Reviews With Photos - Posides
We traveled to 3 different cities in Italy during our trip and Posides was my favorite restaurant! It is intimate, family owned, and has an open kitchen. The brothers, Antonio and Ilario, banter with each other and with customers so it really feels like you are in their home. You can tell that they are passionate and enjoy sharing their food. There is limited seating and they don't take reservations so you may have a wait. Don't forget to take a photo of the menu before you come in. The menu is small and curated because they have mastered their craft and source fresh local ingredients. All of the dishes we tried were absolutely amazing! I would love to return one day.
This place has all the Positano charm you'd expect. Feels like you're watching a family prepare their meals right in front of you. They have cute seating with an option to sit on the balcony for 1 table, overlooking the island. Also, tomatoes were some of the best we had on the entire trip. Incredible breakfast with lovely mimosas and freshly squeezed juice. Fresh basil, flaky sea salt, and rich pancetta alongside eggs. Can't get much better than that! 5 star service too!
We saw conflicting hours info online, showed up and they said they weren't open until 9:15. The place is cute but tiny, only 5-6 tables. But as a result, service was attentive (although the food quite slow to come out). Small breakfast menu, pricing a tad high...our French toast was tasty, yet 20E for one thick slice with berries & cream. You can, however, tell that presentation and flavors are focused on here more than many other restaurants in town.
We had a few hours in Positano and were looking for a good spot for lunch. We tried to avoid the restaurants that were immediately accessible when dropped off at the dock. The google reviews and ratings were glowing for this place. And all of the photos of the food looked amazing. We didn't realize there was a trek uphill to get there, but it was worth it! We only had to wait a few minutes for a the table to be cleared. It's a small space, but super cozy, which allowed for impeccable service. And the view from the table outside is stunning. Besides the food being outstanding, no really it was the best meal we had in Italy hands down. I'm just upset it wasn't closer to the area where we were staying because I would have eaten there everyday. The dishes were all fresh and the plates were beautifully presented. The biggest standout was interacting and observing the staff. It felt like being in a family kitchen and it made us feel at home. We shared conversation and laughs. It was a highlight of our trip and I would go back just to dine here again.
Like other reviews have mentioned, the restaurant is run like a family kitchen and invites guests into conversations that gives a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Like dining at a friend's house. We had planned to only stay for a quick bruschetta snack but had to try the pappardelle pasta with clams, swordfish, and mussels dish as we saw them being delivered to other tables. It was absolutely delicious and all of the ingredients were so fresh. I hesitated ordering dishes that included buffula mozzarella as I had a bad experience in the states but the chef brought out a fresh ball and encouraged me to try the Italian version and no pressure if I didn't like it. Well...my wife and I ate it all and I was happy that I was given a push to give something another chance. Best meal we've had in Italy!
What a gem! We came here for brunch and I got the Carbonara, which had bountiful egg, pancetta, cheese in a fluffy brioche bun. It was quite hearty and very savory! I also tried bites of the eggs in purgatory, French toast and frittata. All delicious! The eggs in purgatory had great heat to it and the french toast was soo crispy. The vanilla bean ricotta was scrumptious! The ambiance here is lovely and very seaside-esque with blue running throughout the restaurant. Highly recommend for brunch! Edit: We liked this place so much that we came back for dinner. If you like spicy food, you MUST get the spicy seafood stew. It is filled to the brim with various fish (mussels, clams, salmon, etc) and the stew is absolutely scrumptious. I asked for medium spicy and it was just so satisfyingly delicious and spicy. The bread that comes with is hearty and crispy, too!
This place was truly magnificent! Not only was the food some of the, if not THE, best food we've had in Italy so far, but the chef and staff were incredible. We went for breakfast but missed the window slightly, so prefer from the slightly rotating lunch menu. And i'm glad we missed breakfast, because the lemon Cod (Baccala) and ribeye steak tagliata to die for. We are originally from Texas, where we have plenty of world class steak, and chefs to cook it. But this was truly something spectacular. We also had a Cortado (type of coffee/expresso) I special requested which was not on the menu but they accommodated anyway. Then finally a dessert which was a local pastry soaked in sweet rum with crème and fresh berries. Uh, wow?! The place is a far cry from some of the more touristy places you find scattered throughout italy, and even toward the lower areas of Positano. I find the larger the seating areas, the less handmade and handcrafted the meals, and that is usually evident in the quality of the food. This place only seats roughly 6 tables at a time, meaning you get truly handcrafted meals. We were able to engage with the chef during our stay since the food is cooked in the same room as you. There is only one table outside on a patio, so if that's what you are coming here for - plan for a wait. Small, cosy, quant, and incredible food. Worthy every penny [or your local currency]. I wish I could bottle this experience and take it home with me. Chow down, and Ciao!
A must try in Positano. I first tried Posides last summer after a friend highly recommended the restaurant. It did not disappoint then, and it did not disappoint today. The chefs create a warm environment, where everyone feels like a guest in their home. The rotating menu ensures that you're getting the best Positano has to offer that day. I will definitely be returning for a third visit
I don't leave reviews often, but this place is worth it. The food was amazing and the chef walked each plate to us to explain how it was made. True love goes into their food. And the service was the cherry on top as they are very attentive and made great recommendations with what pairs well with what we ordered. This has been my favorite place in Positano to eat
Antonio and his brother have an absolutely lovely restaurant here. We had dinner with them and it was some of the best Italian food we have had. If you are looking for authentic, traditional, family owned, local food, or just a fantastic meal I would highly recommend Posides. If you are lucky enough to be visiting when they do a class I would highly recommend it! The class is small and personal not like some other larger chain companies. Antonio is a very knowledgeable chef and showed us exactly how to recreate his dish at home. The class was very reasonably priced for dinner, unlimited wine, cooking knowledge, wonderful hospitality, and hours of fun! Antonio thank you! We plan on dining with you sometime soon!
The brothers at poside are absolutely hilarious. The climb to get to the restaurant is definitely well worth it. I ordered an iced coffee latte to start followed by the must have French toast, and finished with freshly squeezed filtered orange juice. Everything from start to finish here was amazing. Exceptional food and service you will leave with never forgetting. 10/10 recommend
Posides was one of the most memorable meals of our trip. We had a cozy table for two on the terrace overlooking the most stunning Positano views, the kind that make you pause and soak in every moment. The food was outstanding. 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. read more
Posides is absolutely one of my favorite places to eat in all of Italy. The brothers who run it, along with their staff, are so kind, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The space is small and charming, with an open kitchen where you can watch the magic happen. There's limited seating, but it's well worth the wait. The food is incredible; fresh, creative, and full of heart. The cappuccino was perfect, and the carbonara toast was unforgettable. I still think about it. The French toast was another standout, made with thick custardy brioche, fresh berries, and a crème brûlée topping that was absolute perfection. Everything feels local and seasonal, and the menu changes often, which makes every visit special. An amazing spot with a cozy vibe, beautiful plating, and some of the best food I had anywhere in Italy. read more

A must-visit when in Positano! Somehow, this was the first time I've come across an iced drink (on the rock) while in Italy! And it was so good. €4.5 #espressoontherocks #icedlattemacchiato #yum The Avocado Toast con Pomodoro (€13) was the best avocado toast I've tasted, and the French Toast Mascarpone alla Vaniglia (€13) was just as good! Got another Iced Latte Macchiato to go! read more

Probably the best meal we had in Southern Italy. Everything was freshly made right in front of you. You can literally see the chef cooking your meal. Staff was phenomenal and very friendly. They will let you know the menu if you just ask. Food was excellent. Pasta even better. Great views from the balcony table. read more

We were lucky enough to walk by Posides one day early in our week long trip in Positano. We ended up going back 4 times. The food was excellent, the people were great and the space was quiet and inviting. There's a little table on the balcony if you want a view, but really we went for the food. We tried several different restaurants during our trip but none of them came close to Posides! My wife and I loved the food and the people! read more

Such a gem in Positano! Small family owned restaurant with amazing food. The family took the time to chat with us while they prepared lunch and checked in consistently. The lemon creme brûlée was absolutely amazing! I hope they open for dinner soon! read more

So nice, we ate here twice! This place is quite possibly the most AMAZING place we have ever come across. My husband and I came here on our honeymoon (2 short days in Positano) and ate here both days we were here. The carbonara toast is the best thing either of us have ever eaten... to be honest my husband ordered it and I just couldn't keep my hands off it. I also tried the avocado toast the first day, and it was the second best thing either of us have ever eaten.... The final day we opted to try the French toast as well which was quite fabulous BUT I still would fight someone to the death to be able to take that carbonara toast home with me. They are only open from 9-12 but if you have to wait, this place is worth it. The family that runs it was so kind and funny. I'd come to Positano and deal with all of the stairs again just to eat here! Gratzi Mille, Posides! read more

Posides is a fantastic spot located in Positano on the Amalfi Coast. The staff and owner are super friendly and fun. They have efficient service and explain the food well. The ambiance is great, it's small but they have nice decor and a good view if you sit outside (only one or two tables outside). The food is so delicious, and healthy. They are all homemade dishes. The owner explains he simply cooks how he would cook at home, he never went to culinary school. So if you want some truly authentic Italian food this is the place to try. Everything we had was good but be sure to try the meatballs and the ravioli. Please give Posides a try when you visit Positano, it's amazing and you won't regret it. It's a perfect lunch spot! read more

My favorite little spot in Positano. The staff is hilarious and incredible. The food measures up to the best of them. You can even request a small balcony for 2 for a romantic lunch/dinner. I had the ravioli and my wife had the prosciutto and melon salad. Both out of this world. read more
Absolutely Amazing!! This family small business is a hidden Gem in Small town Positano. Can easily be missed due to how small of a location it is, but when you stumble into it, you will be happy you did. The Service is 2nd to none and they greet you properly and are very attentive. Antonio one of the sons and the main cook did amazing on all of our dishes that we tried the 3 days in a row we attended. Let's not forget about his Texas GF who has a lovable personality who treated us with that Texan Hospitality that can't be miss as she from Houston Texas. Amazing!!! Make sure you all stop here to see for yourself why this is the best place to have lunch in Positano. read more

The best breakfast we had while in Positano! Great food and great service. Be patient, it does take a little bit because there is only one cook and it's a tiny little space but it's so worth it! They do have a single patio table with a great view but overall you come here for the food, not the view! Definitely recommend! We had their espresso on the rocks, French toast and carbonara toast. All were fantastic! They will even whip you up something not on the menu if you can't find anything that jumps out! read more

A tiny, hidden gem! We stopped in here on our last day and I'm so glad we did! You could almost miss it on the hill, but you shouldn't. We had a table in the corner and could look outside. The views here are amazing. The food though was especially good! We had mozzarella, avocado toast and some prosciutto. This place is family run, and he literally sliced the tomatoes and cheese, etc while chatting with us. His mom ran next door and got the basil for our topping. It was delicious- high quality ingredients served well. Oh, and great wine. And all at a good price! They mother and son were so nice, and it was her birthday! We would definitely go back and recommend you stop in! read more
