Lively neighborhood pizzeria with generous, tasty pies, friendly service, and strong value, though occasional service lapses and a recent weekday menu change frustrate some regulars.
Il Postino delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional pizza quality with generous toppings and crisp crusts, paired with friendly, attentive service that keeps the pace brisk. Consistent execution and strong value—especially the weekday €12. 90 menu—make it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants, though the modest neighborhood setting and occasional closing-time service lapses prevent it from reaching grade A territory.
A cozy neighborhood spot where the oven glow and the sight of pies being stretched set a warm and bustling tone. Guests call out servers by name and rave about crisp, airy crusts and generous toppings. One diner put it simply: "we made it our go-to for pizza in Palma." Service is generally upbeat and quick, though a few found closing-time interactions less than welcoming. The cooking leans classic Italian with a local wink: think New Il Postino with a creamy base, a sobrasada-and-dates pie, and optional charcoal crusts. It is straightforward comfort cooking over theatrics, focused on flavor, speed, and value. Lasagnas and calzones round things out, and desserts like tiramisu and cannoli keep the mood sweet, though a recent weekday menu tweak left at least one regular unhappy with perceived value. Families fit right in. Kids can share a Margherita or nibble on fries and chicken nuggets, and desserts are approachable like brownie and tiramisu. While vegetarians will find a few options, clearly marked vegan choices are limited, so parents of picky or plant-based eaters may want to confirm availability before visiting to avoid surprises.
