Last Thursday, Gary and I went out with our friends Steph and the Chef to Posto.
It was Dining Out for Life night, where restaurants donated a percentage of their profits to the worthy organization Food and Friends. Posto, and their sister restaurant Tosca, donated a full 100 percent of their sales that evening to the cause. Well done, Posto!
We got there early, which was good because by 6 p.m. the restaurant was packed, and loud. After getting a nice bottle of wine, we decided to order an appetizer...Pizza!
After reading a review that said the pizza at Posto was not very good, I was a bit leery. But we needed to try some pizza for research purposes, of course, so we all split a pie called the "caprina." It had tomato sauce, goat cheese, roasted peppers, mozzarella, and cherry tomatoes--an appetizing combination.
Since I went into it with such low expectations, I was plesantly surprised. I found it to be a pretty reasonable pie.
Gary was a bit chagrined that he bit into a slice and a cherry tomato exploded all over him. He wiped his cheek and lips, looked around the restaurant to make sure no one noticed, and then continued eating.
He thought the first slice (the one with the exploding tomato) tasted bland, but the second slice he was able to taste a good combination of goat cheese, tomato sauce and peppers.
Overall, I thought the pizza was flavorful and the crust was decent. I wouldn't call it the best pizza in the city, but it certainly wasn't the worst. (How's that for a wishy washy review?)

Nice blog - I went to school in DC and I'm sorry I missed so many places. I'm starting a similar blog for the Rochester, NY area and would like to exchange links. If you'd like to, please email me.
I found the food very good and the atmosphere inside far more appealing than from only seeing Posto outside. I also love the sign of the Posto, for its blod, clear & clean font. :)
Thanks,
