About

About Postino Wine Cafe

Postino Wine Cafe was founded in Phoenix, Arizona, and opened its first location in the historic Arcadia neighborhood in 2001. The concept was built around a simple but powerful idea: great wine should be accessible, affordable, and paired with unpretentious, shareable food in a warm, neighborhood setting. Co-founders Craig DeMarco and Lauren Bailey transformed what had been a post office building into one of Phoenix's most beloved dining destinations — a fact reflected in the brand's name ("postino" is Italian for "postman").

Over the following two decades, Postino expanded across Arizona and into Texas, Colorado, Georgia, and other states, while maintaining its core identity as a neighborhood gathering place. The menu remained anchored to the build-your-own bruschetta board — guests choose four toppings from a rotating selection of seasonal and classic combinations — alongside an approachable wine list featuring bottles and glasses priced for everyday enjoyment. Bottle Club memberships, starting at $20 per month, became a popular way for regulars to access wines at preferred pricing.

Beyond wine and bruschetta, the menu evolved to include shareable snacky things, hearty boards (charcuterie, cheese, pub-style), satisfying paninis served with choice of sides, fresh salads, and indulgent desserts like the signature Olive Oil Cake and Hot Donut Dots. Postino also popularized an extended happy hour model — offering $5 wine and $5 bruschetta boards during off-peak hours — a value proposition that built intense customer loyalty and made the brand a template for the modern accessible wine bar concept in the U.S.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Postino Wine Cafe known for?

Postino Wine Cafe is best known for its signature build-your-own bruschetta board, where guests choose four toppings from a seasonal rotating list that includes combinations like Brie & Apple, Prosciutto & Fig, Burrata & Bacon, Smoked Salmon & Pesto, and more. Paired with its approachable wine list, the bruschetta board is the cornerstone of the Postino experience at every location.

How much does the bruschetta board cost at Postino?

The build-your-own bruschetta board is priced at $17.75 and includes your choice of four toppings. You can upgrade to gluten-free bread for an additional $2. The board is designed to be shared and is one of the best-value items on the menu given the portion size and variety.

Does Postino have a happy hour?

Yes — Postino is well-known for its happy hour deals, which have historically included $5 wine and $5 bruschetta boards during off-peak hours. Exact happy hour times and specials vary by location and are subject to change, so check with your local Postino or visit postino.com for the most current details.

What is the Postino Bottle Club?

The Postino Bottle Club is a membership program starting at $20 per month. Members receive benefits including wines at preferred pricing, the ability to drink wine at the restaurant or take it home, extra happy hour perks, and an exclusive member tote bag. Ask your server or visit the official site to sign up.

Does Postino have vegetarian or vegan options?

Yes — Postino offers several vegetarian-friendly items including the Caprese Panini, Mixed Greens Salad, Crispy Cauliflower, Sweet Potato Wedges, Herbed French Fries, Olives, Greek Hummus Board, Table Cheese Board, and most desserts. The Herbed French Fries and Olives are also vegan-friendly. Always confirm with your server, as preparations may vary by location.

What paninis does Postino serve?

Postino's panini lineup includes the Chicken & Mozzarella, West Coaster (smoked ham & avocado), Tuscan Tuna, Italian Beef Dip (with au jus), Caprese, Prosciutto & Brie, and the Nine Iron (smoked bacon, chicken & stracciatella). Paninis come with your choice of bread (ciabatta, focaccia, or gluten-free +$2.50) and a side (herbed fries, soup, potato chips, or romaine salad). The Select Two option lets you pair a half panini with a half salad or cup of soup for $16.75.

Are there gluten-free options at Postino?

Postino offers gluten-free bread as an add-on to any bruschetta board or panini (+$2 or +$2.50 depending on item). Note that Postino's gluten-free bread is made in a gluten-free facility, but the kitchen itself is not gluten-free and cross-contact with gluten-containing ingredients is possible. Several other items such as the Olives, Herbed Fries, and most salads (without croutons) are naturally gluten-light. Always discuss your allergy needs with your server.

How many Postino locations are there?

Postino Wine Cafe has expanded from its original Phoenix, Arizona location (opened 2001) to multiple locations across the Southwest and Southeast United States, including additional Arizona locations, Texas, Colorado, and Georgia.
