Easily some of the best food we had on the Amalfi Coast. We loved the panzarotti napoletani, which are little fried dough pockets filled with things like cheese and tomato. Basically like a mini fried calzone and they were unreal. Definitely a must order. The gnocchi was incredible. So light it literally melted in your mouth, and the sauce alone was so good you could eat it by itself. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the food here. Everything we tried was amazing. Service was just as great. The hostess and our waiter were so kind, engaging, and gave excellent recommendations, including wine pairings. The restaurant itself has a cozy, authentic feel, like you're sitting in someone's Italian kitchen. If you can, try to sit outside. The views of the cliffs of Positano are absolutely stunning. Definitely make a reservation in advance. It's a popular spot and can be hard to get a table otherwise. read more

In the heart of Positano since 1958, Da Vincenzo is terrific trattoria about ten minutes walk from Le Sirenuse. The pastas and the seafood dishes are very good. Service is friendly. The clientele skews young and American. A bit of a party atmosphere without being obnoxious. read more

Da Vincenzo - Seafood pasta. - Italian Near Me - Positano, SA

One of the restaurants on the Michelin apps so we decided to give it a try. We grabbed a table outside which has nice view of the city but not as stunning of a view as the restaurant next to them, Restaurant Positano. Our waiter was very attentive. He let us ordered 1/2 of a couple of appetizers because he overheard me wanting to try the fried zucchini flower while my husband wanted to try the calzone. The fried zucchini flower is a must try if you happen to see it on their special. For entree we had the red snapper and black truffle pasta. Get the red snapper. It was grilled to perfection and came on a bed of veggie and lemon sauce. Absolutely delicious. The pasta, though it sounded good, it was quite bland. read more

I felt like the restaurant did not live up to the hype. Coming from Rome and Florence, the pasta did not compare. The restaurant has a great location with a view of the water. The fried calzones were delicious. I ordered the shrimp pasta and broccoli for dinner. There was barely any shrimp in the pasta and the broccoli was very bitter. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing! read more

Best food we had during our time in Positano. I would highly recommend getting reservations, otherwise the wait can be 1-2 hours (on off season!). Their reservations open 1 month in advance. We got the fried calzone dish, clam pasta, and lamb chops. To top it off, we finished with a tiramisu. Absolutely delicious. We enjoyed a nice bottle of Langhe Nebbiolo, not native to the region obviously, but one of our favorites. The ambiance was quaint, made to resemble a cave. 10/10 would recommend coming here and bringing a loved one. read more

Had fried anchovies at every spot we at in Italy during our ten day stay and this was absolutely the best and highlight of the meal. Everything else was also amazing and we were absolutely blown away by the service. Additionally the environment and the price was well worth it.

On a beautiful night, we took a seat outside and were treated to wonderful food and amazing service! Food and drinks were all amazing, the view and people watching was fun.

We had a very good meal here on one of our last nights in Positano. Service was great. I particularly liked the truffle risotto and linguine with clams, and my husband liked his lamb. We asked for sautéed broccolini and instead got sautéed spinach. We didn't want to make a fuss so we ate it, but it was quite soggy and lacked flavor. I also had tiramisu which was just ok. My husband loved his panna cotta. read more

What a nice staff and a great meal! I arrived a day early for my reservation--I had made an error in the dates and they were kind enough to seat us dive we arrived before their major rush. The ziti was to die for, my children loved the pesto pasta as well as the seafood pasta we ordered. Wine was great and their favorite dessert was tiramisu. An altogether excellent experience from a restaurant that was unanimously recommended by our driver, our AirBnB host, and another local restaurant owner with nothing to gain from praising his fellow restaurant. Definitely make reservations though as the line to get in can be very long! read more

Food was AMAZING! We met the owner, service was efficient, both pasta dishes were flavorful and fresh, dessert was life changing. We got the Sorrento gnocci, ziti onion and beef genovese, calzones and the pistachio dessert! read more

Worst service I've ever had. Was so excited to eat here after hearing good things but right off since the beginning, our waiter was rude and my dish was very dry. I couldn't even eat it but by the time he came back, it was too long to switch it out and then when we asked for the check, they asked how it was and I told them I did not like it and they just said okay. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

We had dinner at Da Vincenzo in Positano and it was honestly so good. I got the lamb chops. My partner had pasta and it was just as delicious.

This is the worst restaurant for vegetarians. The bread served is cold, contrary to the belief - they don't have vegan options. They don't even have decent vegetarian options without the eggs, fish etc. their pasta has eggs and this after the hostess told us they have vegan options and made us wait two hours. The waitress was clueless what the spaghetti had in it and she challenged me saying how do you not know that pasta has egg in it? I literally quoted the ingredients in the pasta found on market. She then confirmed worth chef, since guess what - except ravioli, all their pasta is store bought. Not worth it. Please please read this review before you decide to wait for two hours read more

Da Vincenzo is a must if you're visiting Positano, but be sure to make a reservation. It's a unique restaurant with part of it enclosed in a cave and away from the beach area. Food is amazing! Started with the mussels and deep fried ricotta, the mussels are a must! Devoured every single one with the soup plus there was like 30 in the dish. As for the pasta, I split the pasta, but should have ordered our own. I do wish the shrimp were actually prawns vs. the baby shrimp. Service was great, very attentive! Can't wait to go back! read more

While this wasn't on our initial list, it was right across the street from our hotel and came highly recommended. It was an amazing first meal in Positano! We stopped by a few minutes after they opened and got a table right inside. The service was great throughout the meal with great recommendations, the right amount of checking in, etc. For starters we had the artichoke and the panzerotti both which were so good. The fondue with the artichoke was unique and yet we couldn't stop eating. For mains we had the nerano and the ravioli which may have been the best pasta we ate on our Italy trip. To round out the meal, we had a white wine recommended by our server which was the perfect compliment. All in all, please reserve a table and try this place!! read more

What a welcoming restaurant with delicious food! We were greeted with smiling faces and immediately seated for lunch on a Saturday, despite the fact that our reservation was booked for the wrong day. We ordered the octopus appetizer, a seafood pasta dish and the veal. All were spectacular and so nicely plated! My husband said the veal was so tender and melt in your mouth. The seafood pasta I had was also delicious, and I couldn't wait to finish it. At the end we finished with a tiramisu that we saw on reviews that it was the best ever, and it was indeed the best tiramisu we've ever had. Not even joking! Overall, one of our favorite restaurants of our whole Italy trip. Highly recommend! read more

This restaurant lives up to the hype. Make your reservations if you're in Positano! They're a family owned restaurant built into a cave! The fried sardines are fun to eat and very tender. The caprese salad was fresh and light. Fried calamari and shrimp were a huge hit with the lightest, fluffiest batter. The gnochetti were like pillows with the most flavorful tomato sauce. Grilled octopus was also very tender and delicious, and all the food came out super hot! For desserts, they didn't disappoint either. The afpgato was superb, and it hit the spot. We split tiramisu and cheesecake, and both were super smooth and delightful. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff at da Vincenzo made it extra special with a song and celebration. The owner came by to thank us for dining and celebrate our birthday girl, and you can feel the Positano hospitality. We would definitely come eat here again and again, given the chance. read more

Hands down one of the best food experiences we had in Positano. We cannot stop talking about this meal. We loved it so much that we ate here twice during out time in Positano! I was so happy I was able to get a reservation in for lunch since this place definitely gets booked ahead of time. We were also lucky we were able to walk in for dinner but we had to be done by a certain time which was not a problem for us at all. The wait staff was super friendly and really made the experience enjoyable. The food was amazing. Everything we ordered from the appetizers to our main plates was absolutely divine. I can't wait to come back to Positano just to eat here again! read more

This place fills up with reservations and we were lucky to get in without a reservation! The staff was very friendly and this was one of the cleanest and nicest restaurants I saw in Positano. The prices were a little on the higher side but all the food was really good. However I do wish the portions were a little bigger. I still recommend going here and would love to come back for their braised beef pasta that wasn't on the menu when we visited but looked very good in photos! read more

I love pasta in Italy but mine was way too al dente, my husband's lamb was too fatty and the wine the waiter chose, as it seemed he didn't want us to, was the worst we had in Italy which was €46, I don't get the hype. Maybe the chef was having a bad day read more

Excellent, excellent experience. This is very hard place to get into. Our reservation was for 9:30pm for dinner for 6 people. We had a great corner table with half our table able to watch folks out the front window. We started with olives and Panzarotti Neapolitan as our appetizers. The Panzarotti was amazing. For an entree, I chose the ravioli. It was beautifully served and equally delicious. Homemade pasta was stuffed with local ricotta and covered in a light tomato based sauce. It was delicious and the portion was perfect, especially for such a late meal. The restaurant had a cozy feel but it was bright and inviting. I liked the exposed rock inside the room. Service was outstanding! From hanging up our coats to delivering steaming hot meals, the pace and friendliness was well appreciated. Great experience!! read more

This was among the best food we ate during our entire 2 week Italian vacation. We liked it so much, we went back every night that we were in Positano! Although we did not have reservations, because we only found out about it after checking into our hotel ... we showed up and they were very good about fitting us in early in the evening. If you do not have reservations, show up at 6:15 p.m. - 6:20 p.m. and let them know you'd like to have dinner if there is space for when it officially opens at 6:30 p.m. A line will start to form around 6:30 p.m. of stand by customers and they will make space for a few of the parties who are in line. Making reservations in advance is highly recommended as this place is popular to locals and tourists. The staff here is beyond fantastic! They are not snooty, or aloof, even though the restaurant is very highly rated and very popular ... they treat every customer with respect. Rafaele was a great host who made us feel right at home and we felt like family by the end of our trip. He gave us great menu recommendations and had us laughing the entire time during our meal. There wasn't a single dish which we ordered that we didn't like. Literally, we finished everything on our plates, each meal! Grilled Octopus ... This is amazing! Cooked perfectly, so it is tender and flavorful. It is not rubbery or slimy. It is probably our favorite dish ... even my partner ate some and she hates octopus normally. Hand-made Ravioli ... These were our second favorite dish. The combination of San Marzano tomatoes and cheese was absolutely amazing! You cannot taste tomatoes like this in the United States. I could have eaten this dish the entire time, it was so good! Neapolitan baby octopus soup ... While I think I prefer the grilled octopus, this was a close second. It has small octopus and a very flavorful tomato and octopus broth. Tagliatelle with red shrimp ... Very good dish. The sauce was flavorful (you have to be okay with fishiness) and the pasta was done perfectly al dente. Rigatoni al ragu ... This was our least favorite dish, but we still loved every bite of it. It certainly didn't match up to the other dishes we had here, and we would likely skip it again. Honestly, we probably would have eaten here another night too, if we were staying additional time in Positano. The menu is so good and there are a lot of options. Everything is made using fresh ingredients, the prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly. You can eat inside, which looks like a classy cave. Or, outside, where there is a lot of traffic that passes by the table ... but views of the coast. We prefer outside. Overall, this was our favourite restaurant in Positano. There are a lot of mediocre tourist traps ... especially near the beaches/town center. You'll have to climb some VERY long stairs to get to the top where the restaurant is, from the city center. However, the long climb is worth it because everything about this restaurant is perfect and makes us want to return. read more

4.5 stars! We had a late dinner here and snagged a last minute reservation before our trip. I would recommend reserving here if you plan on dining because even in off season it did not seem like they had the capacity for walk ins. The atmosphere here is super quaint and really adorable. The restaurant is carved into the side of a cliff with the natural stone as the primary decor. It's really a unique space that we enjoyed. The staff was super friendly with great advice and suggestions when requested. As it goes for the food, we mostly liked everything. The eggplant parm was to die for, and I'll be thinking about it well after the trip is over. We also got a cold tomato soup with smoked mozzarella and we found this to just be okay. We got this dish at another establishment so we are a bit familiar with it and we just didn't find this to be our favorite. For entrees we got the zucchini pasta and lamb chomps which we shared and both were good! Overall I'd say this was a good meal with a nice atmosphere that didn't break the bank. A nice spot in Positano! read more

We got lucky with a last minute reservation. We sat outside but the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous! I have to say our server saved a woman's life. She was choking, he gave her the heimlick maneuver and saved her life! The servers sprang into action quickly, helping this woman. So glad she is okay and the servers were on it! Onto the food, ordered anchovies and the octopus for appetizers, both were superior. I'm not a huge fan of anchovies, yet my boyfriend loves them, this dish made me fan. They're ever so lightly flash fried, just enough for a slight crunch. I ordered the seafood pasta, wonderful light butter sauce. He ordered the porcini pasta, delightful as well. Finished with tiramisu, which I have to say, may have been my favorite tiramisu our entire trip. Finished with espresso and lemoncello! I will say, this restaurant is very fair priced! I wish I could remember the white wine we had, dry but light peach notes on the back end, went fantastic with our meal choices. The restaurant is beautiful. The service is exceptional. The food is everything, everyone says it is! Highly recommend! Will be back! read more

My husband and I had very high hopes for this restaurant and really scoured for reservations to make sure we snagged a table during our stay in Positano! With the being said... make sure to make a reservation ahead of time! Especially in peak season. We sat indoors close to the stone walls the restaurant is carved from. We started with the anchovy, mozzarella, tomato salad, ordered the spaghetti with clams and nerano spaghetti, amberjack fish, and the lemon delight for dessert. We really enjoyed this meal and our experience, but no dishes were standout amazing. Overall a solid Positano restaurant to visit! read more

Arriving in Poistano on the heels of 2 weeks spent in Naples, the differences couldn't be more stark. Naples has a reputation for being gritty and casual, the birthplace of pizza. Positano is the nearby, upscale, immaculate destination choice for (seemingly all) American honeymooners. Certainly, you can find the same fare in both places but in Poistano you will generally be enjoying it at different, higher price points and dining in spaces where every other table is filled with American diners. But that's how summer in Southern Italy rolls. Of the three dinners I enjoyed in Poistano, Da Vincenzo - noted in the 2022 Michelin Guide - was my favorite by a longshot. Recommended also by my hotel concierge, Da Vincenzo's dining room was pretty without pretension, and the food and service were upscale and delicious. I wasn't overly impressed with the somewhat sloppy presentation of the Fried Seafood but the Parmesan Melanzane (Eggplant) and the Linguine Alici (Anchovies) more than made up for it. Throw in that bottle of Taurasi wine (as you definitely should) and there was really nothing not to enjoy here. Dinner for two, including that nice bottle of wine ran about $125USD and, were I ever back in Positano, I'd not hesitate to revisit Da Vincenzo. read more

My favorite meal in Positano...my favorite meal in all of Italy! The hype was definitely real. I tried to go during lunch hours because I knew how crowded it can get but the guy really recommended to come back for dinner so we did...even though its the same menu. TIP: make reservations early! If you gotta make an international call or its the first thing you do at the front desk of your hotel/airbnd..do it! We didnt and we walked in around 9:30pm, put our name on the list and waited outside for 30-45mins. It's nice cause you can order a drink while you wait. I didn't care for any of the cocktails on their list so I told the bartender to make me something sweet...and she made me the best drink I had on my entire trip! It was something with vodka, elderflower liqueur, cranberry. So good I ordered the same thing twice! My husband got the old fashioned with a twist and he liked it as well. For food we weren't too hungry so we didnt order too much but we got Panzarotti napoletani- a deep fried calzone stuffed with cheese. this was so simple yet delicious. Parmigiana di melanzane- delicious eggplant with cheese, tomato, basil. Meatballs dish- just meatballs (and 2 potato sticks), no pasta! but honestly so glad because we were stuffed by this point and the meatballs were so fresh, so authentic, so delicious! Return? yes Recommend? you must! read more

My favorite restaurant in Positano by far. Definitely make a reservation in advance or else you'll be waiting in a very long line. We started off with mini calzones filled with ricotta the ricotta melted in your mouth. For entrees we ordered the eggplant Parmesan and gnocchi pesto. Both were very delicious, especially the pesto. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it came with a scoop of coffee gelato which was heavenly. Food was great and the staff was so attentive and nice. read more

We had a nice experience here. Overall the food was okay, but the dessert was DELICIOUS. For food, we ordered the mussels, calamari, and mushroom pasta. I think the mussels and calamari were okay, covered our craving for both since we have it every so often. Mussels were a little smaller than I realized it would be. The mushroom pasta was good, a little buttery but pasta was perfectly Al dente. Now for the showstoppers, the cheesecake and tiramisu were amazing. The bottom layer/crumble on both were so yummy. Definitely would come back for the dessert. read more
