Postino LoHi

Great patio, bruchetta and reasonably priced wines. Amazing happy hour spot as they have all wines for $ 5 before 5pm. Good people watching and a hip crowd. Service is good and I’m looking forward to going back a 3^rd time soon!

This place has an excellent happy hour with a nice choice of rotating wines. The bruschetta is a MUST try!

I was a bit disappointed with this restaurant. Came in on a sunday night, wanting pasta. However, they only had sandwich options and cheese board options for dinner. The ambiance is nice at this restaurant but wish that they had more options for dinner like pasta.

Wonderful bruschetta, great wine and beer selection, delicious variety of sandwiches and salads. I would recommend anything on the menu as our table had a variety of items and nothing was not extraordinary.
Tip: features $ 5 wines from 11 to 5
And beer specials as well before 5.

This restaurant is the very essence of the quirky-​cool vibe that defines LoHi. From the wall bricked with books to the (seemingly random) Star Wars wall art, this place had some colorful décor choices that left me scratching my head, but it just added to the charm.
The restaurant was thriving even on a Tuesday night, but not so busy that we couldn’t be seated right away – my kind of place. They had quite an extensive wine list, but being my predictable self I settled on a glass of rose to sip on during the evening.
Ordering the bruschetta was a no brainer. Come on, if you’re given the option of ordering a plate of bread with delicious random toppings on it, you have to go for it. My favorites were the summer seasonal bruschetta which had cauliflower and a sauce that tasted like magic as well as the ricotta with dates and pistachios. The Brie and apples with fig spread was also very good.
If that wasn’t enough, we also ordered all three desserts on the menu for the table to share. The sundae was notable simply for the inclusion of what we’re pretty sure was chocolate covered corn nuts. So addicting and so tasty.
I never thought I would have a go to bruschetta place, but it looks like Postino fits the bill.

I love it! This place is in a prime location and has the service and quality food to match! I went on a Monday night, and was one out of about 6 parties on the rooftop balcony seating area. The servers were extremely helpful and friendly. We just went for happy hour, and will definitely come back. It was a very relaxing atmosphere that was not too loud.
$ 5 draft beer pitchers and wine glasses. Great beer list on tap.

Loved this place in phoenix, love that it’s now in denver! Their bruschetta is a can’t miss as is their happy hour — $ 5 glasses of wine (any on the menu) and pitchers of beer. We will be back!

Excellent service.
Great selection of bruschettas and all four bruschettas that we ordered were great.
Their «Two combo» which is pick two of three choices: a half panini (many different paninis to choose from), small salad (also numerous to choose from), soup of the day were really good and fair priced ($ 10.50).
Desserts were wonderful.
Good selections of wines.
Negatives: too loud however that’s the only negative and when the weather cooperates there is plenty of seating outside.
Very nice experience overall.

Bruschetta and a bottle of wine… Great way to end a Monday. Books and bottles, bread and wine.
Try the salmon pesto it is incredible. This is a great place for small food. Don’t come super hungry… It’s light fare
My husband says there isn’t enough choice of foods but we love it.
Ambient atmosphere.

Simply a fun place for wine and light fare. Meet up to relax with friends or family. Food and beverage choices spot on for most tastes

There are two words you need to know about this excellent place: bruschetta platters! We went expecting traditional Italian, and were surprised that their menu features bruschetta and paninis so heavily. Well, that turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. We chose several bruschetta on our platter… the ingredients sound like Tuscany: prosciutto, ricotta, figs, tomatoes, herbs. All of them are done on a wonderfully crunchy-​soft textured bread that our waiter said was from Denver Bakery.
We didn’t get any wine, but saw dozens of people enjoying it by the glass. Their wine happy hour deal is $ 5/​glass before 5 PM… I’ll have to remember THAT one!
One note, the «pitcher» of beer is equal to exactly two pints, not four. Oh well, you can’t have it all. ;)

I went last Friday night with some girlfriends. We had about a 25 minute wait, but it was so worth it. We split a great bottle of wine and ordered bruschetta. I had some of the best bruschetta I’ve ever had. Because I’m gluten free, the waiter, Tyler, assured me the GF bread is good. AND it was! We tried their seasonal bruschetta with cauliflower, bruschetta and bacon, tomato and motz, artichoke and spinach (amazing), smoked salmon (a+) and the apple and Brie (our fav). I cannot wait to come back and try some of the other food!

Love Postino LoHi. You wanna talk price-​to-​value ratio? This place earns 5 stars. Portion sizes are HUGE on the panini sandwiches, and they’re like $ 10. Get here before 5PM and you can get yourself a 32oz craft beer for $ 5. That’s one heck of a deal in my book.
Beyond the food pricing and sizing, Postino’s also has a cool atmosphere to it. They play trendy music and have a really nice ambiance. Sit out on the patio and kick back. They heat lamps outside for when it’s cold out.
Postino LoHi is becoming one of my new frequent spots to visit.

When I first moved away from my home town, it was to the Phoenix area, which is where Postino hails from. I think they have (had) 3 – 4 locations in the Phoenix area and it was one of my go-​to spots. So naturally I was pretty pumped when I heard they were coming to Denver. It took me longer than I had hoped, but I finally was able to make it there this week.
Bottom line, you should go check out Postino. It’s in the LoHi neighborhood, which is one of my favorite places in Denver anyway, and I have to say that I like it even more than the original Phoenix locations.
We went on Monday night, a little later in the evening, and they were running a special «$ 20 Board & Bottle.» Now, for those that aren’t familiar with Postino, their specialty is Artisan Bruschetta. They have like 10 – 12 to choose from, so the «board» they speak of in their special is a board with 4 different types of Bruschetta and then a bottle of wine. I don’t think I have to tell you how good of a deal that is, so find out when they offer it and go cash in.
I love the Brie, Apple & Fig Bruschetta, it’s probably my favorite. A simple but great one is the Salami and Pesto, their classic Tomato, Basil and Fresh Mozzarella is awesome. I’ve had all of them, and while I like some more than others you really can’t go wrong.
Anyway, they are known for great deals on wine and good Bruschetta in Phoenix. They obviously brought the same idea to Denver, but the actual venue itself is better than any of the Phoenix locations. If you have a pulse, and you’re in the Denver area, you should go to Postino in LoHi.

I’ve been to the Postino in Phoenix so when I heard that they were opening a location in Denver, I was so excited! A group of us (about 20) came in for a birthday celebration and with a reservation, they were able to seat us all in the back room/​area! They’re specials are $ 5 glasses of wine until 5 pm and then on Monday’s and Tuesday’s, you can get a bottle of wine and a board of bruschetta (it’s a lot of bruschetta!) for $ 20! Needless to say, we got a good amount of that special. You can order 4 different kinds of bruschetta on your board so you’re not stuck with one variation. If you don’t finish your wine, they cork it for you!
The service was fantastic! Very patient and attentive which can be difficult sometimes with a larger group. The décor is very cool — books lining the walls, rustic wood lighting and great music. We’re already planning our next stop in!

After three visits to Postino in the last month or so, they’ve deemed themselves worthy of a Unilocal review.
Normally I’m much quicker to judge and do not require multiple visits before spouting off about a business, but like a fine wine, this one deserved some extra time to marinade.
What I love about Postino:
+ Bruschetta, especially the tomato jam and goat cheese
+ $ 5 glasses of wine before 5 pm
+ Friendly servers and bartenders
+ It’s a short walk from my humble abode in LoHi
Not my favorite, but not a deal breaker is the large groups of drunk, loud ladies that gather here for happy hour. I get it, Postino was designed for women. The menu of cheese plates, bruschetta, salads and paninis is catnip for those of us with estrogen. Throw in an affordable wine list and we come flocking.
And with the flocking comes squawking. Did these gals not learn the expression «inside voices» in elementary school? I’m glad that everyone is letting loose and enjoying the offerings, but that doesn’t mean the whole dining room needs to hear your personal business. Wine doesn’t make people quiet, that’s for sure.
If you are smart, you’ll arrive at Postino around 4 – 4:30 pm, take advantage of a glass of the $ 5 wine. Then stick around past happy hour to enjoy some romantic lighting and a much calmer atmosphere. Once the cheap drinks stop flowing, the rowdy bunch moves on.
Yes, I’m officially old.

My new favorite Happy Hour place and dare I say it? The best Happy Hour in Denver? Happy Hour every day until 5pm is a wonderful wonderful thing. $ 5 wines… any wine on their menu… and $ 5 pitchers of beer (the beer pitcher is smaller than a normal pitcher but still a killer deal)
Four of us got happily buzzed for $ 60. Service was great too. We sat on the outdoor patio, in the sunshine… enjoying great wines & beers. What more can you ask for on a beautiful Saturday?
Coming back here for sure to try the food next time since we focused 100% on drinking this time.

Postino has ruined happy hour for me. $ 5 pitchers of beer and $ 5 glasses of wine from open ’til 5pm. Every day, including Saturday /​Sunday brunch! I’m pretty much in love with this place right now; every food dish I saw come past me looked amaze-​balls, so get here and check it out (ideally before 5pm).
Went for brunch. Brunch was awesome. Pitchers are 32oz, so by my math that’s $ 2.50 a beer… and it’s not PBR. We shared a pitcher of Funkwerks Raspberry Provincial, which normally runs ~$ 7 for 12oz. If wine is more your style, they have a very nice, slightly quirky wine list.
For food, they have a full brunch menu until 1pm on Saturday /​Sunday, in addition to their regular menu. We went with ½ salad /​½ panini for $ 10. Puts Panera to shame… We also started with bruschetta… don’t skip that part. Our favorites were the prosciutto /​fig /​mascarpone and ricotta /​dates /​pistachios… I plan to go back and try them all. You may initially balk at $ 14 for bruschetta… but these are hearty, unique, and worth every penny.
On Mondays and Tuesdays, they take their bruschetta game a serious step further; any bottle of wine and a full board of bruschetta for only $ 20!

Postino is certainly a nice addition to the LoHi neighborhood.
The steal that will keep you coming back is $ 5 glasses of wine until 5pm. This is quite possibly the cheapest drink in Denver. This is not just on select wines, this deal applies to the entire wine list.
Postino has a large and inviting outdoor patio that can easily work for two tops as well as large groups. I could easily spend a sunny afternoon sipping wine on this patio.
Their wine list has a nice variety and has a little something for every palette. I enjoyed two glasses of white wine and was pleased with the recommendation from our server as well as the grassy Chardonnay I ordered.
Now for the hiccup:
I was not a huge fan of the Bruschetta ($ 14) like all the other Unilocalers have raved about. The problems start with the unnecessarily thick slices of bread, the bread is good quality bread however it’s sliced too thick and difficult to eat. The flavor combinations range from classic to more creative.
The tomato, mozzarella and basil combination was nice however it lacked flavor; I would have preferred heirloom tomato’s for added juiciness and a drizzle of good quality olive oil. The pesto and salami combination was lack luster at best, the salami was something I would buy at the supermarket pre-​sliced and pre-​packaged and took away from the nice tasting pesto. The ricotta, pistachio, and date combination was better than the first two. There needed to be more dates or the dates needed to be sliced smaller for even distribution and the same goes for the pistachios. It was fine, nothing I would order again.
The star of the Bruschetta plate is the white bean (purée) and marinated tomatoes. This one packed some much needed flavor, the tomatoes were marinated with garlic and other herbs which made this combination a winner. I would order this one four times, the other three were throw away in my opinion.
The concept is great and I certainly love the wine. The menu is limited in a good way and with a few modifications it could be craveable. My hope for Postino would be for them to take more time with developing flavor forward (marinating, cooking, pickling, etc…) combinations and not just putting two or three ingredients on top of a piece of bread and pretending it’s the best bruschetta ever, I’ve had better. I wish Postino the best and hope they can survive the booming Denver restaurant scene.

LoHi deck with wine!
He visited this place just 3 days after opening with a running friend. At that time, it was already buzzing. He was really into spending time on the deck, so he twisted my arm and forced me to go today. Their food tends to be light and appropriate for sharing a small group. Of course solo would be fine. All items are great with wine! As some reviewers have already mentioned, bruschetta board for $ 14 was awesome! You can choose 4 kinds from a variety. If you’re a solo lunch customer, pick any 2 from soup, salad, and panini for $ 10. Great service and excellent quality food, and nice deck entice us to come here again. Also, $ 5 till 5pm every day, wines by the glass & pitchers of beer is great deal! Surely we’ll come here again very soon!
