If you are ever looking for a place to reunite with long lost family members, I highly recommend Postino. \n\nI went there on a suggestion by my Bestie, Dottsy Z. after I received a phone call from my uncle (whom I had never met in my life) wanting to meet for brunch on Sunday. I was looking for a central location between Mesa and Avondale and Dottsy being the Social Diva Extraordinaire knew the spot! \n\nIt was the perfect day for sitting on the patio. The trees provided enough shade to prevent me from improving upon my already awesome farmers tan I received the day before at the Good Guys Auto Show. There was a trio playing a good mix of soft music although I would have toned down the volume a bit. All in all it was the perfect setting for my first meeting with my uncle, his wife and my cousin. \n\nThe menu is perfect for light Italian dining. The majority of us ordered panini's. I had the prosciutto and brie on ciabatta with salad. It was AH-MAZING. Being the Italian gal I am I love me some prosciutto, and added with the brie and fig...YUM! My cousin had the same and he devoured his before I had even three bites in to mine. It may be the fact that he is on spring break from the Naval Academy that he has the constant appetite of a teenage boy. My aunt had the bruschetta which she loved but couldn't finish, my cousin took care of that problem. My husband had the tuna panini and like my cousin took his down in seconds flat.\n\nThe only down side to the menu was the lack of kid friendly options. We had our 18 month old son with us and there wasn't a thing on the menu he would touch. Luckily our server was kind enough to bring a bowl out of their organic chips for him to munch on, and happily he did. So unless your little one can maintain on chips alone or has an advanced palate, I would refrain from taking them along. \n\nThere are so many other things on the menu that I want to try. I cannot wait for my next visit!
