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.

There was one Italian couple, otherwise it was all tourists. It was almost criminal for the Caprese salad they served. There are the most beautiful tomatoes here in the world. They accompany every meal. But yet at this restaurant they were pale and tasteless. Pizza was unmemorable. It is fresh. That's about it. The raviolis were good. Really good. Unfortunately the rest of the meal didn't come close. In the waiters defense, he did take the gnocchi I had ordered and replaced it with ravioli without asking. LOL.

We had the mussels with lemon & pepper, pasta with shrimp & lemon sauce, and sea bass with salad - all cooked perfectly and paired with a local white wine. Service was friendly.

I ate zucchini flowers in tempura for the first time and it was delicious! The batter was a little salty but in a good way and made the flowers tasty. For my main I had the lobster ravioli.

The restaurant is popular and was full of other patrons enjoying their meals. As what is popular in Italy we were even greeted by their feline patrons. My part of the bill was charged incorrectly and I was immediately compensated for the difference. I would recommend this meal if you are looking for delicious food with beautiful views. It is a little pricey but at least the food is good.

They were super efficient and friendly despite how busy it was. One of my favorite things here was the mini pastries.

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.
