Over the last couple of years I have made several visits to Postino, but never for lunch! My visits have always been at night for a glass of wine and a bruchestta, which is clearly what Postino is known for! This time I enjoyed their delicious Bruschetta over lunch with Gabi M. and Lindsey F. I am amazed at how busy this place always is, but not surprised. The service was friendly and timely and that seems to be the standard any time of day.
We started with an order of the bruschetta and we each ordered entree sized salads, which was plenty of food for the 3 of us. The bruschetta is the perfect starter because of the variety and size. I am not sure if they always do this, but they cut each piece into 3 pieces, making it super easy to share and get a taste of each one! We enjoyed the Burrata and Arugula, the Prosciutto Fig & Mascarpone, the Tomato Jam & Sheep's Milk and the Brie & Apple with Fig Spread bruschetta. All of them were heavenly.
I went with the Italian Picnic salad and it was divine! )field greens tossed with roasted beets, goat cheese, bacon and walnuts topped with crisped root vegetables in herb vinaigrette). Lindsey F. ordered the Mediterranean and Gabi M. had the mixed greens. Everything was lovely!
Postino seems to be a Phoenix classic and it definitely going on my list of Phoenix faves.
I look forward to returning to enjoy their patio over a glass of wine from their fabulous selection and a cheese board.
