    Service was so bad, so slow waited over 30minutes to even get a drink. The drinks then came all wrong. Ingredients were missing too. Food took ages, we had to ask for bread, oil, salt. Sad thing is we’ve been coming for years, and bought our friends for the first time. Very disappointed, will not be returning.

    The food was borderline inedible. Meatball appetizer was way too salty, the arancini were mushy and rice way over cooked. Bruschetta was the best item of the appetizers. The osso buco I had did not have much flavor and tasted off, the eggplant parmigiana my date had was flavorless and soggy, neither of us had more than a couple bites of each. The manager did offer to bring us both something else but at that point neither of us wanted to take a chance on other menu items. This is not an authentic Italian restaurant anymore, I had eaten here in 2019 and really enjoyed it then so this was a disappointing experience.

    We spent New Year's Eve at the Positano restaurant. Everything was perfect. The decoration was very beautiful, the food mas wonderful but the main thing was the service given to us by all the Staff. It was a wonderful experience for us. Few times have we been so well attended as we were in this spectacular restaurant. My wife and I are very grateful to the entire team.

    El pan y la burrata están espectacular. Los cocteles con alcohol muy buenos y los meseros increíblemente atentos y serviciales pero su nivel de inglés es cuestionable, así que cuesta comunicarse. Los platos principales honestamente bastante promedio, caro para lo que ofrece. Eso sí, celebré mi cumpleaños y no puedo terminar de explicar el nivel de detalles que tuvieron conmigo. En atención 10 de 10

    Perfect restaurant for a casual dinner date, lighting was not too dark. Bartender makes the best aperol spritz in town, often get served watered down versions of it at other restaurants. We ordered the seafood linguine, carbonara and a pizza. Pasta was cooked perfectly, sauces were thick and flavours were rich. We wanted to try different flavours of pizza but were worried it would be too much food, so our server recommended having 2 flavours on one pizza. Worked out perfectly for us. We also received complimentary lemon sorbet after our meals.

    Food was amazing. Pizza was delicious and the focaccia bread before the food arrives was unreal. As we had a vegan friend and there are only few little options, it was very nice how they accomodate my friend's request making the truffle risotto on a vegan version. Elena, our waitress went above and behiond with her suggestions and her perfect customer service skills.

    The food is good. So is the service and everything. But if you serve tosted bread that makes a lot of crumbles you should clean the table between the dishes and not put the desert menue on drops of meat sorce. We liked the place very much
