Stopped here after work to meet up with a friend, and loved this spot! Parking was relatively easy on the street a block away. We were seated immediately (with reservation). We shared the arancini and some bread to lap up that sauce - those were absolutely delicious! My husband and I then shared a pizza, which I shamefully forgot to photograph, and the carbonara (which was fun to mix in my own egg). Overall, it was a good and service was quick. I enjoyed the vibes and could see this being a great happy hour spot for locals. read more

We've been coming to Posto for the past three years, mostly at their original location, and it was one of our favorite spots. The old space felt warm, charming, and welcoming, and the food was consistently great. Since the move, we've tried giving the new location a fair chance and have visited three times. Unfortunately, the overall experience just hasn't been the same. The atmosphere feels much more corporate and lacks the warmth and character that made the original location special. Several menu items have changed, prices have increased significantly, and the food hasn't been as memorable as it once was. The biggest disappointment has been the service. During our most recent visit on a Friday night while my sister was in town, the service was noticeably poor. It felt like our server was simply going through the motions and didn't want to be there. Everyone has off days, but when you're paying premium prices for a night out, you expect at least a friendly and attentive experience. We typically enjoy supporting restaurants and are happy to tip generously when the service reflects the experience. Unfortunately, this visit fell far short of expectations. After several attempts to give the new location a chance, we've decided this will likely be our last visit. It's disappointing because we genuinely loved Posto for many years and had hoped the new location would capture some of what made the original so special. read more

Connected to one of my favorite hotels! Nice wines and menu. Chef cooked my steak to perfection!!! I asked for grilled veggies as accompaniment and the server seemed so confused but chef accommodated and they were wonderful! I'm confused why on a Monday-before 7pm peak hours when I asked for a table for one I was offered the crappiest little corner table which I accepted ...but why??? I finished my meal and the check was presented before I finished my wine...I ordered another but what's the rush people??? There is no one here... When the service matches the food will Be a really cool spot to frequent! Time for training on reading the room... read more

Got the espresso martini for a drink, burrata and truffle fries for an appetizer, and peach pizza for main. Everything was delicious. Staff were very friendly and quick without being overbearing. Very casual inside which is exactly what we wanted. Perfect location with a lot around it to do / see. read more

Went on Sunday night as a first date, place was cute and had a lot of seating options. Our server was kind and helpful with the menu. We didn't get checked on much throughout the night , which I personally don't mind much. Food was yummy. I got the short rib and my date had chicken parm. Portion sizes for both were generous. read more

Ordered a pizza and it was HORRIBLE. Undercooked, Undersized, Overpriced and the sauce tasted like ketchup. Additionally dozens of booths were empty and we asked for one and were rudely denied.. NEVER RETURNING read more

Dropped by for some cocktails at the bar and all the drinks were pretty well balanced. The Whisper Eden was refreshing but some other drinks were a bit too sweet. Space is much bigger than their former home in Davis and the high ceilings and acoustics make it a nice bar hang. Service was fast and friendly, would return at some point to try dinner. read more

I'm not sure if I've updated my review since they've moved to Assembly Row. We went twice. The second time was a five star experience, even though none of us actually ordered pizza, which I know has all the hype. I had a family member visiting who speaks Spanish, and she ordered pasta carbonara. I did too, and my boyfriend ordered chicken parmigiana. We also ordered a salad to share that had greens, caramelized walnuts, cheese, onions, and apples. I don't even like onions and somehow I enjoyed the purple vinegar-y ones in the salad. Everyone was happy with their entree and they were huge! The waiters spoke Spanish too, and I appreciated that they spoke to my family member (who's monolingual) in Spanish. The carbonara came with a bright yellow egg yolk in the center, and you could see some of the chunks of parmigiano reggiano- so you know there was a generous sprinkling. I didn't hear much about the chicken parmigiana, but perhaps the quietness and the fact that there was none left in the end tells you what you need to know. Looking forward to coming back here in the future. I saw what looked like a mean espresso martini at a table outside. read more

I stopped by Posto at 6 on a random Monday night in early March for a quick bite to take back to my hotel and the pizza far surpassed expectations. I grabbed a buffalo chicken pizza and it was amazing. The crust had a little flop to it but I think that's to be expected with this type of pizza. I posted up at the bar and barely had time to finish my Peroni draft by the time the pizza came out. The bartender was friendly, fast and efficient. 10/10 - amazing. read more

Brunch at Posto in the South End was such a great experience and I would definitely go back. The service was incredible. our server was so attentive and super helpful, even going back to the kitchen to check which pasta dishes were available during brunch. That kind of effort always makes the experience feel extra special. The drinks were gorgeous and tasted just as good as they looked. For food, I ordered the chicken and waffles and they were delicious, the perfect sweet and savory combo. We also got the shrimp pasta, which was so good. The only thing that didn't totally wow us was the arancini. The texture was great, but it was lacking a little flavor compared to everything else. Not bad, just not as strong as the other dishes. Overall, such a fun brunch spot with amazing service, great drinks, and really solid food. I'd definitely go back and now I really want to try Posto for dinner too. read more

Let me start off by saying the service I've received at Posto is always incredible and the ambience is great for a date night or nice dinner with friends. I go pretty regularly, but I was very disappointed with my experience this most recent time. I was very sad to see they had taken the pesto pasta off the menu, it was so delicious! So instead, I ordered the Fungi to try something new and a Meatball Pizza as a reliable item I knew I already liked. The pasta was fragrant and tasty, though slightly under-seasoned. The chicken milanese we added was fried to perfection but also slightly under-seasoned. The pizza felt a bit different as well, not quite sure why. In memory, it had an overall sweeter profile? This time around I felt the sauce and meatballs were a bit more sharp and almost bitter. I really want to believe they were just having an off night when I went, but the price point is just slightly too high for me to feel this way and still recommend it to others. Not sure when I'll return. read more

Posto, located at the Assembly Row in Somerville , is an Italian restaurant that will want you coming back for more ! We were lucky enough to sit at the bar as it was a busy Mother's Day afternoon. They have brunch every weekend 10-3 so plan accordingly. I'll jump right to it and say their drink menu has a nice variety from wines to a traditional Bloody Mary. They did have a Mother's Day drink special, which was nice. Since I already had drinks at the previous establishment I was in, unfortunately I chose not to drink here, but I will mention that their soda was crispy! I had ordered the meatballs and just wow , I couldn't really describe the sauce you just have to try it to understand, but you can definitely tell this is not your store-bought marinara. I did also try and bit of their French toast and that one bite was pure perfection. Holy moly!! Posto, good job. We will be back. read more

Posto came to my attention when I saw this video that was posted in another forum. Since we were planning our trip to Boston, I was sure to bookmark it. For anyone interested, the video is about five minutes long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t0RyD26WJc After seeing the video, we made it a point to get there. Posto made a list of the top 50 pizza places in the country (they rank 36th). At first, my husband wondered just where in Somerville they were located. There are parts of Somerville that require transfers from the subway to a bus. Looking at the map Yelp provides in its business pages, we were both pleasantly surprised at just how easy it was to get there. Getting there for us involved getting on an orange line train heading "outbound". In the late 80s, the Orange Line was realigned, which involved creating new stations while keeping some of the older ones. The stop where Posto is located is "Assembly". This stop was added as an afterthought. Years ago, a car assembly plant was located there. In recent times, it was torn down to make room for yet another urbanized town center-type project that retained the name "Assembly". Posto is a short block walk away from the T station. We weren't sure how busy it would be, given all the hype. We made an early reservation. It was unnecessary as there was plenty of room in the place. We ordered calamari as a starter. We were impressed at how perfectly it was fried, and the portion size was just right. We ordered a Margherita pizza and it was quite good. My husband found the sauce to be a bit too salty. I didn't really notice that. The sauce had a nice, fresh flavor: it was splendid in its simplicity, as we wanted to taste the basic ingredients in the pie without any toppings getting in the way. Service was great. The staff was friendly and efficient. The decor is modern and spare. It's hard not to miss the brick-fired oven. Is the pizza one of the best in the country? Hard for us to honestly say but we enjoyed it and would consider a return visit whenever we visit "home" again. read more

Tasty but oh so pricey (as expected from the area). They were packed on a weekend evening and luckily we were able to get a seat at the bar without much wait. The bartender was super nice and got our drinks and food in quickly. The pasta was tasty but nothing out of the world. The pizza was also good- crust had a nice bite where it was chewy and a little crisp. Both were good but not sure if I'll keep coming back for the price. Still a good spot for a "casual" date night. read more

I think Posto is a great addition to Assembly Row. The atmosphere is really nice and the service is great. I do feel the menu could use a touch more variety but all in all they have a nice selection. My friend and I shared the Mortadella & Whipped Ricotta appetizer with hot honey, pistachio, and parmesan. It was good, but not great. I thought it lacked depth and flavor. For dinner, I had the Almondine pizza. It was a white pizza with toasted almonds, ricotta, mozzarella, fontina, chili infused honey. The flavor was fantastic. The pizza was a bit doughy and soft. I felt it could have been just a touch crispier. I totally enjoyed it nonetheless. It sounds simple but the flavor and texture was unique and delicious. All in all, I recommend Posto! read more

Posto has such a lively, happy vibe -- the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. The service was genuinely 10/10 -- friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We ordered the Margherita and Almondine pizzas, truffle fries, olives, bruschetta, and burrata, and everything was amazing. The pizzas were fresh and flavorful, the truffle fries perfectly crispy, and the burrata was creamy and rich -- just perfect all around. It's the kind of restaurant that's great for both date nights and fun dinners with friends. Can't wait to go back! read more

Had a really poor pick up experience with an extremely long wait and overly salty pizza. Food: Obviously since I picked up and ate it 20 minutes after it was handed to me it's not as good as freshly baked, but I can still say it was overly salty and disappointing for the price. Service: While the staff tried to be nice, it did feel like they were brushing me off every time I asked about my pickup order. After waiting 45 minutes (the original quoted wait when we ordered online) I went and asked about the order. I was repeatedly told just 5-10 more minutes until waiting close to 30 minutes longer. 1 hr 15 min wait for 2 personal pizzas is way too long. Atmosphere: The interior was quite cozy and atmospheric, but knowing I might have to wait longer than an hour for a pizza turned me off from coming and dining in person. read more

This is a classy, upscale Italian spot in Assembly Row - it gets quite busy, so you definitely need to make a reservation in advance. I was lucky to snag the last one before the dinner rush. I was intent on trying the pizza here, so we ordered the peach (white sauce), with prosciutto on just half. Unfortunately - and perhaps because we made that modification - the rest of the toppings on the non-prosciutto half were pretty sparse. But either way, the pizza was decent, though it lost some of its structural integrity as the dough and crust were pretty wet even immediately after being served. The pizza was also cut into only four slices, and I felt like six would've been more appropriate here. However, I was even more impressed that the fungi pasta stood out even more than the pizza - it was excellent, and I would absolutely recommend it. It struck the precise sweet spot between satisfying a mushroom lover, while the mushroom flavor not being too overwhelming for someone who dislikes mushrooms. I also love rigatoni, and the pasta was perfectly cooked. We also ordered the pane as an appetizer, and I would skip that next time if getting the pizza, since they're essentially the same thing. We rounded it out with tiramisu - I was excited based on some reviews online, though skeptical when what we got looked significantly different than the pictures I had seen. I appreciated the higher sponge-to-cream ratio (I love the soaked ladyfingers!), whereas I feel that many other spots around Boston emphasize the cream. However, the cocoa powder was extremely grainy and not fine enough, making the overall texture more difficult to eat. On top of that, the tiramisu's flavors were weak, as if it hadn't had enough time to soak in and infuse all of the layers. I wouldn't order this again. read more

Stopped at this pizza restaurant while in town meeting up with cousins. It was on a list of best pizzas in the US. I had made a reservation but they only had outdoor seating left available and it was sooo windy. It wasn't a comfortable meal which was a bit annoying. The pizza was pretty good but I wouldn't say it's one of the best I've tried. The tiramisu was pretty good. Decent location too. I would possibly return if they had available seating inside but it wouldn't be somewhere I'd be dying to return to. read more

Drove almost 2 hours for Posto and it was so worth it. The interior is gorgeous and the location is great. So much to do around the plaza! The service was great and fast! I got Arancini for appetizer and Margherita Pizza to share. Both were delicious. Arancini was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce was a bit tangy and I loved it! Now for the Pizza, no complaints it was perfect to the T. Love love love the thin-crispy crust, sauce was delicious and the flavor was just right. And for dessert, I tried tiramisu. Because everything else was so great, I had high expectations for this. It ended up being too sweet. I will definitely come back and try something different for dessert. read more

This new location is popular for young adults and families so it gets extremely busy for weekend dinners, especially on Friday nights. It was over an hour wait for walk-ins so it's necessary to make a reservation if you're planning to eat anytime after 6 on a weekend. The interior is beautiful and the food was good. We got the calamari, meat and mushroom pizza, and prosciutto and arugula pizza. Good thing we got a starter, because one of the pizzas came out so late, a table who ordered after got both their pizzas first. The meat and mushroom I would order again, but the prosciutto was on the saltier side. I'm not sure why the prosciutto wasn't laid out flat, as I saw in pictures, but instead bunched together as if in shreds. Overall, I am a fan of Neapolitan pizza and I would go back. Next time, I want to try the pasta. The carbonara looked really good. I'll just be aware it might be a longer dinner than I'd expect. read more

Here for a company event. Their calamari is absolutely fantastic. Not the least bit chewy. Bruschetta was really hard to eat but delicious lol Honestly disappointed in the swordfish, as it was extremely dry and kind of a thin cut? Cannolis were on the small side but decent, I'm not 100% sure they used ricotta cheese because there was a sour note missing? I will go back and try other things on the menu. read more

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 2/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Was good, didn't blow me away. Very vibey, loved the aesthetic. Service was eh, not super friendly (felt like they were there for the paycheck) and didn't check on us. My friend's medium rare steak was bleeding so that was a downside because we had to flag them down. Food was good though! It was very heavy so I couldn't eat a lot of it, but the flavor was light in kind of a nice way. You didn't bite into it and get wowed by flavor, but there's almost a hint of an after flavor that was delicious and gave the vibe the ingredients were fresh. The gnocchi was super soft, the carbonara was decent but could benefit from a tad more salt or Parmesan, the pesto was excellent. Tons of parking at assembly in the parking garage, and first three hours is free. read more

The food was awesome and the ambiance even better . My wife and I started our Honeymoon in Boston and this was the first place of the trip and we were not disappointed . We got appetizers and the Calamari and Meatballs were amazing, possibly the highlight of the meal. For our entrees we got chicken Caesar salad and pizza . The pizza was tasty , just a little messy and the salad was great, the only reason I gave it a 4/5 is the chicken was a little dry and maybe could have used a little more dressing . Service was great and lunch was amazing . We recommend it to all read more

Modern warm interior with plenty of space, friendly service and moderate price point. To start had the BURRATA with prosciutto di parma, watermelon, truffle honey, aleppo pepper, sea salt flakes, microgreens which was flavorful, cool and delicious with just the right pop of heat from the Aleppo Pepe. A really nice starter. Then for an entree, SWORDFISH with wild mushrooms, zucchini, garlic, pea & scallion pesto, radish, micro green salad add which was perfectly cooked, most and flavorful with plenty of the accompaniments. (This totally redeemed two vey dry peices of fish I had at restaurants over the previous weekend). This place was surprisingly great! read more

Came back to Posto for another meal before a movie date. We had an early reservation at 5:30 PM and the place got packed. This time around we ordered the meatballs, arancini, almondine pizza, and the cannoli trio. The arancini was just as much of a hit this time as they were last time, delicious! As for the meatballs they weren't my favorite, they could have a lot more flavor they were just alright. The almondine pizza was amazing, I asked for it to be "well done" so the undercarriage and crust could be a little crispy/avoid any sogginess. The cannoli trio was the perfect way to end the meal. The service continues to be great. All staff members are welcoming, attentive, and kind. A perfect spot to grab drinks at the bar and for date nights. read more

Posto has moved to Assembly Row! I was hoping it would be a 2nd location because I like the neighborhood feel when it was by Davis. Oh well, life goes on. I went to the new location on a Friday night I think. It was pretty busy but service was not compromised. Very modern feel to the restaurant. Only the first round of drinks took a little while but food everything came out pretty quick once ordered. All the appetisers were good especially the carpaccio which was my first time trying. Loveee the Fungi but the Soppressata was a bit too salty. And theGelato was really nice too. read more

I'm back in town visiting friends, and we decided to go to Posto. We were fortunate to get a table for 3 at 7:45 on a Friday night. We split the mushroom pizza, the warm olives, the octopus, and the burrata. I tend not to express myself using superlatives, but everything was just plain outstanding. Flavorful, spicy olives, melt in your mouth burrata with prosciutto and apple relish, well balanced spicy octopus (chili aioli and Aleppo pepper) with bacon, grapes and either crispy prosciutto or bacon. The pizza was rich but not overly cheesy, and the mushroom mix and sauteed spinach was balanced with chewy crust and a rich olive oil base. We were planning on eating more, but decided to quit while we were ahead and have the chocolate hazelnut cake for dessert. Somehow, the cake was delivered accidentally to the table next to ours, and not only was another piece brought out to us as soon as we let the server know, but they gave us a generous portion of the tiramisu to make up for the mistake. Both desserts were of comparable quality to the rest of the meal, and they disappeared quickly. For the quality and quantity of the food, the meal was an excellent value. It is a little noisy in the room, with music and hard surfaces, but despite that, we were able to talk without raising our voices, and the service was a gracious team effort. The deliciousness of the food offset the background noise - once the food came (extremely quickly), we were so absorbed in eating and savoring it that it faded and was not annoying. Based on this experience, I would consider coming here on my next visit. Keep up the good work. read more

i was looking for a casual restaurant with delicious food late on a thursday (10pm) and posto was the perfect choice. we started with juliana and rafael took over, they were both great. we started with meatballs, which were a good size, and had ideal seasoning. then we split the eggplant pizza & fungi pasta. we liked the eggplant pizza, great crust and cheese to sauce to dough ratios, however there was extra eggplant and could have used more basil to balance the taste. the fungi pasta is nearly the perfect texture and taste and i really loved it! we both loved the drinks too! meatballs 8.2/10 eggplant pizza 7/10 fungi pasta 9.6/10 great spot for late night dining in assembly row. ambiance: 4.5/5 food: 4.1/5 drinks: 5/5 service: 4.5/5 Posto: 4.5/5 read more

I was really excited to try Posto once I saw it opened in Assembly Row. Unfortunately, the food was a bit of a let down. We started off with the arancini which was pretty good and a good portion size! Our entrees however weren't the best. The bbq chicken pizza had really dry chicken. The fungi pasta also lacked flavor and the sauce was really watery. We also tried mocktails and they were decent but really expensive. The staff was friendly and food comes out pretty quick for a busy night. It's a really cozy and inviting space as well. It might have been just been a busy weekend night but hopefully there's some improvements in the future! read more

Love the pizza options here! We got the spicy meat pizza and the peach pizza. It was a great contrast - with the milder sweet peach and the super savory spicy meat and pickled jalapenos. The peach pizza was a little wet, but we ate it fast it enough that it didn't make the crust soggy. My favorite was the spicy meat pizza- it wasn't super heavy and the pickled jalapeño on it really cut the fattiness. We enjoyed the pear with me cocktail and white sangria. We didn't get a dessert menu, and service was so-so. Would like to come back to try their pasta dishes and other pizzas! read more

I have always enjoyed Posto, but ever since they moved from Davis Square to Assembly Square, the experience feels noticeably different. The new space looks great, but something about the pizza has changed. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but the flavor and texture just do not hit the same way they used to. It is not bad, just not what I remember loving from the original location. One thing Posto still does exceptionally well is their drinks. They continue to offer some of the most interesting cocktails around, and my wife especially loves them. Her favorite is the one topped with sorbet balls, which makes the drink fun, colorful, and really unique. Overall, Posto still has a lot of charm, but the move definitely changed the vibe and the food a bit for me. I miss some of what made the original spot special, even though the creativity and presentation are still there. read more

I visited the Boston location with a group of friends, around 12. It was a good ambience for a large group and there was space at the bar for a drink before dinner. Menu is designed for sharing and can split appetizers pizza and pasta. There are no gluten-free options, but you are able to add salmon to a salad. The service was great and the waitress was very nice. Food came out relatively quickly as well as drinks. read more
