    Entrance to La Terra
    Mari M.

    After hitting many of the major tourist cities in Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice, Capri), my husband and I were sick of getting soaked at tourist trap restaurants. We Yelped establishments in our out-of-the-way neighborhood of Montepertuso, outside the hot center of Positano with high hopes. La Terra had high ratings and low prices. Our kinda place. Boy, was it. As soon as we sat down, we received complimentary Prosecco and the most yummy amuse bouche. Fried zucchini flower balls stuffed with ricotta, and tasty bruschetta. Free. All free. We didn't want to eat heavily, so we ordered a pasta dish and grilled veggies (see photos) to share. Our attentive waiter responded to our modest order with "perfetto!" Nice. The grilled veggies were savory and the pasta - perfect for two, with generous surprises of capers, olives and cherry tomatoes. The bread was the best we've had in our three weeks in Italy, and I was not able to finish my 1/2 bottle of house red. As an aside, the dusk-time view of the Mediterranean was spectacular. Total price for this piece of heaven? €34. Don't miss this understated gem.

    Huge starter of carpaccio of catch of the day

    So glad we checked out yelp recommendations. Here in the height of summer, booked a table same day, picked up v promptly from our hotel in Positano and were given a window table so we enjoyed the sunset over the Amalfi coast as we dined. Service was lovely, everything perfectly timed, never rushed, excellent local wine recommendation View was of course amazing Food was delicious: for €135 (2 people) we had a bottle of water, and excellent bottle of local white wine, shared the starter of carpaccio of catch if the day on salad (it was HUGE and full of flavor), the clam, zucchini and zucchini flower pasta which was delectable (this part of the world just generally has the best clams ever) the husband had the seafood gnocchi which he especially praised for the reduction sauce, I had thin fillets of swordfish coated in almonds, with toasted almonds Sprinkled on top in a lemon sauce. Absolutely delicious. Also had a delicious amuse bouche of mixed cheese dumpling in a tomato sauce which was also brilliant. And limoncello to finish, of course Highly recommended for every single part that goes towards a wonderful restaurant experience

    The food was great, but a tad expensive. The service was excellent all night and they even gave us a shuttle ride back to our Airbnb. I highly recommend their POLIPO CROCCANTE SU CREMA DI PATATE E CHIPS DI TOPINAMBUR (crispy octopus on creamed potatoes and chips of topinambur) from their appetizer courses. The octopus was very flavourful and it paired nicely with fresh, crispy chips and the smooth creamed potatoes. Our favorite dish from the courses menu was the SCIALATIELLI AI FRUTTI DI MARE (homemade scialatielli pasta seafood). The fillet of seabass and steak were also very good.

    Amazing restaurant with a gorgeous setting, delicious food...it's a hike but so worth it!!!!

    The best minestrone made from vegetables they grow in the garden

    We had an amazing lunch at La Terra! Our tour guide recommended and brought us after our long hike. We were starving. It was late afternoon so we had the place to ourselves. The views are amazing and they opened windows for us. The service was impeccable. We started with salad, prosciutto and mozzarella, and the best minestrone I've eaten made with vegetables they grow in their garden. Next we had Spaghetti Pomodoro, Spaghetti Bolognese, and a fresh Amberjack fish fillet with lemon sauce. All were delicious!

    Just spectacular. We loved our visit to La Terra for lunch. The gentleman who picked us up at our hotel was a great driver, very hard working, and very friendly. Loved his music in the car! He also makes an incredible lemoncello spritzer drink! Best one we had on our trip!! My husband is the sea bass branzino and I had spaghetti alla putenesca (I am sure I spelled thus incorrectly...sorry!) And had the amazing profiteros for dessert. I recommend it all!! The decor is simple, but outstanding. Romantic and stunning views!!!

    A charming place away from the bustle of Positano. The tomatoes for the Caprese salad were ripe and married perfectly with the fresh and tasty mozzarella. Sparse on the basil and dressed as we liked, it was a great place for the Italian salad. The mussels were in a tomato sauce that tasted like it'd been marinating all day. Light, but flavorful. The spinach ravioli was simply divine. Balanced well with spinach and cheese, the sause complemented the flavorful pasta. To end, we enjoyed the delectable profiteroles. Drenched in chocolate that had a hint of a citrus flavor, the Chantilly made the dessert a superb ending to a delightful meal. The free shuttle and friendly service added to the evening.

    Pasta made in house

    Beautiful decor, smaller atmosphere, and delicious food! Good choice of restaurant that gets you away from the crowded feel of the Positano city center. Montepertuso is definitely worth a short trip up the mountain. Had their specialty made in house pasta (forgot the name) but it was great!

    Francesco has a great place. Outside of town, but the shuttle is great. Great food, local color, good wines, nice people. What more do you want?

    Lexy R.

    The place is an absolute must for the food and the sunset view. They will also send a shuttle to your hotel to pick you up and drop you off. The owner is great and everything on the menu is organic. Very romantic spot!

Many other reviewers have mentioned that this is the best meal that they've had in the entire country and unfortunately, without sounding like a false advertisement, I absolutely must agree. This was the best meal I have had in the entire country and I have traveled Italy extensively. They only have a couple of tables, the brothers, along with mama and Bridget, deliver an incredible meal, incredible experience, and the way the patrons feel after the experience cannot be matched. What the hell if we ordered Caesar salad, then meatballs, then gnocchi, then seafood with linguine, then the local catch of the day which today was amberjack, then ribeye, then dessert. I'm not alone in my prayer of this restaurant, my wife and my three children are unanimous that this was the absolute best meal that they have had in Italy. I strongly recommend this restaurant, but I would mention that you need to get there early because they do not take reservations. Please feel free to joke with Bridget about her Texan roots and her hallmark story which caused her to settle in Positano!

The Caprese salad was fresh and bursting with flavor, and the prosciutto salad was beautifully balanced with just the right mix of savory and sweet. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The drinks were equally impressive. The house Posides Spritz was refreshing and perfectly balanced made with a cherry liquor, and the limoncello spritz was smooth, bright, and easily one of the best we've had in Italy. We finished with an affogato that was the perfect finale, rich espresso poured over creamy gelato for a sweet, satisfying finish along with the seasonal cake. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening, making the experience feel personal and relaxed. The restaurant is a bit of a walk from the city center with a few stairs to climb, but it's absolutely worth it. The stroll back down afterward is the perfect way to walk off the meal. Between the amazing food, stunning terrace views, and kind service, Posides is a true Positano gem.

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.
