In-the-know locals frequent this unassuming little wine bar in the Phoenix's Arcadia neighborhood (there are two others as well, one in Gilbert and the other in Central Phoenix). In a city buzzing with strip mall cuisine, Postino is hidden in a residential neighborhood, where the kitchen serves wonderful helpings of the Italian countryside, the Napa Valley, the South of France, and the Mediterranean coast. The wine selection rotates every few months, but Californian and Italian labels are the most common, with a few French wines and a handful of Argentinian ones added for good measure. Beer lovers can also appreciate the superb selection, including the stellar Hazy Little Thing IPA on draft or a rotating selection of craft beers.
