    My favorite - risotto with shrimp and lemon!
    Lyn M.

    We stopped here for lunch during a guided tour, and loved it so much we came back for lunch the next day. Food was fresh and delicious. We loved all our dishes and the favorites were the gnocchi with red sauce, risotto with shrimp and lemon, the squid appetizer and the fresh fish! The view is stunning with plenty of lemon tree, service was friendly, prompt and courteous. They also have a chairlift if anyone needs assistance up and down the stairs.

    Costa Diva sits right on the edge of Praiano overlooking the Med. The pergolas of lemon trees and twinkly lights make it look right out of a postcard! It's a family owned spot with many generations there working. Everyone was kind and accommodating. Like most restaurants in Praiano, it's known for its seafood, which is what I ordered. I'm so glad I did! I got the seafood platter that came with a variety of fish and squid. Everything was so fresh! It also came with a side of of grilled zucchini and carrots that complimented the fish perfectly. We also got a caprese salad to start which, wow these tomatoes were seriously the best I have ever had. We also loved the tres leche and lemon cake we shared at the end of the night! Nothing was overly seasoned. Just good quality foods that shined. So yummy!

    Lemon trees at lunch!

    Beautiful location, very good food. Four of us were taken here as part of a guided tour of the Amalfi coast. Loved the lemon trees and the view from our table was beautiful. Menu is mainly fish based with several pastas also available. Waiter recommended dishes and service was perfectly spaced to enable relaxed meal yet back on the road in a reasonable timeframe. Parking, like so many places on the coast, was very challenging but there is a fellow at the gate to guide you. Place was filled with small private tour groups. It was a perfect place to stop. Definitely make a reservation, even for lunch. Beautiful.

    Most amazing experience here! The views, ambience, service, food. Everything is incredible! I would eat here every night if I could. They treated us like family. I got the lemon risotto and it was 10/10. The house wine was so good and served in the cutest pitchers. The peach cake dessert was one of the best desserts I've ever had. Highly recommend! Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. We will be back on this trip.

    Seafood pasta
    Neluta G.

    Gorgeous lemon garden restaurant, great service and wine. The food was fantastic, fresh prepared with seasonal ingredients, lots of fresh seafood. Bread baked daily, served with first cold press olive oil and balsamic vinegar. the place was recommended by our private tour guide, it is difficult to find if you don't know the exact location. There are several steps down to get to the restaurant and several steps up, no wheel chair access which will be difficult for some people.

    Cheese plate €10

    Food was very ok, very friendly and fast service -- this was our first stop in Praiano. Hat tip: There are other options if you want to eat RIghTtt by the sea like Il Pirata though Food: - service €2/person - bread (meh): sliced + pizza looking - fish (€18, ok): grilled, olive oil w/side of lemon. Fresh texture but kind of fishy for me? - seafood pasta (€15, ok): also a little on the fishy side - cheese plate (€10, yay): loved the mozzarella, parmesean and cacciocavallo original + smoked. Highly recommended - panna cotta (€5, yay): asked for this plain, though it can come with a variety of toppings. Very wonderful strong vanilla flavor - soy latte €2, espresso €1.5: jebus that espresso is real strong tasting haha. We just came from Rome so I was hoping for a lighter roast like tazza d'oro TLDR: cute lemon grove area with decent food with some views of the ocean. You have to walk down a bit more toward the tower bur solid food + experience.

    Lobster linguini

    Dinner with a group of five friends. The lobster linguini was delicious, not a lot of lobster meat but it was very flavorful. The pear ricotta cake is the best dessert we've had on our Italy trip so far. It was similar to a cheesecake but lighter and more refreshing. The lemon spritz was fresh and enjoyable in the hot weather. The house white wine was average. Warm night and not much breeze in through the restaurant. Would have been nice to have a fan. All in all, would definitely recommend!

    My husband and I loved the atmosphere of Costa Diva. The lemon trees and warm welcoming from the owner and waiters were great! I'd recommend going here more during the day hours as I imagine the lemon trees and views from the restaurant would be more appealing! We loved that when we asked what the catch of the day was, our waiter directed us to the fresh fish inside and showed us our options. He even pulled one out for a funny picture, which we all got a kick out of! The food was decent, but I did feel it lacked flavor. We had the bacon and egg pasta and the catch of the day (sea bass) in lemon. I would have appreciated some spices but it was still good. We did have some of the best wine of our trip there though!

We went in October and it didn't seem too busy at most places. We got a lovely seat with a view on their patio. The service and food was great! The restaurant itself was quiet and had a vintage hidden away feel to it. We ordered: Prosciutto and mozzarella 8/10 Seafood pasta: noodles were over cooked and soggy but flavor was great. I'll give it a 7/10 Seafood assortment: Some of the fishes were great others were too oceany like it wasn't prepared properly. 7/10 Affogato 9/10 Spritz 8/10 not bitter and prepared well Overall the food was good, some things were just hit or miss. I would go back and try some of the other options the restaurant has to offer.

The restaurant has one of the best views in Positano from the east side which is usually not appreciated as much as the west side. The whole terrace area and tableware is a pastel lover's paradise. We ordered Mezzi paccheri pasta with shrimps, lemon and basil, and Tiramisu. I absolutely loved each and every dish and especially the lemon pasta - so refreshing! The tiramisu was more like a pastry but still good.

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.

It tasted undercooked to me. Not al dente. The fish was barely seasoned. Then i had the veal. It wasn't impressive either. All food was recommended from my waiter. With that said, my drink was good. Service was nice. Beautiful ambiance. Don't make reservations for dinner. Go to their bar instead.

First of all the restaurant in located in a small hotel with a fabulous view of the coast of the Amalfi coast. The staff is meticulous presentation from the cups to the plates. We were giving some bread and dried crackers to start with. The waiter recommended some off menu items since we were such a huge party of salt crusted sea bass with some olive zucchini and potatoes as the entree and a seafood pasta as a first course. This was the best choice we could have made. The food was absolutely delicious with so much favor and the presentation was amazing. I could not stop licking the sauce from the sea food pasta. By the end of it I was full and satisfied. The night was perfect with the attentive staff and the ambiance at the restaurant. I will definitely be coming back here.
