About Postino Restaurant
We are happy to offer our outdoor area for wedding ceremonies. The slate terrazzo, vine covered arches, and secluded lawn are the perfect setting for a memorable ceremony.
Even when it was a U.S Post Office back in 1937, the building that houses Postino Restaurant had exceptional charm: a picturesque cottage exterior, brick walls and a slate roof—all of which have been carefully preserved. The interior, however, has been completely transformed into a warm, rustic, and whimsical environment.
Postino’s setting is storybook perfection. A tidy hedge shelters Postino from the street. Its ivy-covered brick facade rises to a pointed, double-layered turret with an iron pennant jutting out at a permanent, jaunty flutter. The sharp top of the gray slate roof gives way to a gentle outward curve as it slopes down over the terrace along the building’s left side. A small black gate in the hedge swings open to welcome visitors up the walk, along the lush lawn (just right for photos), and past the neat border garden with a gently trailing birch tree.
Inside, the delicious aromas of meats and vegetables roasting al forno will pull you straight from the front door into the Atrium, the main dining area. The entire back of the room is open to the kitchen; a high rustic wood counter separates chefs from diners, and serves as a buffet for private events. Tables and chairs can be removed altogether to free up space for dancers to take a spin on the slate floor. The Atrium is open and full of light; the sun’s rays spill through a glass-paned ceiling and a diaphanous canopy of parachute silks.
