"Similarly, Postino Wine Cafe announced that it would close its Montrose and Heights locations in Houston today in honor of Floyd, along with 13 other restaurants across three states.

Postino Brings a Bevy of Wine and Beer to a Historic Montrose Space - Eater Houston

"Shortly after opening its first area location in the Heights this past spring, Postino WineCafé, will launch a second wine-all-day outpost in Montrose early next year. The forthcoming arrival will debut at 805 Pacific Street in the spot formerly occupied by Montrose Mining Company, formerly known as Houston’s longest-running gay bar. Before that, the space housed bars and clubs like The Tattooed Lady, Pacific Street Station, and Uncle Charlie’s. “Walking into the old Montrose Mining Company - such a storied space that’s been a neighborhood gathering space since the 1970’s – gave us goosebumps,” co-founder Lauren Bailey said in a statement. “Something just felt right, and we’re thrilled to honor its historic legacy, the neighborhood, and the people who have come before us.” Postino’s model is built around repurposing old historic spaces. It’s first location in Arizona debuted 18 years ago inside a revamped 1940s post office, which is how Postino (Italian for “postman”) got its name. The 3,500-square-foot Montrose location will feature “eclectic decor” according to a press release, reflecting its artsy neighborhood. “Montrose checks every box that gets us excited: civic pride, a robust arts scene, diversity, authenticity, and an incredible history that speaks to our values,” Bailey said. Postino will also feature the same food menu found in other locations including multiple bruschetta offerings topped with sweet and spicy pepper jam and goat cheese; prosciutto with figs and mascarpone; and ricotta with dates and pistachios; plus shareable charcuterie and cheese boards; and paninis, salad, and soup combinations. Advanced Sommelier Brent Karlicek has curated Postino’s menu of more than 30 wines and beer, which includes glasses of wine and pitchers of local brews priced at $5 from open to 5:00 p.m. making this one of Houston’s premiere day drinking destinations. Postino is set to debut in Montrose in 2019. Stay tuned for an official opening date." - Alaena Hostetter

We had the opportunity for a very rare date night recently. When making the reservation, I put a note stating that, and if there was anything they could do to make it a little more special, we would appreciate it, but understood if they couldn’t. When we arrived, we were seated at a table tucked away from the rest of the crowd. After being greeted, the manager (I believe?!) brought us two glasses of champagne and a card signed by the entire staff! It made our night (and made me look great because my wife had no idea!)! The service was excellent, the food was DELICIOUS (I never realized a chicken panini could be so AMAZING), and the atmosphere was perfect! Thank you for an unforgettable date night, we will definitely be back!

I’ve found that lately, Postino’s has been a recent favorite of mine. So while I was out yesterday I decided to visit a different location (because it was closer) for a lite bit. I literally order the exact dishes ever. The chicken and chili was absolutely delicious, however, the SWEET N' SPICY PEPPER JAM & GOAT CHEESE from the bruschetta board option didn’t taste as amazing as it normally does. The bread seemed a bit stale unfortunately. Apart from that, the customer service was top tier and I truly enjoyed the Blackberry drink!

Everything from the food from our original server was great The only thing I didn't like was one other people that did give us our food I can't remember who she was she just seemed a bit snooty and she kind of gave me the feeling that she looked down on us and I didn't appreciate that other than that amazing experience I'm not sure if it was because of us or whatever the case is but I would go again I just didn't care for that part of it.

So I took my cousin, who came into town from Austin here before worship night in 3rd Ward at Nations House of Prayer. We were there for a while, and our server was amazing! We got a quaint little corner spot that was super comfortable, and despite it being really busy due to happy hour - we were immediately seated and so well cared for the entire time. It was very cozy and the perfect place to hang out and catch up on everything. We enjoyed an appetizer of their meatballs with goat cheese and they were soooooooo yummy! The perfect amount for 2 people to share. Then we had the a small plate each - she had the gulf shrimp which she said was incredibly good & I had the grilled cheese with tomato soup. It was all so good and very reasonably priced. Neither of us drink but they had great wine and drink deals for Happy Hour and they have tons of indoor and outdoor seating. It was threatening to storm so despite how much we wanted to kick it in the outdoor area (it’s super chill & really fun) we chose to play it safe indoors. DEFINITELY a GREAT place for a date, a night out with friends or really for an anytime anything. I will say they only have small plates, but that’s super fun because the prices are so good you can try several of the items and, if the 3 we tried are any indication; they’re all worth getting to munch down on!

Had a lovely brunch here with some friends. I ended up ordering the bruschetta board and it was delicious!! They also had a really good prickly pear drink and customized it for us with black salt and tajin on the rim. This is the perfect place to come and have some upscale bites and drinks with your girls. The staff was so helpful and very welcoming. Our waitress was very patient; she went over the menu together with me to find something I could eat since I have some dietary restrictions and the end result was delicious!! Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Great service! Loved everything I ordered. The Raspberry Chicken Salad was amazing, although I didn't expect it to be chicken salad adjacent to salad it was pretty delicious. The cucumber lemonade was perfect in this humid Houston weather. The staff was very welcoming, and attentive.

First time at this location. The bruschetta board was delicious and innovative. Love being able to choose 4. Service was a great team effort and friendly. Our entire meal was unique and tasty. We definitely over ordered but had leftovers for later. My only complaint were the flies. The side patio was open and I imagine its the heat driving them indoors. There were many and they harassed us during our meal.

Fabulous spot for brunch, dinner, or anything in-between. This time we sat outside in the evening and it wasn’t too hot. Our server Alyssa was wonderful, she actually was super engaging and helped us customize our order with the chef, so thanks for that - I appreciate it!! I will say it’s a little dark inside….

Awesome staff, great variety of beverages and food, and a cozy atmosphere. They have wonderful specials including a daily happy hour and the "board and bottle" deal on Monday and Tuesday nights, which is a bottle of wine and a brushetta board for $25. Check it out!

I first tried Postino in Phoenix and loved it. They're known for their stunning charcuterie boards, creative salads, and delicious sandwiches full of high-quality ingredients. When we arrived late in Houston, I went to order food online and immediately saw their great reviews. I was in the mood for something super filling but healthy, and Postino fit the bill. I got a fresh salad, meatballs, and a sandwich for my husband. They arrived quickly and were amazing. I've never seen so many salads and sandwiches that I wanted to order. It was hard to choose, so definitely go check out their menus!

The deal after 8 pm on Monday and Tuesdays is outrageously good! I had such good time! ~$25 for wine and bruschetta is a steal. You had many options to choose for the flavors of bruschetta. The red wine was also very tasty. Service was fast. Perfect place for a date night- candle lit theme. ~50 people worth of seating combining indoor and outdoor.

*3.5 stars if possible* Postino is a restaurant/wine bar "chain" with locations in select states. I LOVE the concept here: wine, beer, and plenty of small plates! We arrived during happy hour, so we were able to snag $6 glasses of wine and a $6 pitcher of beer-what a steal! The Riesling that was recommended to us by our waiter was delicious. To eat, we tried a variety of items. We of course had to do 2 bruschetta boards and tried just about every flavor on the menu. I have to say, while I loved the concept, none of the bruschettas "wowed" me. We had the Table Cheese board, which was a hit-they have an amazing Brie and blue cheese here. The Sweet Potato Wedges were decent, and the Crispy Cauliflower we ultimately sent back because it was very bland-we swapped it for the Mushroom Fondue, which was delicious. Overall a great place for a "girl dinner" as the kids call it, but definitely would have loved a bit more flavor in some of the items!

Whenever my friends and I want to catch up, relax and eat some good food-Postino is at the top of our list. The atmosphere is chill and feels upbeat, with a good crowd, but not feeling cramped. The staff is also very accommodating, trying their best to find preferred seating and also explaining all the menu options and their personal recommendations when asked. We love the Board + Bottle and the options are always high quality and of a good variety. An old favorite was the perfect Riesling, which I was sad was not an option last time. All of the Bruschetta options were great, but the Sweet N' Spicy Pepper Jam & Goat Cheese was out of this world! The goat cheese and jam really complemented each other to create a sharp, but pleasing flavor profile. Some other standout pieces were the Brie, Apple & Fig Spread and the Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone (who doesn't love a good Prosciutto!). I also like how they have trial flavors (like the elote one) in order to see what patrons think. Really can't go wrong with any of the charcuterie boards either, if you're more in the mood for individual items. Can't wait to go back and try more!

Such a nice ambiance, the vibe is very mellow and low key. I enjoyed the service the staff provided by letting us know they all help each other so we don't just have to depend on one server! The skewers were a great start! We enjoyed the nine iron and the west coaster. The prickly pear lemonade and apricot Arnold were perfect nonalcoholic drinks that definitely gave cocktail vibes. Everything was delicious and filling and we cannot wait to come back!

Postino Montrose was on my bookmark for a long while ever since Montrose Mining Company closed. I always wanted to stop by and enjoy the food because I read so great reviews. But it's always past the closing time. I went there last night. Simply because I was really hungry after an event at Houston Eagles. I remember it was shortly after 9. Because I was going to get in the VIP line at South Beach. But I thought maybe I can grab a quick dinner. Then, head there before 10. Since the menu is simple, I thought my order would be quick. Guess what? It was a long wait for Crispy Cauliflower. I already wrote a Yelp review and posted photos at a different restaurant by the time the appetizer came. I was very disappointed with the "crispy" part. The only crispy thing was the rehydrated raisins. The waitress came to take the order shortly before I finished the appetizer. I ordered Italian Beef Panini Dip with salad. The food was fresh. The dip was too salty. The roast beef was bland, maybe because I asked for no cheese. Oh by the way, I don't see any vegan dishes. Everything has cheese. Vegetarian maybe. I had to ask for no cheese because I'm lactose intolerant. Sadly, the kitchen failed to replace the saltiness of cheese with something. Another problem, waitress didn't come by to check on my water level or how I was doing. I saw another waitress stepping on a chair to reach for wine bottle behind me. She did say "excuse me". But don't you have stepladder? That's a safety hazard for your employees. While I was not getting any attention, I wrote my second review and posted some photos and videos at a different restaurant. I was about to finish my third review; waitress finally came to check on me. It got me thinking. Was I not fit for the crowd? Was it because I'm Asian? What a miserable dining experience. While looking at the check-in offer on lunch, I'm contemplating whether I should come back. I need some explanation first.

Lovely restaurant a few blocks into Montrose residential area north of Westheimer. Parking is limited adjacent to the restaurant but you can park in the neighborhood a few minutes walk away. I knew the food from the Town&Country location and I loved it. This place not only has the delicious food but also the wonderful relaxed Montrose vibe. The staff is very nice and attentive. Upon arrival we were able to switch to a table on the patio. We shared the meatballs &goat cheese, the grilled cheese, the bruschetta board and the cauliflower. It was all very delicious! Our favorite bruschetta: salmon, Brie and apple, ricotta and dates. It was quite a lot of food for the three of us. We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the sunset. What a wonderful evening at Postino. Will be back!

Cute brunch spot! Enjoyed sharing a bruschetta platter - option to choose 4 different types. Highly recommend the prosciutto fig and mascarpone and salami and pesto! I liked that there were so many to choose from, they arrive pre sliced for easy sharing too. I also got the nine iron panini on focaccia, I liked the focaccia and bacon but the chicken was a bit dry. It comes with an option for salad, chips or soup. Service was good, they came to refill waters very often. Overall a good place for a group of ideally 4 to share some plates and enjoy a meal, prices are on the higher side but to be expected for this type of food.

Food: Had the 4 bruschetta and a bottle for $25 deal and it really hit the spot! The apple and Brie and richness to it with a crisp green apple to balance it out. The spicy jam with goat cheese was really nice as well. The prosciutto with the Italian cheese is good as well but less well rounded as it is more on the bland side. The salmon one I hear is good it just wasn't great because I'm allergic to nuts so asked them to remove the pesto Ambiance is amazing and very hip and every location has different quirky cool decor.

So I've only been here once for the board and bottle special! This is a place for a nice date, a great place to catchup with a friend, just a spot to take someone you at least care about lol. Ambiance is nice, not too loud, and intimate. Took my ol lady here for the board and bottle special...and let's just say we're regulars for those days. The deal is so hard to beat. Wine is subjective but I very much enjoyed their selection of cabs. As for the board, it has a nice variety, and thoroughly enjoyed the ones we got. Based on my experience thus far, I plan to return and try the rest of their menus (lunch, dinner, etc.). Definitely recommend checking them out, I don't think you'll regret

Loved this gem! Every bite we ate was absolutely amazing. From the build your own bruschetta bread appetizer, to the dessert. Fun fact: they use the bread from local bakery sensation "Bread Man Co" which started in a small kitchen in Houston and has now started servicing restaurants all over the country. We had the roasted cauliflower, omg grilled cheese, charcuterie, sandwiches, and dessert. We were surprised at the affordable wine options, and the wine we chose was great. The vibe was very chill and chic. There is tram service so you can ask for help from anyone. I'll be back!

Always happy after visiting Postino!! I'm a big fan of their bruschetta boards and have probably tried each one. We went on an early Saturday morning and sat outside on the patio. They have heaters outside which added so many bonus points! The service was great as well! We order the Brie, apple and fig, prosciutto fig and mascarpone, burrata bacon and arugula and tomato, and smoked salmon and pesto. I loved how easy they are to eat and it is quite filling for two people. The salmon and pesto was my favorite with the smokiness that paired well with the pesto. We also ordered a sandwich and soup that was packed with a strong tomato and citrus base. Definitely a great place during the day or night with amazing ambience and food!

Finally had a chance to try Postino after several attempts. Always jam packed and I understand why...great atmosphere for munchies foods accompanied by quenching bevies. This time around, seems reservations were ok, but prior tries, was told they didn't take reservations which makes it hard to take a team of folks out. Anywho, the crispy cauliflower and tomato's a mozzarella were outstanding. The latter is not your regular caprese. We also got three orders of the bruschetta board and samples a variety of toppings. They were all delish, but my personal faves were the fig & apple, burrata bacon arugula, and the pepper jam goat cheese. All very well balanced on savory and sweet, and a perfect accompaniment to the three pitchers of heff (don't judge) we had. Will definitely look forward to another outing on their nicely appointed patio dining area.

Has a very cool ambiance. If you're able to sit outside on a nice day, it will greatly enhance your experience. Food to me is good but not amazing. I always leave feeling too full because I've eaten so much bread. Everyone loves the bruschetta. It's great, lots of pretty toppings but again, lots of bread. The smoked salmon appetizer is very delicious. I love the various salmon and spreads. I would recommend the salmon over a bruschetta board because it has more protein and is more flavorful. The cauliflower is also delicious but kind of soft and not as flavorful as Sixty Vines whole baked cauliflower. Sandwiches and salads are small and pretty good. I don't drink but I've had their mocktails and find them too sweet. Overall, a very cool place to catch up with friends. Come for ambiance and light bites.

I've dined at Postino on multiple occasions whether I'd be with a large group or just a party of two, but I especially love the exceptional service at this location. The staffs are just wonderful and highly attentive at all time. Bruschetta boards, skewers, cauliflower with romesco sauce, raspberry chicken salad are definitely my top choices. The afternoons are warm and delightful with patio seating. The lights are dimmed and romantic vibes sets in when night fall. If you want a cute date night with good food. Postino is your place.

Food was pretty good, I wasn't feeling well and kept it simple with a Ceaser salad. Had a tang that was just right. My partner had gotten the meatballs (I just had to try) and the sauce is yummmmy. The chicken kabobs had an awful texture though could not eat. Atmosphere was good, lighting might need some help it's really dark. Service was quick and great.

I have visited Postino Montrose four times already. I keep coming back because I just like the vibe of the area, though at times it is really hard to find parking unless you go early and secure a spot in their private lot. Street parking is also an option. Always have tried their bruschetta boards but my recent meet up with my friend was more of a meal night. We met up around 6pm on a Wednesday night and I was able to secure parking right away while she had to circle and circle. While waiting for her, I secured our seats and was glad to get a cute booth, which I've had before. When we both got settled, we both ordered 1/2 panini and 1/2 salad. I also ordered two glasses of Malbec. The panini I ordered was the Prosciutto and Brie and the salad was the Brussel Sprouts Salad. My order tasted so good and I think the next time I come back I'll have to order the same again! Since this is a wine bar, their Malbec definitely hit my wine craving that night! Love this place and service was great and they were all so attentive!

My friend and I wanted to catch the sun while it was out on a January afternoon so we stopped by Postino. I've only been to the River Oaks location for a Yelp event so checking out the Montrose site was a treat. There was plenty of street parking when we got there and lots of seating on the outdoor patio. Our waitress was helpful and guided me through the menu, albeit it limited due to my eating restrictions. I landed on the cauliflower (didn't think it would be that big but it was oddly cute, lacked flavor though) and a salad. I loved my salad but my friend didn't fancy his flatbread. This was a spontaneous lunch during the weekday and I enjoyed it. The ambiance was very relaxed and a few other patrons were even working on their laptops. I look forward to going back.

While I'm not a lover of wine, this establishment provides well rounded service, food, and drinks. My mother, sister, and I were looking for some late night bites and found this place. We were familiar due to their catering at events we had been to, but never been to their brick and mortar. To eat, we had a bruschetta board: fresh mozzarella tomato and basil, warm artichoke spread, salami and pesto, and burrata bacon arugula and tomato; skewers, soup of the moment: poblano corn chowder. The bruschetta was perfect, the burrata bacon was the favorite at the table and the diced tomatoes were well balanced with seasoning and light vinaigrette. The warm artichoke spread was very filling but light leaving you wanting more. The salami and pesto was simple but balanced flavors well and the fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil was more like your classic bruschetta, I just wish the tomatoes were diced like the other variety we had. The skewers were perfectly cooked, tender, and the garlic yogurt dressing provided a nice compliment. The soup, was a bit thinner consistency for a chowder but did not lack in flavor at all. The right amount of heat and spice made for a nice pairing with any thing. I didn't drink the wine my mom and sister had, however they were recommended to try, hit the spot. I don't remember what it was but it was a white wine that was light and dry. Paired well with just about everything. I had the blackberry smash with green tea, lemonade, and blackberries and that was one of the best combos/take on an Arnold Palmer I've had. Great place, great atmosphere. Would 12/10 return.

Went to this place on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Loved that they had indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor had the option of the cooling fans which was nice, but we sat indoors. It's very modern and chill inside. I enjoyed the relaxing vibe of the music and overall atmosphere. The service was great and our sever was really helpful. Wine-Moscato: 9/10 We ordered wine during happy hour and it was pretty good. I'm a moscato drinker and I really enjoyed the flavor of the wine. Sweet potato wedges: 7/10 I really enjoyed the chipotle sauce that came with these. I wasn't a fan of the black sesame seeds but I enjoyed the wedges overall. Chicken and mozzarella panini: 8.5/10 Somehow my picture of this was lost but this sandwich was delicious. I ordered it on focaccia bread which was soft...almost fluffy like. I enjoyed the mayo and how it paired with the chicken. I didn't enjoy the small onions and wished they were thin slices. I ordered the side Caesar salad but it had feta which I don't really care for but I did like the dressing.

I like this place! Mondays are the best day to go because you get board and bottle for $25 which is a steal since all there wines are $40 or more! Really wanted to see what the leek soup was about and the sweet waitress came out with a sample super nice of her and it was absolutely delicious so i got a cup! The only thing that sucks is parking and the place at the end of the bar has a horrible breeze from the AC that makes it unbearable to sit at. But definitely love the gluten free options and on mondays !

I believe this is the original location. They have since popped up new ones all around town. Parking is pretty bad over here so if you don't get in their front or back lot, you're stuck street parking which can be sketchy. Honestly it's better to Uber/Lyft here if possible. Especially since you're probably going to knock back a few drinks. They have a nice covered patio area with air misters but also indoor cool seating. Sit in booths, regular chairs or even the bar. Tons of options. Don't hesitate to ask to be seated anywhere specific. This place is all about the bruschetta. So many different options. You can mix and match 4 per board. Have you and your other people get different flavors so you can mix and match. They cut each one into 4 shareable pieces. Make sure to sign up for their free membership, that'll get you a free bruschetta board on your next visit!

I'm channeling my inner fellow Elite and bestie Tiffany J and trying to hit up all the Postinos in the greater Houston area. This time around, a friend asked for assistance setting up a surprise birthday dinner for his girlfriend along with a bunch of our friends group. I did my my research through my trusty Yelp app and found Postino Montrose had a nice patio and was willing to accommodate our large group. Parking is a little tricky in the area as there are a few popular bars and clubs right across the street. There is a parking lot along with street parking. We all ended up getting pretty decent parking since we arrived before the night owls came out. We arrived early before the birthday gal and they had no problem seating us on the patio as we arrived. The table was set with candles and they had a heaters set up on the patio to keep us warm. Kendell was our lone server and he did an outstanding job from start to finish and he did it with such ease. Postino doesn't have a huge menu, but they are known for their wine and their bruschetta boards. I have yet to stray from those two things here because they do it damn well. I was in a Riesling mood and went with the Perfekt which is a German wine. It is just the right amount of subtle tartness along with just enough sweetness to make it nice and refreshing and an easy sip. I paired it with a bruschetta board with four of my favorite choices. I got the Brie, Apple & Fig Spread, Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone, Smoked Salmon & Pesto, and Salami & Pesto. I love them all, but my absolute favorite is the prosciutto one. The mascarpone adds this light, buttery taste to it that makes for such a perfect bite. I like to end the board with the brie and apple one which is kind of desserty, dare I say a grown up version of a PB&J sandwich. We also shared the delicious sweet potato wedges which was a big hit among the table. It was almost everyone's first time eating at a Postino and everyone loved it. I love putting people on great spots like this. I already knew I was going to like the food here, but this location exceeded my expectations as an overall experience. I still want to try all the locations for research purposes, but being the closest one to me, this will be home base for sure. I will be back!

Similar to other locations, this place never disappoints. There is a parking lot (albeit small...you might have to look for street parking nearby) and lovely spacious patio. I am a huge fan of their bruschetta board and love trying seasonal options. Service is always friendly. They have a broad selection of wines. Always a good time here!

We visited Postino last night with some friends of ours for a couples dinner at the Montrose location. Upon parking across the street ($10 cash only), I recognized how cute of a restaurant Postino is with lots of outdoor seating on a covered patio and additional outdoor seating on stools along the side of the building, which have windows that open up to the bar (see picture). Inside, Postino has an elevated but laid back vibe and in the evening was dimly lit. We started with a bottle of red (Francis) and our friends a couple glasses of white (Holly's Bay) and then moved on to the "snacky things" including meatballs & goat cheese, beef & chicken skewers, smoked salmon, and omg grilled cheese and tomato soup. All of these were friendly shareables for our table of four. I enjoyed the meatballs most out of these items - they were tender and the pomodoro sauce they were served in was solid and topped with crumbled chèvre. The skewers, served over a yogurt sauce, were just okay. To me they seemed to lack some seasoning. I didn't try the smoked salmon because I wasn't in the mood, but the hummus it came with was decent. I thought the grilled cheese were fine, but didn't love the tomato soup's flavor. Of all the starters, the only one I would reorder if I were to return are the meatballs. We ended with one of the bruschetta boards. I have to say that I REALLY like the idea of the boards! You get to pick four "flavors" and the board comes with each piece cut into four, so it was super easy for our little foursome to try each one of the flavors. For our board, we got: 1) tomato, mozzarella, basil, 2) spicy pepper jam & goat cheese, 3) burrata, tomato & bacon, and 4) prosciutto, fig, and mascarpone. Of those, my favorite was the burrata, tomato & bacon followed by the spicy pepper jam & goat cheese. The tomato/mozzarella/basil was pretty basic and the prosciutto/fig/mascarpone either didn't have sufficient toppings or didn't space them well (as you can see in the picture only the center two pieces really have any prosciutto). Overall, for me the food alone was probably 3 stars, but given the restaurant's environment and good service I am going with 4. Personally, I am not sure I'll return, but I am glad we gave it a try!

Came here on a Monday night and grabbed the 25$ bottle of wine and bruschetta board (4 in total). Also ended up ordering the skewers and was wowed by everything from presentation to service to ambiance. Super nice place and would be back again! Also side note dog friendly and my lil dachshund was chilling on the patio with us :)

We chose to sit outside on the lovely patio. Even though it was sweltering out, the fans and cover on the patio made it feel much cooler. It looked like a great ambiance inside too. I got the bruschetta board, which was phenomenal! And it was my first time to try orange wine, which I loved! I can't wait to go back!

I frequently visit Houston for work and always tell myself to try something new, but always find myself here. The atmosphere at this location is perfect for solo travelers, I am always able to snag a seat at the bar and the service is great. Last time, the windows were open and the vibe was impeccable! Try the prosciutto panini

Postinos is great as always. Service is always top notch. Only thing I noticed is they took away the VEGETARIAN panini. In its place was this crunchy vegetarian panini. The ingredients were not it. Luckily the server had the kitchen make it the way that it was. For someone who is vegan I always had that with the mixed greens salad. I hope they bring it back. I'd hate to stop coming here after so many years because they changed the menu.

Tried Postino during eatdrinkhtx week and had a pretty good experience. Honestly there was really nothing to complain about. The interior was super nice, not too loud, and slightly dark. I was serviced as soon as I walked in. I ordered the skewers, chicken mozzarella sandwich with a side salad, and the hot donuts. Everything was fairly tasty! My favorite things were the skewers and the donuts. The donuts were fresh and warm and had an array of dips to accompany them. I enjoyed them a lot. If I had to make one suggestion, I would have the waiter tend to the table a tad bit more. I was seated alone but at times it seemed like it was really hard to get his attention. Other than that five stars all around.

Love postino! They have a few locations but the montrose one is really convenient for us. Note if it's packed parking can be a bit tough but they do have some spots out front and some lots out back. They have some nice drink options and food options, but we love the appetizers. It's been a little bit since we got there but we love their bottle and charcuterie deals! Can't wait to go back soon with friends and have some skewers, boards, and paninis! Also have always had great service here, they are very kind and knowledgeable!

I kept hearing good things so a few of my girls and I went for a Friday night dinner. I was really hungry and worried I wasn't going to get enough to eat. I was so wrong. I was so perfectly full and loved the idea of being able to share with the table tapas style. Everything I tasted was delicious, full of flavor, from sweet to savoy, it was all so satisfying. I couldn't pick a favorite from the bruschetta if I had to. My friend got a chicken and Mozz panini and it was also superb. Our waiter, Patrick, was kind and helpful. They do team service so several people attended to us over the course of the evening and it was flawless. They were able to split the check which was nice considering the sharing we did. The decor of the restaurant is swanky yet still very comfortable. It was the perfect place to catch up and share laughs. I cannot wait to go back!

Had such a great experience at Postino's Montrose location! The ambiance of the restaurant is so nice--dimly lit, cozy, romantic--and the outdoor seating is great when the weather is nice. The service was also super quick and friendly. I told them I (somewhat) recently got my wisdom teeth removed and can't have things that are too crispy, and they offered to only toast the bread lightly and recommended the softest bread option for the panini. They were very thoughtful. The food was also really great. The Chicken & Mozzarella panini was light and refreshing but still very filling, and the side salad was simple but so yummy. The bruschetta board was also amazing; all the options sounded so good that it was difficult to only choose four. My favorite ended up being the Pepper Jam & Goat Cheese one. The price for the meal was also very reasonable considering the quality and quantity of food you receive. Overall, highly recommend!

My second time at Postino and the service like always was great. Love coming here because of the cozy ambiance. A great place to come if you want to grab a bite to eat, have a glass of wine, by yourself or with other people. We ordered a bruschetta board, which it allows you to choose four options. We chose the Fresh Mozzarella with Tomato & Basil, Smoked Salmon & Pesto, Sweet & Spicy Pepper Jam & Goat Cheese and the Salami & Pesto. The Crispy Cauliflower was very good. It was pan roasted and set on top of romesco sauce, sultana raisins and capers. The Meat balls and Goat Cheese was delicious as well and enough to share between two people especially if ordered with other items to share. For wine we ordered the 2020 Costa red blend from California which is a nice semi sweet wine.

You really can't go wrong here. I keep coming back for the bruschetta boards with delicious flavor combinations (more of a loaded toast than traditional thin crispy bruschetta). They have an abundance of wines and I appreciated they actually had 3 good non alcoholic wines (I enjoyed the NA sparkling rosé). They accommodate large groups and allergies well. Sitting outside is a more relaxed vibe when the weather is nice. Inside is a little quieter and dimmer as the night goes on.

Postino's is one of my go to restaurants for lunch or dinner (brunch is great too). I tried out the Montrose location for the first time and really enjoyed the ambiance with the open air concept. Major downside is parking. We went on a Sunday night and it was $10 to park due to the surrounding clubs and bars. We were able to find street parking for free a couple blocks away. The service at this location was great, everyone was friendly and very attentive. I always get a bruschetta board here, it's such a great deal and the options are all so delicious. This time I got the warm artichoke spread, fig and prosciutto, goat cheese and pepper jam, and the fig, apple and brie. I tried the crispy cauliflower for the first time and really loved the sauce surrounding it. Also really enjoyed the Hannah's kale salad. I've yet to have a dish that disappoints here.

I came here for both an elite event and for a personal dinner. Wanted to see if there was a difference. There wasn't. The service was really good, the place was lively and upbeat. Great for people watching and the bruschetta boards were delicious.

Come on a Monday or Tuesday night for bottle and board for $20. It's a great post dinner snack and drinks with friends idea. They have a wide variety of options for the board, so everyone can be happy. I love the spicy goat cheese and apple one. Very mod cool vibes with nice patio.

I've been to the location in the Heights and loved it. I enjoyed my visit here as well. They have a great menu with creative offerings that are delicious and decadent without being particularly unhealthy (i.e. didn't see anything fried on the menu). They really shine in the bruschetta arena -- they have 10+ selections! They also have very healthy options such as great salads as well as a veggie board. I had the Hannah's Field salad and loved it -- tasty and refreshing. Parking was a bit effortful on an early Saturday afternoon. Their small lot was full so I had to find a street spot.

Postinos Yummmmm!! Met a friend here for lunch. I had no idea this place was back here. First Impression: Ooooooo, this place is swanky. I can't wait to come back here at night! Perhaps for a date niiiight! I got there right at 11:00am, which is a super perfect time. I had my pick of where to sit, etc. I literally think I was the first customer of the day. I'm not mad at it. Parking: There is street parking available and a small lot behind the building. Customer Service: The staff was super knowledgeable. They recommended the Cucumber Lemonade, which is now my new favorite and I was pretty much able to customize my entire meal. The Ambiance: This place is giving me date day or date night vibes. It's like you are transported to a hip, cool, happening bar that just happens to be in your backyard! Food: The food was great. They have quite a few sharable/boars options. Even if that is not your thing, their menu is super customizable and the staff is very knowledgeable about the menu items, if substitutions are allowed, etc. Started with the Sweet Potato Wedges, which were good. No hoops or tricks with this one. These were truly sweet potato wedges fried and served. I then got the Nine Iron Panini with Pesto with Yukon Gold Potato Chips! It was delicious! Yum! My friend ordered a Panini and a salad. All of their food looks delish. In essence, I will be back here for sure for a date day or a date night! The food is great and the service is amazing!

Love the food and the ambiance. Wish they had cocktails (only beer and wine bar) but this is a great place to get dinner before going out to the gay bars in Montrose.
