| - I've had Postino bookmarked on Yelp for awhile now, but finally decided to give it a whirl -- or maybe swirl is more apropos -- about a month ago. It was the perfect location for a nice dinner with my mom on a Monday night. Apparently, this place is hoping most nights because when we got there it was packed with only valet parking. Now, I'm not opposed to valet parking, but I'm just not comfortable with it. I'm a native of Phoenix strip malls and massive parking structures. It takes some getting used to when I head downtown to tiny parking lots and have to give over my keys to some stranger (okay, that is more the control freak in me).
Anyway, after succumbing to the valet parking necessity, we made our way into a cozy and inviting atmosphere. We were quickly seated, even though it seemed rather busy (we must have come at the perfect time because after we were seated the place started getting really busy). I had a fantastic view of their wine offerings -- in fact, I was sitting right next to them. Unfortunately, I didn't partake of anything since I was the designated driver, but I did stare longingly at the rows of beautiful bottles.
I did, however, have a delicious meal. I order the Prosciutto with Brie Panini and the Mediterranean Salad, and I savored every morsel. It was truly fantastic, and I can only imagine how much better it would be with a glass of wine! This experience has certainly made me begin the countdown until my next visit. And, I'll look forward to sitting on their patio area when the temps cool down.
