Chef Andrea has raised the bar in Positano with this year's offerings at the Ristorante Buca di Bacco. His fish creations are sublime, from tartars to roasted whole fish, he pairs fresh herbs and sauces like no other chef in town. Also delicious are the antipasti and pastas, and dessert is not to be missed. A bit more expensive, but... More

We did not like this restaurant. It was ok, not great and I do not think it's worth the price. One person in our party got the spaghetti with meatballs and they were the blandest meatballs I have tasted. The seafood was fresh but it was not one of the better meals we've had in Italy. It does have a... More

We were greeted at the front desk at check in and the people at the counter could not have been nicer, we had a hundred questions and they took the time to answer them all. We heard about the coking class and my wife and I decided to take it. We booked it when we checked in, and took it... More

The restaurant has multiple levels, the rooftop terrace and the ground floor. Both spots are great, super cute and they both overlook the ocean. We sat on the rooftop terrace so nothing would obstruct our view of the beautiful scene. The service was perfect. Our waiter, Luigi, was extremely friendly and we did not have to wait too long for...

We had dinner in this restaurant, after having made a reservation in the afternoon. When we got there there was one table for four free at the window, so they sat us in the "second row" to the nice view. For my surprise 30 min later a couple arrives and they make out of the table for four one for... More

Dear Guest, we are very sorry to know that you didn't enjoy your dinner at our Restaurant. We could do something for you if you had asked. In any case, the table for four people in front line was booked and for courtesy we waited for them an extra half an hour after the reservation time. Then, a couple came... More

I already rated the Hotel, but a special mention to the restaurant is a must. Chef, staff in the kitchen, waiters, go out of their way to suggest what you can eat. There is Always a dish of the day and great variety, plus, most important the quality of the food is at its best! BRAVO to everyone there!!

The first place we went for lunch on our honeymoon . It is right on the beach and sitting outside the views are amazing. They asked if we wanted non smoking which was good as they smoke outside .We both had pizza for lunch which were both wonderful. I would go again for pizza . Also they were very busy... More

We had dinner in this restaurant overlooking the beach. Whilst the waiters were very nice and attentive, food was below average. The mussels in particular did not taste very fresh. Would avoid.

First of all, since this place has seats on the second floor the view is amazing. The food at many of the hotels along the water is only OK, but I felt this resturant was slightly better than the others. We ate here twice and if I was back I would probably eat here again, for lunch only. There are... More

This was one of our favorite restaurants while visiting Positano for the day on our honeymoon! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent-- a truly great value. The restaurant is part of the beautiful hotel Buca di Bacco overlooking the sea. We give this restaurant our highest recommendation!
