Postino Park Place

This place is incredible! Love the ambience, service and food! Great place for lunch or dinner. Upscale warm and cozy decor with comfortable booth seating. Lots of wine and drinks (full bar). They have "bruschetta board & wine specials" every Monday & Tuesday evening for only $25!!! What a great deal! Can't beat that.

Postino provides the ultimate hipster bar experience. The interior is decorated with 90's style boomboxes covering one wall and colorful glass pendant lights hanging throughout.

The bruschetta board is their go-to menu item and a can't miss. With various combinations ranging from savory (bacon/tomato/cheese) to sweet (figs/brie/jam), you'll enjoy a fun eating experience that you'll want to do with a group. The bruschettas with tomato were particularly juicy and delicious.

Memorable appetizers include a golden roasted cauliflower head, moist baby meatballs with pockets of gooey goat cheese, and crispy maitake mushrooms with smoky notes and a citrusy yogurt (lebni) accompaniment.

Their paninis and salads are decent as well, but the best bang for your buck can be found at their late night happy hour during weekdays from 8pm and after: a four-piece bruschetta board and bottle of wine for $25.

Service is definitely hit or miss. With communal service, you don't have a single person attending to you. During my first visit, one server was extremely attentive (visiting our table every ~10 minutes). On my second visit, we waited 45 minutes for our check after finishing our food and were pretty antsy by the end of our 3-hour service for a party of 2. If you're in a rush, avoid busy dinner services and weekend dining here.

With good food and a fun vibe, Postino Park Place makes a great addition to this Irvine business district.

@postinowinecafe hit the spot last night. Super chill atmosphere with yummy food and good service.

I had to try the bruschetta board! There were so many great options it was too hard to narrow it down to 4, so I got 5.

I had the prosciutto di parma, fig & mascarpone, warm artichoke spread, smoked salmon & pesto, sweet n’ spicy pepper jam & goat cheese, and burrata, bacon, arugula & tomato. I honestly cannot say which one was my favorite. They were all great! The articoke spread was probably the only one that didn't stand out. It was good...warm and flavorful, but probably a little outshined by the others.

The food was good, the vibe was on point and my server was awesome. I'm glad I stopped here before my 3 hour drive home. It was just what I needed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food and wonderful staff. They opened the patio for us so we could eat with our dogs. We had an excellent waitress, Sophia, who made our experience even better. It’s so hard to find delicious, yet healthy food. This place crushed it. Will be back!

I love Postinos. I have been to a few locations in Arizona and one in Dallas. This is the first one in California and closest to my house. I took my mom and some teacher friends on break to the new one in Irvine which is about 55 mi from my house. Everyone had a great time, the food was fantastic, the service was awesome, and everyone was friendly.

The decor of every location never disappoints. Really eclectic and interesting stuff from the light fixtures to the crazy cool bathroom.

I screwed up my photos and didn't get a good picture of the boards we ordered today. But we did discuss our favorites. Many loved the prosciutto big and mascarpone. Many also loved the ricotta dates and pistachios. The seasonal was delicious and all of the regulars were fantastic. We ordered the soup at the moment which was cauliflower and super delicious. We also each had some wine from the $6 before 5:00 p.m. special. You can't go wrong there. We also ordered Nick's board that had pimento cheese nuts pickles sausage sweetie peppers and the most soft and delicious pretzel with killer mustard. It was so good we had to order another pretzel to finish our pimento cheese.

The staff was awesome and brought us over complimentary chocolate lava cake with ice cream and a creme brulee. Both were also incredible.

Everyone had an awesome time and enjoyed all of the food. Highly recommend this place to everyone.
