Postino WineCafé is popping open its welcoming patio umbrellas and rolling up its garage-style doors at the Bowl at Ballantyne, on Friday, July 19. Designed for how people dine today, the restaurant will also offer a robust to-go, delivery, and catering experience, regardless of size or venue. The Ballantyne wine cafe will be Postino’s first concept “in flight” in North Carolina.

As part of the grand opening festivities, the first 100 people who dine at Postino on opening day will receive a complimentary bottle of bubbles and a $50 gift card to be used on a future visit.

“Becoming a part of the Queen City’s vibrant community has always been on our bucket list and we are ecstatic to join the incredible lineup of iconic restaurants and retail at the Bowl. This opening reflects not only Charlotte’s growth but also our own expansion journey,” said Lauren Bailey, Upward Projects’ CEO and co-founder of the restaurant group behind Postino. “The wine cafe will be the new go-to spot in the suburbs of Uptown for countless special occasions like pre-concert drinks, a romantic date night, after-work cocktails, or just a mid-week snack. We are ready to rock and roll and can’t wait to win over the hearts of Charlotteans – one glass of wine and bruschetta board at a time.”

The menu at the Bowl will change seasonally but will always include a bountiful selection of must-have bruschetta, charcuterie boards, from-scratch soups, fresh salads, and panini sandwiches. Postino’s 12 delectable bruschetta offerings pair perfectly with a glass of wine with varieties such as brie & apple with fig spread; smoked salmon with pesto; sweet n’ spicy pepper jam with goat cheese and more. For the taste testers, the menu offers shareable bites, also known as “Snacky Things,” like crispy cauliflower; butter poached shrimp scampi; sweet potato wedges; and more…
