Postino Village District

I really like Postino Raleigh—it’s a cozy and charming spot with a great atmosphere. My only suggestion would be regarding the menu. Almost all the salads contain some form of sugar, which made it a bit challenging for me since I’m on a no-carb diet. It would be great to have more options for those looking to avoid added sugars. Other than that, I enjoyed my visit!

We had a family group of six on a Saturday night during a holiday weekend. You would expect problems with seating or service. We had neither. Reservations are needed if you are planning to go on a high traffic period. We sat outside on their large patio. The wait staff was charming and so attentive. The food was not just good, it was fabulous. We ordered "snacky" things while we perused the menu. These appetizers are small plates or tapas sized so worked well for the table to share and try out. We selected Olives, Roasted Mushroom Fondue, Skewers, and a Bruschetta Board that comes with four selections (Brie Apple and Fig, Ricotta Dates and Pistachio, Chef's special Mexican Street Corn, Prosciutto Fig and Mascarpone) for our snacky things. Everyone from 14 - 73 years of age loved these and they were gone immediately. For our dinner we chose a variety of sandwiches (OMG grilled cheese, Caprese, Italian Beef Dip, Chicken & Mozzarella, Prosciutto & Brie) as well as the Chef's Charcuterie Board (individual or two person sized). The soups that we ordered were clearly created in house (French Onion and Tomato) and had the rich taste that complimented the sandwiches. Items did come out of the kitchen at different times since there was a different preparation time for the variety of items. This was not a problem because we had ordered the appetizers for the table and so everyone always had something to continue snacking. The wait time was not excessive and the waiter always kept us abreast of the order status and what we could expect to come out next. The manager stopped by a couple of times during the meal to ask how everything was going. Overall it was a lovely evening and one we will hope to repeat many times in the future.

They do a deal on certain nights where you get a whole bottle of wine and a bruschetta board for $25. The espresso martini was delicious! Went with some friends and we had lots of fun. It is a sit down place with a waitress, so don’t think lounge like hangout space.

Came on a Friday night, didn’t need to make a reservation although there were no reservation spots online, wasn’t too busy around 5ish. The interior of the restaurant was nice and well decorated, the outdoor seating was plentiful. They had $6 wine specials, although if there’s one that isn’t available anymore, they’ll tell you the sub wine but charge you full price for it, so be sure to ask. The food was good, we didn’t do the bruschetta board but saw it came with 4, the roasted cauliflower was huge, and the perfect app, the roast beef panini with the jus was perfect, I loved the melted Brie it came with! The chips that came out with it were cold and stale, but I didn’t let that take from the whole meal. I’d really give this place 4.5/5, def recommend and will come back

Reservation on a busy Weds night - got seated right away. “Pitcher” of craft beer for $6 was a hit, basically about two pints of beer. Wife’s brussels sprout salad was good, and my build your own bruschetta board was very tasty. Service was excellent.

We had a business/friends lunch for first time at Postino and it was great fun! The food was delicious and our waiter Nick was the perfect server! LOTS of outdoor seating and indoor along with a great bar area. Beautiful atmosphere!

Me and my partner came in looking for small plate vibes and a nice dinner. Stephanie took care of us and did an amazing job! We ordered wine which was delicious and an assortment of appetizers/main courses. Everything was delicious! From the shrimp scampi, to the crispy cauliflower, to the antipasto board we ordered and the spicy jam and goat cheese bruschetta. We had an amazing dinner and we cannot wait to come back !!!

Today was my wife’s birthday and we decided to try some place new. We googled a few restaurants and bars and this place stuck out so we decided to give it a shot and wow i am so glad we did. The minute we walked in it was smiles all around like we were regulars not to mention the aesthetic bith inooors and outdoors is gorgeous. The place was absolutely slammed but you couldnt tell because they didnt miss a beat. We were sat within probably 3 minutes of speaking with the hostess. And i dont think i was even fully seated when the waitress Kylie was came to greet us. She was so helpful with understanding the menu and super charismatic. We are not the type of people to make it known it is our birthdays at restaurants but amidst conversation with our waitress it came up that we were celebrating. We insisted that we didnt want anything special and that we were just enjoying our time. They were very respectful of that and before we left the manager Tsu came by the table to check on our experience and was also unbelievably welcoming and made us feel at home despite how busy it was. She even gave us a coupon for next time we come back (which we 100% will be). We shared the make-your-own bruschetta board which was absolutely outstanding and the wine was phenomenal. As a manager in the service industry I am utterly impressed by the hospitality and promptness of this establishment even on a packed Wednesday and we will 100% be returning as soon as possible. All in all great experience! If you havent been here yet- fix that!
