    Review Highlights - C'era Una Volta

    It's quite a hike up Positano, so make sure you have plenty of time and energy to conquer the stairs.

    I'm usually cautious about extremely positive reviews, but I think in this case it is more than…read morewarranted. Many other reviewers have mentioned that this is the best meal that they've had in the entire country and unfortunately, without sounding like a false advertisement, I absolutely must agree. This was the best meal I have had in the entire country and I have traveled Italy extensively. They only have a couple of tables, the brothers, along with mama and Bridget, deliver an incredible meal, incredible experience, and the way the patrons feel after the experience cannot be matched. What the hell if we ordered Caesar salad, then meatballs, then gnocchi, then seafood with linguine, then the local catch of the day which today was amberjack, then ribeye, then dessert. I'm not alone in my prayer of this restaurant, my wife and my three children are unanimous that this was the absolute best meal that they have had in Italy. I strongly recommend this restaurant, but I would mention that you need to get there early because they do not take reservations. Please feel free to joke with Bridget about her Texan roots and her hallmark story which caused her to settle in Positano!

    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.

    YES! Food here was soooooo gooood ! It's where we ate our first night here and I'll never forget…read morehow delicious the food was !!! The staff were super kind and they remembered us and said hi every time we walked by the restaurant. It doesn't have a view, but they do have outdoor seating which is nice. It's located on the more quiet side of the mountain / town. I would definitely go back to this spot! It was soo soo yummy!! I never had the olive oil green pasta sauce before but I would totally order it next time I come across it. Pasta: 10/10 Pizza: 8/10 Grilled Octopus: 8/10 Overall one of the most memorable and best food spots I had in Positano and I highly recommend it.

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.

We sat right in front of Miles and Keleigh Teller at dinner. The crab appetizer and rooster ravioli were the highlights of our meal. The lamb entree was also excellent. I would skip the tart tartine and instead go have a night cap at the Don't Worry speakeasy bar next door that has a live DJ set with vinyl records. It was epic and we shut the place down at 2am.

The atmosphere is absolutely breathtaking, romantic, elegant, and uniquely Positano. Every detail was perfection. The service was flawless, warm, and incredibly attentive, but what truly made the night unforgettable was the legendary Maître D', who has been with La Sponda for 44 years. His charm, professionalism, and passion for hospitality elevated the entire experience and made us feel genuinely special. Then there were the roaming musicians, who have been at La Sponda for 33 years performing!! They transformed dinner into something straight out of a movie. The music floating through the candlelit restaurant created an energy and emotion that simply cannot be replicated. La Sponda is not just a restaurant, it is THE Positano experience. An unforgettable evening we will talk about forever. It felt like an absolute DREAM!!
