   We returned to Positano for the first time in many years. What a great meal! Calimari and stuffed pepper to start, a ragu pasta and a sausage pizza for the mains. everything was prepared wonderfully and the food was fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend. We will be back soon!

   Been here several times...found last evening disappointing. New menu, new owners. Their Ragu Neopolitano was outstanding, now it's average. Two big disappointments - screaming kid at the table next to us who was jumping up and down on the furniture. Told the owner she should have spoken to the parents, she maintained it's up to the parents. Other was a washroom sign telling patrons not to flush toilet paper down the toilet. Seriously. Plumbing issue of some sort. Not a good look. Server was outstanding - he and owner serviced the whole room owing to a staffing issue.

   There was not a lot of variety for what I wanted. Unfortunately I did not check the menu ahead of time. I found the choices were too highly priced for what it was.

   Dining out is undoubtedly expensive. Prices for food, wine, and gratuities have increased substantially since the pandemic. The food was tasty, but the portions were skimpy. We liked the fact that bread was put on the table. The olive oil was of good quality, The wine was expensive and a five-ounce glass cost $17-20. Only Italian wines are offered. With tip and tax a glass of wine costs almost $24.00. The veal chop at $49.00 came naked. The sides were not cheap. I refused to order one. I want my sides included. I ordered the seafood pasta. The seafood was sparce. The dish was tasty, but it seemed more like a appetizer size to me. My wife ordered a Two ounce Tito's martini. I was schocked that the price was $22.00 and they called it an upgrade. The food quality is very good, but weak on the prtions. Perhaps that is nuveau. The service is excellent.

   My partner and I came here for dinner and we both loved our food. We ordered Cuppetiello di Mare for our appetizer, then for our main, we got Cappellaci di Baccala and Risotto. We then ordered a dessert to share between us (MilleFogile Dautunno). I have been here before and the menu was different, in a good way as there were plenty of different tasty sounding options that I haven't tried yet Ambience was romantic, service was just as good as last time I was here and noise level was just perfect. I'm looking forward to trying something else now, whenever I swing by. Overall, great place for a date or to swing by with family/friends! :)

    I can’t really speak to the food because the service was so slow I had to leave before the food came (almost two hours after our arrival at the restaurant). The other three people in our party stayed and ate their dinner. I should also add that the menu was completely different from the one posted online, and the new menu does not appeal to me. Overall - severely understaffed and disappointing new menu.

    Dear Roma, We sincerely apologize for the experience you had during your recent visit. Unfortunately, we had a bit of a hiccup yesterday due to being very busy, and that’s completely our fault. We are truly sorry for the delay with your order. As a small business, we are constantly working to improve, and we will make sure this doesn’t happen again. We’d love the chance to welcome you back so we can make it right and provide the experience you deserve. Regarding the menu, the one posted online is our new menu and has been updated on all platforms since the switch. Some items from our previous menu are still available, and the new menu features some similar dishes. We hope to see you soon, and once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
