Osteria Positano is conveniently located on the ground floor of The Marlin Hotel, making it an easy option whether you're staying at the hotel or exploring South Beach. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The bar isn't very large, but it comfortably accommodates a good number of guests. The atmosphere is quiet, relaxed, and perfect for a leisurely meal or cocktail. On my first day at the hotel, I stopped in for a late lunch. Tania, my waitress, was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout my visit. In fact, every member of the staff I encountered while coming and going from the hotel was pleasant, welcoming, and courteous. I ordered the bruschetta, the shrimp and calamari salad, and an Espresso Martini. The bruschetta was fresh, with flavorful tomatoes and perfectly toasted bread. The shrimp and calamari salad was outstanding fresh, generously portioned, and beautifully prepared. The appetizers were so filling that I can only imagine how generous the entrée portions must be. Overall, it was a wonderful first dining experience, and I'd gladly return. read more

Osteria Positano is good. We ordered the ribeye, and chicken pasta and some sides. Everything was freshly made, and looked beautiful, however, it wasn't that great. Unfortunately, nothing pops out about Osteria Positano. Nothing from the bread, to the steak, to the ribeye to the coffee. Just average. At nearly $300 plus for a family of 4, I'd suggest you go elsewhere. Cheers to better eats Yelpers xx read more

Want a piece of Positano Italy without going there? Look no further! Osteria Positano has some of the best pasta and pizza I've had outside of Italy in the Italian way, made from scratch. Service is super helpful and friendly - we asked for recommendations specifically catered for non pork options and the staff was kind and attentive and offered a lot of different options. We ended up with a tartufo gnocchi and a burrata pizza but put the mortadella on the side. Perfect to share for two people. The space just looks like you're transported to the coast, great vibes, even singing for birthdays you can hear from other tables, a real treat from the hustle and bustle of Miami Beach. Highly recommend if you want something a bit more chill and relaxed with great food made with care in the Italian way. read more

Loved the vibe here, from the lovely decor to the excellent service, it made us feel like we escaped to the coast of Italy. Had a family dinner here and they always had our drinks on deck and water glasses filled. Honestly for a busy Friday night, they were amazing!!! We had a party of 9, everyone loved their food, anything with truffle is def a recommendation and the tiramisu is a must!!! read more

Arrived to the restaurant with a reservation at 845 and it was very busy. Beautiful elegant and cozy interior and cute outdoor area. The woman that sat us handed my daughter and I menus and said "for the lady", and handed my very pretty but short haired wife a menu and said nothing. An awkward interaction at best. Next our server came and took our orders and served some delicious warm bread with olive oil and vinegar. The food: Salmon dinner: son said the salmon was tender and flavorful and the veggies were tasty. The potatoes arrived a bit cold. Linguini with clams: my order and everyone at the table snagged a few bites. It was very flavorful with a great presentation. A slightly small portion. Cesar salad with chicken: wife's order. Salad was fine but the chicken was dry. Caciao a pepe (I think) table side pasta dish with pasta tossed in a big cheese wheel with burrata cheese and truffles. This dish was $$$$ and expectations were high. Unfortunately the pasta was VERY COLD and the truffle flavor was completely overwhelming. After about ten minutes we finally got our server's attention and he brought the dish back to the kitchen to reheat. I like truffles to the point where I get truffle fries whenever I can, and have a bottle of truffle oil at home that I use regularly, however, this was a pretty intolerable level of truffle flavor. We left with the dish, mostly uneaten. Besides the food, we ordered three Shirley Temples and one glass of Pinot Grigio. Our total bill was around $280. I had high expectations but for the price point we left feeling very disappointed. read more

Osteria Positano was the perfect spot for our bachelorette dinner in Miami. We had a reservation for nine girls and from start to finish, the experience was amazing. They seated us upstairs, which felt private and ideal for a lively group with such a great setup. We shared a bunch of appetizers, including a huge meat platter with steak, lobster, mashed potatoes, and veggies, plus a tartare and an octopus dish. Everything was absolutely delicious and perfect for sharing. For my main, I ordered the carbonara and wow it had incredible flavor. It was definitely rich and heavy, but 100% worth it, especially with all that bacon . Drinks were great, service was fast and attentive, and the energy was fun without feeling chaotic. They also performed "Single Ladies" for the bride with a free cannoli , which made the night even more special and unforgettable. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing vibes. Highly recommend, especially for celebrations. read more

Loved the intimate dining experience, excellent Italian food, and great service here at Osteria Positano. Of the many dishes we tried as a group, the standout for me was the Prime Beef Carpaccio and the Terra E Mare special plate. The carpaccio was so tender and flavorful, and the Terre E Mare was a trio of proteins including steak, lobster, and octopus. It's described as being portioned for 2 people, but our group of 9 was able to share plenty of bites as an accompaniment to our entrees. The octopus particularly impressed me with how tender and flavorful it was. They didn't hold back on the presentation either: it's dramatically presented on a platter with two sets of flames, which our group loved. For my entree I opted for the classic pasta carbonara because I had heard it was authentic here. While I have no personal experience to verify the authenticity, the pasta was perfectly al dente and delicious- I would order this again. The service was excellent throughout the meal. When the staff heard that we were here to celebrate a bachelorette, they went above and beyond to play 'Single Ladies' on the restaurant speakers and served the bride a cannoli with sparklers. We were already having a good time, but this definitely made the night even more memorable. The only thing I didn't like was when a photographer came up to us and started taking our photos without our consent. They didn't introduce themselves but they seemed to be affiliated with the restaurant? They gave us a complimentary postcard photo, which was nice, but then started to show us the prints to try and sell them to us. I wonder what they'll do with the prints we didn't buy. It felt very Las Vegas Strip tourist trappy, which left a significant damper on an otherwise wonderful restaurant ambiance. - Ambiance: 3/5 (5/5 if not for the photographer) - Food: 4.5/5 - Service: 5/5 read more

We came here for a quick late lunch spot as we were driving through and it was raining. We didn't need a reservation and they sat us right away. The restaurant is large and very clean.

Our server Samuel was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu told us what's good and about the specials. I love this place. read more

Found this place on Yelp, and it was by far one of the best places we ate at in Miami. Starting strong with the ambiance, it is both cute on the outside and inside. It feels like Positano! The staff was great, the general manager sat us, introduced himself and shared the menu. Juan our server was super friendly and attentive. Now on to the good stuff! We started the meal with their fresh bread and oil/vinegar. For appetizers we had the meatballs, they had great flavor and the sauce was delicious. For dinner I had the vodka pasta, I substituted the penne for rigatoni (recommended by our waiter) and added burrata. It was super yummy. My bf had the salmon, he said it had great flavor and was cooked to perfection with a crispy skin. This place was a 10/10 and would highly recommend. read more

Let me start by getting something out of the way... THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING! We came for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. I'm so glad we did. Pedro was an incredible server. He was attentive, matched our sense of humor, was extremely accommodating, and gave us amazing recommendations. The restaurant is beautiful and while some Halloween decorations were up, the place looks and feels like you are in a restaurant in the Amalfi Coast. Now the food. If I could give it more stars, I would. We started with the cured meat and cheese board. The prosciutto was excellent, mortadella and coppa were also of very high quality. The cheeses were also amazing! We then shared the soup, which was a cream of zucchini and was made with ricotta, it was delicious! My wife ordered the Linguine alle vongole (clams) it was spectacular. I ordered the Special Rigatoni Carbonara and OMG, it was a dish to remember. It was done the traditional, and the proper way of making carbonara (guanciale, Pecorino Romano and black pepper in a creamy egg yolk sauce). What made it special was adding fresh truffle and a burrata. I say it again, OMG! Incredible dish. We were already full, but due to the special occasion we sacrificed and got dessert. The pistachio gelato, made in house from scratch... it was so good. It's definitely a dessert to share between 3-4 people, but we are professionals and took it down between the two of us. We also had an Amaro Montenegro as an after dinner cordial. It was very smooth and much lighter than what I'm used to with the Amaro di Capo. What an amazing meal and experience. This was our first time but will return. Definitely a memorable time. And thank you Pedro for the fantastic service! See you soon! read more

Simply Amazing! We've seen the Italian restaurant Positano on our trips to Miami Beach and now we decided to try it. It was a smart move even on a recent rainy Monday night. The restaurant was surprisingly crowded but that did not slow down the gracious greeting by the Hostess nor the service. As a starter, we decided to share Calamari & Shrimp which was delicious and not the run of the mill which now seem ubiquitous in so many places. Well served. As our entree, my wife chose the Pasta Casio e Pepe with Truffle while I ordered the Pasta Ragu which is basically beef with pasta and tomato sauce served with cheese fondue. Very flavorful. We both had a glass of Malbec to accompany the meal. No room for the tempting desserts..this time! Positano's decor is tastefully retro and classy and our server German and the staff is well synchronized to make this a proper dining experience. The restaurant is situated inside the historic Art Deco 1939 Marlin Hotel on Collins Avenue. Tutto Bene, we'll be back. read more

Osteria Positano - Inside restaurant - Italian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Go for Italian while in Miami. And visit this place! Service is very friendly. Our waiter Juan had excellent recommendations and prepared 2 dishes "table side preparation" with attention to detail and great explanations. Hostess and all staff were equally friendly and helpful. Ambience is somewhat relaxed. You can have a nice date or enjoy time with the family. There is an outdoor patio so you can people watch in Collins av. You can also enjoy some A/C inside. On to the food. Top notch home made pasta. Best was the Special Alfredo pasta w Vodka and Truffle (table side prep). Seafood linguine and Special Linguine Scoglio were very tasty, with generous portions of seafood and excellent pasta. We will be back to try the Tiramisu! Also, great wine selection and creative cocktails! read more

Beautiful spot in South Beach. Very impressive service. Food was super high quality and the specials menu made it even better. Great pasta, make sure you get the bread as it has extra salt in it so when you dip it in olive oil it's already seasoned.

Osteria Positano is not quite a hidden gem but it's tucked away inside The Marlin Hotel embracing the Miami Beach ambiance. It's some of the most authentic Italian food, serving fresh pastas, delicious meats and a variety of seafood dishes. The Cacio e Pepe Truffle Gnocchi was the standout dish, which was pillowy soft, rich and cheesy with the perfect amount of truffle. The salmon was just as impressive, perfectly seared with a delicate, flaky interior, and served with fresh vegetables. Really enjoyed the ambiance, food and the Aperol Spritz's. Highly recommend this place if you find yourself in Miami Beach. read more

My coworkers and I were invited to Happy Hour in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. The restaurant itself is very cute and has a great atmosphere to it, feeling almost like a brick restaurant you might find in Brooklyn. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food we had was appetizers, but oh man, the squid and calamari in particular were extra delicious. The drinks were top notch as well! I had the mojito and it was perfect. The dessert was also extremely good! Definitely look to come here if you're coming with a big party or something intimate. Until next time folks! Enjoy the meal! read more

PHENOMENAL service, ambiance, and of course, FOOD! I just got back from a trip to Europe myself 3 weeks ago and it was like I was thrown right back to the old continent Our server, Allegra, was so gracious and had the most infectious energy and smile. She's a fashionable Milan woman and guided us through the restaurant's menu and her personal favorites. We went with all her recommendations and had one of the best meals we've ever had in all of Miami. My favorites? The Carbonara with freshly-made rigatoni pasta, fresh warm burrata, and freshly-shaved TRUFFLES AND the tiramisu, which is made tableside and is a complete show and SO FRESH. The food photos speak for themselves: Just go there and YUM already. read more

Food was delicious, especially the creamed zuchinni soup. Service was friendly and attentive.

This place is a rip off. I ordered the special for $14.95 for Delivery. The guy said delivery was $3.00. We were expecting $17.95 plus tax. When the guy should up he said our bill was $23.41. He had no receipt or explanation for the charge. I don't think Florida tax on $17.95 is $6.46, THIS PLACE IS A RIPOFF!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! I called the restaurant and the guy hung up on me and would not explain the charges. HORRIBLE PLACE TO ORDER DELIVERY FROM! read more

What a crazy experience! Boyfriend and I went to Miami for our anniversary and made reservations here for our anniversary dinner. We decided to come in early because the weather had been insane ! We were greeted immediately by the friendly staff and entered a beautiful dining area. While the restaurant was empty (due to the crazy rain) it was still lively. Due to the rain so many obstacles came about (power went out which caused some issues in the kitchen) we decided to move outside which was still romantic and beautiful (even with the rain) ! I believe the manager was on site this evening and offered us complimentary champagne due to the "inconveniences" We ordered... - fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp - chicken Parmesan - calamari and shrimp Everything was absolutely delicious. Noodles seemed fresh and the Alfredo sauce was flavorful. The shrimp was plump and the chicken had the perfect crisp. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and would recommend it to anyone. read more

There are plenty of Italian restaurants in Miami Beach and I've eaten in most of them but this one is special. Not only was the food spectacular but the ambiance was romantic and the main dining was gorgeous. Located on 12th and Collins, this corner restaurant will definitely satisfy your tastebuds. For apps we ordered the Beef Carpaccio and Foccacia Burrat Proscuitto. Both were very fresh and delicious. Their carpaccio was thinly sliced to perfection. The burrata and prosciutto together were a match made in heaven. We also got cocktails to start, an Espresso Martini and Negroni. Both were made very well. Not watered down. For the main course, the Lamb Chops were perfectly cooked. Tender and juicy. We also got the Special Cacio E Pepe, served table-side in a cheese wheel. Such a lovely presentation indeed. For the side, we shared a Caeser Salad cause we just love the dressing and it's a classic. For dessert, we got the homemade Tiramisu also served table-side. It was so rich and tasty but not too sweet. A great finale indeed. We had a delightful time here. Service was very attentive. Our server checked up on us several times. The quality of the food was great and the restaurant was breathtaking. Perfect for a date or a big celebration with family or friends. read more

The restaurant and staff were great and accommodating to our group of 5. The ambiance was amazing and felt very Italian. The appetizers were all great. The tuna tartare was good and the burrata was nutty but not overwhelming- great combination. The calamari and shrimp were cooked perfectly, the breading wasn't oily, it was light and flakey. The muscles and clams were good too. Everyone's entree tasted great. The special Caio e Pepe table side show was great. The added chicken was a little dry, but overall tasty and the staff remade it. The linguine lobster was good too, until I found a hair in it. The staff was more than accommodating to remake it and apologized. We were celebrating my friend's birthday and received champagne with added juices, cheesecake and cannoli's on the house which was very nice of them. I really appreciated the service and thoughtfulness of the staff for this special occasion. Next time I come to Miami, I'll be stopping here read more
