| - Postino Central is the pinnacle of perfection. It represents the peak of human endeavor and is worthy of every Nobel Prize past, present, and future. This is the highest praise, I know, but it is completely deserving because Postino is more than just a restaurant... It is holy ground. And modern science can prove that.
Bruschetta is, at its core, a simple dish. Traditionally, it is served as a slice of toasted bread rubbed with garlic, drizzled with olive oil, then topped with an assortment of ingredients. But Postino takes this minimalistic preparation to new levels, turning every slice of toasted bread into a dynamic canvas that highlights the finest quality ingredients. They offer eleven varieties of bruschetta, each with a signature taste to tickle your palate. And through the eleven options, there is not a single flavor profile that goes uncovered, no spectrum of taste that is lost. From savory prosciutto to herbal red peppers, dinner at Postino dances with your taste buds in every way.
My personal favorite - brie and apples with fig spread. The apple slices are fresh and the brie is so delicate. And the fig spread... Ahhh the fig spread gives a subtle sweetness... Then they all come together in that first bite, so sensual, so seductive. Like an exchange of honey betwixt bees or a whispered promise to your lover, the first bite is intimate... a pleasure you just may lose yourself in... And it's simply exhilarating.
Postino is a necessary part of the human experience. I feel that words cannot do this restaurant justice so my review will conclude shortly. Just know that should you ever walk through Postino's doors, you will feel the universe expanding in that initial bite. And don't forget to order a bottle of wine... Because bottled wine is bottled poetry. Bon appetit!
