I have been to Postino several times and have always enjoyed it. Their different menus are always limited but provide adaquate choices of delicious food. It is in an old building so it is not state of the art but I love the atmosphere. They use fresh and local ingredients. It is definitely one of the best in the Bay... more

Food was mediocre. I'd rate it C or C-. Spinach salad was bland and slightly sour tasting. Veal was tasteless. Worst of all was a pervasive odor of what we think was bad plumbing. We had never been here before and would not go back. more

We happened upon this restaurant by searching for a dinner spot in Lafayette on the way to an SMC basketball game. We were pleasantly surprised...we called for reservations (5:30 pm when the restaurant opens). When we arrived, we found the town to be very charming and we were lucky to find metered parking on the curb. The restaurant had a... more

The building is beautiful, the service was good, but I have nothing else nice to say about this place. The food was just not worth the price. A pizza special sounded promising, and the roasted chicken pieces on it were tasty. But the crust tasted raw, the other toppings were greasy and flavorless. My salad was waay overdressed. The ravioli... more

Postino's is a fine restaurant with great atmosphere. Parking is not difficult and for $5.00 gratuity, your car can be parked ever so carefully by the polite and curtious valet at the front door. Entering the restaurant, one can feast the eyes on the great archetectural embelishments of old brick and open beamed ceilings. A cozy fire place is always... more

The only positive thing about Postino is its quaint setting. The food is greasy and tasteless, not to mention pricey. The wait was long not only to be seated, but also to receive menus and beverages. Everyone at our table ordered different menu items, but all of us found our food to be greasy and distasteful. We left our plates... more

I used to live in the East Bay several years ago. The predecessor restaurant was Tourelle and it was great. I returned to the area in May 2005 to find that Tourelle had been sold to owners of Postino. I was delighted to see that the food was still fabulous and the service typical California friendly. The only problem is... more
