My family and I have been here numerous times and the food is always amazing. Filet mignon always good and the Chilean sea bass is the best!

You sent me an email to make a review - do you want me to really leave an honest review? Have not been to Positano in a while and went w a friend who invited us w a gift card . The food portions were tiny but the prices were not . It was very pricey for 4 of us who hardly drank . The food got me and my GF sick . It was just not a good night and sorry for being honest but we will not be back . The place is beautiful and my only other item to share is there were " so many" people working and every 60-120 seconds they kept coming by to check our plates and drinks lke being babysat - its rude , Good luck Positano - not for us . Sorry
