    We had a FANTASTIC experience at Postmistress. The food was really delicious. Highly recommend the Melanzane Pizza & Brucia Culo pizza. The veal involtini was scrumptious and the ricotta gnocchi melted in your mouth. Lydia, our waitress was the BEST! She was very knowledgeable when it came to the dishes on the menu and she was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself was really nice. I liked the fact that you could see the kitchen on one side and on the other side there was a bar. The tables were large and spacious and the chairs were quite comfortable. I would highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely return! Thank you for an enjoyable evening Postmistress!

    This was our first time at Postmistress and the food and drinks were fantastic. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and we stayed for another round of drinks and dessert. The person I'm guessing is either the Manager or Owner was lovely, warm and welcoming. He ended up taking care of us for a decent length of time, as our server was MIA. We waited nearly 15 minutes before our food and drink order was taking by the lovely Owner/Manager, as our server couldn't be found. When she did show up, she was nice but not around much and we had to keep following up drink orders etc. It was a shame, as the food and drinks were so good, and it put a dampener on an otherwise great night out.

    We dined here for our anniversary, were presented with complementary Prosecco to celebrate, and from there the night just got better. Great service, delicious food and a great evening overall. Thanks to all the staff!

    Postmistress is our favourite local restaurant. The staff are amazing as is the food. The gnocchi is sensational and the prawn risotto needs to become a regular feature on the menu and not just a special.
