Postino Wine Cafe Reviews

I don t remember coming here, but it s on my maps. I guess that tells you all you need to know about their wine lol

Never Disappoints! I ve been coming here since the city reopened and the vibe reminds me of NYC in the summer. The food is also really good and perfect for sharing. Good service combined with good food. Shout out to Tarvn, the manager, for helping us plan my friends bday there. Perfect place for a small get together.

Excellent food. Not a fan of team service though as it is hard to get attention of servers.

Great place for a date night. However, the service was pretty slow.

$5 pitcher till five and bruschetta are a perfect happy hour break

Music too loud. Asked for it to be lowered, but apparently the owners like it REALLY loud.

Great place to catch up with some friends or go on a date night. The servers are very friendly and take the time to explain the drinks and food options. We had a longer wait time than expected to be seated but the hostess offered us a free drink to compensate! Since this place is popular you can expect to wait a bit during peak hours, but the food, drinks, and overall experience is worth it. Pictured below is the bruschetta board

Excellent service, excellent wine, and food. We had a ladies night out and it was so much fun!

We are regulars here. They have a great happy hour deal on a 'pitcher' (2 beers) for $5 and really delicious sandwiches and pretty much everything on their menu is yummy and priced fairly. Had really great service today with the manager. We were very happy with our experience definitely will come back again soon. Thank you so much Postinos!

Great beer selection! The bruschetta is amazing and is filling enough to be a whole meal

Usually a wait but always worth it. Friendly staff. Awesome wines. Great vibe! Awesome brunch specials. Just go.

Trendy and fun wine bar with a selection of great bruschetta and seasonal flavors. They have a happy hour where wine and beer is only $5 until 5pm. This place is also dog friendly on the patio and had a welcoming atmosphere with sociable style. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a casual upscale spot in the heights. We will return.

Wine prices outside of happy hour are laughable, sub-par service, and a crowded environment. If you take food and wine seriously, this is not your spot.

Really good food and selection of local beers. Great venue too. Make sure you book in advance.

Everything about this place is amazing! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is perfect for any occasion!

Awesome place to have a glass of wine with small bites.

Was here for brunch on a weekend. They have a great wine listing and brunch menu!

Service is really good here. Everyone is very friendly.

Great cozy snug for delicious tapas in the heart of the Heights district # Htown

Awesome local hangout. $5 glasses of wine and pitchers of beer every day, from opening until 5pm. Four huge and amazing bruschetta (take your pick of like 10 or 12) for $15. Staff super knowledgeable about the wines. I will definitely be back!

So amazing! I could eat the brussel sprouts salad everyday!!!!

Loved the look of the place, their food and drink selection.

Great service, food and drinks. Walking distance from home

There was nowhere to park, so I was late to a meeting. The food was fair. It was too noisy to have a meeting. I won t be returning.

Love this place !!! Good food!!! And the staff is super friendly!!

So tasty! They have gluten free toast as well which I really appreciated. If I remember correctly I think they even prepared it in a separate area. Incredible flavors and combinations

Great service, food, and drink selection. Love the atmosphere here. Great for visiting with friends or a fun date night.

First time there and had a great time. The bartender welcomed us and explained the idea, since we were new. Great prices and food. I've been back since then.

Postino is a great spot to hangout and relax with friends. Always having wine specials and their shareable plates are all great. Everybody recommends their bruschetta plate because they are amazing. Definitely recommend the Barratt, bacon and tomato one. Great selection of wines and beers. Their staff is always very friendly and helpful. Go to the farmers market across the street and then a bite to eat here

I love this restaurant! The food here is great and they have a lot of options. This was my second visit to this location and I prefer this location over the first one because it is a lot bigger. Parking may be an issue for some because there s street parking and I didn t see a lot, but the time I went was mid day and it wasn t busy. The best special they have is a bottle of wine and a board of bruschetta for $25 every Monday and Tuesday after 8 PM.

Such a nice place. wine list is on point, Food is great, service is above average and the patio is chill. I like to go with my boyfriend once in a while, we always order a bottle of wine and some bruschetta.

I've eaten here dozens of times now - brunch mostly. The Morning Staple is my favorite on the menu: a perfectly sized breakfast. Paired with one of their $5 pitchers of beer or glass of wine, it makes a great lunch. The nine iron or a bruchetta board are also great choices. The place can get crowded on holidays or during rush, but isn't too loud, and I've never had a slow service.

Pretty cool
Need more drink options
No place to park, though

Postino WineCafe is OPEN and hiring Servers! I LOVE this place- if anyone need a job - Apply online on JobSparx.com Job ID#103711 - resume & contact info go direct to the hiring manager!

This is a go-to place for wine and small plates! Very modern.

First the food was very good. The Sunday brunch menu was limited. The place was crowded so parking was limited. We were seated quickly. Service was o.k.. BUT, the manager was quick to come to our table to answer a menu question and "make things right" even though we had a simple question (it was 'Should the fritters have a filling?'). I liked the ambiance and the food!

Took a vegetarian friend there for an early dinner. He was not impressed. We went to Max's Wine Dive afterwards

Food was delicious, love the ambience but the manager was very mean when we suggested that there was little bread in the butcher board and they brought us the check without asking for it. Not sure if we will try it again.

Get the bruschetta board! The top one with apples is the best!

Good food and beautiful interior! The quality of the food was amazing. Price point is a little higher than average. It gets a little busy at night but worth the wait!

Postino Heights is amazing!!! I went there with a group of friends right around 8 on Tuesday for their bruschetta/wine bottle special: a whole bottle of ANY wine as well as four bruschettas, for only $25! Several of my friends ordered their own, but I shared with a friend. It was AWESOME. We had the stagedive pinot noir, which was wonderful. I'm vegetarian and there are tons of veggie bruschettas. The fig/apple/brie, mozzarella/tomato/basil, spicy-sweet pepper and goat cheese, and warm artichoke spread are all DELICIOUS. The artichoke in particular is amazing. This is such an awesome deal. Also, they will give you a cork if you can't finish your whole bottle (which I imagine many people might not be able to). I will definitely be back!!!

Fun atmosphere and great food! Amazing wine selection and prices!

Seldom do I pause to air my compliments of a bartender in the form of a publicly available review but, Calvin s service and swagger warranted nothing less. From the moment I sat down I was attentively cared for and was provided with meaningful conversation and witty comments making my dinning experience phenomenal. Will be back soon for the same.

Great deal on Monday and Tuesdays after 8. Makes for a God date night!

I always love postino. The bruschetta board is absolutely the way to go, and they have a great deal on pitchers of beer for their happy hour. One of my favorite new(ish) restaurants in the heights.

The vegetarian panini is so good! The pub cheese board was yummy too! cool atmosphere.

Just visited Postino today around 1pm. This place is decorated really nice, a place to have lunch with friends and definitely a dinner date. They have a really great happy hour $5 dollar glasses of wine and $5 dollars for a 32oz pitcher of beer, that s enough to make me want to come everyday as it is. We ordered the bruschetta board with a great variety from artichoke, to salmon. The boards did not disappoint at all!! The reason for the 4 stars is our soup and sandwich combo was very pedestrian, no real flavor or anything special. Also the service was definitely friendly but the entire second half of our meal it was definitely non attentive and just absent for long periods. I have definitely seen the service piece mentioned in multiple reviews. This isn t dramatized, the last thing to make this place great is consistent service.

Decent wine, but overpriced. Food is great but the service is slow, scattered, chaotic and frantic. Definitely a place to be seen, rather than a place to enjoy.

On the one hand, Postino has a great menu and an excellent vibe. The BRUSCHETTA boards are amazing and give you a wide variety of tastes to pick and choose from. This is a great place for a casual first date or for a friendly getaway. The wine selection is also pretty good. The problem is the service. We had a wait person who simply seemed to want to avoid our table. She not only always looked the other way when passing our table but she actively avoided looking at us even when walking directly toward me. Not only did she not notice my waive, she didn't notice when I stood up and waived, and she even ignored me when I said "mam" when she was less then five feet away. It took a very loud "MAM" that the entire patio heard to attract her attention. My friend asked for a tea refill (the glass had been empty for quite a while) She said okay and was gone for quite a while. When she returned she had something for another table but no tea. At this point, my friend got up, went inside to the server station and poured his own. This of course got the attention of the manager and he got us a new server who did a decent job. however, in the confusion that followed multiple glasses of tea arrived at the table. Then, at the end of the meal, they tried to bill us for the extra tea. (I had water). all the tea, at that point, should have been free and it was after we complained about it. I often say that everyone makes mistakes, what is important is how you fix them. I get the feeling the manager tried but it seems the service team just isn't well trained and made multiple mistakes that day.

This place is amazing. The service is excellent. A waiter is not constantly checking in. You re told the concept: any waiter or waitress can assist. They are very hands off, but quite attentive to what you request. The cheese board and the wine selections are outstanding. There s no more affordable place for excellent food and drink during happy hour. Amazing experiences each time I ve walked in. On one occasion because the actual wait time exceed what we were told by 10 minutes the manager with no prompt from my party gave an appetizer on the House. Management clearly gets it. And management engages customers in conversation and want to make the experience pleasant!

I always know what to expect. Good service, menu is simple and straight forward. Happy hour is excellent but good luck getting a table. Bruchetta board is a great way to start with 4 different types of bruchetta per order. Wine selection is good to pair with whatever you eat!

Me neighbor invited to try this restaurant. He is the manager here and he mentioned all the specials they have here. Honestly, he was right, the atmosphere, the service, the food, the wine, everything was great. My friend is the manager and he is doing a great job. Thanks for your recommendation Nick.

Kinda loud. Food is good but the place looks fancier than it is.

I ordered a pannni with no meat and what did I get a sandwich full of chicken!

Recommended by locals and turned out to be amazing!

The butcher s block is amazing. Also ordered the farm scramble and it was just ok.

I usually love this place but today service was bad, chips were stale and my panini was just ok usually delicious

Great food both brunch and all day. Good to go before 5pm when it 5 before 5 for wine and beer.

Had an amazing waitress outside and had fantastic drink specials and the food is wonderful!!!! Being able to get an bunch of vegetarian options is wonderful! My favorite was the bruschetta and you get to choose 4 different options. Me and my friends come here alot and we love it!

New post for Healthy Eats on Houston Streets and this week I'm obsessing over @postinowinecafe's eclectic collection of bruschetta.
-
Made with locally sourced produced, these fresh bites are offered in a delicious array of spreads in combinations of meats, cheeses, and fruits atop slabs of chewy sourdough bread.

Postino shines on the corner of The Heights mercantile center and is a fantastic spot for brunch on a nice day. I'm especially excited for this since up until now, I've had to drive all the way to my favorite restaurant, The Grove on Bee Cave Road just outside of Austin, to indulge in my favorite antipasti. Similar to Postino, The Grove proudly offers over 10 different combinations of bruschetta. Check out the extensive list Postino offers below!
-
CHOOSE 4 BRUSCHETTA OPTIONS FOR $15:
- Brie and apples with fig spread
- Fresh mozzarella with tomato and basil
- Prosciutto with figs and mascarpone
- Warm artichoke spread
- Smoked salmon with pesto
- Sweet and spicy pepper jam with goat cheese
- Burrata, bacon, arugula and tomato
- Ricotta with dates and pistachio
- Almond hummus with chopped tomato
- Roasted peppers with goat cheese
- Salami with pesto

Great little place for brunch or happy hour in the Heights and there s a good amount of parking nearby

Today was my first day there and I will say my experience was amazing! Jessica the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu the recommendations were amazing. I will definitely be returning many more times. Jessicas customer service was exceptional!

Great vibe & good food. Icing on the cake was that the weather was on point.

Early Father's Day treat with my husband Everyone very polite and helpful. Food AMAZING. Definitely coming back. Thumbs-up to the Chefs

Was at Il Postino on Friday 11/15/19. I am finally convinced that owners write their own reviews or the people of Houston have no clue about food.
First it is not a restaurant. They serve open ciabatta cut in small pieces with cheap cold cuts and olive oil and called it a menu. And expect to pay $100 minimum for a couple of these clueless junk. I am convinced the chef is 8 years old the most.. my suggestion: change the name to IL IMPOSTERS. Question for the artisan of this gem, Have you ever been to Italy ot just to a good restaurant in NY little Italy?

Great food, nice atmosphere and decent wine selection.

Amazing food and wine selections for bites to share or for alone! Great pricing, friendly and helpful staff and comfortable seatings. Would recommend for anyone looking for a small bite or with a big appetite!
