The best restaurants Positano

Located on the first floor of the hotel of the same name, this restaurant enjoys a beautiful location right in front of the main beach of Positano. You can enjoy the view from the large shaded terrace while savouring classic, quality cuisine with a focus on seafood. The staff is warm and attentive, which is worth noting in a place where the tourist influx can sometimes be accompanied by a certain coldness. Their recommendations are excellent. Very good home-made desserts.

Very beautiful hotel located on the seafront in the heart of Positano. Seafood specialties such as linguine alle vongole (clams).

The history of this osteria is worthy of a fairy tale for restaurateur. At the beginning, there are three sisters, Giovanna, Adelina and Nannina, who have the idea to create a little inn by the sea. At the time, Positano was only a small fishing village and the dishes were designed to sailors. Then the explosion of tourism, it became a gold mine. Today it is the young Luigi, the grandson of Giovanna, local star, which holds the cash desk, to the shelter behind its sunglasses. Of course, it is a beach, but remember his grandmother who was the guest to leave satisfied. The pizzas are generally quite decent and generous. The same applies to the rest of the dishes with a wide selection of wines from Campania.

A family-run address, to be discovered for the quality of the dishes served: fish, shellfish, fresh pasta, pizzas... A traditional cuisine well presented in the right abundance and accompanied by a rich wine list of the land and other regions. Ask Daniele and his staff about the specialities of the day. The pleasant terrace, set up on the side of the small road that criss-crosses Positano, is very pleasant and allows you to enjoy the liveliness and the folklore of the town. A good value for money.

This is the gastronomic restaurant of the very chic San Pietro Hotel. Don't hesitate to arrive early in the evening to enjoy a cocktail on the terrace facing the sunset. The moment is unique, to see the star disappear and die on one side, and Positano pass in the half-light on the other. You then order one of the delicious dishes on the menu, for example the starter with four varieties of tomatoes from the hotel's garden. The basic food is Mediterranean with a strong Neapolitan accent. High quality service and a good choice of wines.

Up in the mountains above Positano, this small restaurant with a rustic decor welcomes you, run by an old farming family. Here, for those who are tired of fish, the specialty is meat dishes. The brochettes accompanied by vegetables are copious and delicious. It must be said that all the products come directly from the fields or from the nearby farms. The view from the terrace is splendid, and the atmosphere much more authentic than in the center of Positano. The price-quality ratio is quite good for the place.

Before it was a little bistro where the painters and artists of the city came to discuss. The room purchased and renovated by Bendji is now home to a restaurant. The stunning view over the city from the terrace is a trap on its own. Inside, the decoration is simple and modern, and light lighting highlights the clear yellow of walls. On the floor on the small balconies, three «honeymoon» tables offer the same view as the terrace. Typical food in the region is good. It is best to reserve its table in season, especially for tables on the floor balconies. Good choice of wines from the region and all Italy. Finally, during the day, the place is still a bistro, as in its early hours.

One of the most popular addresses of the moment, located on a strategic square in the city. A highly sought-after setting for this restaurant, art gallery and wine cellar, where paintings blend happily with wine displays. Lacquered wood furniture, antique mirrors, Persian rugs and white vaults form the elegant decor of the inner room, while the canteen offers a more intimate atmosphere amidst the bottles of wine. When the weather is fine, the green garden invites you to relax. On the kitchen side, tasty Campanian recipes and high quality products.

Founded in 1958 by the current owner's grandfather, who was also named Vincenzo, this renowned restaurant offers traditional cuisine with a focus on pasta and seafood. We enjoyed the antipasti, the mussels and the maccheroni alla genovese which, as the name suggests, is a Neapolitan pasta dish with a sauce of meat and onions that simmers for hours. Cosy rooms and a pleasant little terrace overlooking the street. Nice wine list.

In the Montemare hotel, superb panoramic setting on the terrace or in the room. Refined and pleasant atmosphere. Good including great fish and seafood specialities. It is better to reserve for the tables on the terrace.
