we recently stayed in Positano and ate at the wonderful Il Fornillo. great restaurant and great staff. we ate here three times during our week's stay in Positano and we ordered take out pizza one night too. The pizza chef even let our daughter create her own pizza from scratch. thank you margarita and stefano for many fond memories.

Had dinner here on Tuesday and it was great. I had no problem with the service or the food. I had the vegetarian risotto and it was the best I've ever tasted. I even practiced my Italian and the waitress was very patient and encouraging. Thanks for a great meal and I would definitely go back.

I know everyone seems to love this restaurant, but we had 2 different experiences there. When we first arrived in Positano, we ate lunch there, and we thought the hospitality and food were very good. We returned another evening and had the worst experience with the person in charge. We were a party of four - 2 meals came first,... More

We recently spent time in Positano enjoying all the Amalfi Coast has to offer. It is truly one of the most beautiful places on Earth. On our last evening, we decided to eat locally and walked from our Hotel to Il Fornillo restaurant on Via Pasitea. We passed the restaurant many times driving into Positano, but parking made it difficult... More

Very good restaurant, the owner is a real character and the place has lots of charm. We had great food, fresh and very plentiful. There is nothing we would change really, apart from the music. Having the same 4 songs on a loop was very trying, especially when one was the Italian version of the Laughing Policeman.

And I don't mean the pizza, but the hostess! Adorable Margherita accommodated us very quickly, we were in a rush and with a very tight schedule, and she offered recommendations that left everyone satisfied. The food was delicious (I tried some heavenly 'involtini' filled with potato and mozzarella, wrapped in delicious prosciutto and topped with shavings of parmesan, they just... More

Highly recommend this restaurant! We traveled for 2 weeks thru Italy and feel we had the best pizza here! The portions are generous and delicious! Margarita and her staff make you immediately feel at home and send you off with the best limoncello you'll ever taste! If you like mussels this is the place to have them plus the seafood... More

Highly recommended for seafood. The fish in crazy water was delicious and the serving of the whole fish was an entertainment in itself. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the prices very reasonable. A chilled limoncello, compliments of our hostess, was the perfect culmination to the meal.
