Q:
WHats the vibe for dress code? Would a dress for her and a button up shirt be over dress? First date so we're gonna dress to inpress
A:
You can go either way here...the scene is upscale casual, and you're comfortable with sandals and shorts as well as slacks and a button up shirt. Can't go wrong so long as it's clean and relaxed!

Are you taking reservations?
A:
They do take reservations but not on Monday and Tuesdays nights. This is because they have their board and bottle deal starting at 8:00

Just had the best brunch at Postino Central. I ordered the Classic Remix and the eggs were cooked perfectly and didn't come out like an omelet like most places. The tots and sauce were amazing and the bacon was nice and crispy.

What a hidden gem this place is. Went here after a referral from my office colleague just to try the $5 beer pitcher that he used to do with friends when he was at ASU. To our surprise they still do that happy hour till 5 PM, not $5 now but just a $1 increase maybe due to inflation.
But coming to this place, here are my comments:
Food: Bruschettas are special here and were recommended by the server as well. He even offered a free one if we decided not to take it. Then we anyways took a set of 4 and you get the option to select any from the list. Indeed it is one of the best we ever had. 5/5 for sure. We tried smoked salmon pesto, artichoke & basil tomato. The Salmon one is my favorite.
Drinks: $6 pitcher or wine during happy hour. That is most cheapest happy hour pricing ever in our US history. No idea how but it is true.
Ambiance: Great vibe here both indoors and outdoors with nice decor elements all over. Plenty of seating.
Staff: Very courteous and welcoming. Quick service and top-notch class.
I would definitely return here and may even become frequent for pitcher drinks and snacks after my office hours which happens to be located just 4 miles away.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0Business owner information

Came here on a Saturday evening in February and it was packed at 6pm. There is plenty of parking but every spot was full. I drove around a couple of times and managed to snag a spot right by the entrance. Wait time was 40 min for a spot inside but it turned out only to be 20 min.
I got a glass of Pinot noir ($18) and my friend and I split two bruschetta boards. We preferred the sweet bruschetta such as the spicy goat cheese jam, Brie and fig, ricotta and pistachio and the mozzarella tomato bruschetta. The second board had prosciutto, corn and some other savory ones and we finished everything but the sweet ones were the favorites. My friend wanted to get a bottle of sparkling wine to go but they said they don't recork the sparkling and she would have to finish the bottle so she just went with a glass. Overall it's a great place to go for a friend date where you want to focus on talking with some food and drinks. This is a very busy location but the service was quick and friendly.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I can't believe I haven't tried Postino until now! My fiancé and I went out for a date night the other night and we had the best time! Every person we encountered who worked at Postino was so friendly, professional, and nice :)
We jumped on the online waitlist around 6:20pm and got there around 7pm when we were 3rd in line on the waitlist. When we came up to the host stand, the hostess with the short blond hair/short bangs was so sweet and helped us get seated right away, even with it being very busy.
After we were sat, we got water right away from a server who explained that all the servers there work as a team and will all being assisting us. Caitlin (I may not be spelling this right) was our main server that night and was just so sweet and helpful! When she heard it was our first time there, she was thrilled and immediately decided to bring us a complimentary appetizer on her.
After inquiring about allergies or foods we didn't like, Caitlin brought us their seasonal corn/cauliflower bruschetta, which was so tasty. We loved whatever sauce was spread across the bread and the veggies were so good. We were impressed when we found out it was vegan.
Becca, the manager, also checked in with us throughout the night and brought us our meals. She was very pleasant and nice, I appreciated her help throughout the evening! We each ordered the half panini, half salad combo, and I loved the French dip and raspberry chicken salad.
I'm looking forward to coming back :)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We came here at the suggestion of my brother as he said their happy hour is really good if we get here before 5:00. After a day of hiking we stopped by here for a pitcher of beer to quench our thirst. We didn't realize the pitchers were $6 which is a great deal. We were hungry since we didn't have lunch but we also had dinner reservations in 90 minutes so we didn't want to eat too much. We ordered their chicken and beef skewers which were very good and tender. We will definitely return to the Irvine location when we return home to try their charcuterie boards and the bruschetta sampler.

Bright, beautiful interior that is open air.
Amazing bruschetta boards ($17.25) with your choice of 4 bruschettas. My favorite was the smoked salmon and pesto.
We only got this but the rest of the brunch menu looked awesome. Love how they list the calorie count for conscious folk.
Very attentive, awesome, accomodating staff.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

My husband and I have been to this location twice within the last couple of months. The service each time was beyond exceptional and the food absolutely delicious. This time we each got a beer and split a board. We sat out on the patio near the fireplace to enjoy what we ordered.
I wouldn't recommend taking kids here. I think that it is more for a date night or dinner with friends. Don't walk...run if you haven't already been here. You won't be disappointed.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jan 21, 2024
I've been to this location a few times and it's always been inconsistent. Ambiance is definitely chill and casual.
Cons
Service is not consistent and when you do get it, it is good. There were 3 issues with pricing this last time going. 1. The Happy Hour menu does not explicitly say what is on for HH for $6 glasses so beware of what you're ordering because you might just spend way more than you were planning until you get the receipt. 2. The menu price for the grilled cheese was $13.95 and receipt price was $14.50. 3. The menu price for bruschetta was $16.95 and receipt price was $17.25. Trying to get all 3 fixed was troublesome and took several iterations of me explaining to the staff what was incorrect. It seems like they charge more for lunch and dinner than their brunch menu or their menus are not up to date and you will not find out about true pricing until you get your receipt.
Pros
Happy hour for $6 before 5pm every day is so good. The food has always been good, so that's a plus. Their grilled cheese is probably my most favorite thing on the menu for the price and bruschetta coming in at second. Their cookie sundae was pretty good and great sharing portion!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Made a reservation for Thursday evening - we were seated right away. My husband and I typically frequent Postino East, so this was a new location to us! We like the layout of the interior much better for this one - it's more spacious and there are more tables. We did not check out the patio - it was cold and dark lol
Our group of 5 ordered the following: a bruschetta board (2 goat cheese/spicy pepper jam, prosciutto/fig/marscapone, and bacon/burrata/tomato/basil), two chicken mozzarella panini, and a charcuterie board. We also shared a bottle of French rose (called Nevermind) that featured art from a local phx artist! Everyone enjoyed their food - I also think portions are much more generous than at Postino East - for example, the fig bruschetta typically only comes with one or two small pieces of fig, while ours here was loaded! Same thing with the toppings for the bacon/tomato bruschetta. If this location weren't so far from us, we'd probably switch to this one!
The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the service. I do not vibe with sharing servers - it really slows the service down tremendously. We waited awhile after getting drinks before someone came to take our order, then multiple servers came to ask if our order had been taken yet... it also took 15 minutes to get a refill on one person's water at our table.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information
