“ I had a client meeting with my boss in town from Los Angeles and Jax, our server was FANTASTIC! Aside from the impeccable service, Jax was funny and held his own with our playful banter like a BOSS! I've loved Postinos because... POSTINOS am-i-right?! But now... JAX just elevated the experience and I will only eat at the Tempe Annex location moving forward. YOU DO GOOD WORK JAX! ”
“ I came in to Postino for an early birthday dinner and it was an amazing experience! Lexi and Jordan were so incredibly to us. I accidentally ordered something wrong and they were so kind and accommodating. Thank you so much for everything and being so kind and amazing! ”
“ We always love coming to Postino Annex and yesterday's Sunday brunch was great, as usual! Our server, Jacks, was very attentive, friendly, and had a wonderful sense of humor. He immediately seated us inside after it started raining on the patio and was just a fantastic server all around. The food came out perfectly and we can't wait to go back again. ”
“ Girls night out! From the start to finish our service was 10/10 would recommend!! Our server Nico was on it, always making sure we were taken cared of. The Manager JR was absolutely delightful and very organized at managing his team. Food is also wonderful!!! Definitely coming back!!!! ”
“ I've been to a few postino's locations and this one might be my favorite. We had a group of 6 with reservations - the table they were going to seat us at seemed a bit small... As the hostess walked us towards it, they realized it and Sat us at the couch with chairs instead. It was so comfortable and we didn't feel rushed to leave at all. ”
“ Great vibe inside and out and in a scenic part of town near the mountains and churches. Sat at the bar on the patio side to take it all in! It was happy hour, so discounts on wine and beer, and Michelle recommended a gorgeous white to accompany my meal. Assorted colorful olives to start (so good!) and then the manager JR brought over a complimentary bruschetta as it’s “what they’re known for”. It was the March specialty Mexican style, and the flavors were so on point- just the right amount of spice and super fresh toppings like corn & cilantro- absolutely fabulous! The butter chicken with the marcona almonds and a lightly dressed side salad that brightened up the dish were also delicious! The food and ambience are wonderful, but the real stand out for the day was their service! JR, Chris and Michelle were friendly, attentive, clearly love what they do and are proud and passionate about the food they serve. You gotta go! ”
“ Postino Annex is hands-down one of my favorite spots in Tempe. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and stylish—whether you’re catching up with friends, going on a date, or just stopping in for a solo glass of wine, it always feels like the right place to be. Plus the daily amazing Happy Hour!!!! The food and drinks are consistently excellent (I dream about that bruschetta board), and the rotating wine list never disappoints. But what truly sets this location apart is the team—Manager Jay R and bartender Michelle are absolutely outstanding. Jay R brings such a warm, genuine presence to the space; he makes every guest feel like a VIP. Michelle is the kind of bartender you instantly adore: welcoming, attentive, and always crafting drinks with care and personality. Their hospitality makes the entire experience feel personal and memorable. Every time I visit, I leave in a better mood than I arrived—what more could you ask for? Highly recommend. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Postino Annex is a Tempe gem worth visiting again and again. ”
“ Came here for a birthday dinner with friends and had a GREAT time. Not only was the food good but the service was also lovely, they helped bring out her surprise birthday cake and even played a song that we were singing without request. The vibes were also great and let me capture some great photo memories. Pleasantly suprised! ”
