    Ambiance

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wow! The Roasted Garlic Pie was ELITE. I'm still salivating from it. I've never been a white pizza type person, but this one was outta this world. I ate the whole thing! Roasted Garlic, bacon, Mozzarella?! CHEF'S KISS! I can't wait to go back!!

    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.

    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!

    BRUSCHETTA- so good!
    Reshmi K.

    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!

    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.

    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.

At first we were going to be seated at a booth towards the back of…read morethe restaurant, one member of our party was on crutches so we requested to be moved to a more comfortable table in the restaurant. Our waitress was knowledgeable and gave good food and wine recommendations from the menu. Our party really enjoyed the octopus as it was a tender bite with freshness coming from the peas/mint/cilantro. We also enjoyed the juicy meatballs with tomato sauce and again a hint of freshness and nuttiness coming from the pine nut pesto. We were not crazy about the striped bass crudo. It just seemed to fall flat flavor wise for me maybe not enough salt or acid to really counter balance the other fresh clean flavors in the dish. That being said it was not bad just underwhelming. The pizzas were great value price wise and the flavor combinations were unique but also worked well with one another. I liked how they didn't shy away from using spicy peppers on the Nduja pizza. The Fennel Sausage pizza had that fattiness from the sausage mixed with acidity from the cherry peppers and some creaminess/extra layer of flavor with the green garlic cream sauce. I somewhat wish the pizza bottom was baked slightly longer for a less floppy center but that's just personal preference. They clearly put a lot of effort into this pizza recipe. The only critique we would have is the service seemed a bit rushed. We would have enjoyed a bit more time between appetizers and the mains. Even the check came pretty shortly after we finished which would be understandable on a busy weekend night but this was a Tuesday evening and there seemed to be plenty of empty tables around us. Other than that would recommend for an elevated night out!

I got the after school snack cocktail which was very refreshing and paired nicely with the meal. We split the Bucatini Verde and it was so delicious. I couldn't even pinpoint the flavors I was eating but it was amazing. Fresh pasta and just really good flavor. We saw a dish online we wanted, but the server explained they use that pasta for different dishes and change out the sauce, so I'm glad I got to try it. We then split the Pepperoni + Vodka Sauce pizza which was good. I'll be honest I was a tad disappointed in the pizza. It was flavorful but I think I was expecting the same feeling I got when I had the pasta. It was good, but just that, good. Crust was a little burnt. I did love the vibes and pasta and it's definitely known in Cambridge for a good reason. I'd recommend a reservation if you'd like a table as it does fill up fast.
