The transportation (although free) to and from the restaurant ruined it for us. It was an hour late to pick us up and an hour late to drop everyone off, not to mention The staff kept lying to pretend a ride was near to kick people out of the restaurant. Food and speed of service was great, but not worth the inconvenience. If you want a cheap dinner with great views but no sense of time efficiency, go for it. read more

Outstanding lunch, very friendly & welcoming when we arrived. Great views will recommend to anyone wanting a home style meal.

The staff is fun and welcoming, and the view is breathtaking . I cannot speak highly enough about the food. Bring a large appetite because the dishes keep coming! Everything tasted incredible and so fresh! read more

Our meal at La Tagliata was an amazing experience. We were greeted like old friends, brought course upon course of delicious Italian food, drank very well and enjoyed some great music (which by the end of the meal had everyone dancing!). We ate: 5 plates of antipasti - there was some beans cooked with pancetta and the best mozerella I've ever eaten wrapped in Palma ham. Pasta - 4 different kinds but my favourite was the pumpkin ravioli. It was amazing. Meat - Italian sausage, beef, veal, rabbit, chicken and pork! Served with French fries and salad. Pudding - fruit and 3 kinds of cake (no idea what any of them were, but they were delicious). To drink - 2 bottles of red wine, mineral water and limoncello to finish the meal. We spent about 3.5 hours there and came away VERY full. All for €35 a head. Astonishing!! I will say it took a long time to get the bill (seems to everywhere in Italy though?). And we were fortunate that we had a 30 min walk back to Nochelle but the queue of people waiting for the bus looked like they would be there for a while!! The views are spectacular but so is the food. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

I'm mostly annoyed with myself that I ignored warnings from locals and other yelp reviews that this place is a tourist trap, but I came away thinking this place is definitely a tourist trap. I figured we wanted to try it since after all, we are tourists! But after a week in positano the only thing that stands out to me about this place is it was my least favorite meal. That said, the worst meal in Italy certainly isn't awful and like everything else there were highs and lows. The shuttle was on time and convenient. The bottomless wine was nice and the cost was 80 euro for the two of us, which given all you get is alright. The pasta course was excellent and certainly my favorite- we enjoyed 2 of the 4 pastas we were given. The meats were okay, the other courses were alright, and service was okay. Overall: it was alright. We had way better food for way cheaper! read more

This was the best dining experience we had in Italy. Everything from the fresh organic ingredients, the friendly staff, the stunning views, and the multi-level farm that we toured made for an unforgettable experience. The food was epic. We ate here for lunch because dinner was booked for the whole week (so make sure to reserve your table several days or weeks in advance if possible). It was family style dining, so there was no menu. They just continued to bring plate after plate of delicious food to our table, five or six courses in total. The food was the best we had during our week-long stay in Rome and Positano. And the price was surprisingly low considering the amount and quality of the food that was served. We spent around 80 euro for two people, including 2 bottles of wine. We couldn't have been happier and we hope to come back here next time we visit Italy. read more

Made a reservation for a cooking class months before arriving in Positano. The owners never confirmed our reservation and we weren't able to do the class bc we never heard from them once in Positano. Horrible customer service. I would NOT recommend this place. They are unreliable. read more

We loved it!! The service, views, food, and family story was incredible. Just know what you're getting yourself into. It's family style, more casual, and meat heavy. There is PLENTY of food though - so the many, many veggie dishes are sure to satisfy our non-meat eaters. The veggie dishes and appetizers were better than the meat courses and desserts in my opinion, but again there is so much food you can pick and chose to eat what you like. Make sure to get the free shuttle - they will pick up at some bus stops too for those of you at villas. read more

It's noteworthy for the experience. Reservations are recommended. There is no menu here. Once we were seated the owner, Pepe, came over and told us this is like eating with your family, food would just come out for you to enjoy. That's what happened! Food started arriving at the table, five courses in all and unlimited wine. It was neat to anticipate what would arrive next. I didn't love the wine - seemed to be their own house brand, but really enjoyed the experience and the views! This restaurant is at the top of Positano and has great views of the coast and the town. read more

Amazing food, which is mostly grown on site. The view is incredibly and fabulous service. Highly reecommend when Positino.

My wife booked this restaurant 2 months in advance after wanting to have dinner at a well recommended place for a special Positano dinner where we are travelling on our honeymoon. After booking it so far in advance we thought we would check on the day so emailed 1st thing in the morning and recieved a "Confirmation email" and that we would be picked up from our hotel and transferred. When it was time to be picked up the transfer was late. We were reassured by our hotel that it was normal from this restaurant so didnt think too much of it. The hotel was also trying to phone on our behalf. After about 45min our reception told us that there was "no booking" (thats right despite having the confirmation email that morning) they sent a transfer for us and we were on our way 1.5hours later than our expected shuttle. Once we arrived we asked to speak with the manager and he just brushed the whole thing off with a don't worry youre here now my driver fell asleep.... so driver asleep or no booking?? We were sat on a long table with 4 other people keeping in mind we are on our honeymoon. Food was average I was expecting alot more from this place from all the reviews. First course and wine was prob the highlight of the night. The bread was old, The pasta was ok but all tasted the same, the meat was ok pork would of been the best of the lot that was served and the desserts were absolutely terrible (except the fresh fruit but then you can't really get that wrong can you) You do get a very substantial amount of food, you will not leave there hungry. Unfortunately we left very dissapointed. A shuttle was organised to take us back to the hotel and to put the icing on the cake we were dropped off a 20min walk from our hotel by the driver and told to walk up because it was easier. Extremely dissapointed with this experience and would not recommend this place to anyone!! There are so many other better restaurants that offer the free shuttle and where the food is quality. read more

This was a great experience between the view, food and staff. They make you feel like home and you wished you lived here lol. Food is all really good (farm to table from right around the restaurant) and too much to eat (although you still will). Choose your water, choose your wine, enjoy your food! Bring cash because they make you feel slightly awkward about using a card. Best place we ate in Italy with everything considered. Hope I get to come back! Ciao! read more

La Tagliata - The view - Italian Near Me - Positano, SA

Go hungry!!! After recommendations from friends who have been here and reading the reviews, our hopes were high!!! And they did not disappoint! First We were picked up and dropped off by their shuttle which was very convenient because we weren't staying close by. The second you get there you're warmly welcomed and seated, the staff was amazing, super friendly and attentive. No set menu, it's whatever they've picked from the garden that day determines what will be served. Within minutes the food starts coming... not one appetizer plate, but 5!!! The buffalo mozzarella everything was delicious! Homemade pastas and an impressive plate of grilled meats... it just keeps coming! Did I mention unlimited wine?? Followed by dessert and limoncello! Pace yourself! The experience was outstanding and you cannot beat the price!! would absolutely go again and highly recommend if you're staying anywhere in the area it's worth the trip!! read more

The most wonderful Italian food in the whole world! Unbelievable sight of the Amalfi Coast! Deliciously decadent homemade food with home grown ingredients! And best of all .. a wonderful family that puts together a home made meal that makes you feel like part of their family! Do not miss this experience of you are in Positano !! read more

Overall we had a good experience dining but there are a few quirks to consider. The Resteraunt is located way up in the hills so you are at the mercy of the shuttle bus drivers. We had a 7:30 reservation and we did not get to leave until 10:30. That was a bit long for me and after a while I felt trapped up there. The food was really good and a great deal for what you got. Wine is included in the price 40 Euro but it's nothing to write home about. You don't get to order it just comes out and keeps coming. The pasta sampler blew me away and if you wanted more of anything they brought you seconds. By the time the meat course came I was stuffed but what I tried was also really good. Staff and service were amazing. They put on a real show over the course of the night with music and a bit of dancing. They are the very friendly and courteous. The view is amazing but when making reservations request a seat by the railing. We did not and unfortunately you can't really enjoy the view sitting on the interior. Only the exterior perimeter seats really get to enjoy the magic of the location. All that said because I don't like being out of control of my dining experience (when to leave, what to order) I would tend to give a place like this 3 stars. But since the food was so good, excellent price and service I'm bumping up to 4. That said be aware of what your getting into. read more

Amazing dinner with an even better setting and view! For $40 Euro per person you get an obnoxious amount of food and wine! Made reservations and shuttle bus pick up from our hotel. We were lucky enough to get there while there was still some light and went down to the farm below where they grow all the fruits, vegetables and tend to the animals. A must if you're staying close by! Service was excellent, felt like we were a part of the family! Make sure you bring comfortable pants that stretch! read more

Imagine this: you are taking a once in a lifetime trip to the Amalfi Coast - with beautiful views, literally hundreds of options to eat the most delicious food in the world, and you suddenly are hit with a wave of regret because you realize that you've picked a restaurant where not only is the food horrible, but it's been raining for a week so the impeccable views that the place touts and that typically distract from the disgustingly salty food are non-existent. This is what just happened to me at La Tagliata. If you grew up eating amazing meals cooked by your Nonna and hope that the flavors of Italy will get your taste buds reminiscing, this place is not for you. Ok - WAY too salty! Anyone that knows anything about cooking knows that you use the flavors of different foods together to make your meal taste good, you don't simply rely on salt alone - unless you're dumping your dinner out of a can....or eating at La Tagliata. The bread was hard, the prosciutto was endlessly chewy, the antipasti were chickpeas and green peas (wtf?) the pasta was over cooked and flavorless, the meat was greasy (it's grilled so not sure how on earth that happens) the vegetables are DROWNING in oil and salt. Did I mention it was salty?? Wine was good and the people are nice. But, bottom line - you're in Positano. Go literally anywhere else and have an amazing meal. I almost didn't write a review but I'm so mad that I wasted my only night in Positano on this place and hope I can save someone else from doing the same. read more

Best meal of our entire life. Hands down. The family is so nice and the unlimited wine is just another bonus. The food is the best we've ever had n the atmosphere and PARROT make it even better. We couldn't thank this family more for the most perfect night in Italy. We wouldn't change a thingtheir love for food is tasted in every single bite. read more

Staff is very welcoming, food is delicious. There is not a menu, what is served that day is based on what they have fresh from their garden and delivered fresh that day. View is fantastic. Free shuttle to and from your hotel. Must go here. read more

A very unique but wonderful dining experience. Definitely come hungry as the menu is a delicious seasonal pre-fixed four course meal that is served family style. If you ask, you may be able to get a photo with Mama and Papa in the kitchen. Bring your camera too as this has spectacular views of the Amalfi coast line. Because of its location you can't drive here, but the restaurant runs shuttles to pick up and drop you off. Our waiter Tony was amazing, very friendly, and made us feel like family. ​ read more

This is a tough one to review. I considered giving it four stars based on the the overall experience and value, but the food was so mediocre that I just couldn't. I guess it's okay to try at least once for the experience, although I wouldn't go back. It's a nice enough family restaurant with a good view where "Mama" supposedly cooks everything. As others have said, there's no menu. You choose red or white wine (we had the red which was just ok). They then proceed to bring you four courses; first they brought mozzarella & prosciutto, bruschetta, mixed vegetables, eggplant, beans and meatloaf; second course was four different pastas including gnocchi and ravioli; third course was several different meats including beef, rabbit, pork, chicken & sausage; fourth course started with a shot of limoncello followed by four different desserts (the best being lemon profiteroles) and slightly soggy fruit. There wasn't anything that stood out or made me want to return. It's a big place and when you're cooking huge portions of the same dishes, I think it's hard to get that same fresh Italian flavor you get with made to order dishes. Service was fine but felt a bit rushed. I think they circulate a lot of people in and out. Everyone around us seemed to be tourists and I will admit, most seemed to be enjoying the experience while a few others looked underwhelmed. They did have some brief live music consisting of an accordion player, a tambourine player and "Papa" who was actually very cute playing some sort of homemade wooden contraption. It was a bit more "clanging and banging" than musical though. I will say it was a nice touch that they offer a shuttle to and from the restaurant from Positano. Still, there are so many great local restaurants that I'd pass on this one. read more

A must do in Positano! They pick you up from your hotel and drive you to the top of the mountain where the views are incredible. Our only regret is not making a reservation for earlier to see the views in day light. It's family style so you don't get to pick your meal but they give you tons of appetizers, pastas, and grilled meats for the main course. Ends with a few deserts and a shot of limoncello. Renato was our server and was SO nice and attentive. He was always asking if we wanted anything else and even sent us home with a complimentary bottle of wine. This place is one of a kind and we've already decided we will go back one more time before we leave Positano. Thanks Renato and all the staff for an amazing experience. read more

I heard rave reviews about La Tagliata when planning my trip to Positano; the restaurant is about 30 mins above Positano but they do provide a good shuttle service from your hotel. Your hotel can set this up when making the booking. The view is spectacular down onto Positano. My main interest was to spend a day cooking with the family but when this didn't pan-out I decided to go one evening just for dinner. It's all about expectations. If you are expecting fairly rustic Italian cooking and a lot of food then you won't be disappointed. If however you are expecting fine dining then the experience will leave you flat. The meal is "meat-only", there is no fish on the fixed menu. The plate of meat that is served as the main course is big and grilled close to the tables. The chicken was ok, my pork was over cooked and the steak was small and also over (for me). I did enjoy the rabbit but not many will want this. It's an experience and I admire the family for running the restaurant but I would encourage a menu update. Other options for foodies in Positano in 2017 (see my reviews): 1. Don Alfonso (tasting menu E170). By far the best we found. Well worth the 45 min drive. 2. Next2. Really nice presentation and the desserts were outstanding. 3. RADA. Trying for Michelin recognition. Location, food and service were very good. NOTE: There needs to be someway to recognize the difference between a Don Alsonso and a regular restaurant that gets 4-5 stars. Same stars but a world of difference. read more

It's a two year overdue rating but I have to write the review because I had such a bad experience there. We got a recommendation from our friend so we went and tried out. The food was more like cafeteria food. Limited wine options and they were terrible. We went there after our hike to the path of the gods. And tried to get lunch before we hit town. The food were not cooked to order, it's pre-prepared foods. If you get there a little late, you would get the scrape from the bottom of the pan. Veggies was way over cooked and awful looking. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there if you are a foodie read more

We at here last Saturday night and had an amazing time! Make sure to come hungry because the family style portions just keep coming. The restaurant charges €40/person, which includes wine - what a steal! The restaurant is also family run and everyone is extremely kind and welcoming. We even met Mama and Luigi who both gave us hugs and made us feel like family. There are lots of great restaurants in Positano, but this one is truly a unique and terrific experience. Oh yeah, and it has the best view in town!!! read more

This place was amazing! A family business with no set menu and all ingredients locally sourced and cooked by the family matriarch. If you're a picky eater or have a dietary resection you might want to call in advance but otherwise everything we had was delicious. In fact, this was probably our best meal in Italy! You pay 40 Euros per person and eat whatever you're served and the wine is included - we were not disappointed. Call to see if you can be picked up by the free shuttle service they offer. We were staying in Nocelle and we had someone from the restaurant pick us up and drop us off! read more

Best dining experience I have ever had on vacation. This wasn't a dinner but felt like a party with friends even though we didn't meet til arriving at the restaurant. The staff make you feel like family and are constantly entertaining, serving, and assisting. As a vegetarian I was worried about options given this is a fixed menu but I was blown away by the amounts of vegetarian food that was served to me. When the platter of meats were served they were so thoughtful as to bring out a full vegetarian plate of different entrees for me. I cannot sing their praises enough. The experience was complete with amazing views, live music, free shuttle service which was entertaining in itself and so much love. Highly recommend! read more

We were disappointed and had high hopes for this restaurant/experience. The concept is lovely...it's a family operated restaurant, and they grow a lot of their own ingredients. The setting up on the hill is spectacular, but the food and service is not. The food quality was lacking. The setting felt like a cafeteria...the waiters bringing out multiple courses & the chatter of surrounding tables was distracting. To top off the experience, we were waiting for a shuttle to take us back to our hotel that didn't show up, so they squeezed about 15 of us onto a public bus to take us back down the hill. This place is not worth the hype. read more

Thank you to the family and staff of La Tagliata! Thank you for the warm greetings. Thank you for the tour of your mountainside farm, wine cellar and gardens. Thank you for the music. Thank you for making us feel as if we are a part of your family. Thank you to the food servers, who are prompt, extremely courteous and friendly. Thank you for one of the most memorable nights I experienced in Italy! Our group consisted of 14 people and your family-style servings and glasses of wine, prosecco and lemoncello made for full bellies and great conversation. I am a meat eater but your vegetables could ALMOST convert me to a vegetarian (I need your recipes)! Each platter of cooked veggies was hot, perfectly seasoned but did not overwhelm the flavors of the fresh veggies. Of all the vegetable dishes, your beans were my favorite! Your pasta dishes were divine! I almost made the mistake of eating too many servings of vegetables and pasta . . . thank goodness I still had room for the steak! I tasted the various meats you served until I saw the steak! The steak was perfectly grilled, slightly pink with a good, tasty char on the outside. Juicy. Lightly seasoned to enhance the beefy flavor. Oh my, that steak! Your desserts are works of art! The views from your restaurant are stunning! The sun setting over the mountains and the moon rising over the water made for an enchanting night of food and cheer. Thank you for such a fun, delicious and loving evening! read more

An experience of a lifetime!! This family run kitchen and restaurant is a must go! You will never find another place like this. The views , the food , the service, and the time you will have are all true and incredible. They tell you when they walk in this is not a restaurant this is my families business. They treat you like a real family member here . They are situated on a mountain top in positano with the most incredible views of the Amalfi Coast. I will talk about my experience here for the rest of my life. All the food is from their crops , animals , and farmland. It's about as fresh and fresh gets. You will not regret your stay here! read more

This was recommended to us by Nunzio of Joe Banana Limos. It's a very beautiful location that can be driven to by car. It's worth the drive and the view is spectacular. It is a family owned place, so for a preset menu of 30 Euro per person arranged by our driver. Meals were more than we can finish included 2 bottles of wine (white/red), water and sparkling water. It was 3 course lunch meal, appetizers of Capri salad, beans, lentils, broccoli, prosciutto to name a few. Main meal gnocchi to manicotti to rigatoni...my fave was the potato gnocchi. (I forgot yake pics of other pasta bc too busy eating..sorry). Dessert was the fruit platter and scrumptious pastries. It was too much to finish. This was one of my top visits during my trip to Europe. A must place to visit! read more

Garbage. This place says it provides a pickup at the main bus station but failed in every way possible. We were scheduled to be picked up at 720 in time to see the sunset from the restaurant so we waited at the agreed location at 720. Called around 740 and the receptionist said they would send someone to pick us up. Waited till 8 and called again, restaurant claimed they sent someone and that person didn't see anyone there, we haven't moved and were not the only ones waiting, but said they would come again. Waited til 830, gave up. Terrible experience for a spot we wanted to celebrate our engagement. Wish I could give lower read more

Terrible shuttle service, reservation was at 7:20 and we waited for more than an hour but no sign of any bus or van stoping at our bus stop to pick us up. Called twice and the staff kept on saying the bus was coming. We were cold, hungry, and missed the sunset on our anniversary night. Worse of all most restaurants are fully booked since it was late. I can't review the food but don't trust the shuttle service. read more

I wish I could tell you what a great experience it was to dine at this restaurant and the beautiful views it offered, but unfortunately the scheduled shuttle did not pick us and other patrons up at the hotel for our reservation. I made reservations 3 months prior to our visit to Positano for our honeymoon and the restaurant shuttle never arrived. When our hotel contacted the restaurant they simply said they were no longer sending someone to pick us up. We ended up dining at another restaurant on the Amalfi Coast. read more

This is a real experience. Come starving and pace yourself--you will be stuffed. Beautiful views and great presentation.

Absolutely an amazing restaurant. The shuttle picked us up and dropped us off from lower part of Positano. That was a ice touch. There are no menus. Family style of what's in season and variety of meats. I do love fish, none of that unfortunately. But the restaurant, its ambience, and attention to detail from the staff is worth the 5 stars. They prefer cash payment is possible. So we did. The price was so reasonable for such a venue. Going back for another dinner during our stay for sure. read more

Don't miss when it Positano. The food is simply awesome as a fellow diner blurted out. Family operated with home groan spices and an unbelievable location overlooking the Positano Harbor. They even provide pickup and drop off service at a price of 40 Euros per person with wine included. Bring an appetite and a camera. read more

Great place with lots of food. Come hungry because you will not be able to eat everything. Endless wine, ask for Tony he is great guy. This place is family owned read more

I just can't believe people liked this place. I stupidly ignored all the one star reviews and went up there to eat. This is not Italian food. The pasta at this place was akin to Costco pasta. The antipasti was heated in the microwaves (there are at least 5 in the kitchen). The meat was overcooked and drenched in salt. The fries were a mushy lukewarm mess (Italian Fries??). Just...don't...go... However... If you loved Jar Jar Binks, if you think Nickleback is the best, if you think Marshmello is the bomb, if your kind of night is pounding Jaeger shots with your Bros, if you're a huge Carrot Top fan, if you drive a yellow Hummer... well then, you will LOVE this place!! Go and Chow down on the massive amounts of I-talian food that comes at you at breakneck speed. Guzzle the gallons of dope house wine provided with the meal. Rip into them sweet crusty rolls. You will have another epic night with your peeps in Italy! The best thing is everyone speaks English and you don't have to hassle with those idiots who can't talk our language. Go here now. Do IT! Everyone else, you've been warned. read more

It is great that there is a shuttle to pick you up/drop you off. There was some confusion with our shuttle being overbooked, but it all worked out in the end. The staff were lovely, and the food amazing. Just a tip- don't fill up on the anti pasta because there is a lot more coming! The views are spectacular. I wish we would have been able to tour the wine cellar, and gardens. Overall a wonderful evening! read more
