Yep, our south Tempe neighborhood has a new destination for wine and bruschetta. On Sept. 14th, Phoenix-based Upward Projects opened a seventh Valley location of Postino, the company’s popular wine bar and restaurant.
In addition to offering the restaurant’s well-loved menu of sandwiches, salads and bruschetta boards, fans can expect the newest Postino to offer an “enhanced to-go experience,” which includes online ordering and contactless payment, according to a press release.
“Particularly, during a time when many of us aren’t venturing far or socializing as often, Postino South Tempe will be a safe and joyful place for the community to takeout or socially distance dine-in,” said Upward Project CEO Lauren Bailey in the release.
What to expect at Postino in south Tempe
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the new restaurant and wine bar has options for customers who want to practice social distancing.
Those options include online ordering for both pickup and delivery via the restaurant’s website, contactless mobile payment, designated curbside parking spots and “steel fabricated way-finding signage to guide guests seamlessly through the pick-up experience,” according to a release.
The restaurant’s decor will include midcentury modern touches and repurposed items, including a 1960s cigarette machine once used in the TV show “Mad Men” that has been turned into a hostess stand. Other touches include a custom art wall featuring vintage skateboard ads, rare Tempe concert posters that will be hidden in plain sight on the bathroom ceilings and photo sources from beloved Valley skate shop Sidewalk Surfer.
There’s No S In Postino:
Have you ever noticed how many people call it “Postinos” instead of Postino? Maybe it’s just me. But, I digress… 🙂
As at the other Postino locations, the space offers large roll-away window walls to create an indoor-outdoor layout.
The restaurant is open for takeout and dine-in for lunch and dinner. Popular promotions include $5 glasses of wine and pitchers of beer every day before 5 p.m. as well as their $25 Bottle & Board on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Brunch is served from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturday and Sundays.
This restaurant is most certainly a great fit for our area.
