    Beef filet with mashed potatoes. Not good, tastes like fish?
    Carolyn M.

    This place is extremely overrated!!! I'm starting to realize that Yelpers overrate restaurants in geographies they're excited to be at. If you're in Italy for the first time, maybe you can eat dirt and think it tastes amazing because you're in a new place. When not in the US, just use Trip Advisor! Trust me! We came here for two reasons: 4.5 stars on Yelp They have STEAK We ordered the beef fillet and hamburger and fries. I know, I know.. who orders a burger and fries in Italy? Well we've been here for a week and are literally so sick of eating pasta and pizza. I wanted FRIES and I wanted them now! Also, after reading these "rave" reviews on the steaks, we had to order that too. The steak was small and tasted "fishy". I wonder if they had been storing the steaks in the same fridge as all the seafood. It was gross actually. The burger was okay, and interestingly had buns made out of pizza dough. Our server was very nice and attentive, which we appreciate, so a star for him. It also wasn't packed or touristy (probably because there isn't a view), so another star for that. The lady who worked here was extremely rude. She was rearranging two tables to accommodate a larger group and pulled a chair out and hit my chair with it very roughly while I was eating. She didn't even apologize. We ordered a pizza to go for late night snacking. I'm snacking on it now as I write this review! Pizza is not bad, just mediocre.

    Uh, yes please

    Being in Italy and craving pizza is like being adrift in the ocean and craving salt water. Yeah, it's all around you. We decided to give this place a try one night and were glad we did. Interesting location down many steps from street level (isn't everything in Positano?) the space is far bigger than expected with both a large outdoor patio and huge indoor space. Service was prompt and attentive. We weren't sure how big the pizzas would be so we opted to get two. You can never go wrong having leftover pizza. And we did. Almost a whole pizza! The pizza was excellent with generous toppings and a delightful sauce. Crust wasn't real thin and was able to hold up under the toppings. All in all a good find. I'd recommend!

    Best pizza we had in Positano without question. My husband made it his mission to eat at pizza for a least one meal a day during our time in Italy. We were there for 6 days. This was hands down the best pizza we ate. The crust was perfect. The ingredients were simple, flavor full and fresh. Good options on pizza type. Great appetizers. Wine list was also extensive and the wait staff was very friendly! I'd go back again and again!

    If i can give this restaurant a 100 star, i will! As a tourist, we were done with the pizza and pasta. The first night, we ordered the catch of the day, mixed grilled seafood and lamb. They were so delicious! The second day, we tried the florentine steak and it was too die for. Can't even get enough with their lemon cake dessert! The people running this place were just so hospitable and treated us like their local customers!

    I had the best lunch here! Fresh, flavorful and so delicious. Prosciutto, cantaloupe, buffalo mozzarella, mozzarella and ricotta. Salad. Yummy pizza!

    We asked two women working in a shop what their favorite restaurant was in town and they replied "Valle dei Mulini" immediately in unison. We had a custom-made pasta sampler with gnocchi Sorrentina, rigatoni Positano, and ravioli filled with ricotta and mozzarella. We also had chicken Cacciatore. Then two desserts. We ate so much that my grandmother got sick to her stomach. I wouldn't recommend the house red wine though, it was a little too harsh.

    This was our first meal in town and it did not disappoint. The pasta had a great texture.

    Overall Good but not great. The Eggplant parmigiana was the highlight. Salad had avocado that was inedible.  Service was very attentive.

    Eggplant Parmigiana was the highlight. Avocado on the salad was inedible. Service was attentive but not pushy. Solid pizza choices.

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.

We went in October and it didn't seem too busy at most places. We got a lovely seat with a view on their patio. The service and food was great! The restaurant itself was quiet and had a vintage hidden away feel to it. We ordered: Prosciutto and mozzarella 8/10 Seafood pasta: noodles were over cooked and soggy but flavor was great. I'll give it a 7/10 Seafood assortment: Some of the fishes were great others were too oceany like it wasn't prepared properly. 7/10 Affogato 9/10 Spritz 8/10 not bitter and prepared well Overall the food was good, some things were just hit or miss.

The restaurant has one of the best views in Positano from the east side which is usually not appreciated as much as the west side. The whole terrace area and tableware is a pastel lover's paradise. We ordered Mezzi paccheri pasta with shrimps, lemon and basil, and Tiramisu. I absolutely loved each and every dish and especially the lemon pasta - so refreshing! The tiramisu was more like a pastry but still good.
