I don't know guys...I keep telling myself that I'm going to eat other places but here I am, about to go to Postino again. Maybe I'm biased because I used to work at Joyride (On Central and Camelback - Go eat there it's the best), and maybe it's because Upward Projects is one of the best companies out there that serves up delicious food with an amazing staff (I know first hand but again not being biased, just stating the facts)...But Postino has been one of my favorite spots in both Tempe and Uptown since I discovered it almost four years ago. It took me a long time to venture into getting the Bruschetta's because I love the sandwiches so much. The chicken and mozzarella and the turkey are my favorite and please do us all a favor and get it on focaccia because there is just no other way. I've had the bruschetta a few times now and I've tried a variety of flavors and none of them have been a disappointment. My favorite is and will always be the apple with fig spread. Literally just so good. I usually go to Postino during work lunches so I don't drink but I love how every Upward Project restaurant has their $5 until 5 (glasses of wine and pitchers of beer). Will continue to come back here until I get sick of it. read more

Love the bruschetta and wine night! My friends and I love having a night to look forward to drinking wine and eating the bruschetta! The service is great! The ony downside is they are always crowded so expect to wait for a table. read more

Thank you for the quick response. No one needs to endure the Arizona summer while enjoying Postino's great food & drinks. Make the effort to close your doors and windows to keep it cool, especially when you don't have fans. Thanks! read more

Food is great! Everything tastes amazing. Just beware that the food takes over 15 minutes to get to your table. I have spent over an hour at this Postino's twice. read more

Such a treat while visiting ASU! We had the chance last Fall and we didn't miss it this visit! The bruschetta offers are beautifully balanced with quality ingredients and variety to please! Try the artichoke! So good! read more

Had lunch here today. The food and service were great but the outdoor seating area needs a thorough cleaning! And the plants have not been well cared for - some have died and not been replaced. In general, the outdoor facilities look unkempt which detracts from the overall experience. read more

I have a group of friends that regularly go to the Gilbert location, tonight we decided to try this location and weren't disappointed with a server named Zack. He got us what we needed, made time to have conversations with us, and checked in making sure we were ok. We officially will be coming back to be served by him. He made the experience memorable!! read more

Wifey and I brunched Saturday morning before things got crazy with the ASU game. Our visit to Postinos Annex resulted with an Oasis of calm in a fresh environment where everything was in sync. We were greeted promptly, seated and allowed to settle in to gauge our surroundings. Contrary to parties being stacked too closely, various seating arrangements are employed. An openness conducive to extended patronage, and opportunity to sample delightful fare. The food elevates the mood as myriad and distinct flavors complement preparation found to be attentive. The staff executed in harmonious fashion without any measure of pretension. There was even the odd oops behind counter where glassware hit floor. Acoustics muted the impact preserving a measure of serenity. Involved parties joined together to recover. When it was time to leave Postinos, there was a bit of sadness (it was going to get toasty outside that day. JK). Seriously, the dining experience and food were great; morning beverages also spot on. Looking forward to returning. Wonder what's for dessert? read more

After an underwhelming experience a couple of years ago, I had the best time last night after giving Postino a second shot! The bottle and board promo on Monday and Tuesday nights after 8 is an incredible deal. My boyfriend and I split a board of prosciutto/mascarpone/fig; brie/apple; artichoke spread; and mozzarella/basil/tomato and everything was great. All 3 of our waitstaff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. Would definitely hurry back. read more

Best tuna salad sandwich I've ever had with a walnut salad. This place was absolutely delicious, and very reasonably priced

Decided to give this place another chance because of all of the positive reviews. I was not disappointed! Hubby and I visited the kid in Tempe and took him there for dinner. The service was stellar and attentive and the food was very yummy. Drinks came quickly. We ordered a butcher's block again and I loved pretty much everything on it. For dinner I had a chicken salad which was fresh and different. Husband and son's paninis were hot and yummy. Glad I went back ! :) read more

Kody!!! Best server of my life made my date night so complete! Literally madeI made everything perfect and so romantic for the two of us absolutely enjoyed give him a raise!!! He's perfect best thing of my life! read more

Lovely decor and layout-there's an outdoor bar and seating. Great for people watching-especially the staff who are an interesting, diverse (in personality and dress) crowd. Loud lively music ranging from today's top hits to 90's rap which I enjoyed. Was greeted quickly and given ice water and a menu. After I ordered my food and first drink unfortunately I was forgotten. I had to ask for ice water refill, second drink and extra toasts for my butcher block appetizer even though I was sitting in front of the bartender. Although wine list boasts "best wine selection in the world" in my opinion It was not. Included were trendy new wines which are popular with the naive college crowds (Malbec, how novel!). The butcher block appetizer was presented very nicely and had a perfect mix of salty and sweet as well as textures. Would've given 4 stars if service was more attentive and wine list was better. read more

Good spot, cheap drinks before 5PM, is a great happy hour. Every once in awhile the service is less than expected but in general a great spot read more

My friends and I LOVE Postino. The food is always delicious, and you can't beat the board & bottle deal on Mondays and Tuesdays. Our favorite server Bruno is fantastic with wine recommendations, and the whole atmosphere of the place makes it one of our favorite restaurants to go to! read more

Best happy hour and staff! The $5 before 5 is a great deal, but it was the super friendly and welcoming staff that kept me coming back - twice a week, every week for over the course of one of my semesters at ASU. I only ever sat at the bar and all the bartenders I met were exceptional and pleasant to interact with! My go to's were the stagedive pinot noir and occasionally the grilled cheese (the pesto is bomb)! Great location with a hip vibe and genuine staff! read more

Great food great service the only thing is that it can be a long wait if you go at night to get a table. Once you sit down though you'll think it is worth the wait because their patio/food/service is all amazing. Highly recommend that you go there at some point! read more

I love postino!!! They have the best deal on Monday and Tuesday nights where you a get a board of bruschetta (their best dish) and a bottle of wine all for only $20! It's still a great place other nights. Very knowledgeable staff that work as a team. Good, wholesome food! read more

Bruschetta boards are incredible! We ordered six of them and everyone at the table shared. Excellent service as well.

Love this place! Such a relaxed atmosphere and very helpful and attentive staff. Thank you!

I loved the food and the beer. Bruno was a great server. He went above and beyond to make sure we all had a good time. We definitely will come back and ask for Bruno's section. read more

Their brunch is sooo good. I catch myself randomly craving their French toast from time to time. Went in when the waitlist next door was nearly 2 hours once and have been back multiple times since. Wait can be hit or miss but the food and drink deals make it more than worth it! read more

Love their food but it depends on what servers are working if you are going to have good customer service or not. They talk to you like your dumb. But the brunette is the bomb! read more

This place has great food! Salads and paninis with a good brunch menu. Excellent service. The atmosphere is really enjoyable. I had lunch outside before a football game at ASU. I would highly recommend this place! I would come be coming back read more

Love this place. The bruschetta is to die for. Such an amazing atmosphere that I want to come back again and again. I love sitting outside on their patio. We were helped by the host Hannah and she was amazing. If you go definitely ask for her! She won't disappoint. read more

So our new beach cruiser biker gang stopped by after a nice 10 mile cruise on a gorgeous day. We were lookin for some cool drinks and light snacks to refuel before the ride back. We were promptly seated on the patio, so we could keep an eye on our sweet rides. None of us thought to bring a lock... :( rookies!! We were quickly given some menus and waters. And then... we waited. I'd say about 3-4 minutes before someone came by to take our drink orders. We should have just ordered food right away. It took another couple minutes for some iced teas. And another couple minutes to come back for the food orders. We thought maybe we were just being grumpy hungry riders. Then we looked around. It seemed like the service was pretty slow throughout patio area. There were quite a few filled tables, with what looked like 2 people handling them all. But the 3 behind the bar looked like they had it good, just standing there chatting it up. How about jumping over the bar and help out with the customers? Some had the half paninis and half salad combos. Others had the full paninis with the side salad. For me, the full panini and basic side salad was the better value. I think we will make the trek again, and give it another shot. The food was good. Though, the bruchetta looked awesome! So we will have to try it! We just hope the service steps it up a bit. read more

Perfect place for brunch! Food is great and the atmosphere is awesome! Walnut toast with brie is super yummy! read more

I've gone here multiple times during the school year, and while the food is pretty delicious, the service leaves a lot to be desired. I'm a relatively quiet person and hate starting scenes, but it's honestly so frustrating when you get there earlier than other people only to be given a table last just because you're a casually dressed young adult by yourself. I've had staff members pass and ignore me by the door and sometimes take as long as ten minutes just to seat me. And there was a time when it took me over half an hour just to flag my server down and get my check actually brought to the table! Mind you, I had an almost two hour break, and this restaurant was like a five minute walk to my building; for me to have to sprint and be on the verge of late just because of long waits/terrible service was ridiculous! If you're willing to splurge on delicious but expensive food and have nowhere important to be afterwards, then by all means, go eat here. But I recommend just getting your order to go because it's somewhat faster and you won't have to technically tip, plus there are other places you can sit that are less hectic. You could always just eat at another place, too, since Downtown Tempe has no shortage of restaurants. read more

Brianna was an amazing server from start to finish. Her excellent service on top of the other workers at Postino Annex reminded me why I love coming to this location on College. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Love this place! It's fantastic for group events/birthdays/a night out with the girls. The Monday and Tuesday bottle of wine + bruschetta is an amazing deal! The service is fast, and they're always really nice and cater to what we want. The bruschetta's are all really amazing but I love the roasted pepper bruschetta, it's the best!! They're also able to cork your wine so you can take it home if you don't finish. Absolutely great, I recommend it! read more

My friend and I ate at this location for the first time. It is very clean, elegant/casual and food was delicious. I would say the only down point was a certain server or two. Looked like she either did not want to be there or attend us. I mean at least fake it til you make it! read more

You can never go wrong with the sandwich and soup or salad combo! The appetizers I've gotten are delicious, although way too pricey compared to how much I typically spend on the main meal. The environment is very lively and during the summer they have the misters on so you're still able to sit outside on their patio area without it being too hot. They do have a deal that a lot of my coworkers and supervisors love to take advantage of ~ the bruschetta board and wine bottle for $20 after a certain time in the evenings. Their bruschetta boards are always amazing no matter what combination you get!! For your first time, definitely get a bruschetta board and if you can't finish it, you'll have an amazing leftover midnight snack for later that night! read more

This is one of the few places around ASU campus that I was eager to try for a while. We finally went there on a Sunday for lunch and there was no wait. Service was excellent, as well as the food we ordered. I also loved the decoration! Will definitely be back! read more

This is my favorite spot to go to for dinner and drinks when my friends are in town. I love that it's so close to the university because it gives it a different vibe than other Postinos. I love getting the board and bottle deal. My favorite bruschetta is the apple and fig one and I love the downtown red blend! read more

This is a fantastic place to wine down. If you ever come here, please ask for Bruno, he's one of the most excellent waiters I have ever had. His knowledge of wines is astounding and Postinos' selection is enough to make any wine-o surprised. Highly recommend coming here. I'm definitely trying to work my way down the list of wines. read more

Yo Michael is the best server on the block! Made me want to order the whole menu. He knows how to start a conversation as well. Went above and beyond the call of duty! Deserves a raise for sure! read more

Yumm! Another place to go to enjoy the Postino level of delicious food and terrific service. Love the ambience. This one obviously has more of a college crowd feel which is cool too. read more

Patrick was such a great server!!! He came after our other server left and treated us so nicely and reassured us about our food and kept refilling our drinks and was overall so nice! Thanks Patrick! (From Daisy, Alyssa, and Ciera) read more

Great prices and love the ambiance. My favorite is the bruchetta board.

I have never had bad service at any postino locations. All the staff are always happy to help you and so friendly, making it such an enjoyable experience!! I've been a million times, only ever had the bruschetta! It's to die for, seriously. read more
