Postino Heights is an Italian wine bar and brunch spot located in the trendy Heights neighborhood.

Born in Phoenix, Arizona in an old 1940s post office, Postino (“Postman” in Italian) recently laid down roots in Houston. Located in a 1940s warehouse building that was once Pappas Restaurant, the space provides a variety of dining options, from sipping wine on one of the many couches, to brunching on the patio or grabbing lunch at the bar.

Postino Heights focuses on wine and a multitude of assorted bruschettas: ricotta with dates and pistachios, salami with pesto, plus seasonal variations. If you’re more of the sandwich type, no worries — the panini list is pretty impressive as well. While the brunch menu isn't that extensive, it's tastefully done. (Check out the full menu here.)

Yelper Rachel J., who reviewed the restaurant on April 23, wrote, "Really, really loved this place! An all-day wine bar?! Who wouldn't want to go!

Guusje M. noted, "Walked over for brunch this morning. Small, but well thought-out menu with different riffs on the usual bacon and eggs. French Toast was a pleasant change from the syrup-drenched version found elsewhere."
