Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 6/2/25

Bruschetta enthusiasts will once again cast their vote for a chance to secure their favorite seasonal bruschetta a permanent spot on the Postino menu

June 15 – August 15, 2025

Postino WineCafé welcomes back the third annual Battle of The Bruschetta, a summer-long celebration offering six limited-time bruschetta recipes. Think six out-of-the-box innovative bites like Everything Lox (whipped cream cheese, smoked salmon, everything bagel seasoning, fried capers, pickled onions and dill), Chicken Caesar Chop (baby gem lettuce, chicken, parmigiano-reggiano, garlic dressing, cracked black pepper), Supreme (stracciatella, Italian sausage, ezzo pepperoni cups, red & yellow bell peppers, castelvetrano olives, wood roasted onions, parmigiano-reggiano, parsley), Boquerones (mascarpone, crushed tomato mix, fried capers, diced anchovy, lemon zest, cracked black pepper) and Hot Honey Sweet Potato bruschetta (ricotta, caramelized sweet potatoes, thyme, parmigiano-reggiano, hot honey). For those with a sweet tooth, the Cherry Cannoli is made with cherry cannoli filling, dried cherries, waffle cone crumbles, powdered sugar, chocolate chip shavings.

The fun begins on June 15, with each “series” running for two weeks. During each series, guests can order two limited-edition bruschetta flavors and vote on their favorite by scanning a QR code at the restaurant or visiting postinowinecafe.com/battle-of-the-bruschetta-2025. The bruschetta that receives the most guest votes will be featured at Postino from August 1 – 15, before making a permanent spot on the fall menu.

All limited edition bruschetta were masterfully created by Postino team members who are now sharing their recipes with Postino lovers nationwide. Last year, the ‘French Onion’ was crowned the winner by Postino fans across the country, which earned it a spot on the permanent menu.
