Postino Arcadia was better than expected on a recent visit. On the way back home from the airport my friend and I decided to stop for a nosh and wine. When we got there late afternoon, we were welcomed immediately and cheerfully and seated promptly. As soon as were seated, one of the wait staff brought us water and took our order for a bottle of Caparza. It was a lovely Italian, a fill bodied Sangiovese Tuscan but not as murky as a Chianti. It was delicious from the first sip to the last drop. If you like Italian reds, this is a really good one. We next ordered our food and my friend ordered the bruschetta, I wanted a panini and settled on the autostrada. One of Postino's delights is to choose your favorites when ordering the bruschetta s there are some wonderful choiced. He ended up with the salmon, caprese, artichoke and the green apple toasts. Each one offers a unique blend of flavors and no one does it better than Postino. The Autostrada panini has all the right meats and cheeses but I am not a fan of the arugula and tomato. I took those off and added them to my side salad and took a bite. Each bite took me back to a stop I made on the way from Naples to Salerno where I had a similar panini with such wonderful flavors. The food and wine would earn this wonderful restaurant five stars but the Postino service by committee is not my favorite. It creates uneven service and no one seems totally responsible for your table. Other than that, Postino continues to be a wonderful gem in the Arcadia neighborhood and highly recommended. This was a great improvement from my last visit.
