Postino has become my go-to spot lately. Great deals, delicious food (the Bruschetta Board is a must), and an amazing wine selection. One of the servers, Bobby, told me about their subscription program- I highly recommend signing up to get a $20 bottle every month. He's also one of the friendliest servers around! read more

This is the coziest little spot my friends and I love to go to, we're regulars at this point. They offer a $30 Wine and Board option every Monday and Tuesday starting at 8pm. It's the best deal you can find, literally a whole bottle of wine and 4 different types of toast to go with it. The staff is so nice and accommodating, they always remember us and know we love sitting on the couch in the corner. I 100% recommend coming here for a cute date night or a night out with the girls it's the best place to spill the teaaaa read more

Best service by Tizi! She was kind and so helpful with their menu. Great happy hour till 5 pm. I recommend the soup of the moment and the seasoning Burrata . read more

After two busy days exploring Disneyland and waiting in long lines at Downtown Disney restaurants, we opted to have dinner elsewhere. Since we were staying in a lovely area of Irvine, we discovered this spot. The wall adorned with vintage radios (possibly from the '80s and '90s) was especially cool, and I really enjoyed their playlist! Our delicious dinner turned out to be the perfect way to end our trip. We chose to share a variety of dishes from the "Snacky Things" and "Boards" sections of the menu: Meatballs, Goat, & Cheese - wonderfully flavorful, robust with garlic and herbs, rich yet not too heavy. OMG Grilled Cheese - Incredibly cheesy and decadent, far beyond a simple, crispy grilled cheese. Steak and Chicken Skewers - Tender, juicy meat served with a zesty, bright Sicilian garlic yogurt. Sweet Potato Wedges - While I usually prefer them fried, these baked wedges were well-seasoned and still delicious. Bruschetta Sampler (unfortunately, my photo turned out blurry, so I deleted it!) Though it's no longer on their menu, this was our favorite dish. We sampled several bruschetta boards: Brie, Apple, and Fig Spread (our top pick); Ricotta, Dates & Pistachio (runner-up); Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone (third place); and Smoked Salmon & Pesto (still delicious!). I especially loved how they divided each bruschetta into fourths so everyone could try them. It was a wonderful final dinner in Irvine before heading home. Our waitress was exceptionally friendly, and the food arrived quickly. She even complimented my daughter's Disneyland sweater, sparking a sweet conversation about Guardians of the Galaxy. I wish I had caught her name. read more

Such a cute wine bar with a great happy hour! $28 for a bottle is a steal! My friend and I got the fries, olives, and a bruschetta board and everything was excellent! I especially loved the burrata, bacon, arugula, and tomato one but all of them were really yummy and paired well with the wines. Luis and Alejandro were our servers and they were attentive but gave us our space to yap. They checked in when they noticed we were low on drinks or food and were super welcoming and friendly overall. Postino has a great outdoor patio summer vibe to just hang out for a few hours, have some wine, and bask in the warmth of the sun. Parking is also a hassle in this plaza but it's big enough that if you drive around a few times, you'll find something. read more

Came here on a weekend around 1pm and was seated quickly! Service was great, we have Benjamin, who was super quick and friendly (if you need any suggestions, he's your guy). Love that they have $7 wine everyday before 5pm. Great place for a girl dinner, with their wine promo and shareable bruschetta and boards. They're currently running a special Battle of the Bruschetta where they feature 2 different bruschettas and you can vote for your fav. Ambiance is chill and they also have the World Cup games playing at the bar. read more

Parking can be difficult since they share a lot with a lot of other businesses. Get there early to find a spot. Make a reservation to avoid a wait. Plenty of options inside and outside. They have umbrellas when it's sunny and heaters when it's cold. Their bruschetta boards are my go to item. You can pick 4 different ones on your board for around $20. They cut each slice of bread into 4 strips. The OMG Grilled Cheese was not as cheesy as I hoped it would be. However the tomato soup is delicious. While I'm glad we tried it, we probably wouldn't order this again. read more

The food was delicious! The service was great! Our waitress comp'd a Crispy cauliflower because it was our first time, and that dish was incredibly well balanced. Romesco sauce was savory and the caper/ raisin topping was the perfect pairing to go with the cauliflower! Highly recommended! On top of that we enjoyed a flight of different toasts. Each one was individually great and paired well with our wine. Postino's outdoor patio combined with good eats and wine was a great lunch vibe! We will be returning! See y'all there! read more

Recent patio experience on Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. was not that great. One server didn't stay with us the whole time, so messages were getting miscommunicated within the trio of waiters. The first guy was nice, easy going, and knew his stuff. However, the two other guys looked annoyed that we weren't leaving fast enough because it looked like they were getting the patio tables ready for something as they were putting down the reserved markers on the tables. Well, they didn't tell us before hand, so I'm not sure what they wanted us to do. I made a reservation in advance and put down "birthday" as the special occasion we were celebrating. They did absolutely nothing for the celebration, so I'm at a loss as to why they even ask when I made the reservation. My friend who is vegetarian wanted to sub meat on the sandwich for avocado, and he said they can't do that. That's crazy to me. He said different meats can be substituted but not avocado replaced for a meat. I hope they change that "rule" soon. Not sure why any person would pay full price for a meal when the expensive part of the dish is taken out and can't be substituted. The only saving grace at this place were the donut holes. Those are phenomenal and the only reason I added any stars to this restaurant. If I return, it's going to be to take the donuts home as a to-go order. My tuna sandwich was extremely fishy and even tasted like there was bacon fat used in it instead of mayo. The potato leek soup was not good. It was watery and had the leeks extremely limp and overly cooked. I pictured a thicker soup when it mentioned potato--nope. It was a watery mess of a concoction. I think the expression on my face must have been very disdainful because it was nothing like I pictured. The patio faces a parking lot that is partly under construction. The service is what messed up this experience for me. read more

Met friends for lunch at Postino Park Place, which was between Oceanside and Lakewood. First time here, chose it over all the other choices based on the reviews. The food was very good. We had the Italian beef panini, chicken & mozzarella panini and the raspberry chicken salad. It was a nice surprise to be given the cauliflower app complimentary. The only "challenge" was navigating the small space. When going to the restroom you pass by what I think was the drink station for the staff, they are moving fast, so just a warning to be aware of your surroundings as you might have to shift quickly. Going back to the patio around the table instead was a challenge as well. But that is minor, just had to share. Recommend making a reservation, we didn't but go there before the crowd. Also, the parking lot is busy, so pack your patience trying to find a parking space. read more

My client and I decided to try this spot out for happy hour and we both love the concept. Nothing beats wine, small bites to share and great vibes. We ordered the bruschetta board (mix and match), chicken & beef skewers with garlic yogurt, and meatballs to enjoy with our drinks. All dishes were very flavorful and paired really well with the wine. You can't go wrong with any of these dishes. Each bite was delish! Also, our server was on top of it, which we really appreciated. Love quick service and attentiveness. Highly recommend this spot for date night, GNO, or happy hour. read more

I'm obsessed with Postino Park Place! It was my first time here recently and I enjoyed the whole vibe and menu. It has a hipster vibe with lots of references to music, like the concert fliers in the bathroom and the boom boxes on the walls as decor. They have a large wine bar, lots of happy hour specials and some delicious foods. They are known for the bruschetta bites. We ordered the flight and you get 6 options to share and then they slice them into four smaller pieces. It was a fantastic appetizer. The service was wonderful and we loved sitting on the outdoor patio. My salad was pretty good and I loved seeing the zero proof menu too! Overall it was an A+ experience and I can't wait to go back soon! read more

we came here randomly and so happy to have found this spot! It's such a good, relaxed restaurant that you can come alone or have a group of friends. They switch up the bruschetta board I think every so often, I was sad to not have been able to try the Italian because that's what sold me on coming here, BUT I did order the board and reallllly enjoyed -Sweet and spicy pepper jam 10/10 - Burrata, bacon, arugula, tomato 10/10 -salami pesto 2/10 -prosciutto, fig, mascarpone 2/10 Crispy cauliflower 7/10 Chicken mozzarella sandwich / soup 9/10 I will definitely be back for happy hour and another bruschetta board read more

I debated gatekeeping this spot, but it's earned its flowers. This has easily become one of my regular rotations -- I find myself here at least once or twice a month, and it never misses. The bottle and board is the move if you're easing into the menu, and the bruschetta board is consistently well-executed across the board (balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, no weak links). But the standout? The mushroom fondue. Rich, earthy, and indulgent in the best way -- paired with their house chips, it's the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you leave. Service has always been solid, and the overall experience keeps me coming back. A reliable go-to that still feels a little bit like a hidden gem. read more

Postino has a lively vibe and fun atmosphere. The decor is unique, as is their menu. The servers are friendly and give great advice on what to order.

This restaurant is such a nice and vibey place. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The parking can get crowded easily but there is a parking structure nearby that you can park at. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bruschetta and boards are a great way for sharing different flavors of the food with lots of people. Also, really liked the crispy cauliflower; the sauce on there made it really tasty! Would like to come back and try some of their other things! read more

Excellent Happy Hour Drink Deals If you are looking for a great value on drinks, this is a solid spot. I visited on a Thursday and the place was busy around 4p! Happy Hour Drinks until 5p: $7 glasses of wine, $28 bottles, and $7 pitchers of beer. It is easily one of the better values in the area for a round with friends. Food: The food remains full price. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Was very excited to try this place but I just don't think the flavors paired well together on the charcuteries. The ambience and service was nice, great place to grab a drink after work, but the food wasn't notably memorable for me. I wasn't blown away by their charcuterie options nor did I really like how they flavors went together. The bruschetta flight was also nothing to hit home about. Hopefully other people who come have a better experience than I did! read more

Another great experience at Postino. The place is quaint, yet super roomy. Lots of indoor and outdoor patio/bar seating. This place is always packed!! SERVICE: Great as usual. They sat me quickly and the servers were very nice and attentive (checked on me adequately) FOOD: I can't think of anything that I can NOT recommend. Everything is super tasty. I had the Greek hummus board and the Tuscan Tuna sandwich this evening and it did not disappoint. Always consistent and always great. If you live here and have not tried it....How dare you!! read more

Wow. This place is a hidden gem for sure - lived right next door since it opened and finally gave it a chance just to realize how amazing it is. Such a great spot for a casual date or evening with friends. Especially loved the outside patio with the string lights and plants. Didn't try to drinks this time but they looked so good (very creative/refreshing-looking alcoholic and zero proof). Plates are great sizes for sharing. The bruschetta is phenomenal. All were incredibly delicious - my favorite was the burrata, bacon, arugula, tomato. Brussel sprout salad was also yummy. Next time we'll try the drinks, Caesar salad, and a few paninis. Also heard many people ordering the meatballs and skewers, sounds like they're a hit. Only reason for 4 stars is because I felt like there were things I would have loved to see on the menu that felt otherwise missing... Amanda was our server and she was so attentive and kind. It seemed as though all the servers were the same way. Finally, the bill came and I was SHOCKED by how reasonable the prices were, especially for the quality. All including a 20% tip was under $45 - very pleased. Will be back often. read more

My husband and I met up with a friend to celebrate his birthday last year. We ordered the Crispy Cauliflower and the Meatballs with Goat Cheese from the Snacky Things section of the menu, and a Chef's Charcuterie Board listed under The Other Boards. Our friend's eyes lit up when he saw the Happy Hour Beer Special (before 5PM). Some pitchers of beer were ordered and enjoyed by the two men. With the food we ordered, the tapas-sized Meatballs with Goat Cheese was my favorite. Pomodoro sauce, focaccia, and the aforementioned cheese really tasted delicious. I thought I would like the Crispy Cauliflower because some of the ingredients were sultana raisins, capers, and romesco. I ate a little, but it wasn't well suited to my palate, so I moved on to the Chef's Charcuterie board. I liked the board's olives, cheeses, and cured meats. The three of us planned to return here with different selections, like the Greek Hummus board, and something other than the Crispy Cauliflower. Our server was smart. The birthday man had questions about the menu and happy hour and the server answered them immediately and accurately. During our lunch, the birthday man wasn't interrupted when talking; the server asked him if he wanted another pitcher of beer or needed anything else at the right times. We had a good time. The aesthetic of the restaurant and the presentation of food is unique and picture worthy. read more

Why is this place not in LA so I can go all the time?! I came on a Monday night and while the music was loud, the places was practically empty. Different waiters checked in on me constantly throughout my meal. I love all of the different boards. I came by myself but wish I had more people with me to taste and try everything. This is a perfect spot for a night out with friends. The build your own bruschetta board is SO CLEVER! Honestly, it was the perfect girl dinner and I was so happy and full! If I'm ever in the OC again I will be back! (Plz open a location in LA! ) read more

One of my favorite spots. The food, the service & the vibe all 10/10. They have some really yummy tapas style options which lets you try a little bit of everything. Our waitress Jamie was great. she recommended some great options & made sure we were satisfied without being overly attentive which we really appreciated. Also The manager Diego came up to my party and introduced himself which doesn't happen often anymore! Plus they are open much later than most restaurants which is convenient. Really welcoming environment with some tasty food. Definitely recommend. read more

Great setting in Irvine off Jamboree and the 405. Eclectic decor inside with mood lighting and a pretty patio. Food is decently priced with a nice wine list and great charcuterie boards. I'm a big fan of the green goddess chopped salad. Service tends to be below par here. I've been here twice, once with a large party (12+) and once for a date with my husband. Both times we had to bug a server to put in an order, for a refill, for a check, just annoying. Our server last night didn't even smile. Was excited to bring my husband here but didn't quite make the cut for a place to "return to". The manager is really nice though and is definitely trying to make improvements.

Postino was lovely! I'm visiting family in the area and was looking for somewhere to grab a drink and dessert on a Wednesday evening. Postino provided just that! It's in a beautiful, upscale shopping center. Plenty of parking. Lovely seating areas inside and out of the restaurant. The decor is fun and funky, while still managing to be very elegant as well. Sophia and Ricky at the bar were very kind and attentive. I would love to bring my husband back here next time we're in the area together. Would love to explore more of the menu next time! read more

The ideal girl dinner spot. Pretty fun ambiance, with plenty of drink options and finger foods. Parking can be difficult in the main area, but easier in the parking structure Food/Drink- 4 stars We tried the crispy cauliflower, a few of the bruschettas, roasted mushroom fondue, and the skewers. Everything was good, but it was also pretty forgettable. We had the chocolate donuts for dessert, which was more or less the same as above Service- 4 stars Food came out quickly but we did have to chase down servers during a peak weekend night Bottom Line Good drinks spot with some good finger foods. read more

Came here with my team after work. We were unfamiliar with the menu and what to get. Our server helped us and recommended some good appetizers to start with. We got the bruschetta board and he helped picked the toppings for us. I enjoyed the Mexican street corn one and apple fig one. He also recommended the salmon board. The cheese and salad was really good on that board. For drink I got the prickly pear lemonade. It was tasty but more on the tart side. For my main I got the P.R.E.A.M bowl. The menu is a bit confusing as it says it comes with chicken or steak skewers. But the waitress that took my order said it comes with one of each. And it costed $2 extra to make both steak. The bowl was tasty though the sauce it came with was really good. Overall a good spot to hang out if you are not too hungry. The main dish was not too filling and do not feel too heavy. read more

A great spot for lunch or happy hour! While most restaurants only offer few HH wine selections, you can choose any glass of wine from their menu for $7 until 5 pm daily. Such a great deal! I also love their bruschetta board, which offers four different options, making it perfect for sharing. I also ordered "Choose Two" of any half panini, salad, or soup. The Prosciutto Brie Panini on focaccia bread and Brussels Sprouts Salad were both delicious. Cool retro vibes, great food & wine and excellent service! read more
