Our first dinner in Positano--and what a way to arrive! We were jet-lagged, starving, and more than…read moreready for a good meal, and Ristorante Max completely delivered. The restaurant itself is beautiful, almost like dining inside an art gallery, with artwork and gorgeous details everywhere. But what really stood out was the service. I asked if they could make me a lemon pasta that wasn't on the menu, and they actually made one especially for me. It was OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious. The eggplant parmigiana was another showstopper--so ridiculously good that it honestly ruined everything else for us because we kept comparing every subsequent bite to it! The bread was so good, the wine was wonderful, and we finished with their famous Delizia al Limone, a gorgeous Amalfi-style lemon cake. The perfect ending to our first night in Positano.

Our best restaurant experience in positano! we ate here both nights…read more After wandering around the first night and receiving a recommendation from someone at the Sirenuse hotel to check out Max for some good pasta, we decided to give it a try. So happy we did. The bread basket alone was the first indicator - they had such an array of options and all of it was warm and fresh - the focaccia was literally the best I've ever had, it was oily and salty in itself, and so rich to snack on before the food arrived The mozzarella Caprese was so fresh and delicious. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe, the cheese was clearly fresh and highly quality. Only available in Italy like that for sure. I tried the sea bass the first night - amazing. Falls off the fork it's cooked so tenderly, and the lemon sauce, everything was perfect. The second night, i had the lasagna which was also incredible and so visually stunning, just this round pasta in layers of gooey cheese, meat and sauce. On the first night My friend had the seafood pasta wjicj she was raving about, on the second night she had the pasta trio which wasn't worth ordering. Everything else was seriously amazing and the prices weren't insane despite positano being the most expensive leg of the trip. Totally would come back.

She said we had to get the beef and wine pasta - which we did and which was pretty good! Also quite enjoyed the grilled mozzarella cheese appetizer. Their spaghetti with meatballs was not our favorite. Atmosphere is more bar like than fine dining. But they had a fine outside patio and we were hungry! This place is right at the bottom of the stairs form the church. Can't miss it.

Lovely restaurant on the beach in Positano…read more Quality seafood and fresh pastas. They bring complimentary heart shaped appetizers to your table. We ordered 3 different spritz. The service was great. The staff brought the fish out on a platter to help us determine what we wanted to order. My friends ordered the fish for 2 and I enjoyed the lobster pasta. The only challenge was getting the lobster out of the shell and not spilling on my dress :)

The food was excellent and the service was better than expected, given how busy it was. And of course, being on the beach was great. They do great gluten-free pasta, but no gluten-free pizza is available. So it turns out that you can do great food and service at a tourist trap restaurant.

In terms of food, Li Galli was by far our favorite dinner of the three we had in Positano (also…read morewent to Zass and La Sponda)! The interior is very sleek and modern, there are only six tables, tables and chairs are all black, and you are essentially dining inside a giant glass box overlooking the ocean - super cool!

This will be my top recommendation for anyone who comes to Positano.

I must say, the environment was fancy, the decorations - pleasant to behold, and the view - stunning. However, the primary roots of my two out of five stars comes with the attentiveness of the servers and the portion size of the food. The Caprese salad was wonderful, the tomatoes were well seasoned and the buffalo mozzarella was very delicious. The bread that they served was also soft, fluffy, and yummy. Our entrées consisted of pasta, Seabass, and red mullet, after waiting 30 minutes for our entrées we were shocked to behold that not much food was given, and we were left feeling hungrier than when we had arrived. The red mullet fillet was perhaps 1 ounce and came with four individual muscles, enough to satisfy a mouse or perhaps a small Chihuahua. The Seabass fillets were substantial, however, they were paired with two thin slices of zucchini, and four small individual russet potatoes, again enough for a camping portion when you are in the mountains. The pasta was good though! All in all, although the servers were nice, we did have to wait quite some time to be served and to receive the check, the food was good tasting, but the portion sizes diminished the experience and left us hungry. Hungry enough, perhaps, to purchase four full-size pizzas immediately after leaving this establishment. Which we did. Because we were still hungry, and this is not to add to the typical stereotype that Americans eat a ton of food, just the entrées were quite puny and the price point was high enough to set our expectations very high. This is a long review, and I would like for it to be communicated that this is purely not harsh feedback but rather constructive criticism based upon our experience. I bid you farewell and good day!

This place is mainly a wine bar and we didn't get the wine so it could be on us! Burrata Appetizer was really good, fresh tomatoes and arugula. They gave you bread/oil vinegar for free which is nice. Carbonara was really good and had shaved truffles on it The stuffed Cannolini and it was extremely smokey and the cheese inside became kind of tough and gummy, it was the only thing I would not order again. Overall the place was solid and I wish I got to try some wines. Next time Wouldn't recommend since there were better spots.
