Just spent 2 weeks in Positano. Great base for moving around the coast. Caffe Positano - after a few visits, earned worst place to eat (Next2 was the best). They grab you off the road, 'come sit down pretty lady' and then once your hooked.... nothing short of throwing an ashtray at one of them will get their attention. They... More

We went to Caffe Positano because we wanted to hear some authentic live Italian music. It seems as if this is the only place in town that does this. The meals we had were decent. Nothing to brag about. My wife had a pasta and fish dish that wasnt too great and my lasagna was average at best. The atmosphere... More

After climbing all of the steps up to our hotel. We were relieved to find this ristorante right next door. As we waited for the porter to bring up our bags we decided to have a cold drink and some lunch. By far the most delicious thing we had on the menu was the gnocchi. I absolutely loved it. The...

My wife and I arrived in Positano on a Sunday afternoon, and departed early Wednesday morning. We ate at the Caffe Positano three times (once per day). The food is fantastic! We ordered different dishes each time we dined- THEY WERE ALL DELICIOUS!!! In addition to great food- the service is absolutely wonderful. On our last night, they gave my... More

Was recommended this restaurant by our hotel with the offer of 10% off and a free car ride, so we were a bit wary. However, being tired from our trip we went with it, and we were pleasantly surprised. The view over town is awesome, and the food more than matched our expectations - the portions of grilled local fish,... More

We made a reservation early in the afternoon for a specific table. I was told we could not come at 8 pm which was my desired time but he would guarantee the table for 7:30. We showed up at 7/30 to find a large group in that area. Rhey suggested we war on the sidewalk 1 feet from passing buses... More

On our first walk down from our hotel, we saw this place and the view it offered and we were lucky enough to get a table with the complete view of the ocean and the cliff side houses. It was amazing.  As for the food, we ordered a fish limone dish and a fish pesto. Both dishes were very tasty,... More

The best bread I've eaten in Italy. Steak cooked perfectly. Great service. Our second favorite meal in Positano right behind La Tagliate. Highly recommend

I prefer to write reviews about places that I really liked, but that's not the case with Caffe Positano. The restaurant's location is one of the best, with a fantastic view and pretty charming tables. I went there with my girlfriend and another couple, and no one really liked the food. Maybe we weren't lucky, but I have to say:... More
