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.

Basically like a mini fried calzone and they were unreal. Definitely a must order. The gnocchi was incredible. So light it literally melted in your mouth, and the sauce alone was so good you could eat it by itself. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the food here. Everything we tried was amazing. Service was just as great. The hostess and our waiter were so kind, engaging, and gave excellent recommendations, including wine pairings. The restaurant itself has a cozy, authentic feel, like you're sitting in someone's Italian kitchen. If you can, try to sit outside. The views of the cliffs of Positano are absolutely stunning. Definitely make a reservation in advance. It's a popular spot and can be hard to get a table otherwise.

Definitely make reservations though as the line to get in can be very long!

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.

Started with the di mare appetizer with octopus, calamari, and shrimp. It was incredibly fresh and delicious. Then split the ravioli caprese and spicy salami pizza... both insanely good. Finished the meal with the torta caprese which is a flourless chocolate cake. This place is a 11/10 and secluded just off the main part of town with no tourists. If you come to Positano, you MUST come here. *** Apple Maps will take you to the wrong location. Plug in Fernilo beach instead and you will pass this restaurant on your right.

The food itself was phenomenal! We were served a complimentary pumpkin starter. We then had a caprese salad (insalata di caprese) which was phenomenal.

The Delizia al limone was our dessert and it was the best one we had the whole trip. Highly recommend trying it. It's not too sweet or sour. The sponge cake is amazing. They also have an insane wine list with many local wines to choose from. We ordered a bottle and it was 150 euros but so delicious. Paired well with the food. The service was amazing.

I don't think you can get up there by walking - it would be too steep and take too long - likely doesn't even have a pedestrian route.

Then there were the roaming musicians, who have been at La Sponda for 33 years performing!! They transformed dinner into something straight out of a movie.
