My husband and I came here twice during our 4 night stay in Positano during our honeymoon because it was that good. The food is delicious, seafood is fresh, service is outstanding and you feel like family. I highly recommend the sea bass with white wine sauce with potatoes and my husband said he will dream about the mussels in white wine sauce for the rest of his life. He had them 2 nights in a row and told everyone we met in Positano to go have them. Friday night they had live music and if you stick around late enough they pass out tambourines to their customers to join in on the fun. If you don't go early you will need to make a reservation, they get very busy around 830/9pm. Highly highly recommend! We will be back again one day read more

A must if you're in Positano!!! Amazing views and even better food, might be one of the best meals we've had since being in Italy! It's up the hill from the city center, not too many tourists and such a sweet vibe. read more

Don't believe the reviews. Great location, great strolling musician, but the waiters were insanely rude. Took over an hour and 40 minutes to get our dinner. Had one drink, had to asked 3 times to get water, bread and where our dinner was. Waiters were only interested in coercing people walking by to come in. When our entrees were finally served food was just ok. Sea bass was greasy, rigatoni was average. Rude slow service trumps average food. Our 5th dinner in Pasitano and the only bad dinner we had. Hard pass. read more

Loved it. I felt like I was getting homemade regional food. Small and quaint. Food was good. Service was good. Slow to get your bill so I needed to ask. (Seems normal for Italy). I would eat there again read more

This was our last night in positano, and I will say it was a good one. We ordered the fried zucchini with fried mozzarella and it was delightful. The main course I had was the paccheri seafood pasta with Clam, small shrimp, a dash of pesto and broccoli. It was very good. We also had the paccheri pasta with mozzarella, and meat sauce. They had a decent house wine, both red and white. The only knock I would give them was their service was a bit slow. It wasnt a very busy night when we were there for the restaurant and they seemed to always be chatting or talking to locals passing by. Not a big deal to me, but I know service is important. I would go back there, as they did have a great seafood menu and I barley scraped the surface. I would recommend this place. read more

This place was just okay. My husband and I came here for dinner one night on our honeymoon and both ordered the "homemade pasta" with shrimp, mussels, and claims. The fish was decent but the pasta was incredibly salty...gross! Service was not great either, the waiter didn't check on us once after we got our food. I wouldn't come back. read more

This was one of the few restaurants open during the winter. We stopped in after spending the day in Amalfi and we came between lunch and dinner. They kindly accepted us and we are glad they did!! We had some local red wine, a tomato based risotto with the local fish, squid, a jumbo prawn, and shrimp as well as bruschetta as an appetizer. No complaints! You know it's good when it is filled with locals!! read more

Mediterraneo - Mediterraean risotto with clams, mussels, squid, local fish, shrimp and a jumbo prawn - Italian Near Me - Positano, SA

This place is amazing!! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is A+!! My husband and I had the zucchini flower, clams and mussels, Seabass pasta, and tiramisu... everything was very good!! Probably one of the best meals we had in Italy. They have a guitar player that goes around singing and interacting with the guests.. in fact many of the staff are super friendly and come over to introduce themselves. Highly recommend. Make a reservation if you are going in the evening! read more

Food was OK, but misrepresented and not cheap. Lobster sold as "locally caught, Mediterranean lobster" was actually cold water lobster (most frequently found off the eastern costs of Canada and the US - the physical differences are OBVIOUS), and so was more than likely frozen, not fresh. I hate liars! The end of dinner was met by a cheesy band singing "Volare" to diners, followed by a request for tips and offers of a CD for sale by the band. This place should have a neon "Tourist Trap" sign glowing above it. Let my misfortune be your education - go elsewhere, fast! read more

On a recent trip to Positano in March, we visited this restaurant three times. Each of the times was just as good as the last. It was one of only 5 or so restaurants open during our time there. We had a fantastic wine tasting while we were there. We highly recommended Marco for this. You can contact him at marco.predieri@aruba.it Marco was the best tour guide we could have asked for. Anyways, back to the restaurant... We had prosciutto and mozzarella, grilled shrimp, calamari, gnocchi, and seafood risotto. Everything was great! The owner and staff were extremely friendly. I highly recommend!! read more

Amazing dining experience - immediately got a seat with a brilliant view without a reservation. Staff and service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Don't miss the zucchini flower appetizer! Just got to Positano today hoping to eat here again before we leave. read more

Wow!! Dinner and a show! Probably the best meal I've had in Italy and it made me feel like home. I was surrounded by the music I heard my parents raise me on (I'm not even Italian). Definitely recommend the seafood risotto! Not fishy and the sauce is similar to a Spanish paella but with risotto read more

Service was excellent but food was average, especially for the price. The fried zucchini flower had too much ricotta and was bland. The flavor of the homemade pasta with shrimp, clams, and mussels was very good but the seafood did not taste fresh, especially after having amazing mussels @ Saraceno d'Oro the night before! read more

LOVE the food, staff, and hospitality of this place. We ended up going back 3 times during our visit to Positano. I am vegetarian and highly recommend the Gnocchi. My husband got the seafood risotto and said it was the best he's ever had! read more

Fantastic food! This was one of the few places open during our trip to Positano in winter. We had the gnocchi, home made pasta with eggplant and tomato sauce, a side of grilled vegetables and the lemon creme cake. Everything was delicious! read more

We traveled to Positano from Sorrento and got here around 5:00, not having any plans for dinner. After we acclimated ourselves to the hotel and chilled out for a little bit I opened up Yelp to see if there were any recommendations around our hotel. Within seconds I showed the concierge my top three Yelp choices and they told me Mediterraneo could take us at 9:00. (By the way- they were the only restaurant in my top three that had five stars!) Mediterraneo is a casual and lively restaurant. After reading the other yelp reviews I ordered the zucchini florets which were amazing. My daughters gnocchi was also amazing, my sons spaghetti with meat sauce he said was great (he's a picky eater!) and my husbands sea bass was mild and delicious. I told Lorenzo (one of the owners) that I'm a vegetarian, and he suggested a delicious pasta with diced eggplant and cherry tomatoes which was out of this world! Speaking of Lorenzo, he was incredibly personable, walked us through the Italian tipping system versus the American one, gave us a suggestion for dinner for our last night here, and a great gelato place to stop by and try. The best is yet to come- we left our key to our room at the restaurant and as we were telling the front desk that we left our key at the restaurant, up comes Lorenzo on his Vespa to drop off our key at our hotel! Who does that?! You must go to Mediterraneo for the delicious food and for the wonderful customer service from Lorenzo!!!!!! read more

This is the best restaurant I've been to so far in Italy. I was in Amalfi for 5 days and nothing compares. I got the sea bass and my husband got the neopalitano pasta and everything we received was so fresh and delicious. This place is a gem and I'm honestly considering coming back while we're here. I definitely recommend!! read more

Great family restaurant that has been in business for generations. The food and service were excellent. They served a before dinner and after dinner drink at no charge. They were very kid friendly and served the three year old child immediately. Would highly recommend. read more

Great food and amazing staff! Highly recommend. Get the octopus, get the specials, get it all!

Dinner at Mediterraneo in April'18 and it was amazing. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary in Positano and this place was recommended to us by a local. Service was outstanding and the food was seafood aligned but unique compared to other equivalent restaurants in Positano. Highly recommended for a nice dinner. read more

My wife and my favorite place in Positano. We stumbled upon them our first night there and made sure on our last night we stopped in again! Insanely fresh seafood dishes, amazing pasta options, and the staff!!! So accommodating, fun and helpful. They had a local guitarist come in one night and he really added to the atmosphere. I could not recommend this place more if I tried. If you're staying by the beach, it's a bit of a climb but if you're staying farther up, it's an easy walk. read more

We became a regular while we were staying in Positano. Loved the food, service and ambience.

The food is great and with reasonable prices. The host was also very kind, even helping us find the beach when we got lost. Put on top that the live entertainment that was wonderful and at one point everyone in the restaurant got tambourines to play along. Highly recommend 7/5 read more

I lived in Positano for 3 weeks, so trust me when I say that this is one of the best restaurants in Positano. Our land lady recommended it to us. And I'm really glad she did. You feel like you are at the locals' hangout spot. People are constantly stopping to say hello and waving to the owners. A great environment for those that want to feel like they are part of the local community and not a tourist. There is a guitar player that plays there on Wednesdays who is fantastic, the best part is that you don't have to worry about him asking for donations after playing. He will take requests too! The food is really flavorful and simple, but a great example of the local cuisine. My staple there is the scialatielli with clams, mussels, and other fruits of the sea, in the local cherry tomato sauce. Pair it with a local white Tramonti wine and you got something special. For dessert I highly suggest their semifreddo (an ice cream like dessert)! When in doubt always ask your waiter. They will not lead you astray. read more

The service was great here and the live music was a nice touch. I would love to give them a better review but my friend and I got violently ill after they served us contaminated veal scallopini. Unfortunately I would have to recommend you Stay away from this place read more

Aggressively fine. It's not going to piss you off and it's not going to blow your mind. Waiters were very cute great fun. Food was average. No one complained, no one raved. Go here for a serviceable, forgettable meal. read more

Zucchini flower appetizer very good. Excellent seafood. Baby squid pasta delicious. Portions on the medium sized side but in-line with the prices. After four days of eating large meals, this was exactly what we were looking for. read more

My wife and I had homemade pasta which was pretty good. The sauces were good but lacked enough flavor to get any real excitement from us. Delicia de Limone was good and very refreshing. They brought us a couple Lemoncellos (Lemoncelli?) on the house at the end of the meal. Waitstaff was good and attentive. Probably should be a three and a half star. Solid choice in a tourist town. Wasn't in love with the TV on at dinner but that is just me. read more

Ran into this restaurant a bit after close after being put off by all the attitude at Next2 Positano after asking about stopping in just for dessert after 10 PM. The owner of Mediterraneo repeatedly apologized that the kitchen just closed and to please come back tomorrow - but was willing to box up some dessert for us to go after learning that was all we wanted. He even let us borrow some spoons!! Extremely welcoming hospitality - and the semifreddo and lemon cake were delicious!! read more

Five star dining experience. Excellent staff and service, wonderful prices, tremendous food.

My husband and I got pasta. Both pasta were undercooked, and the sauce was lacking in flavor. It was a disappointing meal, since it came highly recommended. Service was ok. Not worth the money spent. read more

Just had a very nice dinner with love music and entertainment. The staff was very nice and made sure everyone in the restaurant was having a good time. The food was also quite good. The tempura zucchini was a great appetizer and the baby octopus was quite tasty. read more

Looking to have fun and sing along? This was a most entertaining place with singing waiters but food was disappointing... tricolor salad was arugula with tomatoes...tomatoes tasteless and colorless in appetizer with mozzarella...very little basil. Not wowed with seafood risotto. read more

The best Italian food I have ever had in my life. Added to the amazing honeymoon experience we had in Positano! The owner is incredibly helpful and friendly. We loved the live entertainment. We actually went to this restaurant twice in the 4 nights we were there. I hope we can get back there soon! read more

This place was average at best. It came very highly recommended to us and we were really disappointed. The staff was very friendly and the ambiance was lively, but I would give the food a C-. We ordered the zucchini appetizer and it wasn't good at all, it tasted as though it was from trader joes frozen section and reheated. The risotto was ok, the gnocchi ok. Neither were anything like the other delicious food we've had on the trip. The fresh Parma and melon was delicious. The wine was good. Personally I think there are better places you can spend a dinner at in Positano. read more

Excellent meal and a fabulous panna cotta for dessert. Excellent service and a great outside patio.

This stands out, to everyone in the family, as the worst dinner, ever. initially, it was promising. Service started well, and two of the appetizers- zucchini flowers as well as melon and prosciutto were pretty good. The calamari was atrocious. Not only was it huge rings of Unchewable tubes, it was so over salted that you got blisters just trying to bite into it. Even my brother in law, a man who will eat anything, registered It 'inedible' . We did tell the waiter, but we still paid for it. My nephew got plain pasta. That was the highlight of the second course. Captivated by the words'housemade pasta', My sister and I both ordered it. The sauce sounded appealing, tomatoey with seafood, but I should have asked more questions, cause the seafood was octopus. Period. The word 'mixed' that may or may not have been on the menu must have meant mixed pieces of octopus. That was our fault for not asking. It was not our fault that the pasta was so thick (and undercooked) that you couldn't, in fact eat it. I shuffled mine around the plate, looking for thinner pieces, but there were few. Ugh, it was gross. Also gross, was my nieces octopus and tomato pasta. I know they sound like the same thing, but they were different. My sauce was okay- the pasta was inedible and it wasn't advertised as octopus pasta. Her sauce was super fishy, in a brackish sort of way. My brother in law wouldn't eat it ( usually, he mines the table for leftovers. At this place, he gave it a pass) my husband ate his fish, which earned a 'fine' rating. I was so busy looking for edible food on my plate that I forgot to steal a piece. The service was inattentive after he initial order; we had to flag the waiter down or go get him if we wanted anything, including undelivered food. Finally, for some INSANE reason, my mother wanted dessert. There was a mirror by the cake plate; the waiter looked in the mirror, smoothed his hair , then picked up the cake with the very same unwashed hand. It was all too much. read more
