Back in 2020, Postino brought its mission to “Make People Feel Good” to the city when it opened its doors on the corner of Grant and Tucson Boulevard. Many have enjoyed its menu of bruschetta, shareables, and hand-picked wine and beer selections.
Now, and much like what so many local restaurants are doing around this time of year, Postino has introduced an all-new fall menu for folks who frequent the restaurant at 2500 E. Grant Rd. It’s a great time to feast in Tucson!
Postino debuted a Caprese Panini, made with pesto, sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, arugula, and balsamic oil, and a new Greek Hummus Board “Make It A Trio” plate dressed with Greek hummus, yogurt, whipped feta drip, crushed tomatoes, red onions, and diced cucumber — a nice one for snacking and sharing.
The fall menu lineup also includes new “plate” dishes like the first-ever Chicken Paillard plate that’s made with spicy marcona almonds and fried capers accompanied with romaine, arugula, mixed greens and roasted mini peppers, lemon champagne, and sweety drop peppers. Another “plate” dish is the P.R.E.A.M Bowl includes heritage grains, broccolini, chicken skewers, avocado, romesco, and Parmigiano.
Plus, Postino fans nationwide voted for their pick during the second annual “Battle of The Bruschetta,” crowning the French Onion bruschetta winner. This particular bruschetta is now permanently on the menu this fall.Â
Attention all folks with a sweet tooth — or multiple sweet teeth like me.
Postino has a new line-up of elevated desserts. Take a bite out of the Crunchy Hazelnut Bar, which is made out of chocolate feuilletine, and peanut butter mousse, or the Fudgy Brownie — a Cartel coffee brownie with cookie butter, and topped with vanilla bean ice cream.
If neither one of those strike your fancy, perhaps the Olive Oil Cake dressed with house yogurt whip and amarena cherries will do the trick.
Also hitting the menu is a lineup of fall wines such as the crisp and vibrant Alpina Vin De Savoie Savorie Blanc with notes of apple, pear and citrus. Also, there’s the Cristia Ventous that’s rich and aromatic with floral notes, Lost Mountain Red Blend with dark chocolate and leather undertones, and the Vicenza Bianco Frizzante Sparkling Wine — a bright and fresh beverage with tree fruit notes balanced with a creamy texture.Â
Plus, don’t forget that Postino has a Happy Hour from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. featuring $6 glasses of wine and $6 pitchers of beer.
