Came here with a friend for some drinks and a bite to eat on my bday. It's a really nice wine bar with a chill atmosphere. The only con I would say is the lack of parking in their limited parking lot. Luckily I was able to find street parking near by so it's not a big deal. They have a pretty interesting food menu with a big selection of bruschetta. We got the bruschetta board, skewers and shrimp scampi to share. Everything we had was delicious and the staff even brought out a dessert on the house cause it was my birthday. Overall a great experience and I would definitely come back again. read more

This was such a fun restaurant, and the staff is SO friendly. Beautiful interior, gorgeous food, and great vibes. My friend and I were able to visit for a foodie event, and we tried their bruschetta board and got a great sweet wine recommendation. It's such a nice touch that they cut each bruschetta piece into 4 equal pieces for easy sharing because it is quite a lot for one person to eat. Favorites were the apple + brie and pistachios + ricotta. I would definitely come back again to try their other food items! read more

Came here for lunch with my boyfriend and we both loved it here! We split the Italian beef dip on focaccia and a bruschetta board and everything was fantastic. The meat in the beef dip was so tender and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the brie paired with it. The au jus was yummy and flavorful and really pulled everything together. We also really enjoyed the bruschetta board and appreciated that they cut each one into four strips so it made sharing very easy. The service here was great and the restaurant itself was very cute with a nice patio as well. read more

This place is so cute! No better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than in an open and airy restaurant with a daily happy hour. Couldn't beat the price of a glass of wine so my group ordered a few. I do prefer my red wines at room temp, but some were served a little chilled. We ordered a bruschetta board as well and the standouts were the artichoke and the brie/apple. Our server accidentally dropped a slice of bruschetta and brought out a whole new one for us enjoy. Service was great and there is a parking lot out front. Will definitely be back! read more

Friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and delicious food. The bruschetta and skewers stood out, and prices felt reasonable.

Amazing customer service! The bread board was so delicious and all of the servers were so experienced and offered so much information on their food! The wine was delicious! It is definitely a nice intimate place to have conversation, the lighting was dark and even though we were sitting next to other people it felt like we were alone! read more

Postino Bryker Woods - Bruschetta and Riesling - Wine Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is another super cute location for Postino. They have a lot for ample parking and close to bus stops. There is bar seating and plenty of indoor and patio seating. The happy hours and specials are nice and affordable. They also offer catering. I sat inside and enjoyed talking to the very friendly wait staff. The bruschetta is fabulous. My new favorite is the French onion. My salad and soup were both so good. I recommend this spot for lunch happy hour or dinner. read more

Postino is always a good choice. I've gone to the location on South Lamar and was excited to check out this new location and wasn't disappointed. We love going Tuesday for the bottle and board deal. It's such a good deal for the amount you get and it's perfect for a group. We had a great time and we had great service! read more

We went to brunch to this place. There are ample parking spaces. The entrance looks nice. Our receiving host was very friendly and she sat us down promptly. We started with mimosas. They were very delicious and strong. The bruschetta board was amazing. My favorite was the apple fig jam and cheese. The meatballs were heavenly. Our server Ellie took care of us really well and was very attentive and nice. Overall this place is amazing and I will be back for sure! read more

This place was very pretentious for what they serve. The Tuna Pannini reminded me of something I would have gotten from a school cafeteria. The portions were tiny. And the host was super rude to my wife and I because they didn't like what I was wearing. I hope some day the staff can come to terms with who they really are as a restaurant. read more

Welcome to the neighborhood, Postino! My friends and I decided to check it out on a Thursday evening and the parking lot was full! We found free street parking and was told there was a 40 minute wait for inside seating, but the bar is first come first serve, and the outdoor patio had no wait. The inside looked spacious and well decorated. Comfy. We decided it to rough it in the heat. They have plenty of umbrellas, but no fans. 2 of us keep mini fans in our purse so that helped. Service was very friendly and our water cups stayed refreshed. We ordered a toast board which is a great price for 4 different bruschettas, only $17.50 and they have so many options. We were able to do 2 gluten free breads and 2 regular breads. We could not choose a favorite, they were all so different, fresh, and flavorful. We also ordered the crisped cauliflower which was great, not deep fried but just crisped on the outside. We ordered the raspberry chicken salad and did not expect it to be half lettuce, half chicken salad! Maybe we didn't read it right, but oh well it was still very tasty. The olive oil cake was the perfect finisher to a grazing, girl dinner! It seems like they have a nice happy hour with $6 wines and drinks, but no food on the happy hour menu yet. They offer a lot of different wines, cocktails, mocktails, and lemonade/teas. When we left, we got coupons for $25 bottle of wine + a board, we will definitely be back! read more

I did the bruschetta board and wine for lunch and it was absolutely amazing. The wine is only $6 a glass until 5 pm, which is so dangerous. They also have a late night special of $25 for a bruschetta board and a bottle of wine on Monday/Tuesday after 8 pm. Bruschetta board - * prosciutto, fig, mascarpone - my favorite * Smoked salmon and pesto - perfect brunch * Burrata, bacon, arugula, tomato - ok but a bit too much tomato to taste the burrata * Mexican street corn (chefs special) - really unique with a nice kick The bruschetta is cut into 4 pieces each so is fantastic for sharing. Service is fantastic and everyone is super friendly and attentive. In particular, Bernie was super welcoming. Plenty of seating inside and a chill ambiance. There's a small parking lot in front that definitely will fill up though during busy times, so I'd get here early or later in the evening. read more

I loved the South Lamar location so much that I had to come to the North location. Parking is ample, and free compared to the South Lamar location. I ordered a gluten free OMG grilled cheese with a side of tomato bisque soup because it's my favorite! It reminds me of my childhood growing up on Kraft American singles and Campbell's tomato soup, but elevated. I requested no brie because I can only eat low or no cow lactose cheeses now. The grilled cheese contained gruyere (no lactose), goat cheese, and white cheddar (low lactose). Their customer service is really good. The manager asked how my food was. For some reason, the first batch of soup I had was too spicy or peppery with a kick. Even my husband thought it had a kick. So the manager brought out a second bowl for free. The second bowl of tomato soup was on point just as he said. Delicious! read more

Excellent food. Great service. Accommodated substitutions and allergies. We ordered the Prosciutto and Brie Panini on focaccia and the West Coaster (sub-GF Bread). The balance of flavors in the Prosciutto and Brie were very nice. Personally I would've liked a little bit more balsamic vinegar, but that's just my personal preference. Perhaps it was because of the gluten-free bread, but the West Coaster was a bit meat-heavy. Still, very flavorful and very filling. read more

I don't know if my experience at Postino was a weird one off based on the reviews here, but a friend and I went last night at 7:15 and the visit was terrible- for many reasons, but the number one reason was the service. I'll cover the food quickly because honestly- not much to talk about. We got the mushroom fondue which is actually really good. Except they give you a big deep cup of it and 4 measly strips of bread to dip in. Those barely scooped like a third of the cup. And when they OFFER you more bread- they upcharge you TWO DOLLARS FOR THREE LITTLE STRIPS!! Nothing aggravates me more than when restaurants offer patrons something, then charge them without notating "that's a small upcharge, is that okay?". We then split the italian beef panini. It was a couple pieces of unseasoned beef, non melted cheese, and plain bread with a cup of au jus. Nothing was hot, melted, or toasted. When we were sat, we were sat indoors in the big dining room, at a two top that was in the far front corner, against the wall that's glass that I think can be raised in nice weather. Apparently, this table is in a weird blind spot vortex of the dining room that no Postino worker can see. It's like we were invisible. The dining room was about 40% full and it appeared that only one blond woman was working the whole room. So we sat. and waited. and waited. and after about 10-15 mins she greeted us and informed us this is a service team model- meaning, anyone essentially could help us aka basically everyone is your waiter. Which is fine....if there was more than one server. The dining room was beginning to fill up at this point, and we ordered drinks and she took off. Someone else, the first person I had seen besides her working the room, dropped off our drinks and ran off so fast I had only gotten the words "we're read-" of we are ready to order out before they were long gone. So we sat. And in that time watched the original blond server go to every table. Multiple times. Refused to look in our corner, walk near, or respond to the unbreaking eye contact I was trying ot make with her. In this time, th table three tables down got sat, got drinks and HAD FOOD and we hadn;t had anyone to take our order. I was about to get up when finally i flagged her down and she was almost surprised we wanted to order food? (when we had told her already we wanted to get a board). So we order. THe food comes out quickly, so okay, that's nice. And that was it. Drinks were empty. Water was empty. No one checked back, or asked for refills. When she finally came back at the end of the meal she asked if we wanted more bread for the queso and we said yes and she took off. And we sat. TWENTY ONE MINUTES LATER I had absolutely had it and I wanted the check. I had to get up and walk to the bar where the other gentleman who appeared to be a server was standing there, yucking it up with the bartender. It was only after he got our check that our bread arrived- WITH AN UPCHARGE we were uniformed of when she offered us more bread! To top it off, we were there as part of a yelp special, and the guy didnt show us a copy of the check and just rang my card (I was so pissed I wasn't listening to the total) and then we realized they had not removed the proper items from our bill so thank goodness we had asked for a box- it forced him to return to the table so I could get a credit back to my card. Absolutely abysmal. Maybe this team model works elsewhere, but I find when everyone owns everything, essentially, no one owns anything. That coupled with sticking us in a bizarre invisible table equalled some of the worst service ever. She wasn't even friendly! There are far, FAR too many places in this city to want to return to that treatment. WE were there for 2 hours for NO REASON. It's worth noting I have been to the south location and had a very pleasant experience. But this one isn't it- esp when the food can't justify the experience. read more

Postino is a cute, vibey spot for a date night, brunch, or catch up! The interior is spacious with moody lighting. We got our food very fast, so food service was good. Our waiter didn't really check on us after giving us our food though, so I had to wait a bit to get water refilled or to ask for the bill. In-depth food review: ROASTED MUSHROOM FONDUE - delicious! the fondue was so cheesy and mushroomy. The focaccia crostini felt like grilled pieces of toast that paired perfectly with the indulgent fondue. Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone - my favorite bruschetta I ordered. I love the contrast of sweet and salty! the toast is very toasty though, so it is kind of crispy crunchy tough on the edges. that applies to all the flavors. Warm Artichoke Spread - a more savory and creamy topped bruschetta. more vegetal Sweet N' Spicy Pepper Jam & Goat Cheese - again, i love the balance of sweet, salty, and spicy! the goat cheese wasn't too overpowering either CHEF'S CHOICE - the chef's choice of the day was an almond butter topped bruschetta with diced tomatoes. very fresh tasting NICK'S BOARD - my friend loved the warm soft pretzels. i loved the italian sausage and the spanish pork links. savory and deep flavors with a hint of spice. the creamy pimento cheese was a great spread and actually my favorite part was the packo pickle. the pickle was sweet, thick, juicy, and crunchy. delicious! overall, i think postino is a very cute place to grab a glass of wine and share a board. perfect for a date night and for going with a group. read more

The mozzarella bread was AMAZING. Cheese and tomato delicious. The Mexican street corn was insanely flavorful it was the chef special when I visited. The smoked salmon is packed with punching flavor (yum). And pistachio was not my instant favorite HOWEVER I took it home for leftover and it marinated so well overnight. Definitely an Emma Chamberlain overnight sauce moment. Lol. Servers were attentive and the atmosphere was dark and yellow night vibe felt like I was in a Pretty Little Liars/Vampire Diaries scene. Chefs kiss! read more

I read the reviews and learned two things that didn't surprise me when I went to the restaurant. It was exceptionally loud. Also, the menu is very bread heavy. The food was good, but not extraordinary or even out of the ordinary. Service was good and friendly. I would say that their charcuterie boards might be the best thing on the menu and perhaps come during happy hour would be a good idea. read more

Back again for third time since December 2025. The staff, food and music (dance party during happy hour?) is a much needed neighborhood gem - HH is adults; and the young families come after. Perfect for old school Austinites / sophisticated and trendy for a crowd that has called Austin home for a long time. read more

This place has a lot of potential they've done a beautiful job with the decor, however, being there at 7 o'clock on a Thursday, it was so loud we had to yell to be heard. The music was blaring completely SO unnecessarily. The food was basically average .....nothing special. Our waiter kept disappearing, and we ended up clearing our own plates by putting them on the table next to us. At the end, we couldn't even find him .... He had basically disappeared literally. Basically, it's nice to have a place like this in central Austin, but I think there are things they need to address in order for it to be a hit. I imagine sitting on the patio and back would've been much nicer in different weather. Would highly recommend them turning the music down as the surfaces are all hard and so the sound vibrates everywhere read more

Had the greatest experience because of Matt. He had the best recommendation and amazing service. Would definitely come back just to have him again as a server! read more

I really hate to be the first 3 star review here, but I care a lot about food and quality restaurants, and I live in Bryker Woods, and so I really want this restaurant to be all that it can be! My wife and two of our kids (1 middle, 1 high school) went in for dinner on Friday August 8th. I know they were newly opened, and so very busy, but WOW was it LOUD. I'm not super sensitive on this front but it was not super enjoyable. Later in the dinner a few tables around us cleared out and the noise was a bit more tolerable. With hard surfaces all around, they would do well to apply some insulation to the ceiling or something. I saw multiple customers there that were acquaintances of mine from the neighborhood. One of them had two small children and had to keep rotating time walking outside with them as it was too noisy for their family to enjoy the inside. Given that this location was newly opened, there was no shortage of staff.. if anything, people checking in with us probably every 3-4 minutes was almost overbearing, but still it's better than being neglected. Here is the piece that pushes me down to 3 starts, however... their menu is very bread-heavy. And this is me as a carb-loving, gluten-friendly person. Give me a pastry any day and I love it! But at dinner, I want more than paninis and bruschetta. I was pretty disappointed about the scant options for dinner entrees without a heavy bread component, though the small plates and starters looked good. (I tried the mushroom/cheese fondue which was a little too spicy and very rich, so not sure about that one). Just didn't feel like a very balanced menu. Only 2 salad options as well, if I recall. Given that they have many locations and a common menu across them, I'm not overly optimistic about their ability to pivot there quickly, but I sure wish they would adjust the menu (or add some new items to the menu). I'm pulling for this place, but hope that more people will give some of this feedback so that they can adjust! read more

My best friend and I stopped here to celebrate with a glass of wine after getting the news that she had beaten cancer after 5 years and happened upon the grand opening! Andrew, Amia, (bartenders) and Bernie (GM) were some of the kindest and most compassionate people. We were so impressed by their thoughtfulness, and how above and beyond they went to make her (our) incredible day even better. I will be back very soon (and maybe a regular WATCH OUT!) We already loved Postino from the South Lamar location. The people make this place stand out. The highest of recommendations to give it a try! The meatballs and goat cheese are what dreams are made of. Happy hour is an amazing deal! read more

All was so GOOD!l, especially their bruschetta board. I loved the brownie dessert. Our server, Sakena was super attentive and sweet!

Postino Bryker Woods - Bread board - Wine Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Honestly screw this place. Me and 4 of my friends came to do the happy hour thing at Postino. $20 for a bottle of wine and 4 pieces of toast. Fine deal, nothing special. What really made us angry was the service we got. First off, we didn't get waters for the first 30 minutes. We asked right when we got there and still had to track the guy down. Fine, whatever, everyone makes mistakes. But while we were checking out it got worse. We all got the same thing so he offered to split the bill in 4, we agreed. He went around with his little thing and we each selected 20% tip (because we're nice people unlike our scammer server), and then we realized later we were each charged over $14 in tip on a $27 total. That's over 50%. Now there's nothing we can really do other than tell all of our friends to stay away from this place. Hit me up if you see this I will personally give you a bottle of wine and 4 pieces of toast for $15. No absurd tip necessary. Do better Postinos!!!! read more

FAIL! My partner has food allergies and requested a meal to be dairy free. I ordered the same meal with dairy. Twice there was a confirmation that his be dairy free. A server brought out our plates, asked which one got the special request and gave him his meal. Halfway through, he realized that he got the wrong order. The good news is he isn't at severe risk of anaphylactic shock, but he's got at least 12 hours of misery tomorrow. Asked to speak to the manager as our server announced he was leaving and wanted us to close out. Someone showed up claiming there was no MoD, and he wasn't a manager, but just "loaned" from another location to provide coverage. They did comp our meals, but I'd rather have paid the $17.00 than have him consigned to the couch all day. First and last visit. Too bad because the experience started out pretty well. read more

wanted to try the new place in the hood. Cutting to the point, I ordered dairy free and they told me it was, but half way through eating I noticed there was Brie in the sandwich and cheese in the salad. Tomorrow is going to suck for me as I am dairy intolerant, but if they did this to someone with severe allergies, then they would have an ambulance out front. NOT going back. read more

I went to Postinos when they first opened a location in Phoenix (Arcadia/camelback area) and so while I feel super old now because that was so long ago, the tastiness of their bruschettas and selection of wines and cocktails has not diminished with this newest location.
