    I had this place saved to get some good dessert on Amalfi and it did not disappoint!…read more Gelato from the booth opposite the main location and a cannoli from the actual cafe. Cannoli was decent - crunchy shell with creamy filling, but I've had better Cannoli in Rome. Gelato was delicious! Proper creamy and actually authentic! Got the Cioccolato con Caco del Madagascar (basically a chocolate gelato) + Ricotta Stregata (a ricotta flavor) in a cone. It was a really lovely combination and so perfect for a hot day.

    A local classic, this caffe and pasticceria is one of the most famous (if not the most famous)…read moredessert and pastry shop in Amalfi. This address is the main location along Via Duca Mansone I, they also have a couple other smaller chocolate and gelato boutiques, the closest being diagonally across the piazza in front of the Amalfi Cathedral. Outdoor seating set out on the stone street fronts with a cream and wood color scheme and table umbrellas for shade. The store interior shouts classic European emporium, warm, medium-tone wooden display fixtures and wall paneling with mirrors and glass. A handful of golden chandeliers and pendant lights. Most importantly--many glass displays of pastries, cakes, chocolates, cookies. The staff is forthcoming and friendly, ready to help when I mentioned looking for a snack without certain ingredients. Their English was much better than my (non-existent) Italian. I ended up purchasing a little bag of almond cookies €6, with a texture between almond cake and marzipan, baked in little mini cupcake cup shapes. They were tasty though a little on the sweet side. Prices in the store were pretty typical for Amalfi Coast though I think a little higher than average pasticcerias in other Italian cities. I had planned to drop by again to try their gelato though alas didn't have the chance again when I was there. If I ever go back to Amalfi will drop by again!

    Praise for their delicious melon sorbet made with real melon!…read more After lunch I was craving a little something sweet and Collina looked swarming with customers on a warm spring afternoon, so I peeked in. The cafe is very small, with a counter inside the left entrance for gelato and sorbetto, a larger counter and display case of pastries along the wall inside the right entrance. Seems to be a handful of seats upstairs accessible by a narrow staircase though they looked to be cordoned off that moment. Gelato prices ranged from €3 for a small, single flavor to €5 for medium, €8 for large, €12 for maxi which I'm not quite sure how many scoops that was. The prices were the most reasonable that I saw along the Amalfi Coast in a few towns. After checking out the flavor selection I decided to go with a light sorbetto in melon and it was yummy! It tasted like if really ripe cantaloupe were made into a super smooth smoothie lol. They carried the popular sorbetto al limone (lemon sorbet in a lemon) for €10 too, though in general I heard mixed reviews about this item being overpriced. They offer a bunch of lunch-suitable menu items like simple paninis, pasta, salads and burgers; also some cocktails for €12-13-including an enticing Positano Spritz concocted of prosecco, limoncello, soda, fresh lemon zest. Pastries looked good too though the weather was a little warm for more sweets--their tiramisu cups, cookies, mini tarts and eclairs all looked like solid choices if you're in the mood.

    I know it's touristy and gimmicky, but this was the perfect spot to get the iconic lemon sorbet…read moreinside a hollow lemon. It was pricey at €10, but the sorbet was refreshing and nice on a hot day. They also have a good selection of regular gelato, pastries and drinks too if you want something more reasonable. It's conveniently located in the heart of Positano where you can wander down to the beach or stroll through the shops.

    Posides was one of the most memorable meals of our trip. We had a cozy table for two on the terrace…read moreoverlooking the most stunning Positano views, the kind that make you pause and soak in every moment. The food was outstanding. The Caprese salad was fresh and bursting with flavor, and the prosciutto salad was beautifully balanced with just the right mix of savory and sweet. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The drinks were equally impressive. The house Posides Spritz was refreshing and perfectly balanced made with a cherry liquor, and the limoncello spritz was smooth, bright, and easily one of the best we've had in Italy. We finished with an affogato that was the perfect finale, rich espresso poured over creamy gelato for a sweet, satisfying finish along with the seasonal cake. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening, making the experience feel personal and relaxed. The restaurant is a bit of a walk from the city center with a few stairs to climb, but it's absolutely worth it. The stroll back down afterward is the perfect way to walk off the meal. Between the amazing food, stunning terrace views, and kind service, Posides is a true Positano gem.

    Posides is absolutely one of my favorite places to eat in all of Italy. The brothers who run it,…read morealong with their staff, are so kind, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The space is small and charming, with an open kitchen where you can watch the magic happen. There's limited seating, but it's well worth the wait. The food is incredible; fresh, creative, and full of heart. The cappuccino was perfect, and the carbonara toast was unforgettable. I still think about it. The French toast was another standout, made with thick custardy brioche, fresh berries, and a crème brûlée topping that was absolute perfection. Everything feels local and seasonal, and the menu changes often, which makes every visit special. An amazing spot with a cozy vibe, beautiful plating, and some of the best food I had anywhere in Italy.
