We had a lovely late night meal here on a warm night in September after an Amalfi coast boat trip. We were staying at Hotel Marincanto, steps away, and noticed the crowd every time we walked by. The servers were friendly and let us buy a bottle of wine as we waited. We were seated at a nice table overlooking the ocean, which was adjacent to the street and on a slight hill. Husband had the seafood platter, which was filled with shrimp, mussels, cod, calamari and various fish items. He devoured it. I had the shrimp risotto which was tender and very good, albeit a bit small in portion size. We really enjoyed this restaurant and recommend it. read more

You're basically here for the view and not the food, that's for sure. But because I did want the iconic view of Positano, we came here for lunch and luckily got seated outside with the perfect view. To start off, I got the Limoncello Spritz (€15) and a Grilled Fish of the Day (€25). Everything was so overpriced and just mediocre. The portions are also tiny. My grilled fish seemed sad on a bed of lettuce. At least the service was quick though, so we were in and out within half an hour. This was good since we were limited on time being here on a bus tour stop only. All I have to say is come here expecting expensive and sufficient food, but worth for the view if you get an outdoor table. read more

Actually my favorite restaurant here!!! The food and views are amazing!!! The drinks were alright. Everything else you as great! The staff were so kind!!! There's outdoor and indoor seating. The view is amazing. We made a reservation here but we also noticed some people walk up and get a seat if they came at the right timing. It was less busy because we were here in October (less busy season). We ordered two seafood dishes that I still think about! My only regret was not eating here a few more times. I had a list of popular restaurants I wanted to try so we didn't get a chance. Overall, I highly recommend this spot. The only thing I will say, it was a spot where they did seem like they were trying to flip the tables fairly quickly. So you might be rushed here compared to other restaurants. As long as you're ordering, stilll eating, and have food on your plate you should be fine. read more

Great meal at Bruno! For appetizers, we split the caprese salad and grilled vegetables. Both were great! For my main, I had the gnocchi with seafood. This was prepared well. The gnocchi was quite light and there was bountiful seafood. My husband had the fish in lemon sauce, which I got to try. The lemon sauce was heavenly!! Only thing is that if you want a seaside view, to make reservations in advance! read more

Bruno was recommended to us by a friend, and we made reservations 2 weeks in advance. At that point, the only time available was 6:00pm- definitely reserve early if you want a specific time. The outdoor seating is across the street from the actual restaurant, by a railing overlooking the sea. Many places in Positano had nice dinner views, but this was one of the best. However, the tables are adjacent to a busy road so there will be lots of people and vehicles passing you while you enjoy your meal. The music they played was interesting. It started with some quiet jazzy music fitting for a romantic meal, but switched to a bizarre assortment of Bruno Mars, Shania Twain, and Abba covers. I started with a lemon sorbet and Prosecco spritz, which was perfectly refreshing after walking through the hills of Positano. We got the mussels for an appetizer and i would highly recommend them! It probably took an hour from the time we ordered our entree until they brought it out. We didn't mind the wait, but the website said they had a strict 90 minute per table policy. Fortunately, this was not enforced. We ordered a bottle of wine and the staff didn't seem super knowledgeable. We asked which of 3 bottles was the most dry and the waiter said they were all the same. The wine we ended up choosing was very good. For my meal, I had the catch of the day (sea bass) in lemon sauce, which was very light and good. As I said previously, they did not enforce the 90 minute time limit for us, so we had time to order dessert. I had the lemon tiramisu and it did not disappoint. I tried some of my husband's regular tiramisu which was good as well. They had Nutella rolls listed on the menu that we had hoped to try, but they told us those were only for lunch and they weren't going to make any more. In that case, I'm not sure why they were on the dinner menu. After dessert, they even asked if we wanted coffee before bringing the check, and I was glad we didn't feel like we were being rushed out. When they brought the check, they did mention that service was not included (hinting for a tip) which I found strange considering that is not the norm in Italy. Overall, we had a very nice meal at Bruno. There were a few hiccups in our experience, but we would still recommend a visit, even just for the view. read more

Amazing location. Splendid views of the Amalfi coast. The food is fresh and full of flavor. A must stop for a romantic getaway. Reasonably priced, but obviously a bit more than the inland. read more

Dined at Bruno twice during my stay in Positano and the food was tasty. The view of the ocean was amazing and the service was decent. Both nights I had the lobster pasta, which for the price had a decent portion of lobster in the shell, along with a healthy portion of pasta. Both nights my friend and I asked the waiter for a white wine recommendation to pair with our food and he was very helpful. I believe the wine was eight euros. The first night we went we arrived close to closing, and they quickly helped to accommodate us and get our orders in before the kitchen closed. The second night we went, we received a different type of service we had to repeatedly ask our waitress for bread, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. We also had to ask for water and honestly, we felt a bit ignored so that took away from the experience on the second night. We expected better treatment. This restaurant is a little pricey but I'm sure you're paying for the view as you are overlooking the ocean. It's a nice spot for dinner for couples or friends and I would recommend somebody trying there at least once, but be aware that the service may be subpar. read more

We absolutely loved this spot. Service was amazing. Everyone is nice and helpful. Food was delicious! We had the spaghetti and meatballs and the lobster pasta. The lemon beer I had here had me hooked wanting more. Don't forget the views. Some of the best views in positano while dining. It's definitely on the more expensive side but you get what you pay for. read more

Great views of the city and water. The waiter took a very long time to get our order and then extremely long to deliver the food. Longest wait so far in over a week in Italy. The pasta alle vongole was delicious, we also tried the zucchini one with cheese- stick with the alle vongole. Wanted the tiramisu but it was sold out. Bit overpriced. But that's Positano. read more

Fantastic spot for a pizza stop along our walk through Positano. I chose the Caprese pizza & hubs got the margherita pizza. Both were delicious with a well baked crust. Our service was speedy and proactive. The restaurant was clean & well put together. Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely return. read more

Excellent food and an amazing view. A great place for lunch or dinner. The only downside is that the sun can be pretty intense and in your eyes around lunchtime. It was recommended by our AB&B host and it did not disappoint. read more

Ordered: Calamaretto Fritto (~€25) Tartara di Tonno (~€25) Pasta Polpetta (~€32) Panna Cotta (~€7) Aya's take: If you want the iconic view of Positano, you sit outside. If you don't care, you'll be served inside probably faster (especially during peak dinner hours). The Calamaretto Fritto was fresh, crispy, and salty. Probably some of the best I had in Italy. However, for ~€25, the portion was small. On the other hand, the Tartara di Tonno was probably some of the worst I had. Why are there apples and carrots mixed with tuna? It didn't sit right with me. There were also strawberries on the plate which didn't make any sense. The whole dish seemed like a cluster of ingredients that didn't mesh together. The Pasta Polpetta was very hearty and filling. We ended off with the Panna Cotta which was light with good vanilla flavor. Pretty solid overall! read more

Foods decent but the staff is what makes it!! They are truly like family and the outside is beautiful

The food was amazing! Best pasta we had during our Italy trip. The view was amazing! There were open tables next to the view, but we were told we couldn't sit there. The service was good, but came off annoyed when we asked for the restroom, and closer seats. Overall food was great, view was pretty, and service was okay. read more

Wonderful location with an incredible view and great food. Came here for dinner last night upon recommendation from my hotels front desk. The backdrop is the hills of positano. I highly recommend coming in the evening when the tourism has died down. Service was great as well. I ordered the seafood pasta with clams and mussels (great) my friend ordered the sea bass and eggplant pasta and she was happy as well. Would recommend for a scenic and great quality meal. read more

F this place. Two plate minimum. I wasn't just eating. I was drinking wine too but they said nope. Idiots.

We stayed in Positano this past week and went to Bruno 2 nights! We are last minute people and we had no problem sneaking in for a late dinner (930) both nights! The staff is soooo nice and seated outside is lowkey the best view in Positano even after sunset. You literally walk by Francos with a line out the door with people waiting to spend 45 euro for an espresso martini to Brunos with the exact same view, reasonable prices, accommodating staff, and no wait. We went early in our vacation as recommended by our air bnb host and loved it so much we decided to revisit. They remembered us and happily welcomed us - so friendly! Not to mention the food was delicious! read more

When you go to Italy to have pasta, this is the pasta you expect! I had an absolutely delicious meal with stunning views! The pasta was incredibly fresh and the fish -- terrific! It was so delicate and full of flavor. The fresh tomatoes were some of the best o ever had, and of course I had to pair it with an aperol spritz! The staff was so hospitable and let me occupy my table until sunset hit to capture this stunning photo. I highly recommend Bruno if you're ever in Positano! read more

My parents and friends went to eat here and both experienced horrible service. Both waiters brought them the wrong meal, and insisted they pointed to that item on the menu which was incorrect. They were all convinced this place is a scam to take advantage of tourists. No apologies from the waiters. Don't recommend this place, there's plenty of other beautiful and nicely staffed restaurants in the area. read more

We enjoyed our final dinner in Positano at Bruno. It was very close to our hotel and we were tired from hiking, so it was a great option for us. We didn't have a reservation and it was small and busy. They were able to sit us at a table on the restaurant side of the street. Fair warning, if you sit where we did, cars drive by close. We asked for a wine recommendation based on a previous wine I enjoyed and ordered food based on our server's recommendations. We got the gnocchi Sorrentino and the frutti di mare pasta and both were incredible. read more

We came on a really busy night without a reservation. We got a table inside so we couldn't dine with a view but after waiting so long, we would take anything. I thought the food was average, nothing exceeded my expectations. For starters, we got the lemon oil infused shrimp and we shared a gnocchi sorrentina for dinner. We sat in a corner all the way in the back of the room so we felt a little forgotten but to be fair it was a busy night for them. read more

Good tasting food and great service. Even though the place was busy and weather was iffy they were able to accommodate us inside.

A lot of people had reservations but I didn't and was still able to get a nice table outside with a beautiful view. It was warm today but cooler with the shade/umbrellas. The food was delicious. We ordered linguine and clams and another seafood pasta dish with tomatoes. Highly recommend!! read more

My fiancé and I were in Italy during the month of September. Positano beach was actually where I proposed, right after an early dinner at Bruno. Would definitely recommend getting some tables outside, as the views are amazing. It wasn't too busy at the time we went so the waiters were pretty attentive. The food in my opinion was phenomenal. I got the scialatielli ai frutti di mare (seafood pasta) and I loved it. My fiancé and friends also loved their food. Drinks were pretty average, nothing extraordinary, but the food and views are enough for the 5 stars. Tips: Make reservations, since the tables outside fill up quick If you're looking forward to nice pictures I'd recommend going before 5/5:30 (when the sun is above the mountain) or after like 6:30 (when its completely behind the mountain). When the sun is starting to set behind the mountain the sun rays get in the way when taking pictures. read more

We had a great experience here! Overall pretty affordable for Positano and we had great service. We reserved a table a few weeks before our trip and did get a great table outside with a view. For dinner we had the gnocchi with seafood and fish of the day, both were really yummy! I think this is a great affordable option for dinner in Positano and the view is amazing. The only reason I am going with 4 stars is because compared to some other meals we had on our trip this just wasn't a stand out, but again I think this is a great dinner choice for the price point if you are looking for a good bite that is affordable. read more

Terrible.... Nothing here was good. Bread was stale, pasta not good and salad was just lettuce with a lemon. We were all very disappointed

I was brought the wrong meal. They said they would bring the correct meal. I waited for 20 min while other tables were being served. I kept asking and I was ignored I finally said cancel the order and they gave me a look and they said "ok canceled". No apology. No explanation. Nothing. read more

I was so upset that when we came around 4pm and wanted to sit at one of the tables with a view instead of sitting at a high top table that has some covering over the side, they said that the other tables are not for 2 tops. However the longer we sat, then some 2 tops were given that table. I had the pasta with shrimp and olives and it was so salty. It was so disappointing because it wasn't very tasty either. It was so disappointing that the pasta wasn't good and the service was not good either. It was hard to get a waiter's attention and they weren't friendly. The prices were also high. read more

If you're ever in Positano, check out Bruno! This restaurant had some of the best pesto pasta I've ever had in my life! We also had the lemon and herb fish, and it was really good. The staff here was very patient with us and answered any questions we had concerning the menu. You can also make reservations if you want to secure a spot at dinner time, as it gets pretty packed in the evenings. The views from the restaurant were amazing. I really enjoyed my time here read more

Was staying in the hotel next door, so we decided to hit all of the restaurants on Via Cristoforo & compare which ones were best. Bruno was quite the letdown. First off, the food wasn't terrible. The calamari fritti tasted fine but was crust-heavy. Tried all the pasta dishes & they just weren't memorable. The service was not exceptional, either. I will say that the view* makes up for it, if you manage to get al fresco (*Every building on this block has the same view) However, at least it wasn't terribly expensive, considering we got what we paid for. All-in-all, it's basically theme park-food. Come for the sights & sound but send the taste buds next door to Don Giovanni. read more

Amazing! The food, the views and the service here are outstanding! I had the clams and mussels. My husband had the pasta carbonara. Both of us were absolutely impressed with this place! In fact, my husband said, "this is the best pasta dish I've had in Italy, maybe even in my whole life." My mussels and clams dish was insanely delicious! I was so happy with how the flavors and textures came together that I wanted to just pick up my bowl and slurp up the juices at the bottom, but since that would probably be frowned upon, I dipped my bread in it too! Haha! The service was good too. I loved that I could see Positano from the street as I dined here. The views are just heavenly and absolutely unforgettable. read more

The food was great and the setting amazing. Wonderful service. Two stars based on the horrendous drink they passed off as an aperol spritz. It came in a plastic cup and had three sips in it (it was packed to the brim with ice). I get paying a premium for food and drinks based on location, but this felt like I was being taken advantage of. No one likes being screwed. Charge more and make a proper drink or just come out and say you're taking advantage of your customers. read more

I was shocked that our resort host recommended Bruno out of all the restaurants along this street. It was probably my least favorite out of everywhere my husband and I ate on our Italian honeymoon. At least it was close to where we stayed in Positano. First of all, the staff here is dismissive and NOT attentive. My husband informed me of Italian etiquette where wait staff don't pay a ton of attention to their customers and let them stay as long as they want, but even so, I didn't feel welcome in this establishment. For dinner, I decided to take a break from pasta and try the steak with garlic, parsley, chili flakes, and olive oil. And a glass of red wine, of course. The steak was not great, overall like something I could just throw together at home. (And I don't cook, which is saying something.) Even if wait staff aren't stopping by the table every 10 minutes to check on us, they could at least scan the room once in awhile instead of milling about and ignoring customers. I had to practically get up from my seat to get someone's attention. And when they engage with us, it was cold... Like why are you in this industry? All that to say, of course I wouldn't come here again or recommend this place. It's one thing for our waiter to be having a bad day, but that attitude seemed to be apparent in everyone. How unfortunate since we wanted to feel happy on our honeymoon. read more

Bruno might be one of my only 3 star reviews from Italy. It just wasn't *that* special. In all fairness my order was pretty basic -- tomato and mozzarella to start and ravioli pomodoro for a main. The mozzarella was supposed to be buffalo, but wasn't very creamy or fresh. It was reminiscent of packaged mozz that I get from the supermarket at home. The tomatoes also weren't super fresh and were a little green. Ravioli was also very lackluster and this was honestly a little reminiscent of Chef Boyardee. Service also wasn't great. They have a large outdoor seating section across the street and they seemed to just forget about us. The views are great outside, but you do have to sacrifice good service for that. Dessert was also a bummer. We ordered gelato, and they did not specify that it was covered in hazelnuts and chocolate. Nuts are an allergen, so this should certainly be written on the menu. Ironically enough, the table next to us was having the very same issue due to the unforeseen chocolate. If I have a next trip to Positano I'd probably opt to skip this spot. read more

Very disappointing and incredibly over priced. 2 of 3 meals delivered first, then a long wait for the 3rd while others got cold. Everyone's food average, not terrible but just ok. Staff was inattentive, still the host asked that we leave a tip when paying the bill. While we always do, that is not customary in Italy and out of line to actually request. Compare to dinners in Florence, 2.5x the price and poor quality. Try elsewhere in Positano. read more
