The place feels homey and warm we came with a group to celebrate a bday. The food was delicious and drinks were great, a bit pricey but worth it when the food has flavor. Our server Jose was fantastic too so ask for him! We definitely will come back. read more

Honestly Great experience with the staff here, the music and vibes here are amazing. Everyone friendly. Food was amazing. Great place to bring a date. Highly recommend the Sun-kissed cocktail. the citrus flavor and the chili just enhanced the drink. Sangria are so refreshing. and so far i haven't found a single pizza i dislike. i always get the truffle fries to start. When you come to the bar expect to be social. i have made so many connections to the people sitting next to me! read more

Posto - Peach Pizza, and white Sangria - Italian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Had a dinner at Posto on a Sunday night. I got recommended to this place based on the pizza. The pizza WAS GREAT. Got the spicy sausage pizza. The crust was A+, sauce was saucy. Also got the meatballs. Apparently the meatballs were Nonna's recipe. Also very good. Wish the meatballs came with a little bit of bread because they were sitting in a nice plate of red sauce and tomatos which I was sad not to have something to scoop or dip into with. My date had the octopus appetizer, I don't do octopus but the dish looked fine. We got the ceaser salad. Had an anchove on the salad which looked impressive, but the salad was bland. Food comes out quick, I placed my order and about 90 seconds later food was at my table. Almost concerning how fast the food came out. I would recommend this place for the pizza. And I will definitely be coming back again for more pizza as this is one of the best pizzas I have had in the Boston area. My date and I shared the pizza and it was a good size. Overall, pizza amazing, service and ambiance a little busy and rushed. read more

This is a 3,5 review and not a 3 star. I went to Posto to try their Neapolitan style pizza, since they cook it in a 800 forno (which is custom in Napoli). However, I left feeling lack luster. To drink I ordered a sangria rossa, which I assume was premade (after looking around the bar and found a red and white pitcher) since even with ice it was not as chilled I'm accustomed. I didn't ask for more ice for a watered down drink. I wish sangrias were made to order. I began the meal with arancini, which came out in less than 5 minutes from ordering along with my mixed greens salad. The arancini was lukewarm when I bite into it and not oozing with cheesiness as I had hoped. What saved the dish was the red sauce, which was straightforward and without all the fluff that I feel is more Italian. The mixed green salad was just a little sad looking with the balsamic and greens. And the combo of feta, apple, red onion, and candied walnuts just wasn't working ... Maybe because of the balsamic ? Minus the red sauce, the appetizers didn't taste like any soul/passion/love was put into it. I did order what I came for, which was the Neapolitan pizza. The dough was soft and chewy, had nice char bites without it being too much. Neither the bacon or roasted garlic competed for attention but complimented each other well with every bite. Overall, the pizza was fine but nothing to write home about. The service was good - bar tenders attentive. Plenty of seating for a Saturday night even when it was busy. Posto does charge a 5% kitchen fee, which I think is high for the quality. I get for a living wage (I've worked BOH); however, food shouldn't overall be lackluster coming from them. read more

My friend and I tried this place for the first time on Sunday. When you walk in, the host is so welcoming. It's a cozy restaurant and the lighting is dark but not too dark that you can't read the menu. The tables have actual candles which is very cool! Not something you see often. I had the apple pizza which was delicious. I liked how the place had alcohol free drinks! I had the NA raspberry spritz which was good. I will definitely be back! read more

Oh my I want to love this place so much. Service from the front of the house to the wait staff was superlative. The meal moved along well. Juan, our server, was exceptional. He anticipated everything, he is excellent. The drinks were delicious. Their cocktails are very creative and fun. Appetizers, arancini and calamari were perfect. Both were flavorful and lots of good crunch. Very nicely done. I ordered the fungi pasta and asked for less cheese. As you might expect by now, it came out perfectly. Portions were large. The first disappointment was the pizza. My friend ordered the prosciutto pizza and the bottom and top were burned. We did not order it well done and it was beyond well done. I tried a piece and it was beyond chewy. We should have sent it back, it was not edible. Next disappointment was the expresso. I ordered a a double and there was not bitter finish to it. It was bland, almost like instant. Overall we had fun, and we will be back, the place has potential. read more

The service is fastest I have seen so far and the food is equally good.. the ambience is good too but as we didn't make reservations, we sat on the non reserved side which was bright but the main restaurant has a very nice cozy darker date night ambience. Kids happy, wife happy, husband happy read more

I loved this place the first time I tried it but our second trip brought it back down to earth. The food is pretty good, the interior is nice and modern but the service leaves a lot to be desired. They also now charge a kitchen fee onto the bill too by the way, so be prepared for that on top of gratuity. I think Posto is having an identity crisis with their Assembly Row location compared to Davis Square. They're still trying to stay hip for the young crowd but Assembly is mainly families and more suburban. They blast loud techno club music and dress very gaudy. The service starts poorly with the host/hostesses, they're very judgemental and couldn't figure out how to sit us when the restaurant was empty at 4PM. There were literally only 2 other tables that were dining at the time, it was very slow but she seemed so offended that we walked in without reservations... and by the time we finished our meal there were only maybe 4 tables total with the whole place still empty. In a restaurant that's over 75% empty you shouldn't need 5-10 minutes to figure out where to sit someone. It seemed to get worse too as she whispered something to the server as if it was a hassle to serve our party? Our first waiter must've been changing shifts or something because he seemed like we were bothering him by dining there and we got a new guy halfway through the meal. The second server was much nicer, not sure where the first guy went but he probably shouldn't be in the food industry with that attitude. Overall I wish they would get their heads out of their... and do better because the good food is marred by questionable staff hospitality. I regret telling my office coworkers to eat here and would say it's hit or miss depending on who's working. If you do go, try the pizza, meat and shrooms and the pesto pasta. read more

I saw this place on a list of top pizza restaurants in the country and had to try it! The restaurant was spacious, clean and even had a brick oven. The staff were friendly, quick and attentive. You could also see the workers making the pizza dough. I thought the sauce and crust were superior to other very popular/famous pizza spots in Massachusetts. My husband and I shared the meat lovers and prosciutto pizza. I would definitely come back for the prosciutto pizza. read more

We were very excited to try this place because we had heard good reviews. The margherita was overall okay, sauce was tangy and cheese was good. Garlic roasted pizza tasted like garlic bread with lots of cheese. The dough was not very airy and light, and pizzas kind of felt flat. We had bad burps throughout the evening. I mean we've had better Neapolitan pizzas in town so this one was a bummer comparatively. The service was fast and servers were friendly. It was a busy Friday evening with great ambiance. read more

Overall, this is a solid place to go for not necessarily the most authentic, but overall acceptable Italian food. The garden salad was very intricate, and the dressing was tasty. The quality of the meat was above average in the chicken Parmesan, which was cooked properly, although the additional pasta was pretty minimal. Service was polite and friendly and the restaurant ambience was clean and functional overall this place is good for what it is. read more

My sister told me this place had the best chicken parmesan in town so we had to try it! We came pretty early close to when they opened, no wait, cozy and very great service. Rafael was our server and he helped us out really well. We ordered the chicken parmesan and the pepperoni pizza for our entrees. I was amazed with the pizza and the perfect crispness of the pepperoni. Chicken Parmesan was delicious as well. For dessert, we ordered gelato and tiramisu. Probably the best tiramisu I've ever had. The topping of the tiramisu with the chocolate shavings was *chef's kiss* wonderful. read more

Located right in the heart of assembly row, this place is great for a place to catch up with friends/family oriented grab takeout from. The restaurant is fairly large making it easy to find a seat at anytime of day. We went for a family dinner on a Saturday and despite having reservations we were seated even sooner. The food portions are very large so we had a ton of leftovers that lasted for days. We specifically enjoyed the chicken parm and the eggplant pizza. Both were well flavored and portioned. Though we ordered pasta on the side for the chicken parm, given the size of the dish it wasn't necessary. For apps we ordered bruschetta and arancini. Both were filling and fresh though I personally liked the arancini better. Our server was nice and even if she forgot something was quick to recover. Overall we enjoyed our experience and would return. read more

Have walked by this restaurant many times and finally had the opportunity to try it. It was a Friday night. We were able to find both street and walk right in and be seated. The host staff was very friendly We were in a little bit of a rush, but our waitress was accommodating and friendly. The ambiance was nice, clean, and stylish. The food arrived at the perfect temperature and was very flavorful. I would have never put goat cheese with Brussel sprouts, but now I will be doing that at home. Overall, we were very pleased with our service, food and experience read more

My boyfriend and I walked into Posto on a Saturday and were able to be seated immediately. We ordered the short rib pasta and the Prosciutto pizza. The place is nicely decorated and pretty decent sized. The food came out in a reasonable manner. I found both dishes quite tasty. The gnocchi were soft while the braised beef was tender. The portions were also quite reasonable. The pizza had a decent amount of arugula and prosciutto scattered. My boyfriend found the prosciutto a bit dry, but it tasted fine to me overall. The pizza dough itself was quite enjoyable. Per the waiter's recommendation, we ended up ordering the tiramisu. Instead of cocoa powder, it had shaved chocolate pieces on top which made the dessert taste richer. I wish the coffee aspect was a bit stronger as there was too much cream, but I still enjoyed it overall. The portion was pretty big, and I ended up finishing it mostly myself since my partner is not a huge fan of tiramisu. Overall, the meal was pretty satisfying and left me quite full. I would come back again to try their other extensive pizza options! read more

The new Posto location in Assembly is large and nicely designed. The service was great and dishes came out quickly. The short rib gnocchi pasta and bruschetta was delicious. The bread with the bruschetta was lightly toasted while still being soft so it didn't cut up your mouth, and the goat cheese is a nice touch. While the new Assembly space is more "commercial", it's nice that this space allows for more dining availability and a very efficient pizza oven area separate from the main kitchen. read more

This spot hits every time! I always take advantage of their Happy Hour menu because you get an appetizer, pizza, and dessert for less than $20 a person. I never had a problem with being seated, but I would usually get there right when it opens. I have tried many different items on their menu and it's so yummy each time. Definitely recommend! read more

Was there on a Saturday night the weekend before Christmas and it wasn't busy but we did make a reservation prior and was seated on the bar side. The service was good and quick and the restaurant is nice and seems like a good chill spot. So we ordered the pepperoni pizza ( I know basic) lol and carbonara and 2 drinks each with a dessert at the end and the pizza was good but nothing special, I feel like The Source in Cambridge had better pepperoni pizza . Their carbonara tho, lacked sooo much flavor and it was soupy instead of creamy thick texture. I would skip on that. Not sure if it was an off day but I'm expecting a thick consistency not a soupy dish that lacked flavor. Their drinks were pretty good and strong which I like and we ended the night with tiramisu which was pretty decent. Overall experience I would go back if I want to meet my friends for a drink but I would skip out on the pasta and just stick to pizza. read more

Food was great I got the pizza and my wife got a pasta dish. Service was prompt and always came over to check on us. Place was well lit but not to bright. Really enjoyed our meals here, will definitely be back! read more

Great pizza and sandwiches. Decent ambience as well. Pricing is assembly row pricing but definitely worth the splurge compared to other places in the area. read more

Finally tried Posto yesterday. Pizzas are great - we tried the eggplant with caramelized onion and basil - eggplant was breaded and crispy and the other flavors came through nicely, crust crunchy with a nice char, yet soft inside and light. The white mushroom pizza was also very good, but my husband was very disappointed with the gnocchi with short rib - said the gnocchi had an odd texture and the dish was 'weird.' Desserts were OK - amarena cherry gelato was good but had some ice crystals, panna cotta was more custardy than creamy and our friend said the filling in the mini cannoli was a bit grainy. read more

Excellent service. Food was terrific and priced reasonably for Boston area. Don't miss the 3 mini cannolis for desert.

I went on a random weekday so it wasn't too crowded. The service was good and the pizza was great. Neapolitan style pizza is one of my favs. I got the eggplant pizza and it was delicious. The only nitpicky thing was that there was a little burnt bubble on my pizza and my raspberry spritz was a little too sweet. Highly recommend this restaurant it was a great find, I can't wait to go back! read more

We were excited to try Posto because the Instagram site has amazing photos of their pizza. Sadly, the reality didn't quite match up to the appeal of the photos. We had two pizzas, margherita and eggplant. Both were fine but not great (the eggplant was the weaker of the two). Too droopy and just not the quality we were looking and hoping for. Also: the fact that there's salmon in a Tuscan Fish Stew is just wrong... The service was friendly and quick. The interior of the space is nice, but it's very generic -- could have been really any restaurant in a strip mall. read more

From the service to the food, everything was great. Also a very nice atmosphere inside. read more

NOT CLOSED! GREAT PIZZA! My coworkers and I ate here on a week night. The place was very busy and was loud, but we were seated immediately. We had a great server here. Our pizzas took about 10-15 minutes and came out delicious! We loved the wood fire pizzas! The sausage definitely has a kick to it, but was perfectly cooked. The meatballs were an excellent starter, as well were the calamari! We highly enjoyed this restaurant! Definitely stop by for some great pizza and drinks after some shopping! read more

I drove quite a distance to try Posto based on all the great reviews. Parking was easy we lucked out with a spot right in front, but there's also a garage about a 3‑minute walk away. We were seated immediately, which was nice considering it looked like a full house. To start, I ordered a glass of wine, truffle fries, and bruschetta. Both appetizers were just okay nothing memorable. For mains, we had the spicy meat lovers pizza and chicken parm. Unfortunately, both were disappointing. The chicken parm was extremely bland the cutlet was dry with no flavor, and the pasta sauce was watery and lacked seasoning. The pizza was surprisingly soggy, which I've never experienced with brick-oven pizza. Service was fine but nothing exceptional. Overall, the food felt very underwhelming. Maybe other menu items are better, but based on this experience, I wouldn't rush back. read more

The crust and undering was rather soft & almost too doughy. I figured with brick oven it would be nice crisp & have some decent crunch. The flavor was alright but overall it wasn't the greatest it's a 6ish out of 10. Service was alright. Place is loud and crowded so if you're not wild about that i'd avoid it. read more

Oh Posto, you never seem to disappoint... which is GOOD, because we live a block away ;) I often smell the wood-burning oven and other delectable smells that waft from the kitchen as I walk the dog around the neighborhood. What started as a food truck that served wood-fired pizza has become a full-service restaurant on the edge of Davis Square. They serve up all sorts of Italian flavors ranging from the northern cuisine that often features dairy and cream-based dishes to the south that features seafood, olives, and of course... the vibrant red sauces that most Americans have grown to know and love. The menu is not HUGE... this isn't your local Italian place that has a menu longer than the average children's book, no... it's a finely curated and targeted menu to give patrons not only options, but a wide array of options in a minimal number of dishes. I have not had a dish here that hasn't been worthy of ordering or the price, and we have tried over 75% of the menu at this point. Some of the highlights and our favorites: - Eggplant pizza (thin sliced and fried... VERY unique but delicious) - Short Rib Gnocchi (it's rich, delicious, and the gnocchi are like little pillows of mouth-gasm) - Warm, marinated olives - Garlic/Rosemary fired bread - Burrata salad w/ prosciutto and stone fruit It's a very inviting space, with low lighting and dark wood accenting the other decor. The service has always been friendly, prompt, and attentive. They do a great job making sure you are taken care of and there's not too much time between them checking back on the tables. Overall, we love this establishment and think it's a good value for what you get. I've seen a few complaints about the price increases over the years, but it's aligned with the area if not a bit cheaper (depending on where you are eating... Domino's need not apply for my business). I can't poke any holes in their menu or establishment. If you are in Davis Square and looking for a good Italian place to eat, you're in good hands at Posto, and the servers are more than happy to let you know what their favorite dishes are and what the rotating specials are for the evening. read more

Everything I've eaten here has been top-notch! Vibe is a little weird inside. Music was on the loud side, and very clubby. Front of the house lacks warmth. I have a hearing issue, and with the loud music, I would need to sit where I could have a conversation with my partner. We asked to sit at one of two available high tops by the bar to alleviate this. They said they were reserved, but we sat at the bar, had an app, dinner, drinks, and dessert while they remained empty. Disappointing! Also, the service at the bar was alright, not super attentive, but not totally absent either. I'm particular about my cocktails. Bottled lime juice is being used (most of their current drinks have it!) and that stuff tastes awful in drinks, and it's just lazy. Stick to wine or beer, honestly. The food and location is carrying this place. The food is so good! Once, the newness wears off their shortcomings will only be their downfall. read more

Came here for some pre-Marathon carbs and it was a great meal! My partner and I ordered their Spring Salad, a mushroom & truffle pasta and a meat lovers pizza. Everything was delicious but our favorite was the pasta. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the sauce wasn't overly rich - it was just right. Their pizza was Neapolitan style and had great flavor and the crust was done perfectly. Made reservations for a Sunday night and they were pretty busy! Service was good and quick despite the business. Worth stopping by if you're in Cambridge! read more

Would have been an hour plus wait without a reservation, but we luckily grabbed bar seats. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was great (swordfish and gnocchi). Lively atmosphere. Definitely Recommend. read more

I came for the happy hour special. Bar seating but for $18, you get an appetizer, entree and dessert with a fair selection! Hard to beat this value. I appreciated the various vegetarian options. Enjoyed the arancini which came in a spicy ariabbata type sauce, and was more flavorful than anticipated for a rice ball. Mushroom pizza came with an assortment of mushrooms and a rich creamy base. It was crispy and well seasoned. Tiramisu was moist and coated with chocolate shavings. Service was generally expedient and the ambiance was generally dark but not too loud, making it a viable spot for a meeting or date. read more
