Postino Bryker Woods

We came in on a Friday night and it was buzzing. The restaurant ambiance was fantastic and I really appreciated how warm and inviting the space is. I had made a reservation and I realized I had gotten the time mixed up but the team was super accomodating. The host seated us as soon as we arrived. The wine options were plentiful and they even had 6 non alcoholic options which was great for me! I love their bruschetta boards event at south Lamar and the quality here is also super strong (fave was the fresh mozzarella or the Mexican street corn) and even though it took around 45 min for the board it was solid. Loved this space and would come back again for the wine and food!

A great spot for quick bites. ADA wheelchair accessible...fresh menu...obessed with the potato/leek soup...(please keep this on the menu) Very clean, upscale and friendly staff. You don't need a reservation but you should get one. Great for a girls night out or a romantic date...

Absolutely adore this place. Gluten allergy princess here & Mondays are my special go to at least monthly. GF bruschetta & a bottle of wine to share or sip on and cap to go 🍷 service is outstanding & attentive!

I have been to the S. Lamar location a couple times but this was my first time at Bryker; while both locations are lovely I appreciate the free parking lot at Bryker! I arrived around 1:30 and while there were a good number of people in the restaurant it wasn't too crowded and the vibe was chill and conversations were low key; it made for a relaxing late lunch! I sat down at the bar and the lovely bartender Kira helped me out, assisting me in picking a wine I'd like and offering me a taste before I decided. For my bruschetta I ordered the smoked salmon and pesto (super tasty, the salmon had a nice smokey flavor and I loved the capers on top), the mushroom and mascarpone (I've had this at the other location and it was just as tasty- definitely a fav), the burrata bacon arugla and tomato (good, fresh, wish there was a tad more burrata but a solid choice), and per another diners suggestion I tried the french onion (this may jump to the top of my list above the mushroom- the whole bite is creamy, rich, and smoky, just amazing!). While the Bryker Woods location is a bit far away from me, based on this experience I'd love to return!

Last night, I dined at Postino’s new North Austin location, and it felt like a slice of heaven on their stunning patio! From the moment I discovered their vibrant Instagram and beautifully curated website, I knew this place was crafted with intention and love. Their Social Club vibe screams community bestie, and I was thrilled to snag a reservation for their second day open! Walking in (15 minutes late, oops!), I was greeted by warm, smiling faces and a chivalrous door-opening. Chivalry is indeed not dead ☺️ The ambiance, both inside and on the patio, is chic yet cozy, impeccably clean, and feels like a home filled with love. Every detail, from the decor to the staff’s energy, radiates care and appreciation. Our server, Tobius, delivered the best service I’ve experienced in Austin. Alongside Jordan, they were knowledgeable, funny, patient, and made me feel so valued, even as a curious foodie with endless questions. Their recommendations were spot-on, especially for the Monday/Tuesday night special: a bottle of wine and four bruschetta boards after 8 PM. Bonus: Happy hour until 5pm EVERYDAY. I savored the Sweet N’ Spicy Pepper Jam & Goat Cheese (Tobius, you’re a genius!), Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato & Basil, Brie, Apple & Fig Spread, and Burrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato. Each bite was a flavor explosion, with the pepper jam stealing my heart. As a budding wine enthusiast, I opted for two bottles of the 2024 Hi Rise Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, which was crisp, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with vibrant citrus and herbaceous notes! Bonus: they corked my unfinished bottle to take home, alongside two boxes of leftovers. I left with a full belly, a happy heart, and a new favorite Austin memory. Having worked in hospitality, I know openings can be nerve-racking, but Tobius, Jordan, and the team made it look effortless. Postino’s attention to detail, from the spotless space to the exceptional service and divine food, is unmatched. I could list 20 more reasons to visit, but you need to experience this gem for yourself. Trust me, you’ll leave grinning with leftovers in hand! Thank you, Postino, for an unforgettable night. I’m already counting down to my next visit ♥️

The menu was so full of items we love!! We had to try several things and they were all fantastic. We started with the Olives and a Crispy Cauliflower, which had the most delicious Romesco sauce. So well balanced-kissed with sultana raisins and capers. Likely the BEST snacks items we’ve ever eaten! My dining partner chose Nick’s Board-NICK'S BOARD includes a warm soft pretzel, italian sausage, spanish pork link, creamy pimento cheese, spicy peruvian corn nut, sweety drop pepper, & packo pickle. It was a fairly conservative choice but ended up being the perfect choice for someone’s palate that prefers non spicy food! (however I must warn you the two pickle slices that were absolutely fabulous and had a heat level of about nine out of 10 were delicious as well)! Our host Michael, our server Ellie and the bartender Kira were all so special , & sweet and gave us incredibly good service. It was so nice to see such a variety of people all having a great time and enjoying themselves. Postino is definitely a solid addition to the eclectic variety of restaurants available in Austin. Thank you Postino for such a wonderful experience! I’ll definitely be back .

We stopped by Postino for some bruschetta and nonalcoholic drinks, and it was such a great experience! The variety they offer is impressive, especially with their vegetarian-friendly options. Each bruschetta had its own unique flavor — the artichoke spread was delicious, the French onion was rich and flavorful, and the classic mozzarella with tomato and basil was perfectly fresh. I especially loved the fig spread and apple butter combination — so unique and tasty! Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and fun to share. We’ll definitely be coming back again to try more.

Came here with reservation and seated at the round table with very cozy chair. Love! Came here with my son. This is the third Postino review for Yelp event I did! But this Postino has that classier cozier feel. We had the bruschetta board: choices---prosciutto, fig and mascarpione, smoked salmon with pesto, burrata, bacon arugula and tomato, fresh mozzarella with tomato and basil. Had the novia azul wine-smooth yet strong. We also ordered the smoked salmon board because this is one of my faves in Postino. Shout out to Matt as he was very pleasant---checked on us regularly. His service really made us feel at home! The notes you can write and stick on the wall was a nice touch. Clean restrooms with that almost Tuscan feel handwashing area. The lighting, food, wine and the service was superb. A little bit crowded---but not loud. Parking was not easy at peak times I gathered. Highly recommended:)

We’re longtime Postino fans from when we first discovered them randomly in Arizona and have also popped into their South Lamar location in Austin. It's been super fun seeing them expand and try out all their locations across the states, so when they opened their new Bryker spot! And wow — they nailed it! The space is so cute and chic which is their typical theme across all locations. Its the perfect place for happy hour (which, btw, is still one of the best drink specials in town!). $6 glasses of wine and $6 Mini pitchers (basically 2 beers) everyday until 5pm! Our server Matt especially deserves a shoutout. EASILY one of THE BEST servers we’ve had — SUPER knowledgeable about the wine list, didn’t skip a beat when the wine I wanted was out, and even brought a couple of samples so I could pick a replacement I’d actually enjoy. That’s next-level service. We wanted to try some new bruschetta's we hadn't yet (outside of their salmon cause that one is straight a need in your life if you love pesto and cold smoked salmon) board we chose was: Mushroom Mascarpone (Man oh man, creamy earthy delicious!) French Onion (Holy crap this dropped our jaw) Elotes (good, but the hot sauce kinda took over) Salmon Pesto (A favorite because it's so fresh and balanced) Outside of the Elotes being a little too hot sauce forward, every single bite was phenomenal! The bread was so fluffy, all the flavors popped and were dangerously easy to chow down on! We had been eyeballing the OMG grilled cheese for a while now and finally decided to pull the trigger with a little modification. Matt recommended adding a chicken skewer inside cause he knew we were into all the protein and was a go to item for him. Adding the skewer made it more of a chicken sandwich then it feeling like a grilled cheese, but regardless it was super tasty, especially dunking it into the thick creamy tomato soup, so yes, the name fits. Overall: delicious food, great ambiance and place to socialize over fun snacks, some heartier plates, incredible wine options and of course an unbeatable happy hour, not to forget the standout service. We’d 1000% go back again.

Anthony, the waiter, is super friendly and creates a great atmosphere. They can get quite busy, but the parking is good. Bernie, the manager, is also really great. Honestly, I love Bernie’s energy from when I walked in the door because he called me Friend! Overall, it’s a place with good vibes and great people. It’s not my first go at Postino‘s but I definitely like to try different things on my board and again I was not disappointed. I also actually tried the potato and leek soup and now I’m a fan. I am already planning my office lunch there. Also, who has a problem with happy hour from 11 AM to 5 PM? Count me in!

Aeja Pellot-Valentin

Postino is an amazing addition to Bryker Woods! Centrally located with a great atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot for wine, small bites, or a night out with friends. The food and wine selections are fantastic, and the vibe is both stylish and welcoming. Huge shoutout to Madeline for her outstanding service and to GM Bernie for making sure everything ran smoothly. The entire staff was friendly and attentive—truly an amazing team all around. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Suzy Day

We were able to swing by during their Happy Hour and sample the bruschetta board, cauliflower, and a few glasses of wine. The board was large enough and toasts were cut for sharing - we selected the artichoke, brie, mushroom, and pistachio - and they were all delish. As veg-forward folks we enjoyed the cauliflower too - the sauce was buffalo-leaning but creamier! And we had to try the donut dots - it wasn't anything too wild but was a fun treat at the end of our meal - piping hot donuts. The team works in groups and we always had someone stopping by to check on us. They were so kind about helping with a wine selection, too. We will be back. Tips: *plenty of parking *$25 bottle of wine + board Mondays and Tuesdays after 8pm *You can make a reservation. It wasn't too full at Happy Hour before 5, but was pretty full even on a Monday after 5pm

Carolyn Ramirez

Postino’s is such a gem in Bryker Woods! Centrally located and the perfect spot to unwind with friends. The vibes are warm and welcoming, the food is delicious, and the wine selection is incredible. The service made the night even better—Madeline took amazing care of us and made the whole experience feel special. Definitely a must-go wine bar in Austin!

Celine Sanchez

Loved this place! Stumbled across it just looking for a new lunch spot and I’m so glad we did. Food was delicious! Make sure you try the bruschetta taster- all the flavors we picked were delicious! (Salmon, prosciutto, artichoke, and French onion). The staff was so friendly and the service was quick. Will definitely be back for HH again.

Kelly Taliaferro

Enjoyed the cushioned swivel chair with seating for four. Yelp Elites are trying out this location for bruschetta and wine. Our server Janna was outstanding. She brought me a few tasters of the wine. The chardonnay on the reserve list was a little tart, but not lemon forward. It had a slight buttery taste and no oak. The Pinot noir was light and slightly fruity. I opted for the cab sauv. It was dry, flavorful, and slightly bitter. The gluten free bruschetta was delicious. A thick, crunchy bread. They had plenty of options for gf and df allergies. One person got the Table Cheese board and enjoyed it. Parking was easy here with a parking lot in front of the restaurant. You could go very casual or dressy at this location. The seating varies. Decor is fun and 70’s, somewhat luxe.

Did a trial run here on the news that a location is opening in Westlake soon. Bryker Woods set the bar high, both in service and selection. Madeline took exceptional care of us and it's obvious that the waitstaff is ready to both serve from the kitchen and stay on top of empty plates and glasses. The bruschetta was a great way to pair varied flavors with our wine, and I look forward to another chance to explore the menu.

Kay E. Garza

Wonderful spot to drink wine and unwind. The best happy hour prices with $6.00 a glass. Very spacious with nice modern decor and parking. Had wonderful service too. We will be back!

Brooke Painter

This place is so charming with delicious food! I came here for a date night with my boyfriend and we had the best service from our server, Emilee. The hostesses were also very kind and even opened the door for us. They’re known for their amazing charcuterie boards, which are a must-try, but the grilled cheese with tomato dip was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. We’ll definitely be coming back often!

We come to Austin regularly and stay with friends who live in Brykerwoods. It's always been a great neighborhood made better now by having Postino on the corner of 35th and Jefferson. Great food selections, great service, and great ambience. The lighting and sound absorption in the restaurant here allows for easily heard conversations at your table! Plus, it has a great bar with not just wine and beer. What a great addition to the neighborhood that replaced an awful empty lot. Our server was Janna and she was wonderful. I sure hope it has a long successful journey! Please support.

I knew this was going to be a very welcomed addition to the neighborhood. The food is great and the happy hour is even better! $6 glasses of wine? Sign me up. On top of that, the staff is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, it has become one of my favorite places to unwind. Great little patio out back, huge garage type doors to open up front when the weather is nice… great for groups and solo hangs, I love to cozy up with a book at the bar or in the comfy low top tables. I also love how accommodating they are if you want to customize the food options in so many ways to get exactly what you want. Do not sleep on this one, you’ll regret not stopping by sooner.

We stopped in for a weekday Happy Hour and had a wonderful experience. The food was fantastic. We had meatballs, mushroom fondue , and the salmon board. Small pitchers of beer are $6. I had a fantastic non -alcoholic rose that was fantastic. Our bartender Andrew was very friendly and made us feel right at home. We most certainly will be back soon. The vibe is really fun. There is an outdoor seating area when the weather cools down a bit. Plenty of parking too !

Let's see: Postino is what you'd expect from the current wave of "social dining" spots: it's airy, industrial but cozy, with a patio for when Texas weather decides to be cooperative. The wine list isn't mind-blowing, but the Antioch Red Zinfandel stole the show for me. It's fruit-forward and honestly the only red I'd go back for when dealing with "by the glass" options on the menu. Onto the bruschetta board: my options were (you get four) the artichoke, the Caprese , the date & pistachio with ricotta, and the mushroom with mascarpone. Flavor? Super solid. Everything you would expect from the combinations of flavors they put together. The caprese one could have used a balsamic drizzle or something, but I enjoyed my selections. The presentation, though? Tame. A little boring. And I'm used to sliced ciabatta for bruschetta, but the sort of rustic country bread slices they use are hearty and they hold up nicely to the toppings. Just know each slice of toast is very petite... then it's cut even smaller for sharing. Translation: don't come starving. Come to socialize and be cute. What I paid for: the potato leek soup was divine. It was creamy and savory with a lovely hit of caramelized onions. The hazelnut/peanut mousse bar was cute. It's made for more "solo indulgence" than for sharing because it is SO so small...which sucks cause it could be a good sexy sharable dessert for date nights but that size won't cut it Crushed hazelnuts on top would have also been nice. Parking? Slimmer than Kendall Jenner. Get creative and find spots adjacent or around the area during busy hours. They have quite a few spots to offer the public but this place is way too popular for the limited number of spaces. Happy Hour: this ends at 5:00 pm sharp. BOOOOOOO!!!! You know most of us get off at 5pm, right? Don’t do that. People need at least an hour or two of extension time before dinner. Cmon. Be nice and extend happy hour. You’re only going to make MORE MONEY with it. Shoutout to Madeline, my server. She was attentive, warm, and on point. And kudos to the sweet host with the long curly chestnut hair. Both made the night even better. Overall, Postino is a good option for late-night light bites, date nights, or a casual glass of wine and catching up with friends and S/Os.

First time visiting Postino and we were excited to try this cool trendy new neighborhood hangout! Unfortunately our experience was so bad that we would not repeat. From the beginning upon entering there was no one at the hostess stand but we did see two associates with their back turned to us at the bar having what seemed to be some sort of conference. After a couple of minutes they turned around and greeted us warmly. OK, that's fine not a turn off However from that point on we did not feel welcomed nor enjoyed our experience. We ran into one of our friends who was having lunch and so we happily joined them at their table. The waiter didn't notice or just didn't come over for awhile and when he did come over his approach was lackidaisical about having us join our friend. We ordered only water and a tea and never saw our drinks nor our waiter for at least 10 minutes. At that point we did finally get our drinks and placed an order for food. Our food arrived and one of the salads we ordered was not what we had asked for, it was fine, not the end of the world. We had the chicken crunchy salad and the Brussel sprout salad (the wrong order), along with the daily soup and a salmon charcutterie board. NONE of it was exciting nor flavorful. All of the food tasted like just something you could get at the HEB prepared food counter and we never saw a server for at least another 30 minutes. There were no water or tea refills offered and when it came time to check out we had to track someone down. A new server came to check us out and that experience only solidified our less than dining experience, her personality came across as if we were an inconvenience or maybe it was condeceending Don't have a clue what this place is like when it is busy, maybe they got slammed for lunch, we did arrive around 130p. Still it has been a long time since I've had a full fail at a restaurant.
