We were quite starving after spending the afternoon sight seeing and then baking on the beach in Positano. We came across this restaurant quite by chance and thought we would try some pizza. We managed to get a table very quickly and the service was very fast. Pizza was really good and prices were quite decent. read more

For what it's supposed to be it's fine. We didn't have dolce which was a huge mistake apparently... But this is a good and cheaper place to eat in town before hittin the beach for some serious tan time:). BONUS- tables are super cute!!! read more

We were in the Amalfi cost for 10 days and stayed at Villa La Tartana right by this amazing place! Amazing Canolis and Cakes and great coffee. Service was always prompt and very friendly staff. read more

Best Lunch view ever!! Great outdoor garden that gives you a wonderful view and breeze...the Panini's were delicious and not very expensive. I was surprised to see that when we ordered they took it down in this electronic pad..even when we got our check they showed us the amount on the screen first before a receipt...very high tech. They had a nice variety of brunch/lunch and drinks too. I also ordered an iced orange drink...delicious!! Great place for a quick lunch inexpensive lunch with an amazing view...and shade (it was very hot that day!) read more

La Zagara - View from the garden - Cafes Near Me - Positano, SA

It's a little bit of the touristy underbelly. Deserts are yummy. That's about it. If you want to go get a delicious meal by the cliffs and vineyards and have a trillion dollar view with everyone dressed to the nines, in Italian fashion, hip handmade linen couture, and food that will blow your mind, this is NOT the place. The food is decent. The quite lovely but there's much better views and food if you do a bit more research (or simply keep walking to a better place) there are too many to count. But please. Avoid the places where the guests are sweaty men in tank tops and armpit stains sitting in plastic chairs read more

Great views, perfect lunch spot. Delicious pizzas sold by the slice and tiramisu cake that won't break the bank. Waitstaff is fluent in English. You can buy things at the counter in the front to-go or you can sit down in the back and enjoy the scenery. Service is a little on the slow side but that is typically what I see throughout Europe so it wasn't that much of a big deal to me. read more

2 words only: LEMON TIRAMISU. When I lived in Positano for a month, I came to this bakery and ate a lemon tiramisu every day for breakfast. (PLEASE, NO JUDGING). I cannot remember if I tried anything else at the time, but all I remember was that delicious lemon tiramisu. You know how sometimes your mind can hype things up? Well, I was afraid that my mind hyped up my beloved lemon tiramisu. Alas, when I tried it again recently, it was as delicious as I remembered! All is well in the world (:* P.S.: I think on certain nights it turns into some sort of jazz club or something. I think I randomly read about it in Rick Steves' book. read more

Their dessert is on point here!!! Order the lemon sorbet. You will love it. It is the best dessert I have had in SO long. I didn't order any real food. Just indulgent sugar after a long hike up the Positano town. The $5 house sparkling wine is also a nice addition to your dessert after a hot day. read more

La Zagara - Éclair, cannoli, mini pie, lemon sorbet, strawberry granita, sparkling wine - Cafes Near Me - Positano, SA

The coffee and food are good here. It's Positano, so the prices are a bit extravagant. Orange juice, three sips maybe, is 5€. On the other hand, panini is 7€. read more

Hands down the best mousse I've ever had in my entire life: pistachio mousse. The desert here is fantastic and a must try while in positano!!! read more

Great hidden restaurant with a garden settings. The servers are so friendly. If you want to avoid the sticker price down the beach, go here. The lasagna was great. read more

This was such an unexpected treat. The lemon tiramisu (does not contain coffee) was probably the best dessert I had in Italy and one of the best I've ever had anywhere. My friend said her chocolate mousse was even better than the one she had in Paris and one of her all time faves . Although it was a very hot day, the outdoor area is tucked in a beautiful lemon grove and they have these water mist machines that keep you cool without really getting you wet (better than American ones). Cannot speak for the savory food items, as we did not have any. But the desserts are top shelf...don't miss this place!! read more

This is a great place for a light lunch or an afternoon pick me up out on the deck. The meals are not bad, but their specialities really are their desserts. If you do decide to eat on the deck and get lunch, be prepared to slow down. Remember that you are in Italy, and they are more relaxed about service. So take a deep breath and enjoy the view. read more

I'm a NY native who is completing the tour of Italy in this small town of Positano in the Amalfi coast. Their deserts and service were excellent. I've tried about 5 of them and overall each was above average -- the pistachio mouse is probably the best dessert I've ever had -- hands down. read more

This is by far the worst place in Positano, better yet the worst place in Europe I've eaten at, period. The service was awful. The main server came up to us with high anxiety and sat us, then left us with no menus for a while, while he was running around like a chicken with his head cut off. When we got our food, the gnocchi was actually horrible! Which I thought would be impossible in Europe. The ravioli was mediocre. I was actually angry I went to this restaurant, you might as well go to an Olive Garden. Just don't waste your money at this place, it truly SUCKS. read more

La Zagara is a nice place to sit down and relax, enjoy a drink and some snacks, and then get back to the business of shopping in Positano. It's almost twice as expensive to sit and order than to get the same item from the counter. But I tried the same pizza sitting down and a day later for take-away, and it was much better sitting down. Not sure why, maybe had to do with the heating/reheating method. We had the aperol spritz (tasty - highly recommend), a few lattes (also fine, but NEVER hot enough in Italy in general for me), and a few slices of pizza. Very reasonable cost for Positano for a light meal in a relaxed setting. The seating area is tucked away in a courtyard with beautiful enormous lemon trees surrounding it. There is no water or cliff view, but it's still a very relaxing atmosphere. There is also a nice restroom, which is so difficult to find in touristy places in Italy. read more

Not impressed. Food was mediocre and the service was pretty terrible. Out of all the wonderful places to stop in while in Positano, definitely skip this one. read more

One of the only places in Pasitano that opens before 12:30 for a average late lunch or breakfast. The patio is better than average. Don't be fooled by other reviews, the view is great but not as good as many others. read more

This is a great spot to stop and get a macchiato on the way to and from the beach. The bar is small, but the espresso perfect. The courtyard has misting fans which cool things down a lot. The peach Bellini is superb! read more

We stopped by here twice while in positano. Once for gelato and once for wine and a slice of pizza. We thought it was perfect for snacks, and the food was good. read more

You can do much better than this at lunch and dinner in Positano. Food is mediocre, service is really lousy, expect your food to be something other than what you ordered. If that's ok, go here. If not, find somewhere else. read more

This place is a tourist trap. The Gelato was awful and they charged €5 for a very small lemon ice. Do not go here.

Walked by the window on the path to the beach in Positano. On our way back to the hotel we stopped in because of the delicious looking dark chocolate cake. We wanted to buy a bottle of wine too and the gentleman not only made a recommendation but had the bartender open a bottle so we could taste....it was excellent, and so was the cake!! Great service, great cake and a wonderful wine recommendation!! Grazie Grazie!! read more

Great lunch spot. Delicious cannoli and very friendly proprietor.

This restaurant is the worst experience I've ever had. The bathroom smell is unbearable and even on the terrace we could still smell it.

Do not waste your time. Weekend nights loud music. We went on a Monday night and very slow, no music which was okay but terrible service. Ordered sliced tomatoes with mozzarella and basil. No basil and served with a packet of olive oil and a packet of balsamic. Tacky for Positano. read more

Their cannoli are amazing!! That's the only thing I can review because we got cannoli each of the 5 nights we were in Positano. Get t for takeaway and its 2.50 each! read more

It's a grocery store / restaurant, with an outdoor patio covered in vines, very tropical feel. Solid food, for a reasonable price. Panini and salad both above average. Negroni cocktail was solid too. read more

Chocolate sponge cake!!!! It's a moist delicious cake with fudge like frosting!!! Delicious, very reasonable price and open late! Very nice staff, great spot, have dozens of dessert options including gelato, espresso and full bar and meals as well!!! Will be retuning for seconds! Gratzie Mille read more

My husband & I went to Zagaras for dessert every night of our 3 night visit to Positano! Delicious sweets & gelato, cappuccino. Great service & a lovely area to enjoy it in! I highly recommend it & we are Ny'ers so we know delicious sweets! read more

Good location with garden to escape the afternoon sun. Sandwiches are good and drink prices not to pricey. Service is so so.

Horrible food and service! Pizza taste dry and out of microwave. Wait staff was rude. Whole experience was very disappointing for first stop in positano. Had way better meals everywhere we've eaten for last 2 weeks in Italy. Definitely our worst experience. Hope we can save someone else from this place read more
