MMMMMM. I heard really good things about Postino, so I had to try it. It is definitely a MUST try if you are in Phoenix (they have another location called Postino Arcadia).
I arrived on a Wednesday night, and only valet parking was available. The servers/hosts inside were so nice and attentive. The restaurant was dimly lit; there were stringed lights in the outdoor seating area. The ambiance was nice and classy. Yelp says they are casual attire; it's like more classy attire. Try not to show up in shorts or flip flops..
Postino is a great place for wine and small plates. I can't say much about the wine, but the food was great. I tried the bruschetta. For $14, you can try 4 flavors. All of the flavors I tried were amazing; they were so PERFECT. I've never had such combination of flavors elsewhere, and I wish Postino would open up in southern California (it's only 4 hours away!).. my favorite was the Prosciutto with Figs and Mascarpone - salty but sweet at the same time! I also tried the Baker's Block. They serve it literally on a block with pieces of everything. It's like an appetizer sampler. It's good to try, but it wasn't the star of the evening.
Just thinking about it is making me salivate! I want to go back..
