| - Hands down, Postino (and this location in particular) is my favorite restaurant in the Scottsdale and greater Phoenix area! The open-air location is GORGEOUS, the service is impeccable, and the happy hour is amazing ($5 pitchers of craft beer and glasses of wine until 5PM)!!
And I haven't even gotten to the bruschetta yet!! Before Postino, I used to think that bruschetta had to be watery tomato spread on uninspiring pieces of hard toast. I was SO WRONG. The bruschetta board here serves up HUGE, FLUFFY pieces of bread topped with fresh ingredients. My personal favorites are the Brie & Apples with Fig Spread, Prosciutto with Figs & Mascarpone, and the Warm Artichoke Spread.
The craziest thing to me is that every time my good friend Megan T. and I have stopped by on a weekend, there's been NO WAIT. If this place existed in San Francisco, I guarantee you'd need to wait AT LEAST an hour. Arizona, please get your sh*t together and give this place the recognition it deserves!
Now that I'm moved out of Arizona, my heart breaks knowing that I won't know the next time I'll be able to come back. Postino, you have a guaranteed customer in me if you ever make a move to California :)
