| - Incredible. I love a good wine, my husband loves a good beer. This place provided both. It was a suggestion from an old friend who used to live in Scottsdale. We're from Tucson, here on a short weekend trip. Our visit to Postino was delightful. We were greeted promptly, seated quickly on a Thursday night after 8:00pm. Our host was quick with waters then he offered a couple of solid suggestions on appetizers and beer. He then gave us time to browse the menu. After ordering, our meal arrived quickly.
Here's what we ordered and here's why I crave this place long after we'd gone home:
We shared 4 options from the bruschetta board. Keep in mind you get to pick 4 types, and each comes with 4 slices in it. The bread is soft and flavorful. We chose: Fresh Mozzarella with Tomato & Basil (very fresh tasting!), Warm Artichoke Spread (I still dream about this), Burrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato (the bacon didn't add much flavor, but still good), and finally Roasted Peppers with Goat Cheese. That last one is the one I'd drive 120 miles just to taste again. These guys have this down to an art, and we appreciated it. My husband also ordered their Chicken & Mozzarella panini. The bread was fluffy and crispy at the same time. He said the sandwich was great and the flavors really worked well together.
The music made us laugh, 90s pop, the staff was dancing to it. The decor was fun (old wine labels). The food was a pleasure. We'll be back next time we're in town.
