A new wave of food & beverage options is coming to Assembly Row this year including local concepts Posto (5,965 SF) and Toca Chida (5,420SF). Plus, Amelia’s Taqueria (1,490 SF) just opened their fifth, fast-casual location on Revolution Drive next to Mike’s Pastry.
Posto, a longtime Somerville favorite, will open a new takeout market/cafe alongside their full-service dining room. Customers can expect to find Posto staples on the menu including handmade pasta, grilled meats, fish and poultry, and their famous Neapolitan wood-fired pizza. Toca Chida, a full-service restaurant and bar, is the latest culinary venture by Chef and Restaurateur Chris Damian. The restaurant will feature a playful twist on Latin American cuisines, complete with an extensive bar program centered around agave-based spirits.
“Bringing Posto to Assembly Row is a terrific addition for everyone – hotel guests, visitors, shoppers and residents alike,” said David Middleton, Vice President and General Manager of Assembly Row. “We are continuously looking to deliver a healthy mix of local and national concepts to provide a diverse selection for the community. We hope the addition of Posto, Toca Chida and Amelia’s Taqueria give our customers even more reasons to come back and visit.”
In addition to these new tenants, in the past year Assembly Row welcomed the following restaurants, each of which introduced new concepts and cuisines to the neighborhood:
- Pokemoto, Hawaiian style poke bowls, opened March 2024
- An Nam, Vietnamese grill, opened November 2023
- Tribos Peri Peri, inspired by cuisine from Portugal, Mozambique, and Southern Asia, opened Summer 2023
