The Postino culinary team has a delicious meatball recipe for you to try at home.
Recently opened in Buckhead, Postino serves up delicious food and wine every day of the week. The restaurant occupies the space of a former Blockbuster Video, taking advantage of nostalgia with a VHS-tape themed wall.
Home videos aren’t the only vintage offering you can find. Postino has weekly event specials, including a daily list of curated wines by the glass and pitchers of beer available for $6 until 5 p.m., a $25 bottle of wine and bruschetta board available after 8 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays, and of course, their delicious weekend brunch.
If you want to try one of Postino’s delicious recipes at home, try out this scrumptious appetizer. These meatballs and goat cheese are sure to make your mouth water.
“With the holidays around the corner, this recipe is perfect for your next gathering,” said General Manager Andrew Murphy in an emailed statement. “This dish has been popular at Postino since it was first introduced and we may be biased, but we think it goes great with a glass (or bottle) of wine and plenty of friends and family.”
