Great menu, lots of variety. We enjoy the atmosphere in the restaurant and wait staff are always receptive and pleasant. Their take out is equally satisfying. read more

Packed even on a weeknight, Posto is a bustling but cozy dinner option. We came for the pizza, and also started by sampling their rosemary garlic bread. Quite tasty, but we didn't really need it with two pizzas on the way. Our server was very helpful in that regard - once we ordered our pizzas, he asked if we'd like to wait to put in the order until we were done with our appetizer in order to time the meal more appropriately, which I appreciated. We ordered a cocktail and glass of wine, with the former being much more worthwhile. Our pizzas, one apple and one sausage, arrived at our table incredibly fresh and hot. The flavors were well-balanced but lacking a bit texturally as the pizza crust beneath the toppings wasn't particularly crisp. The sausage was also spicier than I expected, and delicious. I'd return to sample their other entrees, but it isn't knocking other spots off the top of my to-try list. read more

Posto - Italian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Everything about this place is great! The ambiance, decor, set up, is very sleek and hip. The service is friendly. The food was amazing! I ordered the special which was some sort of pasta with broccoli rabe and braised lamb. It was very very good. My boyfriend ordered spaghetti with the pomodoro sauce (the sauce was very tasty) and his son got the margharita pizza. He almost ate the whole pizza but got full with one slice left. I would definitely come back! read more

One of the best meals I have had in Somerville or Boston for that matter in a long time. Arancinis and burrata were a very good way to start the meal and both absolutely delicious. The pan seared sea scallops, house-made gnocchi, crimini mushrooms, white wine sauce and truffle oil was absolutely PERFECT. The gnocchi here is like little soft delicious pillows of joy, soooo good. The short rib gnocchi was also phenomenal and perfectly cooked. read more

Posto - Pan seared sea scallops, house-made gnocchi, crimini mushrooms, white wine sauce and truffle oil. Absolute perfection! - Italian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

great all around Italian place, great for work dinners and date nights. authentic fresh Italian, pizza and pasta. pricey but worth it.

CHICKEN CAESAR - 21 crispy chicken milanese | romaine | lemon & anchovy vinaigrette | parmesan | herb croutons We ordered this salad from the menu and it sounded delicious. However what we got we had to throw in the garbage. We got the tops of the romaine lettuce (no crunchy lettuce just the dark green leafs cut up), we got a tiny container of salad dressing that didn't even cover the small side of lettuce. The crispy chicken milanese was flavorless and very hard. It was quite difficult to cut even with a knife. We did order two pizza's as well and those were decent. But this salad was a major disappointment. We order take out and I know that affects the quality of food, but this salad would have been bad had we eaten at the restaurant. I hope this was a one off for them because if not, it needs to be removed from the menu. I wish I took a photo but we were so disappointed that we didn't eat it and had to throw a 21.00 salad in the trash! Also before I posted this review I contacted the restaurant directly through their website the same day we ordered 11/23. I have yet to hear anything back from them and today is 12/2. read more

I was never a big burrata fan until I came here. They do such a good job complimenting the cheese and tomato with a hefty amount of prosciutto and delicious/warm garlic bread. Other places don't provide this much for their burrata dish, so I'm a bit upset I don't live in Boston. The rest of the food was just normal. I think my taste buds were so overwhelmed by the burrata that everything else was downhill from there, but that doesn't mean they weren't good! It was good, but nothing to rave about. They open their full length windows during cooler weather, so it has a nice cool breeze. They also have an open kitchen, so you can see your pizza get made! They also use a real candle to provide some romantic vibes. I always think real candles, instead of those fake plastics ones, are a nice touch. Our server was super nice, knowledgeable and competent! I don't understand when restaurants can't spilt up checks in a certain way. Yes, it's a bit of a hassle for the server, but keeping track of our order is part of the job. So, she did a good job. I wish I remembered her name so I could give her a shout out . read more

This is one of the best places in the Cambridge/Somerville area for date night. Awesome and fresh Italian meals, beautiful wine selection, great service. We have never been disappointed here! And for those of you who are still hesitant to go into a restaurant during the COVID-19 crisis - they are on GrubHub! We ordered a Valentine's Day dinner to have at home from them and it was absolutely lovely! read more

Been here 3x and tried to support. Overpriced. If you want to charge high prices I can respect that but i expect solid food and service. Both are limited. And I get it, you want to rush me out.....really poor service. I want to support through this and the government has as well but you need to do your part too Posto. read more

Service 5 stars Flavor 2 stars Serving size to price ratio 3 Flavor of food is average and on the pricy end for the quality. Friendly staff are very knowledgable and understanding of food allergies. Gnocchi with short rib Raghu was bland. The octopus appetizer was a bit rubbery and had a weird dijon mustard sauce (bland too) on top. The octopus did not taste fresh at all. Chicken dish was dry and under seasoned. Chocolate Budino was good balance of sugar and chocolate not too sweet. Tiramisu was too sweet. The pizza was pretty good. Great dough. Great wine list. read more

Posto is still one of my favorite restaurants in Davis Sq. Every time I come it's solid good food. The staff are friendly and attentive to food options. Vegan eaters many of the pastas, appetizers and pizzas can be be vegan. Gluten free as the waiter said "not much". The salads and entrees which leave out two of the four sections but I'm not complaining. Most recently the steak, spinach and potato entree and the mixed green salad were amazing. Always a great place to go! read more

The food and ambience were absolutely great. They have a really nice outdoor seating area with tents and lights. Reservations are recommended but they do accept walk ins. The outdoor tables are far apart from each other and when distance is not possible they have put up screens between the tables keeping in mind the social distancing era that we are in now. All the waiters were wearing a mask and they encourage you to order everything in one order to minimize people interaction. The menus are disposable and toss it in the trash as soon as u are done using it. They even went a step further and are providing plastic silverware so that they can just throw it out. Although I appreciate their safety measures but i feel having plastic silverware just adds to more plastic waste. Lets get to the food now! We started our meal with Bruschetta, Marinated Olives and Rosemary Fresca for cocktails. The Bruschetta was topped with roasted grape tomatoes, goat cheese spread, red onions and basil and it was amazing! The grape tomatoes would explode in your mouth giving you a flavor explosion and the onions were a nice balance to the tanginess of the tomatoes. The goat cheese spread added a mice creaminess. The bread could have been a tad bit crispier. The marinated olives were flavored with rosemary, orange and garlic. The olives were not seeded and that was a bummer. The Rosemary Fresca was refreshing and not too sweet. Moving on to the entrees we went with Spaghetti Carbonara and Rigatoni. The Spaghetti Carbonara was really good. It had bacon bits which added the savoriness and a farm fresh egg which made the pasta creamy when u break the yolk and mix it in. Would definitely order it again. The Rigatoni had mushrooms, garlicky spinach, butter cream sauce and parmesan. We likes the Rigatoni as well. The sauce for rigatoni and spaghetti was almost similar. The garlicky spinach was a nice addition to the Rigatoni although it might be too garlicky for some people. We ended our meal with a Peach Crostata. The peach crostata was good too. We were expecting the crust to be more crispy but it was light, soft and airy. The raspberry sauce added a nice tangy flavor. We would probably go with Tiramisu next time as it looked delicious. All in all a great experience and we cant wait to get back! read more

Pizza was excellent, we tried the roasted garlic and bacon (my favorite), caprese, and eggplant. The ribeye was amazing, served over a baked potato, spinach, and carmelized onions. Cooked perfectly! Drinks were really good and creative. I ordered a cocktail with vodka and Prosecco and it was delicious. We got there right when it opened, so our food and drinks came out so quickly, we were all impressed. Our server Kyle was awesome. Because of the pandemic, the ambiance was lacking, and we didn't have much interaction with our server, which we were disappointed in cause he was great. We sat at a wooden poker table with no tablecloth, in a white tent, but we can't blame them for that. They're doing a great job adapting to the circumstances! One more thing: the music SLAPPED. That was the meat and potatoes of the entire experience. Rock the boat, dreams, funky town, brick house, the list goes on and on. I could have stayed here all night. Definitely would come back. read more

Of the trio, I like Painted Burro and Rosebud more. Service was outstanding here, but food was just alright. Lobster gnocchi special came out with lobster way over cooked and portion was small for the price. Beer selection is just ok and wine selection is solid. Pizza and arancini were tasty. The ambiance and decor was nice. read more

Posto was great when it first opened. Last 2 years the service has gone down hill. We went this evening returning for the first time and we were extremely disappointed, the food was not what it used to be and we felt rushed. The young lady who was seating us was annoyed because we requested a different place to sit. We ordered food to go and it was brought out before we even received our entree. The customer service was horrible and just made us uncomfortable and rushed. Servers/ restaurants want people to tip great without providing great service. So we will not be returning. Thank you read more

I would have to say missed opportunity. I tried the meatball pizza, and their tomato sauce and asiago were very good enough to be noticed. The dough was also good, except only it was too salty. They didn't skimp on the oregano and garlic, but to the point of being quite overwheming. It is awkward to criticize on the generous use of ingredients; nonetheless it still feels that a bit of modesty in the use of flavors could have been helpful. They are rather pricier than others so I think one can expect more quality. read more

Pretty decent food!! I like their pizzas (have tried 3) and their pasta was excellent. Good service and usually never a wait

Burrata - 5/5 I will be back for the Burrata. One of those unforgettable dishes combining the richness of burrata, sweetness of honey roasted peaches and tartness from prosciutto. Used the pane (basically pizza crust) to make sure the plate left the table empty of any possible deliciousness. Gnocchi pasta - 4/5 Soft melt in your mouth feel of the pasta is the highlight with a rich and tasty red wine sauce. Sgroppino cocktail - 4/5. Very well balanced cocktail sangria blanco - 4/5. solid light sangria Tiramisu - 4/5. Massive portion, marscapone heavy flavor Limoncello tasting flight - 4/5. Very fun to have gotten to try 3 different types of limoncello including blood orange. read more

A wonderful place with great service and great food. Perfect spot for date night - beautiful interior space. You can also make reservations on open table, which is convenient. The food was so well done! We got the margherita pizza and the crab tortellini. The pizza was well seasoned, and the crust was soft with the perfect amount of chewiness. On par with pizza in Italy! The crab tortellini was delicate, full of crab, and all the flavors of the dish worked perfectly together. Will definitely come back! read more

I have heard so many wonderful things about Posto and finally made it in for a visit at a UYE last night. Not only was the company fantastic (duh) but the food and service were pretty great. At the bar I asked for a cocktail menu...then Lu B. told me 'You don't need a menu. Its called the Gin Gin Mule, and you need to order it.' I'm not a gin fan, but I took her word and swear I drank that mule in about 3.4 seconds. Bombay Saphire, ginger beer, lime juice and muddled mint make a super refreshing and light drink. We made our way over to the table and amidst all the gabbing and laughing the waitress managed to keep up with all of our requests. There were adorable glass jugs of water on the table and the cocktails kept coming. I shared the Honey Crisp Apple pizza and the combo of sweet apples, salty bacon and sharp gorgonzola fit the bill. It was $16.50, which I thought was reasonable considering the ingredients and the service. In fact, my total for 2 cocktails, a pizza, tax and tip was under $45. The waitress split all of our bills, and for or a party of 20+ that is quite a feat. Gratuity of 20% was added, which I hate to get as a surprise. I added another 5% for her because the service was so great, but I wish she had told me that 20% was on the bill. The only real gripe I have is how dark it was. I get the whole mood lighting thing, but I couldn't really see my food. read more

We loved this place! We sat outside on a cozy night, and we ordered a margarita pizza and a spaghetti carbonara. Both are on the expensive side, the pizza was $13 and personal sized, and the carbonara was $25. I get it though, this place is a little fancier than others. Both were really delicious! The pasta was cheesy but not overly drenched in cheese, which I liked. We also got the Apple crostata for dessert, it was so sweet and so good. Service was great, I would definitely come back again someday to try another pizza and the Bolognese. read more

This restaurant has been on my "food" bucket list for awhile now. So you can see that when I was in the area on a Saturday night, I was super excited to check it out. We walked in around 9ish and I was surprised that we got seated right away. The atmosphere and ambiance was lovely. Very exquisite! Definitely my kind of place. When the waitress came over, I ordered a sample taste of a few wines. My husband had a beer. We started off with the calamari, which was ok. Since they are known for pizza, we ordered a half margarita and half mushroom. Minutes later it was ready, but when we tasted it, it did not taste anything like brick oven pizza or what other reviewers raved about. It was soggy, and not crispy or even cooked for that matter. I did tell the server about our disappointment, and she sent over the manager with a new pizza that looked much crispier, but still was not what I expected. At the end of the night, they did take off our calamari and sent us home with a few cannolis. I really wanted to love this restaurant, and I usually give places a second try. Maybe the next time we decide to go, it will be a better experience for us all. read more

Score, another awesome meal in Boston. Somerville is super fun and I really haven't spent enough time there; Posto in particular is a great little place tucked off the main road. Beautiful, sleek atmosphere, perfect for an intimate dinner. I met a couple of friends for a Monday night dinner and Posto was a great choice (thanks friends!!). The place was quiet but not dead, and we had a great little table toward the center of the restaurant. I ordered the crab tortellini with butternut purée and parmesan cream, which I loved. I especially liked that the pasta wasn't soaked in the parmesan cream; it was more of a touch, and there was lots of nice butternut squash purée for dipping. The serving was a bit small, but that was all good since leading up to this trip I had been a beast of an eater. Anyway the presentation was beautiful with the pasta arranged nicely in the sauces. Service was very efficient and we were able to catch up and have a great time!! Really loved this place for Italian and I'm looking forward to coming back when I am in Boston again! read more

Posto - tortellini with maine crab, butternut vellutata, and parmesan crema - Italian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Overpriced and overrated. The crust is solid, but the cheese is sub-par and the sauce is incredibly bland. It needs more salt. Basil was fresh, but how can you screw that up? The fried green tomatoes were actually fried red tomatoes, and therefore lacked the proper texture and flavor of traditional fried green tomatoes. Made fun of by our waiter for ordering 3 Margherita Pizzas. Awesome! read more

Posto - Italian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Slow start, but overall "yum"! Had a reservation for 4, but still had to wait 30 minutes. Waiter brought the table an order of bruschetta as a conciliation - excellent. Also shared a calamari appetizer and an order of the Rosemary bread, both of which were very good. Tried the Risotto white pizza and the Caesar salad for dinner, which was very satisfying. Finished off with the cannoli (labeled 'mini cannoli, but actually a plate of 3 small cannoli). Highly recommended. read more

As I write this, Posto has been open less than one week and already the over-the-top haters are coming out to play. In the manner of a review vigilante, I will over-the-top rate Posto four stars. In a better world where people actually focused on, say, an entire menu, staff, and experience after the restaurant had a chance to work out the kinks, I'd give the restaurant four stars, which is more appriopriate for a casual restaurant making excellent family-friendly fare in a restaurant with televisions over the bar. With that out of the way, there's something really, really, really important you need to know about Posto. IT JUST OPENED. That's right. It opened last Thursday. I ate there on a Monday night. Only its fifth service ever. You get it? They just opened. Posto isn't a smooth-running machine yet, there's a staff very recently thrown together, some just starting work the night you meet them (as in the case of my super-friendly and personable bartender, Jeremy, who still wasn't familiar with the menu on his first night ever at Posto, but went out of his way to get answers, chat with the diners at the bar, and make everyone feel welcome). So now that we have that established, let's talk about what Posto is about. Posto is about great regional food, well-prepared, using fresh, local ingredients in season. They don't scream about it on the menu (there's little-to-no namechecking here), but chef Joe Cassinelli has made local sourcing - and artisanal products - a priority. And he's got the chops. While pizza is the focus here (a wood-fired oven imported from Italy bakes a pizza in 1.5 minutes), I think the antipasti are the real stars. There's a huge variety of interesting variety meats - crispy pig ears and tripe served in the style of Rome. On my visit on a monday night, we ate flavorful, slightly spicy with a 'Tuscan Vinaigrette", perfectly crispy calamari. For $11 it was a reasonably large portion and we enjoyed every bite. The soft pillow of fresh burrata ($12), topped with pesto, pine nuts, olive oil and Parmigiano-Reggiano was a hit at our table. We had to fight each other for the last bite. We also shared a fava bean, pea and string bean salad ($12), which was near perfect except for slightly-too-many raw onions thrown into the mix. Even my dining companion, a self-proclaimed raw onion fanatic, didn't finish the onions. Pizzas range in price from $12 for the Margherita DOC (the signature Neopolitan pizza made with Caputo '00' flour, San Marzano tomatoes, and Fior di latte buffalo mozzarella from Italy) to $18 for more fancy pizzas, including White Anchovy and Prosciutto Cotto. They also have several add-ons - for $3 you can have a soft farm egg cooked on your pizza, some roast pork (hello porchetta!), or white anchovy. For $5 they'll add prosciutto. The pizza is very good - though you can tell that the pizzaolos are still getting to know their oven. Our pizza was cooked just a smidge under perfect, with the crust needing just a few more seconds of browning time before coming out to our table. My neighbor's pizza was more perfectly baked, and I was envious (don't get me wrong, it was still great, I just am a stickler for crust perfection). If you aren't of the mind to order pizza, they also serve three meaty pastas and have daily specials of traditional red sauce Italian restaurant hits (eg lasagne on monday, cacciatore on tuesday, spaghetti and meatballs on Wednesday, eggplant parmigiana on Thursday, etc.). Its cute and sweet homage to 'traditional' Boston Italian restaurants. Dessert is, I hope, a work in progress. It is a simple menu, priced at $5 per dessert: there's affogato (espresso and ice cream) served with a biscotti; a duo of ricotta cannoli; and zeppole, a simple Italian 'donut' served with honey. We ordered the cannoli, and they were very competent, full of vanilla flavor, but lacked the excitement of the rest of the menu. I hope with time the chef expands the menu and makes it as showstopping as some of the antipasti and Insalate. I'm planning to go back later this week to try out more of the menu. I'm hoping that I'm able to get a seat - even on a Monday night, a week into opening, the place was a zoo. There was hardly a seat available at 6:30 pm. So plan to wait. Not really a problem though, as there are delicious craft beers on tap and lovely snacks to nibble on while you wait. read more

Posto - Calamari - Italian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Good place! Nice environment and a long waiting line up to 2 hours. The Rosemary sea salt bread was good, and the spicy oil was good too, but it wasn't spectacular. We ordered the calamari- nothing out of the ordinary either. The gnocchi with beef was something that I was DYING to try out and it was delicious, but I wish there were more flavor in the gnocchi itself. It was nicely squishy and the flavor of the beef was delicious too, but I've had better pasta. My friend tried the tortellini but he did not like it... He said it was similar to a crab dumpling (haha) and wanted more flavor. The dessert was like a firm chocolate outing and a cheesecake in the middle. It was good, but nothing crazy. Pizza looked good though! read more

My family and I was visiting Boston and wanted to try an Italian restaurant before we go. We heard great things about Italian cuisine in Boston. Everything we tried was delicious. Gnocchi with beef, meatball appetizer, riceball appetizer and the wood oven pizzas were all good. Service was friendly and washrooms were very clean. Highly recommend the fried rice ball with cheese appetizer. The outdoor seating is a decent size too. read more

So this is my second time dining at Posto. The first time was a very good experience, I recall a fair amount of pizza ordering and leaving extremely happy. But this review will focus on my most recent trip where I got to sample the delicious roasted pig. My party was of 14 people, I believe we had to reserve our table a couple of weeks back, and lock in specifically the amount of people 5 days before the date. We didn't need to order other sides as the pig came out with more than enough sides including salads, potatoes, cauliflower, and other things. But even with all the sides, yea, there was no way we came close to finishing that succulent pig. Taste, yea, it was absolutely amazing. Perfectly prepared. Dripping with flavor. Highly recommended. read more

This establishment is fairly close to my new apartment and my roommate and I decided to give it a try after hearing about it and seeing it repeatedly popup on the Yelp iPhone app as a nearby establishment with decent ratings. We proceeded to drive there, walked in and were told to wait from 30 to 45 minutes for the next available table. It was drizzling outside which discouraged us from attempting to eat somewhere else so we figured what the hell and decided to wait. We stood near the awkwardly placed bar and no matter where we tried to stand, we were always in the way. It was kind of frustrating and prevented us from ordering drinks. About 25 minutes later, as we finally found seats at the bar and were about to order drinks, we were told that a table was ready for us and we were escorted there. And then... nothing... 5 minutes go by... 10 minutes. A waiter then noticed we didn't have any menus nor an assigned waiter. Great, they totally forgot about us. Sure the place was busy, but they don't have THAT many tables. They didn't really apologize for it, and proceeded as if nothing happened; kind of insulting. At least the food was good. I ordered the crisp lemon & mozzarella "arancini" (served with pomodoro & mint) as a started and the "Prosciutto Cotto" pizza which has gorgonzola arugula and port sciroppo. Both were excellent but the prosciutto was very salty. The drink I had was good as well. The service was really inconsistent all night though which kind of ruined our experience there. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated and features a beautiful open kitchen that also has a wood oven right in it. Another side note as well is that it was really noisy; the background music was on a tad too loud which forced people to speak up over it creating for a not-so-quiet atmosphere; a real shame. But overall it's a great establishment, a very nice menu and the prices are decent. Hopefully, they won't forget about me next time and it will be a tad quieter. Fingers crossed! read more

Yes, they're busy. Swamped, even. And they're new, so I'm sure the service is spotty at times. And I am certain that any place that calls itself a "wine bar" gives certain folks preferential treatment and is rude to everyone else at times. But regardless, their product is in the upper echelon of pizza, using the style and quality of ingredients necessary to exact it into that Top Five Percent that no neighborhood joint can hope to rival. They cook in an 800 degree wood-fired brick oven. All else being equal, a pizzeria with an 800 degree wood-fired brick oven creates the better pizza. A 500 degree steel number that you'll see in every Main Street Pizza and Brother's Pizza and Subs in every town in America cannot beat brick. Posto can put a char on the crust that infuses the dough with a wonderful depth of flavor before you even get to the sauce and cheese. Speaking of, the sauce and cheese on the margherita were both simply outstanding. The sauce had a wonderful tang without being too sweet or too bitter. The cheese had a firmness and saltiness that could stand up to the high heat of the oven. The basil was wilted down wonderfully and created an overall profile that could stand with any of the pizzas you can eat in New York or New Haven. Their specialty pies and appetizers were also outstanding. The roast pork and broccoli rabe absolutely sung. The hint of lemon zest on the arancini brought something very special to the heritage pork inside them. The fried calamari were firm and flavorful, with more of that excellent sauce. I'm not discounting any poor review of Posto. They're new, figuring stuff out and certainly offending foodies with either pretension or perceived apathy. But regardless, this place does pizza the way it is supposed to be done. You will not find a better pie for miles. read more

Oh, Posto. I really do love you. From the dim-lit, yet hugely open interior to the U-shaped bar, to the sliding library-style ladder...I just love the place. Everyone is super friendly without being too in your face. They're always attentive and never pushy. But the food...it's AWESOME. Juan does an amazing job of slinging out fantastic, fresh pizzas. I've had a few of the apps (bruschetta is A+!) a few different entrees... -Salmon with beet risotto -- GOOD. I love beets though. Damn it's good. -Calabrese - really good, great flavor. -Sopressata - so freaking delicious. Add basil! -Asparagus with smoked bacon & farm fresh egg - WOW is all I have to say about this one. I was blown away by the flavor combination and the lemon zest is such a delicious addition. Never would've thought of that on a pizza, but trust me, it works. This is one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I usually go for the red sauce pizzas, but after having this, I'm a changed girl. I think what makes the pizza so freakin' delicious is the dough. It's just perfect. Slightly charred on the bottom, a couple of bubbles on the crust, and super light but crispy. Some bites are so pillowy soft though... I can't explain it but it's just my favorite. read more

Great Pizzas and Pasta dishes. We go here constantly. Quality is very consistent. One of the gems of Davis Sq.

One word - Fabulous. After threatening a visit for months, we finally made it to Posto and man are we glad we did! We were immediately pleased that Posto took over a great space that we enjoyed in the past when occupied by other restaurants. Its a great open floor plan with concrete floors and a wall of windows to the street. Also nice is being able to see the famous oven and the chefs at work! Nothing to hide here when working very cleanly with wholesome and fresh ingredients! The owners and staff are super friendly and highly professional who pay close attention to the customers and their positive dining experience (special thanks to John, our knowledgeable and attentive waiter). We were here for the brunch menu and were hard pressed to find one thing we would NOT try on the menu. Its full of delicious salads, classic breakfast dishes and scrumptious pizza choices. We settled on the Caesar salad, eggs Benedict and margarita pizza accompanied by bloody marys. All were out of this world amazing. The salad was fresh and perfectly balanced with flavors of cheese, lemon, garlic and a hint of anchovy. You gotta love the teeny croutons as well! The Benedict was melt in the mouth perfect with a hollandaise sauce that was so light it was almost effervescent! I swear this has ruined me for eggs Benedict anywhere else. I suppose I should look at it as, I need look no further for the holy grail of bennies cause this is it! Trust me. The pizza is everything people say it is, packed with flavors on top of picture perfect crust! This meal was the best dining experiences my wife and I have had in a loooong time, thank Posto! Cant wait for outdoor seating in the spring. Elm street is a good street for it - not too busy with good foot traffic for people watching. You can bet we are coming back for dinner soon. We checked out the dinner menu that looks very exciting. Enzo, their wine preservation system affords crazy good wines by the glass that most restaurants would have you buy the whole bottle. Beyond the Enzo experience, the wine list is very respectable. Update: March 1, 2010 After the amazing brunch experience we were BACK for dinner coaxing two friends to extract themselves from the South End promising they would not regret it. They didn't! The dinner was just as memorable as brunch. Word on the Gin Gin Mule. I am not a Gin drinker cause it gives me nightmares, but I loved it enough to order two! Can you say apocalyptic dream life?? We started with the caesar and a beet salad. I was convinced my wife who has an aversion to beets would be converted, and if ever there was a chance this was it, but no such luck. I had the crab tortellini that was delicate and sublimely melted in the mouth in a flavor symphony. The others ordered pizzas and all were remarkable. We are so happy to have Posto in our lives!! Update: July 26, 2011 DO NOT GET THE BURGER ....if you intend to ever want to eat a burger anywhere else ever again. Posto serves the best burger I have ever eaten .. and I love burgers. Grass fed bliss served with perfect pomme frites. read more

This review is about the FOOD because that's why we're all here right? Haters wanna hate on the service, I get it. But Posto is brand spankin' new so let's just leave that out of the review. The margherita pizza was the best I've had in Boston. Hands down. Let's review: The crust - perfectly crispy (it should be, their oven reaches 750 degrees!), nice char, and flavorful! How often do you have a flavorful crust? Cheese - Creamy, rich, salt mozzarella. Perfection. Sauce - sweet, savory, not overpowering but perfectly proportioned to the crust/cheese Extras - Basil was fresh and the chili oil was the most perfect addition to the margherita Additionally the pork arancini was crunchy and yummy and the fried calamari was also really tasty. The service will get there. The wait times will abate. All the while, the food will remain delicious. So just go. read more

Edit - have returned a couple times since writing the original review and have been consistently underwhelmed. Original review: Wow! Highly recommend. Originally they didn't have any reservations for tonight (Friday before Valentine's) but my bf called and pleaded and they squeezed us in. This was our first time eating here and everything was amazing. The bruschetta had a sweet vinaigrette paired with it that was so good. Him and I shared a pizza (can't remember what kind...but it was one of the white pizzas with pancetta) and the gnocchi dish. Both meals were delicious. The gnocchi was melt in your mouth and the pizza had just a hint of Rosemary that really pulled it together. We finished with a cannoli. The cookie was nice and crisp and the ricotta wasn't too sweet. Service was also impeccable. Out server was polite and chit chatted but knew when to let us to our selves. Easily a 5 star experience and I can't wait to go back. PROS: service, everything food related we tried was delicious, beautiful atmosphere and great ambiance, willingness to fit in a reservation for us even though booked solid CONS: a slight under pour on my BF's scotch, lemon drop martini a little more tart than I usually like read more

Never have I had a bad meal here. Love that pizzas change and the wood fire taste makes such a big difference. The wine was great and the recommendations from the bartender were great. read more

There is always a long wait here so make sure you make reservations! Romantic ambience and friendly service. A great place for dates, but I saw families here too! For the appetizer, I tried the Polpo (greek octopus and soppressatta with garbanzo beans). This was okay, I am not a big fan of octopus and this was a bit chewy for me. However, the sauce they used was very tasty. I heard a lot about the pizzas here so I had to try them! I ordered the Parma (prosciutto, mozzarella, aruguala, and lemon anchovy vinaigrette), This was delicious! So much flavor and just the right amount of everything. The crust itself was thin, which made the flavors stand out more. It was a decent sized personal pizza which I could not finish by myself. One complaint about this pizza was that it was a bit hard to eat because of all the toppings. read more

The food and staff at this restaurant are incredible. Due to some covid19 concerns, I had to scramble to find a restaurant with outdoor dining that could accommodate 9 people on Labor Day weekend. They did just that. I had the carbonara which was creamy and full of flavor. My wife ordered the bolognese which was excellent. They had a great drinks menu too. I raved about this restaurant for the entire weekend. Highly recommended! read more
