    Tiramisu
    Alex D.

    One of our favorite experiences in Positano so far and it's all because of the staff and atmosphere. The people here make this place so incredibly fun and they create an immersive experience for the patrons. They have live music while dining with the sweetest man playing Italian songs on his guitar encouraging diners to sing along. If the crowd is having fun they even pass out tambourines to join in. In addition to this, the food is great at an affordable price for this area! We had several glasses of wine, appetizers, entrees, and desert for right around 110 euros. We started with Zucchini Flowers stuffed with Ricotta, had Rigatoni in a bolognese sauce and a fresh seared Tuna Steak for the entrees, and ended with the Tiramisu. Everything was wonderful from start to finish. We seriously loved it here. If you're looking for good food at a great price and a fun atmosphere with lively staff, this is it!

    We were tired after a very long day of travel, checked into our hotel and asked for a recommendation. Our hotel suggested this restaurant but warned us we had about 20 minutes to get there before it closed 10pm on-a Sunday). They made reservations for us to let them know we were coming. We were seated quickly and proceeded to order right away (menus on QR codes). I needed something light since it was so late. I chose the Caprese salad which was so good. Fresh mozzarella. Nicely spiced, fresh tomatoes. It was a perfect I'm-so-tired-i-could-stand-up-sleeping-but-i-should-eat meal. Everyone loved their meals. The food came out individually so it was steaming hot. Glass of lovely red wine was 5-6 eu. Service was excellent, very casual and relaxed. Great way to start our trip.

    We stayed at a hotel that was a hop skip and a jump away so we had to check out Mediterraneo during our first night in town. AMBIANCE As we walked up the street, the place was well-lit and we were drawn to the restaurant and felt very welcomed. FOOD Frittura Mista di Pesce This was a mix of fried fish, fried calamari, and fried shrimp. The squid, fish, and shrimps were big in size. The fried batter was thin and not too salty. The shrimp is fried with the shell on. I didn't and don't care for fried fish so my hubby was more than happy to have my portion. Spigola all'Acquapazza The seabass was well made and really tender but there were some small bones. I'd prefer no bones so be careful eating. The dish was a nice and lighter choice. The chunks of potatoes and cherry tomatoes gave the dish a nice balance. Rigatoni al Ragu Napoletano The pasta was a little thick and a bit undercooked and the meat was more shredded than minced meat which is how I know of ragu. Panna Cotta- I got the chocolate flavor. The dessert was simple and topped with chocolate topped. The chocolate reminded me of the chocolate from a hot fudge sundae, not super sweet. SERVICE We didn't have reservations as we had just arrived that afternoon, but the staff didn't hassle us. The staff who greeted us within seconds of steeping in also seated us right away. The servers were all friendly and helpful. Overall, I'd say this is more of a simple seafood place and we had a good experience as it did the job for us.

    American Tourist here! With high American standards this place is completely awful and should be avoided at all cost. You will thank me later. The Service is sub par and expensive for the quality of food you are getting here. The pic shows you the smile I took of my wife went away quick after our first bite on our plates. Waiters are rude and management needs to lean in quick before they bankrupt your falling part business. This is by far the worst restaurant we had during our Positano trip. It all comes down to the food, it's by far awful. I definitely would avoid this restaurant at all cost if you ever can while in Positano. In that same street you have Posides who is by far have the best food quality from that entire street. The pizza place in front of Posides is also a good place.

    Linguine with fresh tomatoes, herbs & LOBSTER!   this dish was Fresh, savory & homemade pasta was PERFECTION.

    From the moment we entered the restaurant we were treated like family . The wine was crisp, bread was homemade & the crew worked seamlessly together to ensure all guests were smiling. I highly recommend this family owned restaurant. Make sure you make reservations, it fills up quickly!

    Spaghetti with clams

    Mediterraneo was a great spot located in the beautiful Positano along the Amalfi Coast. It is a local spot so not too many tourists. The service was so friendly and authentic. Like everywhere in Italy the service was slow, but I guess that's part of the experience. I loved the food, some of the best pasta I've had. The spaghetti with clams was off the menu and a recommendation from our waiter (it was twice the price?!). It was delicious. I also loved the gnocchi, the sauce was so cheesy. I love the way the cook the pasta in Italy, it's just so perfect. We were recommended this place by our taxi driver. So if you are looking for a local favorite, definitely give it a try. It's Italy, the food is gonna be fantastic most places you visit.

    Great staff!

    staff was amazing. Very funny. Very easy to talk to if you don't know Italian. Pasta and Seabass was perfect too. Great wine bottle prices. Spaghetti with shellfish was fresh and tasty!

    I went here with my wife for dinner. The attire is more on the casual side, and although people there were dressed up nicely, we felt overdressed. Pricing isn't bad. The menu was a little on the limited side for the Secondi and wine is only by the glass. Nastro azzurro was the only beer they have. The rigatoni was good. And for a Secondi got the boneless chicken leg, which is a little strange sounding, but was a nice change of pace from all of the pasta/steak I've been eating.

    Mixed vegetables

    Food was outstanding! The service was friendly and polite. Pretty good views of the water.

    Squid Ink Pasta! The 4 starts is for one of the best dishes I had in Positano! I remember the cool vibe but I don't recall the service being super but that pasta has burned a hole in my memory from 2 years ago. I am surprised it took em this long to circle back and write a review. I'm going back to Positano in a few weeks and there's a 100% chance I'll be going there again!

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!

Not to worry, there are several other excellent places to eat! Ciao!

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.
