This restaurant was unlike any other. The view was spectacular, the service was friendly, the food was delicious, and the experience of being served without a menu was amazing. The entire experience was truly unlike anything elsewhere. The only people who might not like this restaurant are people who are picky eaters or have food have complex food restrictions...or people with small appetites. This is because you don't choose what you eat here. They simply start serving copious amounts of delicious food without asking. read more

This is a non common restaurant in Positano. Family oriented business and made by mom, pops and the kids. Food was excellent and pasta is the best. I recommend you to get wine because is really good. Very good service, you feel like home. read more

Best dinner in Positano! This restaurant sits all the way at the top of Positano and has the most incredible view. Everything is farm to table and fresh! But the best part is the simplicity. When you sit down they ask if you want red or white wine and then they just start bringing you food. No menu, no ordering, they just keep bringing delicious food until you can't eat anymore. We had no idea what the bill would be but didn't even care because it was just so good and had such charming ambiance. Our bill was only $100 Euro for 2ppl! And they have a free shuttle that will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel. Just make sure to make reservations in advance for both the shuttle and the restaurant. The shuttle up was full so our hotel provided us with a driver for $50 euro to get up there. It was a Mercedes and it was a beautiful ride so we didn't mind the price. Overall, a great getaway from the madness near the city center. (We were there early August) read more

They give you a ton of poor quality food. The service is awful. The only thing it has going for it is a view and they provide a free shuttle to get there and back from Positano. read more

This was probably the best dining experience I have ever had in my entire life. You must make reservations because they are located at the top of the hill which is really hard to get to. When you make reservations they send you a complementary shuttle to pick you up from your hotel or Airbnb. When you get there a nice man welcomes you and comes in ask you two questions- if you want red or white wine and if you want still or sparkling water. They do not have a menu, it is family style and they just bring you whatever they have made for the day. We are vegetarians and they were able to easily accommodate us! For €45 a person, everything is included and you get dining with an incredible view. This was our favorite dinner in Positano. A must if you're in town. read more

I first found out about La Tagliata while TripAdvisoring restaurants in the Positano and Sorrento area. I saw pictures for La Tagliata and immediately fell in love. I knew we had to go here. Our tour guide was able to secure us a reservation for this restaurant and we made our way up the hills of Positano to the restaurant. Nestled in the hilltop of Positano, La Tagliata offers a gorgeous view of the coastline. The view really cannot be beat - it was even better than some of the stops we made along the road to take photos. At La Tagliata, there is no menu. You eat whatever they cooked that day - usually depending on what local produce they have or harvested from their own farms. For 25€ per person, you get unlimited wine and water, appetizers, pastas, dessert, and a lemoncello shot. They make their own wine, olive oil and lemoncello so everything is super fresh and homemade. Everything is family style so we were able to try a bunch of things - the broccoli rabe and eggplant were two of my favorite appetizers. The pasta was also really, really good. I think the ravioli or gnocchi were my favorites. For dessert, they bring you an assortment of Italian pastries, which was super neat. I also quite liked their lemoncello, which wasn't too tart or sour at all. Service was friendly and the wine kept coming - the moment we finished a bottle, another one appeared on the table. I highly recommend La Tagliata - it's such a steal! The food is amazing and the view is breathtaking. read more

La Tagliata - Italian Near Me - Positano, SA

La Tagliata is the stuff of legends. Seriously though. Gather round fellow Yelpers as I tell you the tale of La Tagliata. The day before my friends and I were to drive out from Naples for a day on the Amalfi Coast, we heard tell of a restaurant tucked away in the mountains of Positano. A family run trattoria sitting above the clouds with endless servings of food and even more endless pourings of wine. After many days of eating pizza on the cobbled streets of Naples, a feast above the clouds was just what we needed so we made our lunchtime reservations (unnecessary) and drove out for Positano. The road was narrow and perilous. Tight turns with limited visibility made for treacherous conditions but we continued on, passing by other cars, backpackers, and buses until we finally drove upon La Tagliata. We could have taken a shuttle up here, but who doesn't want to live a little dangerously. We were sat next to a view of cliffs for days and then the food came. It started out fast and strong and never stopped coming. First was the appetizers. Then came the veggies and pasta. Last up was the meat. I can't tell you how many different animals we ate during the meat round but it was at least 4. The first 2-3 rounds would have been a full course at any other restaurant, but the family running La Tagliata wanted to run no ordinary restaurant and provided no ordinary portions. My three friends and I must have eaten enough for 7. We walked off our food by taking a walk in the backyards of La Tagliata. This is where they grow the vegetables and raise the animals you are eating. It can be a little awkward looking upon a cow, knowing you probably just ate the cow's old farm mate. However, there's definitely something to be said about being conscientious of what you are eating and being aware of where they come from. After our walk was dessert and then our journey back down the mountain. All for 40 Euros. read more

The food was good but the transportation arrangements were terrible... Do not go to this restaurant!! The staff simply wanted to get rid of the customers since their travel services left for the evening going back into town and put us on a bus that routed us 10 miles out of the way on the other side of the city late at night. We finally found a taxi and had to double trip back to our hotel... Tourists Do NOT go to this restaurant!!! Never again for this place!! read more

My boyfriend and I share the same birthday. This year, we picked La Tagliata for our birthday dinner. It did not disappoint. Reservations are definitely required here as it is clearly a popular restaurant for tourists like us. When you make the reservation, the restaurant will coordinate a pick up at your hotel. Upon pickup, the van takes you all the way up the hill out of positano. The view from the restaurant is breathtaking. We got there for an 8pm seating and watched the sun go down over positano. There is no menu here. You make exactly one decision- red or white wine. Then you eat multiple courses of whatever mama makes. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming family atmosphere. The food itself is not the best Italian food you will ever have, but it is plentiful and delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

There was just way to much hype around this place and unfortunately it didn't really live up to it. The drive up and the view is beyond spectacular. It was breathtaking. The staff was sooo friendly and accommodating. They came to each table introduced themselves and gave you a little history of how the restaurant is family owned and who is doing the cooking. There was really no vibe over dinner just the chatter of the tables next to you would have been nice to have some Italian music playing. The amount of food you got for $40 euros not to mention unlimited wine ( which was homemade and tasted like vinegar) was insane. I think about 10 different dishes came out. Def tasted homemade. The anti pasta was yummy, so was the pasta but it wasn't the best I've ever had. The meat platter was not good at all. Chewy and over cooked and not well seasoned. Most of the food was very very salty. The dessert was nothing to rave about. I've eaten at chez black and Il Ritrovo and Da Adolfo on the beach. I would highly recommend those for good food over this place. read more

The service was fantastic. The restaurant has free pick up and drop off at certain hotels and our hotel was one of them. All the food here was very organic. For two bottles of wine and water with endless food (it really felt endless) it cost us 45 euros each. The way they serve the food is family style/tapa style with a lot of portions. I wouldn't say the food was mind blowing but it was good. For the price and amount of food they give you, I thought the price was a good deal. Definitely worth visiting at least once. read more

Believe the Yelp hype Setting alone is five stars Hare Krishna staff I doubt the waiters were really Hare Krishnas, but most of them sure looked the part. Similar clothing and lack of hair. Whatever, I was there for the food and the scenery. The drive up to La Tagliata is somewhat treacherous. Narrow winding road with heavy traffic up the side of a mountain. So worth taking the trip. For my Twin Cities Yelp friends, La Tagliata is kind of like Buca. The portions are large and meant to be shared with your group. Unlike Buca, there is no menu. They just bring you whatever they happen to be making that day. The food and wine both start coming out almost the moment you arrive. All of it was delicious, but the Gnocchi and Mama's Pasta (cheese ravioli like you have never experienced) were the standouts. I don't think I have ever been to another restaurant with as pleasant of a setting as La Tagliata. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

Italian food just like mama used to make... Well in this case mama is STILL in the kitchen, making it fresh every night. We even got to go in a meet her along with Papa (who I think just washes dishes or something). No menu, you just have whatever there making and it is a ton of food. Hint we got from a local - skip the bread. Plus it includes free wine. If you go on Friday they have music and the place gets really lively. The location is HIGH above Positano, but they will come and pick you up (although they were a little tardy so be patient - you are on vacation!) read more

La Tagliata - Italian Near Me - Positano, SA

We hired a local driver to bring us from Naples to Positano, and on the way he passionately recommended this place for a meal. He said that he cried the first time he ate here because it was like the food his mama made him. It was that and more. If you are looking for a typical restaurant experience where you order from a menu and customize your dishes, this is not the place for you. It is like eating in the home of an Italian family. Mama cooking (and she came out for an enthusiastic round of applause after the first course). Her sons serve you course after course of fresh food prepared by their mother. First came fresh bread and plates of antipasti and vegetables from the farm this is situated on as well as either the Tagliatta white or red white (we finished a bottle of each). Then 4 kinds of pasta. Then the meat course, which included steak and chicken and rabbit. Then the salad course (which seems odd to Americans but just go with it). Then limoncello and 3 kinds of dessert. The quality of the food is matched only by the view, which is the most beautiful I have ever seen. I recommend having your hotel reserve and ask for transport (they will send a shuttle for the long winding drive there and back. Ask for the first seating and depending on the time of year you might get to watch the sunset over Positano. read more

La Tagliata is a true family style dining experience in Positano. The food was amazing !!! It is farm to table therefore the menu is preset but they will accommodate the vegans and anyone with food allergies. The restaurant is situated on the top of a hill side , so of course you get the stunning views of Positano while you dine . They will pick you up and shuttle you back to your home too :) Amazing experience! read more

The setting is beautiful; the food, for the most part, was very good. However, we would like to warn foreigners ~ here is our experience. We arrived at the restaurant, and we were impressed by the setting. The owner greeted us, asked where we were staying, and then explained that there is no menu, the restaurant has a fixed menu. We were fine with that, but when the owner left I told my husband I hope we were not going to be charged more because of the hotel at which we were staying. (It's an expensive hotel that was part of a dream vacation for us; hence, we were only able to stay two nights.) Massimo was our server, and he was very friendly and explained every dish. Everything was very good, but when it came to the meat plate at the end, that was a problem. First, it was more than two people could possibly eat after four previous courses and second, the chicken on the kebabs was still raw as were most of the other meats, so we were only able to eat what looked properly cooked. We discovered that the cost was €45 per person. That still isn't bad compared to where we're from; but considering the meat plate and the fact that it was too much food for two people, it was disappointing. I commented about the price to my husband, and he said that he recalled seeing a board near the elevator. Upon exiting, he showed me the board. The board gave three prices depending on the menu (€35, €40 and €45). It is very easy to miss this if you don't take the elevator and if, like me, you're interested in taking pictures of the beautiful area. But whether you see the sign or not, you should be given an explanation as to what your choices are, and in fact, that there are choices. We also heard locals ordering a la carte, which made us feel more like we were being taken advantage of as "rich" tourists. One last damper on the experience was when it was time to pay the bill. We offered a Visa card. Massimo asked if we had cash; we said we didn't know they didn't take credit cards. Massimo replied that a card is OK and that we could leave the tip in cash. Tacky! Our experience after dining in many restaurants is that tipping isn't normally done in Italy. Some leave a few extra Euro as we have done on many occasions, but nothing like the States where 15%-20% is expected. Fortunately, we only had one other time where this type of "hint" was given. Both times we left tips which we were going to do anyway, but in the future, I consider that bad service, and in the States, for us, bad service means little or no tip. Again, the food is good, but make sure you know what your options are. read more

At first I was a little skeptical when someone told me about a restaurant way up high in Positano. Reviews looked great, and we were tired of the same places by the beach. Without our own car the restaurant offered a free shuttle picking up at our hotel, which we agreed to. As most of Amalfi, the ride is scary and we picked up other couples from other hotels. It was interesting as we didn't know what to expect. The place is run by a family and the cute young kids were running around helping. No menu, just plates of amazing food kept coming out. And a 2nd wine bottle showed up. Expecting to pay a LOT, it was our best value meal of the trip. Just go. Stop reading reviews and make a reservation. read more

La Tagliata - One of the many rounds - Italian Near Me - Positano, SA

This place is amazing - a must-try if you are visiting the area, even for lunch! We spent 2 weeks trying great food all over Italy, and this was the best meal and dining experience we had. A family-run restaurant, we showed up naively without a reservation, exhausted and hungry from our hike, to learn that they were fully booked for the lunch hour. However, the owner was kind enough to find a no-show table for 2 and serve us - would not recommend the walk-in approach that we took, though! COME HUNGRY! When you sit down, they will ask you 2 questions: "How did you find out about our restaurant?" and "Would you like red or white wine?" My kind of place! There is no menu, and they will serve you various courses of family-style meals until you burst. We did not have a single bad dish and were offered our fill of wine, and then finished off the meal with a shot of the best limoncello I've ever had. I don't often recommend a restaurant as a "must-try" but I truly believe this is an experience that would please any customer walking through their door, and it is offered at a flat-rate, phenomenal price, too! Cin cin! read more

How could an amazing place like this even be real? We first thought this is too good to be true. A couple by the beach had recommended La Tagliata for dinner, and when we called to make a reservation they said that they have a shuttle service that provides pick ups and drop offs. We seriously thought we're being scammed. But regardless we got ready and the mini bus picked us up. It was quite the drive up the mountain, about 20 minutes. But the ride was beautiful, for whoever that isn't afraid of heights. Because you literally look down to basically and endless mountain. Finally we got there and the place already had a unique look to it. We walked down these wooden stairs, going around their vegetable garden which was planted beautifully. We entered the restaurant which looked more like an Armenian wedding hall. There were so many decorations around, anything they found in the kitchen they used it as decoration. And I mean everything! Onions, ham, tomatoes, spatulas, pots and pans, etc. We were greeted by a very enthusiastic man who told us that him, his brother, his mother and father own the restaurants and he said this place is like your home and we what to make you feel that way. We were seated and right away a bottle of red wine came out. Then the fun part started, dish after dish after dish after dish. It was endless. The plates kept coming and they were each full of delicious food. Eggplant Parmesan, lentil, mozzarella, Prosciutto, pasta, different types of BBQed meats. So much! And the wine was never stopping. We were truly stuffed by the end of it. But then they brought out dessert, their tiramisu, lemon cake and chocolate cake. They were all so incredibly moist and delicious. We walked out stuffed with great food and great memories. read more

We recently visited La Tagliata while in Positano and had a very disappointing experience. To begin, the complimentary shuttle was way overbooked and many had to stand. Usually this isn't a problem but considering the roads are extremely curvy it's not ideal and it's a long bus ride up the mountain. Secondly, once we arrived at the restaurant they ask if my partner and I would like to share a 4 top table with a couple we don't know. When we both declined they stuck us in a corner next to a pole by the stairs with no view. Which is fine, but for the expensive meal and the trek up the mountain is what definitely disappointing to be stuck in a terrible seating location. When the food arrived it was extremely salty and less than mediocre. The chicken was fatty and the steak was almost inedible due to the fat content. The vegetables were way over salted. You don't get to order from a menu and it's all served family style. The cost is €50 a person and for €100 our money would have been best spent at another location. The couple next to us didn't enjoy their experience either but honestly there were tons of people who loved it. I honestly think that there are many smaller mom and pop restaurants that are much better options. You get better quality food for a better price that is not as big of a hassle to get to. When we booked (from a recommendation of a friend) we had expectations of a beautiful view of the coast and a lovely meal. However, those expectations fell well short. Look for other options and ask your hotel for recommendations. We found that they know the best spots for the best price and they will steer you the right way. read more

Go there with an appetite! When you make reservations, they send a shuttle bus to get you. You could drive yourself, but I'm not sure where you'd park. You could also take a taxi up there. But however you get there, go! The menu is a prix fixe including all drinks (their house wine included!). They bring you some antipasti to start. Then, you get more appetizers. (Their beans are to die for!) after that, it's on to the pasta. We got to sample 4 different kinds, one being better than the last! Meat comes next, and I finally got to try rabbit. The lamb was amazing. You get salad and potatoes during that course. Then, they serve dessert (if you can still eat!). The reason I haven't told you much about the food is because they change it. I'm not sure you'll get the same things we got. At one point, they had some musicians playing. They sang some traditional songs and really got the crowd involved. But the best reason to go is the view. You are high above Positano, and the vantage point is really something to see. This was one of the best evenings we spent, and we were in Italy for a month! read more

I usually peruse Yelp reviews BEFORE deciding where to eat but in this case the concierge at our accommodation recommended. We turned up with no reservation and the Maître d' took pity on us as we had walked down the road from the end of the Path of the gods trail in Nocelle. Our server explained the family owned, farm to table aspect of the business and the prix fixe menu. Each course was so good we did not pace ourselves appropriately and ran out of steam when the meat course arrived. Given the quality and portion of the food the price was surprisingly low (when compared to that of meals in the city center of Positano). We would 100% happily return to eat here if back in the area but (as others have noted) would book a reservation, take their shuttle or a taxi directly to the restaurant, and pace ourselves so as not to fill up on the earlier courses. read more

Best food of my entire Italy trip, no exaggeration. And stunning positano views. A must visit

Unfortunately I have to give La Tagliata a negative review. The view is, of course, amazing and the setting is wonderful, but we were so disappointed because my husband and I came to Positano in 2019 and had one of the best night of our entire vacation at this restaurant. It was the highlight of our trip and I have recommended it to so many since. Aside from the views and the steady outpouring of food and wine, there was live music and singing along and wait staff going from table to table to keep people involved and make sure everyone was having a blast. We have so many videos of that night that we shared with our kids and could not wait to bring them there. So when we brought our three adult children to the Amalfi Coast(this time staying in Sorrento) we knew a night a La Tagliata was a must do. We planned the whole day in Positano around going to dinner there. We arrived and they directed us to our table. The meal came out very fast and they just kept bringing dish after dish. It felt like they were just trying to move us along and turn the table and get us out of there and the next person in. The food was good up until the meat. The meat was ok. Odd random types of meat. The dessert was terrible. And there was no music. No joking around, no FUN! It was the biggest disappointment of our trip this time around. We showed the waiter the videos and he said oh we are not doing that tonight. We had to hire a private driver ahead of time to take us back to Sorrento at the end of the night but we're willing to spend the money for the amazing experience we thought the kids would get. I was truly so sad it wasn't anything like that night and would not got through the hassle of going all the way there again for that. Ironically, I have seen tik toks of the cooking class they host there and those classes look like the party we were at at our dinner there five years ago. Why don't they do that at the dinners any more? What a huge disappointment the whole thing was. Really. read more

La Tagliata seems to be the restaurant that everyone talks about in Positano that you have to dine at. It's really an entire experience. I booked a reservation about a month before and through email communication, you basically tell them where you're staying, and they will let you know where the free shuttle will pick you up, and drop you back off. Definitely a great perk with this restaurant. This place is so far up the mountain, it would be a real pain to get there on your own. Another great perk is the view. It's basically first come, first serve when it comes to the seating. Not sure you can request a window spot, but if you can definitely get it. It's a perfect view of the city. Probably the best perk of all. Most restaurants you go to in Positano, they have their house wine which isn't expensive compare to American wine menus. La Tagliata, it's all you can drink so have at it. The staff is great. They introduce themselves, explain the backstory of the restaurant, and explain what you're going to be having as a family style meal (apps, pasta, meats, and desserts). They also provide some entertainment during your meal with dancing and singing songs. It's just a great experience you need to see for yourself. They start you with prosciutto mozzarella which is great wherever you go. My only fault with the meal is you obviously are served with what they want to serve you. So for instance, the only food I do not like is ricotta cheese. It was unfortunate to say, but two of the four pastas were stuffed with copious amounts where my girlfriend couldn't even take it. The meat course however was amazing. I almost don't remember all the meats, but I think it was a dish of steak, pork-chop, chicken, rabbit, sausage and another meat as well. Dessert was a variety of cakes (hazelnut, fruit and an unknown due to the wine). I wish the pastas were doable for me, but I can tell this place can cook good food. It's not my favorite food in Positano, but this place is definitely worth it. La Tagliata I would say lives up to the hype. Service, food and view. Make a reservation and let the wine flowwwww. read more
