After the first few times I came here, I thought "it's good for Davis Square." But I've been here enough since, and had pretty solid meals and happy hours, to now think it really holds its own against some of the other Italian restaurants in the area. The ambience is amazing! So warm and inviting, with soft lighting and rustic wood tables and chairs, all warmed by the glow of the pizza oven. We have tried apps, salad, pizza and pasta and dessert and all are really solid, served piping hot, the dough for the bread and pizza seem really fresh, and the portions are generous. My one big complaint is all of the food is under-salted. Like ALL of it. We were sitting at the bar one night, and another diner asked if she could borrow the salt grinder in front of us, promising to return it. We said sure and I asked what she was having. "The swordfish...it's gonna be good with a little salt." See what I mean? My only other issue is that this style of pizza, touted as "Neapolitan", is too floppy and droopy in the center for my taste. And the eggplant pizza needs much more eggplant. But the flavor is there - fresh dough, wood fired - pretty good. I like the mushroom pizza best. I've also had hit or miss experiences with some of the salads - out of season tomatoes, odd combos. But the arancini, bruschetta (I know - why get this when you're getting pizza too? But my husband lives for a good bruschetta) and meatballs are very good. The smoked rosemary bread is outstanding, and arrives like a present, wrapped in parchment, and fresh and steaming hot! What a treat! And the pastas are nicely steaming hot, seemingly cooked to order and yummy (after a bit of salt...) The desserts we tried were during happy hour, so they were petite versions of cannoli - very good and I loved the crispy, flavorful shell - and we also had a standard, a-ok tiramisu. The service is very good and friendly. The crowd is welcoming. So I say come and get the smoked rosemary bread and dip it in the sauce around the meatballs. Add a little grated cheese and life is pretty, pretty, pretty good. read more

This place is so great! The wait staff is very kind and very patient. We adored our waiter and he was very nice. The menu was very straight forward and has unique cocktails and fun appetizers. The drinks are great! The food is even better. The bathroom was clean and the restaurant had a great vibe. Be aware that there is an additional service fee that I learned about from a sign in the bathroom. It isn't a big deal, but I wasn't expecting that in the bathroom. The wait staff was amazing so I hope they are treated well. read more

Absolute hidden gem in Davis square. Not sure how long it's been here but wish I knew sooner. It's a perfect date spot - IF you enjoy good food on the date. If you're looking for bells and whistles and tourist traps etc., then it's not your spot. The food was absolutely delicious. You can it's fresh and homemade. I highly recommend going and trying either the bolognese or rigatoni alla vodka. The Neapolitan style pizza is also delicious to share. 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

Posto - Eggplant pizza raspberry spritz - Italian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Somewhere between a 3 and a 4. The two pizzas we ordered were pretty good, with a chewy, puffy crust, but the toppings felt ... lacking. The pineapple/soppressata one was overwhelmed by the saltiness of the meat, which was fine, I ended up picking the meat bits off and enjoying the pineapple on its own. The apple one was a little bland. I usually don't like extremely strong flavors but this pie needed bigger chunks of gorgonzola and/or more of the caramelized onions. Not much of the apple shone through, leaving only a slightly crunchy texture. As it were, the only flavor I got was the arugula. I did like the summer salad (get it while it's still on the menu), with tomatoes, ricotta, honey, and perfectly ripe peaches. I would've been happy eating just this dish and foregoing the pizza. The thing that stuck in my craw was the 5% "kitchen fee", which was included as part of the food and the drinks, and then we were taxed on the total. Each pie, including the margherita, was already $20+. All told, with tax and tip, dinner ended up being around $50 for two small-ish slices, some salad, and a drink. Parking: Plenty of 2-hour street options, much easier to sort out a spot than the busier Mass Ave. 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

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

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

2.5 Stars Maybe our expectations were set high, but overall underwhelming relative to our experiences at other places where we paid the same/similar amount of food. We ordered the arancini, calamari, and mushroom pizza. For drinks we got Birth of Venus and Pink Potion. The food was not bad but also not stand out. The arancini was very bland and the calamari batter could also have used more seasoning. The mushroom pizza disappointingly did not have the flavor complexity you'd hope for given the list of ingredients it has. Instead the most prominent aspect of the pizza flavor was the saltiness. Drinks were fine, both on the sweet side. It took a while to get the check. Saw other tables who asked for their checks after us able to check out first by a significant amount of time. The atmosphere is nice though. 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

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

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

Had a great experience but it was funny to read back my review from 2017. Back then a margherita pizza was $14. Nowadays, it's $22. I still recommend this pizza even though it's gone up $8 in 5 years. The sauce is divine. The cheese is perfect. The crust has char. It's the kind of fragrant delicious authentic homemade pizza you can compare to those you find in Florence. I paired it with a $14 glass of Vermentino white wine and for dessert a $4 scoop of fluffy delicious lemon sorbet. They also post that they've included a 5% back of house fee to help pay staff more fairly, I respect this. Very shocked at how much the price has gone up though. A margherita pizza really shouldn't be $22, but the quality is really incredible. read more

Who doesn't crave a good Italian food when in the greater Boston area? Well this evening we decided to try Posto & we weren't disappointed. We sat outside because we had the dog with us (note that they welcome dogs for the outside seating). We had a simple but delicious meal of pizza and pasta. That margarita pizza was especially good. They even made a special veggie pasta for us. Would recommend this place - especially if you are in the area with your pet. 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

We were visiting the Boston, and arrived at the restaurant on a busy Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar. Based on the reviews, I was really excited to try the food. I ordered the chicken barbecue pizza for my husband and the pasta carbonara for myself to go. It took a few moments for the bartenders to take my order because all three of them were watching a sports event on one of the bartenders phones. Once my order was taken, the food arrived relatively quickly. It took a while for me to get the attention of one of the bartenders so that I could pay my bill and leave. The pasta carbonara was still hot by the time we got back to the apartment but it had no taste. It was absolutely bland with only tiny dots of bacon throughout. The barbecue chicken pizza was just ok and the service was lacking. Overall, a very disappointing experience. read more

We stumbled upon this place craving a good pizza. Being slightly south of Davis Square, the lively and distracting foot traffic from the square doesn't interrupt the ambiance of the restaurant. We originally planned to sit outside, but after seeing the sun shining directly onto the tables, we decided on indoor seating. The restaurant was pretty empty, but filled up very quickly. We split the bruschetta and warm olive appetizers. The bruschetta was a little too acidic, probably from the balsamic and pickled red onion, and the bread was cut a little too thick. The olives were very good and the portion was generous, although it was heavy on the oil. We decided on the prosciutto pizza, which was very good. I was a little disappointed to see the prosciutto was not cooked with the pizza, but instead was simply placed on top, but it covered the entire pizza, so I couldn't complain. It was a nice dinner, especially for choosing it on a whim. With such a wide variety of pizzas, I'm sure I'll be back to try another. read more

A decent experience overall, but with several points that were noticeably lame. Food: got the burrata, which was noticeably cold; the prosciutto and watermelon and cheese had clearly come straight from the refrigerator. Part of what makes burrata great is its flowing texture, and this was undermined by the temperature. Also, I felt that the combination of elements just didn't work, compared to other types of melon, which are in season. Finally, it came with no bread -- which I've just never experienced when ordering burrata. We couldn't find our waiter, but a captain finally saw our pleading looks, and put in a ($4) order for bread, which turned out to be AMAZING. Why didn't our server at least ask us if we wanted bread? The brussels sprouts were fine -- crispy, definitely too hot to eat right away. The seasoning was uninteresting -- not even some paprika? The pizza was very good, though the crust was so thin and the sauce and melted cheese so wet that the center was soggy. The bolognese was the biggest hit, nothing special, but solid. Three times, we attempted to flag down our waiter, or any waiter, and struggled to make contact. The house was probably 1/3 full. read more

First meal in Boston, we decided to try Posto in Somerville. My brother read somewhere that it was considered one of the top 50 pizzas in the world. No idea where this was seen. The lady serving us was great. No issues with the service for us. The ambiance was good. The lights were low. Fire from pizza oven was going which also helped. I had the LIMONATA (Pomegranate, Lemon, and Bubbles) which was delicious. My brother and sister had the Raspberry Spritz - (raspberry & basil, lime, with ginger beer) they stated it was great as well. Me and my sister both had the Gnocchi - (braised beef short rib, red wine sauce, Parmesan crema). The meat were small chunks. The Gnocchi itself was the best thing about the dish. There was something crunchy inside the dish which was most likely tiny diced carrots or celery were guessing. Probably good to have change in consistency to avoid everything from having a soft texture. It was OK, if I had to go back I would not get it again. My sister agreed. I believe my brother had the Meatball Red Pizza - (beef, pork, veal, mozzarella, Asiago, Parmesan, oregano, and garlic). He stated the pizza was ok, but he had better at various places. I would recommend to possibly try another place instead. Maybe expectations were too high. read more

Posto - Pesto pasta with shrimp and arugula on top - Italian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

you are of culture these people think you are stupid. The manager even told me I was crazy and that she didn't understand plain English today 25Apr2025. She told me that she got rid of the DEI initiative a long time ago! WTF, What the heck does that mean!!!??? If ur not willing to serve people outside of your race then put a sign up! Please be aware and cautious that they are not use to the shades of brown that will come in there! The manager on Friday 25Apr2025 told me I was just as crazy as the situation. The situation : a server( 2nd server) lied to my face and told me that he was my first server as he clearly wasn't. The 2nd server told me I was mistaken and that made me feel a certain way as if I couldn't distinguish who my initial server was! Then told me I could order an item that my first told me wasn't available? Maybe the manger on duty for 25Apr2025 was use to a certain type of client but she was certainly not use to people who look like me. It saddens me as the first couple of times I've been here it was warm welcomes; maybe different management! Living in Assembly, the expectation is just higher for me as I'm not use to the type of service I received today as it was highly unacceptable. No matter your walk of life you should be accepted to eat at one of your favorite restaurants, well as of today, I will no longer be a patron and yes they are RACIST! Beware!!!! read more

Posto is a cute little pizza/italian restaurant in Somerville right after Davis Square. Parking was a nightmare but we got one closer towards the square.

Posto is an upscale italian restaurant by Davis. Their menu offers interesting takes on traditional italian food. Starting off with the octopus - I would highly recommend trying it out with the fingerling potatoes. The combination of texture and flavor from the different ingredients is amazing. Next up is the carpaccio. My favorite dish here. Its sirloin topped with crunchy textures of Parmesan and croutons. Ugh, i wanna go back just for it. I had a squash pizza. It sounded interesting, tasted good, but not something I'd get again. It was worth a try though. read more
