Best pizza in Italy! We ordered a family pizza and found a bench nearby to eat as the location does not have a dining area. The desserts are also tasty and reasonably priced. Mini eclairs, cannoli, fruit tarts are all 1.50 euro. The limoncello desert cake was 3.00 euros and not my favorite. The tiramisu was great as was the lemon filled croissant.
The flavors are alright, but not the best gelato I've had in Italy. The server was very nice but the room itself is very small cramped unfortunately. There is probably way better gelato in Positano that we'll be going to next time
Mi Amore. Gelato. So popular in this area on the way to shops by the beach in Positano Italy. The staff was so friendly and offered a light waffle cookie with gelato. The pistachio gelato was magnificant.Honestly have not tasted one better than this sweet shop. No places to stand or sit but worth a stop when in shops by waterfront .
It was quite crowded inside. I came here specifically for the lemon sorbet that's placed inside a hollow lemon- cute. Cute comes at a cost though. I think it was 10€, but at least it was nice and refreshing. I also got a sfogliatella pastry. Sfogliatella means "layers" or "leaves" because of its exterior. Overall, it was a nice dessert break.
Extremely expensive for what you get. €22 for 2 small lemon sorbets which was so not worth it. Gimmicky and I had better sorbetto in Florence which cost me less than half the price.
Carry-out pizzas, salads, pastries etc. We'd seen the black & white pizza boxes being carried all around town, finally determining they'd come from Collina. We stopped by to get one to take back to our rental, along with a salad and a couple slices of cake from their dessert offerings. The food was prepared fairly fast. The pizza was good...small, 4 slices, but big enough for the 2 of us to share, considering the salad was pretty large (and was tasty). The cakes looked much better than they tasted. Both were way too dry to enjoy and ended up in our trash bin. Definitely a good option for a cheaper meal to-go. The place seemed to be slammed every time we walked by. It is small shop and set on a busy intersection, so it wasn't the easiest to order from and wait around...but definitely the cheapest meal we had while in town.
Amazing gelato!!!! Right next to a bus stop so very easy to access. I ordered a small double scoop with mint chocolate chip and pistachio and the pistachio gelato was one of the best gelatos I've ever had!! It had a super intense nutty/pistachio flavor which I love and creamy texture. They also have a lot of other baked goods and lemon sorbet which was delicious as well!
Nice cafe with pizza, baked goods, gelato and a few other eats. I had the pistachio and dark chocolate gelato. Both were delish, but the pistachio was the best I've ever had... Definitely not fake flavoring or color added; it tasted like eating actual pistachios. The service was quick and friendly. Two of my friends had the lemon sorbetto and my other friend got a cornetto. Everyone really enjoyed their treats. We also purchased a gluten free lemon dome which seemed like a lemony angel food cake with gelato in the middle and a whipped coating. It comes from the freezer, so best to eat right away or keep frozen until you're ready to eat it. It too was tasty!
We had to get the lemon sorbet in a lemon everyone was walking around with. Was it worth the €7? Probably not. But it sure was refreshing, and great for the gram. If you don't care about aesthetics, I'm sure you can get lemon sorbet that's equally good but for a cheaper price.
They have gluten free/vegan cones here! I got the dark chocolate vegan gelato (typical sorbet flavors also available) on a gluten free cone and it was delicious! My husband got the regular chocolate chip on a gluten free cone. We also bought packaged gluten free/lactose free croissants, and two littles pies. There are also packaged gluten free sandwiches to go. This is also one of the few places I've seen alternative milk options for coffee.
Great place for a quick bite to eat. We ordered a double espresso, meatball sandwich, and Nutella pastry. Meatball sandwich was ok but the Nutella pastry was excellent.
Collina is a popular bakery located in Positano, about 1/2 mile hike up from the ferry port. They offer coffee and pastries. While staying in Positano this was my go to spot in the morning for breakfast. Pistachio Croissant (1.80 euros) - The croissants here weren't super crispy on the outside and as far as croissants go they were just average. But what really made this an enjoyable treat for me was the pistachio crème filling inside them. I'm a sucker for anything pistachio, so I thoroughly enjoyed this. Cappuccino (3 euros) - This was rich, creamy and had a smooth taste! Cappuccinos in Italy are something I miss, now that I have come back to the U.S. Overall, this is a pretty good spot for breakfast and the prices are reasonable, compared to all the other tourist traps in the area.
Praise for their delicious melon sorbet made with real melon! 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. read more
I know it's touristy and gimmicky, but this was the perfect spot to get the iconic lemon sorbet inside 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. read more
Collina is such a fun stop in Positano. 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. read more

We got coffee, lemon sorbet, and lemon cornetto. The sorbet and cornetto were amazing. The coffee was mid compared to other spots we've tried in Amalfi coast. Service was fast. The prices are way too expensive. It's like a true touristy spot. Wouldn't go again. read more

A cute little dessert shop close to the bottom of the mountain! Collina is conveniently located next to all the best restaurants or at least on our way home from dinner to our hotel. We can here almost everyday, and it really is the best option in the area! My husband loved their nut gelatos (pistachio and hazelnut) plus their melon and fruit flavors. My absolute favorite was their granita! The lemon granita was delicious, made with fresh amalfi lemons. They have other rotating fruit granitas like watermelon and orange. Orange was AMAZING... especially lemon and orange mixed together. read more

Our favorite bakery/cafe in all of Amalfi! This gorgeous bakery is located in the beautiful island of Positano. Just a short walk from the ferry and you'll immediately smell the fresh espresso and decadent croissants. We had a slice of the red velvet cake and oh my goodness, it's to die for!! I definitely can't wait to come back here and try their lunch options. They had salads, sandwiches, gelato and so much more. Definitely head over here if you are visiting Positano! read more

We came back every*single*day...that's how amazing their gelatos were. The have several vegan options, which my husband and non-vegan parents loved. I personally stuck to the stracciatella (chocolate chip) which was wonderful. The owner told us that no gelato is ever frozen, they make it fresh every day. I also tried their Lemon sorbet, which they serve on an actual lemon. Their prices were pretty reasonable, given that we were in Positano, if you know what I mean. read more

Located in the town square. Great service! Great food! We ordered: -Scialatielli Positano pasta (cherry tomatoes, eggplants, provolone cheese): this dish was amazing!!! The texture along with the taste was simply perfect. Anyone who is a pasta must try this dish! - Margherita pizza: It wasn't bad but not mind blowing. We normally love thin pizzas but we felt like the pizza was a bit on the soft side for our liking. We wanted our pizza to be a bit more crispy. -Lemon delight dessert: Soft texture, creamy and simply delicious. If you enjoy lemon flavored anything, definitely give this dessert a try. -Limoncello: very strong and delicious -the house red was and the house white wines were also delicious. Wouldn't mind coming here again. :) read more

Definitely visit Positano before the crowds of tourists arrive and certainly stop in to taste the most delicious cannoli in Italy. We spent 12 days in Italy and Collins's desserts were superior! The limon delicia was airy and delicate! I dream of this place! read more

as i was doing a tour of the beautiful coastline i came in here for a quick dessert. decided to try to try a staple since its all about the citrus here. Had a yummy lemon sorbet inside of a frozen lemon was absolutely delish read more
This was the best cafe we went to in Positano. You get more of an authentic Italian cafe experience and feels less touristy than the cafes closer to the beach. We got the Nutella croissant, espresso and lemon sorbet. The croissant is very sweet so it you aren't a cream and chocolate person I would go with one that doesn't have a filling. The coffee was super strong and only 1€, we chose to eat at the small standing counters they have but they also do take-away coffees which is quite rare for Italy. Very clean and aesthetically pleaseing environment with plants and fun sayings on the walls. I highly recommend this cafe if you are staying to Positano. read more
The food is pretty good I enjoyed it we ordered pizza and a Caesar salad which seems to be what my has been and I always want to do but unfortunately we were a very large group there was 10 of us and they forgot our friend Hugo and they messed up his order and he didn't get his food until at least 20 minutes after everybody else got theirs and then he ordered an ice cream sundae and they gave him a lemon Sunday and he wanted a chocolate sundae they have a very unusual set up here the food is cooked across the street and then the servers go get the food and run across the street and bring it to your table although I got to say I really enjoyed it anyway and our waiter was really cute I shouldn't say cute funny read more
I don't care what anybody says about the food here: I am praising the gods that I found this place! I didn't go to the restaurant so maybe that's why I had a good time, but the food at the counter downstairs is great. They had a CHICKEN SANDWICH! Like the ones at Burger King, but worse. But still, for €6 it's an alternative to PASTA or SALAD. It was amazing. It's just what I need after almost two weeks of actual Italian food. Just don't come here for the restaurant, I guess. The gelato is also very good, as most gelato is. My girlfriend and I shared a medium (which comes with two flavors). Strawberry is always a good decision, and the panna cotta tasted like a creamier vanilla (which was also a good decision). The chicken sandwich is definitely pricey, but come on, you're stuck in Positano and you have no options. Oh wait, that's me. read more
Found in the heart of the city, this little bakery hit the spot a few times. This and one more spot were my go-to's. Collina offers baked goods, various pastries and gelato. Their pistachio gelato was terrific. Great authentic pistachio flavor and perfect texture. The double espresso was good, not great. And to stay on the pistachio train, one morning I tried this sugar coated pistachio filled donut pastry. Truly amazing. There aren't a lot of options in Positano, so don't worry if this places turns into your daily breakfast. Great little bakery. read more
