This was our first meal after arriving in Positano and we couldn't have asked for a better one. We arrived in Positano around 10 PM on a Saturday night. This restaurant was on our itinerary and was a 2 minute walk from our hotel. We walked up around 10:30 and they sat us immediately on the outdoor patio. We ordered grilled octopus to start and it might have been the freshest and tastiest grilled octopus I've ever eaten. We also ordered a spicy green sauce pasta that was top 3 best things we ate on our entire trip. I wish I knew the name of it so that I could mention it here. We also ordered a prosciutto and burrata pizza. My wife isn't a huge fan of prosciutto so she didn't enjoy it as much as I did. But I would happily eat that pizza again and again. The staff were very kind and friendly. They didn't ever seem annoyed that we came in later at night. Every day that we walked past them to go into the main center of Positano, they smiled and invited us back in or asked how we were doing. They don't have the same view that other restaurants might have, but what they lack in a view, they make up for in quality and service.

The top floor restaurant is the one I am talking about. The views from the front windows are excellent. But the view is only a bonus. We were greeted and sat right away. Someone immediately came over and offered us water and menus. The sommelier came over and she was very helpful in selecting a great and affordable wine to go with our meal. They started with a mini pizza as a complimentary appy. It was nice to offer it, but it was not as special as every other course we were served. We started with the Zucchini Flowers - pictured. These were so delicate and delicious. Very glad we ordered them. I got an Amalfi coast staple dish, Spaghetti and clams - pictured. This one was my favorite version of this dish of the three times I got it at different restaurants in the Amalfi coast. My wife got the gnocchi - also pictured. It is vegetarian and also was delicious. The service was always fast and helpful with any questions. This is a highly recommended place for a special dinner.

The lobster pasta was cooked perfectly and the lobster itself was amazing. Not overcooked, not too oceany tasting yet freshly caught. The ravioli stuffed with potato and the veal sauce was like a shepherd's pie. I thought it was great! My wife preferred the lobster pasta. We finished the meal with a delizia al limone. It's a lemon sponge cake with a lemon sauce over it. It was good here, but we had better at another restaurant. Overall was a great dining experience. The service was typical of Europe where you don't see wait staff as often so don't be afraid to raise your hand if you need or want something. Seif was an awesome staff member and gave us wonderful advice for our upcoming honeymoon. And he also gave wonderful advice for being newly weds. The ambiance is more upscale looking and feeling. There isn't really a view of anything specific but not every meal needs a view of the Positano cliffs. Highly recommend eating here if you're in Positano.

Collina is such a fun stop in Positano…read more It was pretty crowded inside when we went, but the staff handled it really well and kept the line moving quickly. They were super efficient and friendly despite how busy it was. One of my favorite things here was the mini pastries. They have smaller versions of a lot of the classics, which is perfect because you can try a few different things without committing to just one. I loved the sfogliatella and cannoli. They have a huge selection overall, from pastries to gelato and even lemon sorbet, so there's something for everyone. Definitely a great spot to pop into, especially if you want to sample a little bit of everything.

The ambiance was a hit and had the most beautiful view. They provide shuttle service in positano to arrive and also leave - ask them for directions and pickup spot. I don't think you can get up there by walking - it would be too steep and take too long - likely doesn't even have a pedestrian route. After dinner, their shuttle took us back down the hill and we took an additional bus back to our Airbnb in Praiano.

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.
