn't affect the scoring is we need more dairy free bruschetta board options please! Sincerely, us with dairy allergies, EOE, and lactose intolerance. I love the wine--particularly the SAHALE RIESLING 2022. I had two glasses and it will remain my new favorite. Overall, will always go to this location if I can!

Always such a great place to visit. Had the smoke salmon raw and cook. And the tuna panini sandwich. Service is always great. Such a great variety of alcohol, wines, beer, and mixed drinks

Grabbed some wine and bruschetta with friends here the other day. I really enjoyed the goat cheese and pepper jam bruschetta and the mushroom and mascarpone bruschetta. I think this is a great place to enjoy wine and an app on the patio. Service was great, we had multiple people checking in on us and refilling our water. I'll definitely be back!

I took myself on a solo date to this location. I've been to postino many times just an FYI. The service at this location is always fast and the servers are attentive. Bottle and board is the best deal of course but I go just for regular dinner. The gluten free bruschetta is pretty good! The gf bread is smaller than the normal bread (that happens everywhere though even though I pay more money) and slightly dry but I love all the toppings, my all time favorite being the warm artichoke spread but the mushroom mascarpone is a top contender. The sandwich bread is better than the bruschetta bread - love the veggie one! And the raspberry chicken is so fresh and filling.

We decided to enjoy Postino today for lunch. It was quite busy since it was a holiday, but the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We waited around 10 minutes for a table and were seated upstairs. Our server (I'm so sorry I can't remember her name) was fantastic and made excellent wine recommendations. Our food came out quickly and was delicious, as usual. We found ourselves asking why we don't visit here more often. Will definitely be back soon!

I love when you can go back to a place after it's been a while and it's still Fabulous!! Always great service, fresh ingredients and love the menu! Love the delicious goodies and I always leave thinking...I need to go there more!!

Dinner for 3 at postinos- we had an OK experience. We all ordered paninis. Unfortunately they were out of focaccia so we it came with cibbata which was underwhelming. Doughy and extra caloric. I ordered the prosciutto and Brie which I thought was OK. My friend ordered a blackberry lemonade which he thought tasteless. Enjoyed the outdoor patio and ambience more than the food.

I used to visit the Tempe location often but in the past few years sometimes the food has been not as great ... the bread a little crunchy and almost stale. But I always love postinos so decided to come here Tuesday evening for board & bottle night and was very very impressed!! They even added new things to the menu pretty busy but were able to sit outside right away next to the heater and even though it was cold outside it was perfect! Started with the chicken and steak skewers - awesome!! Tried the Mexican street corn bruschetta and it was good too, also had an Italian beef dip sandwich and 10/10! Melts right in your mouth! Very excited to visit again to try out the prosciutto and Brie sandwich!

So we really like Postinos and maybe eat here once a month. This evening when we just went, we were greeted with really rude service. When our waitress brought us lukewarm water and we asked for ice she rolled her eyes. She was overall really rude, cleaned up our waters without asking, mad if we asked for anything, and was rushing us out to leave when it was 9:30pm. Food is great, but would appreciate more friendly service.

Wonderful service from Chantal. We loved this place. Everyone is super friendly and helpful!!!

Postinos is so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love Martha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Salami pesto bruschetta!!!

Shantel was simply amazing & gave us great reccs for our first time here & we simply loved it!! Will definitely come back when we're back in town!!

First time having Postinos! Absolutely beautiful dining area. The food is so delicious and fresh. Service was amazing I always had a full glass of water and anything I needed. Only thing I would change is one of the servers asking my boyfriend and I if we were on a sibling date because we were on our phones and didn't look happy. We are both adults and were chatting while sending our vacation photos to our family's. It made it very uncomfortable. Everything else was amazing though! Hope this helps!

Food was phenomenal and place was packed and service was amazing. Chantel did a great job!

The atmosphere was nice but the food needed an overhaul. I Ordered the Salmon and bruschetta and the bread was extremely tough and dried out, and they really need to put more salmon on it. You get one or two little pieces of salmon on top of the bread. The pesto on it was delicious though. Don't think I'd order again.

To start, we arrived around 8pm & were quoted a 30-40 min wait but were called back after only 10 minutes which was a blessing on a Friday night (especially when 2 people in our party had been traveling all day). The food was divine - I chose the bruschetta for my entrée. My 4 choices were: Brie, Apple & Fig spread Prosciutto di Parma, Fig, and Mascarpone Warm Artichoke Spread Ricotta, Dates, & Pistachios For some reason, I was envisioning more of a spinach artichoke spread so while it was good, it wasn't what I had in my mind. The Brie, Apple, & Fig spread was my favorite but the rest were also delicious. My only complaint about the one with pistachios was that I bit into a pistachios that was hard as a rock. It was inedible and almost broke a tooth. Besides that, it was a wonderful combination of flavors. Luckily, that piece was one of my last. Everything was fresh and had a lovely presentation. My companions enjoyed the cauliflower soup but another was expecting more Brussel Sprouts in her Brussel Sprouts salad. The servers were lovely and didn't keep us waiting. The atmosphere was enjoyable and the decorations cute. It's definitely some place I need to come back to next time I'm in town.

My favorite place to eat when I visit AZ!! Chantelle was the absolute best and took great care of us! Will definitely be back because of staff like Chantelle!

It's me again! One of my favorite restaurants. They accommodated my mom and my toddler so well! Thank you for the kindness towards our group! A waiter threw in some extra crackers and strawberries for my toddler while we waited on our food (sooo kind!)

I ordered takeout this Friday. Unfortunately, the grilled cheese sandwich was completely undercooked - the bread was raw and the cheese wasn't melted. I'm very disappointed because there was no customer service or support provided. As a result, I will not be dining here again.

Chantel gave us amazing service today! Place was super busy and she never missed a beat. Will be back! Food was great too.

Postinos bruschetta boards are such a staple and have just gotten even better with the new addition of the elote bruschetta. After a long day at the WM open, postinos was the perfect way to relax before heading home. The service was as quick as ever, even with a large party upstairs. Although the Postino's here at Kierland Commons seems a bit smaller than the other locations, I have always been quickly seated at this location which is a HUGE plus.

I literally cannot even explain how amazing chantel was as a server. i've been to postinos all over the valley and had a good time but this was by far the best experience ive had and it was predominately because of how great of service we received from chantel. She went above and beyond to check on us and give us amazing recommendations to try new items!

Postinos is amazing! Our meal was fantastic! Ambiance is great! Definitely can't complain about the drink prices! Martha's service was great!

The food is yummy, but sometimes the service is a bit slow. Still, the atmosphere is so cozy that we don't really mind the wait. The garden chop salad was a bit bland, but I'm totally hooked on the Artichoke bruschetta--it's my absolute fave!

Such a fun vibe, food and wine was delicious! $6 glasses for happy hour. Chantelle was our server, she was awesome. She helped us get exactly what we were looking for and was on top of the service. highly recommend!

Love it They have the best service and food! Oh don't forget them wine Love seating at the Bar

This Postinos location has become my husband's and my designated "celebration spot" - we came here when we started dating, got engaged, as newlyweds, and now, to celebrate our pregnancy! The service has always been exceptional, but if you can have Noah or Krystiana, your experience will be 10000% celebration worthy and memorable! They're the best, we left feeling even more excited than we did walking in. Go get yourself a bruschetta board

Martha was wonderful and food was delicious. She made sure my dairy allergy was acknowledged and made us feel welcomed.

Food was great! Martha was awesome, and very knowledgeable!! Can't wait to come back.

Came here for early brunch and found out they have HH and if you join their E-Club you get a board of bruschetta for free which you would have to use within a month. In order in photo I got the smoked salmon & pesto, ricotta dates & pistachio, brie, apple & fig, and the warm artichoke spread which were all so amazing. I also ordered the P.R.E.A.M bowl which was also good but the chicken skewer was way too salty. I had a bite of it and couldn't get pass the saltiness.

Emily took great care of me the entire time. she's very attentive and knew exactly when I needed a refill on wine lol. her personality definitely made my day! The ambiance here never disappoints.
