Reviews With Photos - Posides
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.
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.
Truly memorable experience. The owners were so kind and personable and the food was remarkably delicious.
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!
