I was hesitant to order based on prior reviews. I placed a to-go order, and let’s just say I’ll be returning! I ordered the sweet potato wedges and ciabatta chicken panini. Everything was fresh! Might I add I ordered at 10pm. Nice size portion, I will have some for tomorrow’s lunch. The sauce for the wedges had a nice kick and balanced the sweet potato perfectly!

If you're looking for a spot with delicious food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere—Postino Ballantyne is it! My husband and I have dined here several times, and every visit has been fantastic. The meatball and goat cheese appetizer and the bruschetta board are absolute must-tries—so fresh and full of flavor! Last night, our server Dani was incredible—attentive, upbeat, and genuinely friendly. She greeted us with a smile every time she came by, which made the experience even better. We also had a visit from Katie, the manager, who stopped by to check in and say hello. We let her know that Postino has become our go-to date night restaurant. Highly recommend this place for a casual night out or a fun dinner with friends—you won’t be disappointed!

Postino at The Bowl in Ballantyne is an absolute gem! We recently celebrated a meaningful milestone birthday here — a heartfelt prelude to an exciting European getaway planned for this summer — and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone: warm, inviting, and effortlessly chic. The staff welcomed us like old friends, and their attentiveness made our celebration feel truly special. Their iconic meatballs was a showstopper, bursting with flavor combinations that had us savoring every bite. Every dish was fresh, vibrant, and plated beautifully. You can feel the love and creativity in every bite. If you’re looking for a place to mark a special moment or simply enjoy an exceptional meal in Charlotte, Postino at The Bowl is the place to be. We’ll be back — maybe for the post-Europe celebration next time!

Definitely like the atmosphere and outdoor seating. I had the salmon and an Unfashioned. Both were good and then we walked around the area after. Reminds me of Birkdale Village.

The service was great, and the food options even better! Loved that they had gluten free bread options, and were able to make accommodations for our order. The hummus was so flavorful and delicious & we loved the bruschetta board!!!

My food was quick, waitress was helpful for my first time and eager to make sure I had a great choice of panini. She explained it well and was ensuring I was good with the way it was prepared. Great for anyone who might have allergens. Panini was crisp and tasty, toppings fresh and flavorful, amazing meal!!! I recommend here and will be back!

A friend chose Postino Ballantyne for a post birthday celebration. She loved it so much from a previous visit that she thought I’d enjoy it, too. Our sever, Jay was attentive and full of personality. He checked on us and made sure we had what we needed. The food was fresh and tasty but the tomato soup that came with the grilled cheese was a little bland. Next time I’d try the meatballs and one of the salads. My friend loved her meal - a salad and one of the paninis. We had the donuts balls to celebrate her birthday but we felt they were a bit dry even with the three dipping sauces. I’d definitely go back again because we liked the atmosphere and the easy parking.

Cool atmosphere and great bites. Perfect place to hang out and grab a drink/ bite. We had the Chef’s board, replaced the prosciutto with Italian sausage and added some steak. For drinks we went for an old fashioned and a Hazy Little Thing.
