Tore Trupiano★★★★★What an incredible experience at Trattoria Positano! This family-run business truly makes you feel welcomed from the moment you arrive. Laura’s passion and pride for every dish served really shines through in both the presentation and flavor. We attended a private event and were blown away by the freshness and quality of the ingredients in every meal. Everything tasted authentic, homemade, and prepared with care. On top of the amazing food, the views were absolutely beautiful and made the day even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for outstanding Italian cuisine, warm hospita
Lavon Dwyer Jr★★★★★My wife and I had heard great things about Trattoria Positano as a local spot for Italian food, and it absolutely lived up to the reputation. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. The staff was attentive and welcoming, offering helpful menu recommendations that made choosing our meal easy. Everything we ordered was excellent. During the meal, the chef even came out to check on us, which added a personal touch and showed how much they care about the guest experience. We also enjoyed dessert, which was light and fantastic—the perfect way to end the evening. Ov
Philip Emmanuele★Service was decent and atmosphere was nice. The food was just plain bad. Don’t trust the good reviews. We started out being served obviously from-frozen bread rolls and it only went downhill from there. Crab cakes were also obviously from frozen and the fish and steak was flavorless. The vegetables were the saving grace of each dish as they were the only thing on the plate that had flavor. Expensive too. Don’t waste your money.
J Elliot Singer★★★★★Really enjoyable, old school Italian place with a great, low-key atmosphere. Fresh tasting food without too much fanfare, which is a nice change of pace. Pasta was perfectly chewy, fish properly cooked and the sauces were just right. Highly recommended.
