We had a lovely meal in this restaurant. Food was delicious, the location and atmosphere were really nice and romantic, and the service was excellent. Locals go there too, which is always a good sign.

OK, so you are checking out the big tourist emporia on the Spiaggia Grande, and cannot decide which is a better bet. If you are willing to give up the view for a reasonably priced, friendly restaurant with excellent food the Wine Dark House may be for you -- if you can find it. Via del saracino is a sort... More

We had a late lunch here after doing a long walk in the hills. We were welcomed to our table and enjoyed sitting in the shade under the umbrellas, watching the people walk by. Our lunches of mixed seafood and fettucine, accompanied by a plate of assorted grilled vegetables was superb, followed by a shared dessert that was delicious. The... More

We had lunch and dinner at the Wine-Dark House while staying in Positano for 5 days. The restaurant is very inviting, but has limited indoor seating. There are quite a few tables, however, on the patio outside the restaurant. The food and local wines were excellent as was the service. The owner took the time to explain the various wines... More

This was a place Lucy Zia, our guide for Path of the Gods walk, recommended. We weren't disappointed. We went at night and the 6 of us took up most of the inside. Many tables outside but it was too chilly. The eggplant was excellent and mussels as well. Everything was fresh and reasonable. We came back here for lunch... More

Seeing all the tourist traps along the beach we decided to try this quiet place just one minute walk away. Both the pasta and the fish with potatoes in lemon sauce compete for the best dish we've had in Italy. The quality of the Caprese salad, the wine and the dessert did not fall short either. Service level was of... More

We had lunch here twice. Christine who does the tour of Positano recommended this place and it is worth a visit. One of their specialities is the parmigiana di melanzane and I must say it is scrumptious.

We stumble in here on first evening. Many restaurants/cafes were closed, had no seating or were more than we wanted to spend. This place filled the niche and was full of locals having a glass of wine, coffee or very popular made to order toasted sandwiches. We had a glass of wine and waited for dinner at 7.30pm. The food...

This is a wonderful restaurant with outdoor seating, tucked away at the bottom of the stairs of Santa Maria, near the beach. Excellent food and superb espresso (the owner blends his own). Favorites Eggplant Parmigiana. If you're into a burger & fries, you'll be surprised how well they do it here. Many locals prefer this restaurant, too. Lunch prices are... More
