Postino

Postino's is easily my favorite restaurant in the Lamorinda area. The food is excellent and the servers and bar staff friendly and welcoming.

We went to Postino last night, We called in our reservation and let them know there was two birthdays in our party, there was no acknowledgment of the birthdays what so ever, the Caesar was the best of course, we really like the tuscan style. Know as for the service, the bar was very slow getting cocktails out, about 15 mins to get our cocktails,one of the Martinis was extremely salty,the server forgot the beer and the soda , we had to ask for them after a short period of time,the entrees were good, really enjoyed the short ribs, as for the dessert they brought out the wrong flavor sorbet, it took a few mins to correct that, and when they brought out the correct flavor, it was way to sweet, tasted like a whole lot of sugar, the dessert menu needs improving, to me it seemed that the server could not handle the tables she had and maybe management should look at that, cause its a shame when you spend a lot of money and get so -so service, i expect top service when i pay top dollar.

We went here for our anniversary. The place had nice ambiance...romantic. Every part of our food was delicious. I wish I could eat there every day. I had the special! Just be prepared to pay the high cost for the delicious food.

We were there for my birthday and I have to say it could have been wonderful, if it wasn't for the gnats or fruit flys lingering around around table. The food is good and the bread is yummy. I loved the caesar salad. Served so you can eat with your fingers. Someone in my party ordered the soup which was very good, but very little amount. The bowl is deceiving. The food is good, so was the dessert I had (peanut butter chocolate pie) The wait-staff is good, not the best. For the money I wasn't planning on sharing my meal with the flying pests.

I organized my wife's 30th birthday party at Postino Restaurant. It went beautifully from start to finish. The restaurant has several room options, the availability to have a reception with cocktails and appetizers on the lawn area, and a prix fixe menu that still allows guests to choose a wide variety of entrees. There was no problem in bringing in a cake. The staff was easy to deal with and very helpful, including selecting wine pairings. The night of the party was relaxed while the waiters, led by a designated chief waiter, were attentive to all my needs.
