Arizone-based Postino Wine Cafe has more 25 restaurants across the US. There's an emphasis on wine and sharable plates, like a charcuterie boards, flat breads and skillets of meatballs.
The wine list is ineresting and varied with only a handful of big California reds. Been looking for a gruner veltliner from Austria? They got it.
Postino’s is best known for its bruschetta boards, where you can choose 4 out of 12 options per board. Each piece of bruschetta is cut into 4 bite-size slices so everyone can enjoy a bite or two of each combination. We chose the prosciutto di parma with fig and mascarpone, smoked salmon and pesto, mushroom and mascarpone and their seasonal option, which was a Mexican street corn. All were unique and tasty in their own right, and there is not one that we wouldn’t order again. However, our personal favorite happened to be the mushroom and mascarpone.
