My husband and I love this restaurant. They serve great food, their pizzas are the best! We love their cocktails and chocolate cake. Staff is super nice. Don't forget to book your table, the place can be very popular on some nights, but even though it's full, it doesn't feel packed and the place is not loud. read more

I live right in Davis and have been to Posto several times. I brought my girlfriend here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and her response was, "Um, why don't we come here more often?" Agreed. That is my fault and I'm deeply, deeply sorry. The pizza here is really good. They have a white risotto pizza that makes me want to eat until I die from overeating. The meatball is super good too. I haven't had any of the pasta dishes but the rosemary bread and the caesar salad (which is super light and refreshing. no idea what that dressing is but put it in my mouth please thank you) are great apps and you should try them. Overall, this place is really good and recommended if you want some fancy pizza! read more

I want to start with a disclaimer about this place: I haven't eaten there. This review is about shoddy service and policies amidst the restaurant reopening. DO NOT MAKE A RESERVATION UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE YOU CAN GO. I made a reservation there for a Thursday evening several days in advance. When it came down to the day, the weather changed and was clearly not suitable for outdoor dining. I did the noble thing and notified the restaurant of my cancellation several hours in advance. Later on that evening, I got a $50 charge on my credit card for a cancellation fee. $50! I went through the system to make sure I didn't miss a disclaimer about a fee and found nothing. Further, management didn't respond to emails and voice messages asking for an explanation. I understand times are tough and would have swallowed the fee if it was made clear in the first place. I feel scammed and it's enough to keep me away from Posto, forever? Too many good Italian places in the Boston area to support service like this read more

The best use of this space since it was built. I had the pumpkin risotto, which was just a little too soupy for my taste but with flavors very nicely put together. The Loire white wine was both excellent and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly without being intrusive. I'll go back soon. read more

I like the scene and that you can get half sized portions. Go for: braised short ribs (I got the half sized and it was enough) sea salt bread read more

It was our first time here and we will definitely be coming back! It was an overall excellent experience, with delicious food, great service, and a pleasant atmosphere. We started off with the arancini appetizer which was a bit pricy at $9.95 for four pieces, but they were very good with excellent tomato sauce. I ordered the margarita pizza, which was pretty much perfect. Amazing crust, great flavor, and a generous amount of fresh mozzarella. Definitely among the best pizzas I've had anywhere. My wife had the sweet corn risotto, which was incredible. It was clear that the corn in it was very fresh. The excellent food was accompanied by a good drink list from which we enjoyed a few beers. Our server, Amber, was very friendly and attentive - the one thing that keeps the service from being truly excellent was her request that we keep our silverware after the appetizer, rather than clear it with the dishes and bring new settings. She more than made up for that with complimentary cannoli that she surprised us with at the end of the meal. I'm already looking forward to my next Posto pizza! read more

Dinner for 4 - 4 drinks, 2 pizzas, 1 bread appetizer - $90 Likes: - The rosemary bread - The pepper infused olive oil - The pizza - The callback (we arrived with no reservations. They took my number down and called me back earlier than promised time. Good hosting!) - Overall ambiance (if it wasn't for the music) - Overall attentive service Dislikes: - Music - too loud and poor music choice. As a friend of mine described it, sounded like you are watching a movie and somebody is about to be sacrificed, and then another track that sounded like a truck backing up. You are a high-end pizza place, in Davis Square. Your average clientele is not going to a trance club or looking to dance (and there wasn't space for your robot-moves even if you did want to dance). Turn down the volume! I actually guessed what the waitress was telling us about the menu (and I hoped that she had heard what I ordered) Play simpler classical music or some Italian music or other light-fare, and let the people have a conversation! - Price - now I know you a certified Neapolitan Pizza place...but really...either price it a little lower (drinks and pizza), or make the servings a little bigger so you feel like you received your money's worth! We probably could have chowed down another pie (and felt guilty about it later...but its PIZZA!) but we didn't knowing the bill in the making. read more

Had dinner with friends last night. Disappointed that the parking lot had maybe 8 spots and had to deal with meter feeding. Pizza was really tasty, had the sausage and mushroom pizza(s). Mussels were in red sauce,not wine and croutons as we normally expect. Chocolate torta and tiramisu were huge and very good. Would love to try out their pig roast option for a party sometime... read more

Brunch at Posto was outstanding! My friend had the bacon and egg pizza and I had the french toast and both were amazing. We ate at the bar and Marcello could not have been more helpful and gracious. Great atmosphere, delicious food, knowledgeable and friendly staff - will definitely be back!! read more

Visted Posto with a group of 12. We were crammed up against a wall but the food and service were still great.

Been here once-- I would say pizza is definitely very good, atmosphere is nice, but overall, just too overpriced for pizza.. $15 or more for a 1 person serving is a bit much considering that the ingredients of pizza are really cheap. Also, had tiramisu too and that wasn't very good at all. It was a huge slice (think half of a cake size), but very tasteless. In general, if someone else were paying, I would gladly go back and be excited about it but I wouldn't go back otherwise. Final tip is, it gets very crowded on weekdays and weekends, better make a reservation if you can. read more

5 stars for service 4 stars for semi-soggy pizza We got: -caesar salad- delicious with an anchovy on top. light citrus flavor and not creamy -olive plate- good if sharing, too salty for one person -rosemary bread- could've done without. They use the pizza dough and some parts were waaaay to salty - salumi pizza- delicious toppings!! Somewhat crispy crust, But the middle got real soggy and required knife and forking. Very impressed with the service. Restaurant manager runs a tight ship! All the servers were always running around cleaning or setting tables. Water service was excellent! Our water glass was always full. Would definitely come back read more

I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. I'm really glad that Posto is hitting its stride, as it's a major add to Davis Square. The pizza is excellent, probably the best in the Somerville-Cambridge area (particularly the Trentino, though it's hard to go wrong) and the prices are reasonable. Great wine selection if that interests you. The brunch is also excellent. The service has been really good of late and really friendly. Nice low-light atmosphere, so it's great for a date night on a summer evening. Only critique is that sometime it's a bit loud, but they had turned down the music last time. read more

I love mussels! And, Posto knows how to prepare mussels! But, if it's pizza you're craving ... look no further. You will not be disappointed. As close to authentic Italian pizza as you can ever get on this side of the pond. Order the Margherita with arugula. Simple but truly delicious! read more

We have been back multiple times now and I do love this place! They've really kept the quality high since they've been opened. Our service has always been great. The food is all delicious. I don't think I've had one thing that was even mediocre here. I've had some pizzas, the gnocchi, various appetizers. All very good! Very nice wine list as well. Definitely make a reservation on friday and the weekends (even if you're going at 9:30, they're still packed!). Great family place (though few kids are there later), great date spot or a great place for a large group of friends! Highly recommend! read more

We really enjoyed it here. Rainy night on our way to a concert at The Somerville Theatre - geat venue! - and glad we decided to reserve her. We were a half-hour late and no problemo. Our waiter, Miro, was terrific, just...very good at his job, a natural. We started w/ the (I can't remember the name!!) lasagna-type app which was excellent, would have that as an entree in a minute, good pasta, sauce, great cheese, nice size for sharing. The goat cheese bruschetta was pretty good as well, could b a bit more size-wise, for a bruschetta. Like the nice, rustic breadsticks they bring out 1st as well... We shared the seafood tortellini on Miro's suggestion and they were terrific, very flavorful, nice sauce...we picked the veggie pizza which I thought was pretty, pretty good as well. Obviously they are paying attention in the kitchen. Nice crust, cheese...if this place were closer by we'd def be in more often. The hostess even took our soppin' umbrellas. Nice space, good vibe, busy, but they seem to have things under control. A solid go-to in Davis Square, not exactly a dinin' desert, but this place is particularly groovy. read more

Great food and fun to go with friends or family. There is outdoor seating in the summer which is great! The inside is really pretty with high ceilings. You can get 1/2 portions which is key, and splitting a salad and pizza with a friend is a great meal idea! read more

Cramped inside and loud, but the atmosphere was cool and the food was amazing. Definitely a spot I'd go back to.

There's something to be said for the unexpected burger. Sure, you can walk in to just about any pub, fast food place or middle of the road restaurant and order a burger and be reasonably sure of what to expect in size, flavor and price. At Posto in the Davis Square neighborhood of Somerville, the pizza is the star attraction, along with a healthy dose of all things Italian-American. Normally if/when I order a burger at a place that doesn't specialize in burgers it feels as if I'm ordering off the kids menu. While I may have received a few glances in my direction that screamed, "what are you a moron? Why did you order a burger at a pizza place?" The end result turned out to be a very delicious and exceedingly enjoyable burger. The Pork Steak Burger is a $15 behemoth of a meal, nicely presented on a cutting board complete with a large cone of rosemary sea salt fries, housemade pickles and the always amusing ramekin of Heinz ketchup. The burger is sandwiched between the hit-or-miss Brioche, which works in its favor this time, despite being a tad on the crumbly side and a hair too large, it does a great job of being a wall to the inevitable juices and traps them all in. The blend of short ribs, sirloin and pork is one of the more flavorful burger blends I've come across. The pork is not as predominant a component as I would have hoped for, however, it does lend a good deal of fat that makes the burger (along with the fatty short rib) if it is largely undetectable on its own. The patty is beautifully cooked, medium-rare to rare all the way through, it's very juicy and has a distinct and powerful meaty flavor profile. It's well seasoned, and the accompanied roasted tomatoes and arugula add both texture and acidity and give the burger a nice quasi-Italian flair. The cheddar is melted, gooey and has a presence without taking anything away from the meat. The fries are flawed, very salty and limp. They are perfumed with fresh rosemary but can't hold a candle to the burger. For $15 the Posto burger isn't exactly a steal, but I enjoyed it far more than the pizza, which is what they are known for. Sometimes a great burger can be in a place where you least expect it. Let them make fun of you for not ordering "what you're supposed to," but enjoy the benefits of a very enjoyable burger. read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere. We came here with another couple and started off with two different kinds of bruschetta: the tomato and goat cheese, and the apple and gorgonzola. Both were wonderful. For the main course we split two pizzas between the four of us: the pizza of the day which was had gorgonzola crema, pears, caramelized onions and arugula (same as their apple pizza, but with pears instead). The second pizza was Scampi, which has fior di latte, shrimp, tomatoes, garlic, spinach, basil and a lemon vinaigrette. Both pizzas were good, but the overall consensus was that the pizza of the day was the favorite. For desert each couple split a cannoli: YUM. Our waitress was attentive and funny, the lighting was perfect and there are floor to ceiling windows to create a bigger atmosphere (though the view of Elm St in Davis sq leaves much to be desired). I would definitely go back. read more

It was ok...like one reviewer said it has a nice ambiance, decent food but overpriced. I am also a somewhat picky eater, don't eat red meat or pork and found a hard time finding something that wasn't too expensive and I liked. I want to go back because it is a nice atmosphere but I don't want to pay so much for food I am not crazy about. Service was decent. read more

The pizzas are unique and amazing (in my experience, at least). Super thin crusts, delicious toppings, generous size. Adorable thin and crunchy bread sticks (twigs?). Interesting decor - not that it matters much to me. read more

Great Italian food in Somerville. Great pizza and roasted chicken was great. Not big on drinks . Service was friendly and attentive

Since the management changed posto has been nothing but amazing. I can't delete my prior review but I can encourage you to stop in.

Inviting atmosphere,impeccable service, interesting food presentation and flavors await at Posto. We were late for our reservation, but were still seated immediately when we arrived, although the Friday night crowd was beginning to settle in. Water and tasty breadsticks were brought to the table. The red wine Sangria, which was served in a large glass pitcher was ambrosial, the flavors of the wine, brandy, and ginger melded together perfectly. The salumi was paper thin and surrounded by marinated vegetables. Caesar salad was light, with crunchy croutons. We came especially for the pizza, and were not disappointed. The brick-oven imparts a slight smoky taste. The crust was not as crisp as we like but it didn't take away from the flavor. The chili-pepper olive oil is extremely spicy, so watch out if you prefer mild flavors. We didn't plan on having dessert until we saw some at another table. I had the tiramisu, it was fluffy and flavorful. The apple crostini was topped with cinnamon ice cream, which was a perfect complement. The coffee was delicious, verifying why they say Lavazza is Italy's favorite. Obviously Posto is more expensive than your local pizza place, but it's definitely worth it. The general manager stopped by our table and asked how everything was. We assured him we'll return. I can't wait to try the fish, it looked amazing! read more

Went here for a relaxing summer meal and was not disappointed. Was expecting a long wait, but lucked out and had a table outside immediately. Large selection of craft beer from New England and my Tagliatelle with veal/pork meat sauce was excellent in both taste and was one of only a handful of $20 pasta plates that backed it up in taste and quantity! read more

Came here for a date night the Friday after Christmas. Was lucky enough to be slower because of the holiday and got seated right away. Usually that will never happen. Got a great bottle of wine with dinner. Had the tortellini. It was amazing with the butternut squash. Also had the tiramisu for dessert and it was a perfect size to share between two people. Definitely will try to go again maybe with a reservation though. read more

One of my favorite pizza places. The place is also super cool with a nice atmosphere. We had like 3 different pizzas and they were all delicious. They also have other things on the menu but we went for the pizza. read more

Posto does it right. The food, the service, the atmosphere are all excellent, and the price is very fair. I just plain love eating here! This is my favorite spot in Somerville for dinner when friends are in town, or dinner with my sweetie. It's THE best pizza in Somerville. I also love their salads, the calamari with Peroni on tap is heaven on earth, and the carbonara is a must. Their special events are always so well thought out and often feature great wines. I love you, Posto!!!! read more

Yum yum! I stopped by on the way home with a friend and had a lovely dinner together! We both had pizza (and only pizza, so I can't comment on the other reviewers' issues with drinks/pastas). The pizzas were delicious! The crusts were perfectly cooked and the toppings were authentic and tasty. The prices were a bit higher than I was hoping for, but the atmosphere was nice and the decor classy. I'd definitely classify it as a first/second date location, probably not the place my bf and I will crash for cozy food, but where I'll tell my friends to take someone that they just met. Its trendy without trying too hard and if you get bored you can always stare into the wood fire. :-) read more

Bar area is nice, and we went in June so the windows were open, which made it nice and airy. It isn't a very quiet place, but it isn't rowdy either - lively would be the right word I think. Active bar area with a couple of TVs for the sports enthusiasts. Completely open kitchen gave this place a fun feel. Wine selection was good - servings in glasses, half bottles, and full bottles. Reasonably priced. Calamari was great - not too breaded, not too chewy, and not burnt - fantastic. The sauce it was served with was pomodoro (seemed heavy on the white wine). We also got the pig ears, which just tasted fried and salty - not too much actual flavor. The pasta we tried was homemade and delicious. The carbonara sauce was Very rich without being overly salty. Pasta was cooked well (not too hard, not mushy). Pizza (calabrese) was also great - good crust, good sauce, good cheese, fresh basil. Quality ingredients that made me happy. Tiramisu for dessert was delic - soft and fluffy with lots of flavor - high marks from me. Service was great - we never felt neglected. Manager was fantastic - very attentive and accomodating. Food came out fast but we didn't feel rushed. read more

It's between a 2 and a 3. The interior is really nice and the wood oven is incredible. The bar area has a great set-up too. The food itself was really pretty good. I liked the pizza and it came out of the over very fast. The red wine was served very cold for some reason..which wasn't good. The biggest drawback was the service and general feel of the staff. Many of them seems pretty cold and less than welcoming and a short time after our food arrived, we were asked if we were done several times by several different people. They seemed like they were rushing us out to use the table. It took a lot away from the dining experience. read more

Luuuuuuuuurve this place!! I took my boyfriend to Posto for dinner a few weeks ago and now he suggests it every time we are debating where to go! I'm gunning for a table with our names on it! For apps, the meatballs and flatbread are phenomenal. I also enjoyed the salmon carpaccio special, which was perfectly seasoned, not to vinegar-y and not at all fishy. I have not tried the pastas because I am addicted to the pizzas. While I was initially drawn to the more creative pizzas like the roasted peach and pork, I've learned that the good old margherita is by far the best. The crust is perfectly chewy and the tomatoes and cheese are to die for. For drinks, the wine list is fantastic. If you are interested in cocktails, I recommend the peach sangria. On a side note, we attempted to hit Kickass Cupcakes to round out our decadent meal and it was closed on Sunday night. Never fear - JP Licks ice cream saved the day! read more

I went to Posto for the first time tonight. There were 5 of us celebrating a birthday. We had a reservation at 6 and were seating exactly at 6 which was nice to see. The drinks came out slowly, as did the pizza. But we were enjoying bottles of wine so didn't really notice. In exchange for the wait, they gave us 2 desserts and 2 services of gelato for free. Pizza was great, and so were the free desserts. Great atmosphere. Lively but not loud. read more

Nice atmosphere, cool looking place. They have the nearly $100 bottle of Brunello served by the glass for $20, which according to my wife is very rare for this caliber of wine to be sold by the glass. We had the calamari. Very good, well seasoned, large portion, we disagreed on the sauce, I thought that it did not add anything to the dish. We split a sausage pizza and a half portion of gnocchi. The gnocchi was excellent, the braised beef short rib was succulent and just fell apart into the port and Parmesan cream sauce. This was one of the best dishes that I have ever had in the Boston area. The pizza was below average, which is ironic, because we came here for the pizza. The pizza had too many thick stalks of broccoli rabe on it. It tasted like chili pepper flacks were burned or scorched. The pizza reminded me of something out of Sardinia, which is the region/island of Italy with bad food. It also doesn't have crumbled sausage like we were promised, just big chunks of average sausage. We wanted to get dessert, but are only choices were the old stand by tiramisu, a cup of gelato, or a cannoli. What a snore. Nothing creative and nothing that we felt like trying. The good service, atmosphere and the gnocchi will be enough to make us come back for another visit, but please add something to that dessert menu! read more

Super delish, but a little pricey for a pizza. I would give 5 stars for a great wine list, super fresh ingredients (they make the mozz cheese on site everyday), good veg selection, fun atmosphere and friendly service. But, I'm giving 4 stars because for a pizza for one person, $18 is a little steep. I mean, this is Somerville, people! Will def be back for girls' night or a date with the hubby. read more

Was recently contacted by the owner of Posto in response to my review. I really appreciated the concern about my bad experience and will update my review if/when I have a chance to go back. read more

Started with a blood orange martini,then the meatball pizza and a canolli for dessert,everything was amazing!! The atmosphere is really nice too,definitely the best spot in Davis! read more

As I said before, after my first experience at Posto, which didn't end pleasantly, I was contacted by both the owner and the front of house manager. They invited me back in for another shot, so I wanted to give an update. Like last time, the food was very good. In fact, I wasn't in the mood for pizza this time around so I opted for the Hangar steak, medium rare. I'm being perfectly honest by saying it came out blood rare, but since I'd rather have red meat slightly undercooked than even one minute overcooked, I didn't gripe. The seasoning was outstanding, as was the fresh arugula and mushroom salad that came with it. I really enjoyed it. One of my friends had a pizza with sausage, another with meatball, and my third friend got tortellini with crabmeat, really delicious. Everyone was happy with their selections. We did opt to get the rosemary bread and found it sort of odd that it didn't come out cut up in any way. We had to use our hands to break it apart, which can be really intimate and nice, or can be kind of gross, depending on who your dining companions are. I took other posters' advice and tried the gin gin mule (and I don't even drink gin) and I have to say, they were right. It was a really stellar drink. So I'll give Pizzeria Posto four stars because the whole experience for me has yet to earn five stars. It is undeniable that the prices are high, and I get that good quality food comes at a price, but it's a real factor for consideration these days. For four of us, our bill came to about $175. I am not saying the food isn't worth it, but you have to be ready to shell out if you want to enjoy this eatery. The service was pleasant both times I've been, which is always the most important, but both times the attentiveness has died off halfway through the meal. It's a busy restaurant, but still working out the kinks. On my budget, this restaurant is splurge only, but I was appreciative to the owner and manager for taking action to right the wrongs of my first experience there. That is evidence that there is great care taken to make diners happy, which is nice. read more

Great pizza! Atmosphere is cozy and date like!
