    This restaurant was right below our bed and breakfast and we did receive a small discount when we ate here. Overall quite delicious and they said they had the "best pizza" and would have to agree with that statement, is likely best in Positano. Service was always friendly to us. We came back twice during our most recent trip. The seafood pasta and the chicken with potatoes are all fine options. It is a bit on the pricier side and there is a cover fee for the service added to your tab.

    Amazing service from this 65 year old Italian favorite restaurant close to water views. We found this from our driver who took us to Postano today and the owner Marulou could not have been more welcoming. The margarita pizza had a wonderful crisp crust with perfectly soft center .With delicious easy to pull apart mozzerella and house made sauce.We were in pizza heaven. The pizza is coal fired so be prepared that the edges might be slightly charred . A bottle of lambrusco for $20 and capped since did not finish. Would return for the exquisite casual atmosphere and be prepared to be impressed ! Not so hidden gem and worth a visit!

    The pizza was great 8/10 my boo ordered the lasagna i It was mid to us definition of mid in case people don't know lol (mediocre, average, or unimpressive) service was good but it was close to there break time so i understood. They check in periodically, I definitely appreciate that. The look of the place was decent looked like an updated Italian spot no complaints, clean also. But the walk from where was at to get here TREACHEROUS, there's these steps yall gooooooood luck

    This place is so cute for a stop while staying in Positano. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the time it took for us to eat the entire meal from being seated to paying. Seemed slow moving but we enjoyed it. I loved my pasta, shrimp ravioli with pea puree. The veggies we ordered and salad were nice too! Highly recommend but be prepared for it to take awhile. Staff were all very sweet!

    Prosciutto and mozzarella appetizer - good!
    Kiki H.

    Service was very good. People were friendly and drinks and courses were paced well. The prosciutto mozzarella appetizer was delicious! We also split two pizzas, the mortadella special (not my cup of tea) and the Margherita (a little soupy/more neopolitan style but our favorite of the two). My aperol spritz was also prepared great! Prices were quite reasonable.

    Fast, friendly service. They take reservations but despite that we still managed to snag a table without one early for dinner. The pizza came fast, hot and fresh. The panna cottage was smooth and sweet, and the tiramisu was also smooth and creamy. The space is very tight but intimate and the ceramic and light fixtures are beautiful!

    Went to Saraceno d'Oro last night and have to say it was such a great experience! From the start, we arrived a little early so our table wasn't quite ready. We were politely asked if we wouldn't mind waiting on the windy road in front until the table was ready...of course it wasn't a problem but they brought over a complimentary glass of perseco for me and my family! Once we were seated, immediately connected with Teresa our waitress...she was fantastic! Didn't hurt that she had ties back to where we live on Long Island...food and service here are top of the line in Positano!!!

    So good we came back twice! We did the long walk in Positano from the ferry all the way up the hill for this restaurant and it did not disappoint. Just take looks at the photos taken on both days. I'm an Italian food snob and this place impressed me. The staff was very friendly. Ambiance was lively. One side of the restaurant is across a small road with lots of cars and people watching.

    Margarita pizza

    Such an amazing place we stumbled upon!!! We were so happy to stop here. We were hungry and didn't have any dinner resos, so decided to walk around the town to find a place for pizza. At first the plan was to take it easy and get takeaway pizza but this place caught our eye right before we could turn back. Their prices were reasonable so we decided to give it a chance! I ordered the margarita and my husband got the lasagna. We got some grilled vegetables to start off. Grilled veggies were oily, but good. Not what we're used to but good to have as a side. My pizza came out soon after and man, it was the one of the best pizzas I've had. Crust was thin, crispy, yet soft and melt in your mouth in the center! My husband's lasagna was scorching hot and also amazingly delicious. I used my crust to dip into the sauce at the end. This is a wonderful place to eat in Positano, and I would very much recommend this place!

    A solid spot for dinner that is more affordable than other restaurants in the area. We tried various dishes here - grilled mixed vegetables, fried antipasto that included fried noodles and zucchini, lasagna, fusili bolognese, pizza, seafood risotto and clams linguine. All pretty good! The risotto was slightly gummy, but had bountiful seafood. The lasagna and fusili were hearty. Service was very personable and welcoming!

    Divola pizza
    Nazanin G.

    This place is definitely worth a visit if you're in Positano. We actually went here twice in 2 days because it was just that good. We got the divola pizza the first visit along with their house wine which were both delicious! On the second visit we tried the lasagna and seafood pasta and both were fantastic! I also tried the pineapple cocktail which was splendid. The service and decor were also wonderful. Don't miss this spot!

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!

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.
