Reservations are highly recommended, especially if more than 2 people.
4. Buca di Bacco, Via Rampa Teglia 4
A movie location, the prices of the dishes are a bit stellar but the quality of the dishes deserves a taste. We recommend the fusilli with zucchini and absolutely have the coffee after the meal: among the best in the place!
5. At the Palace, Via Dei Mulini 23
A little paradise hidden in a beautiful garden, in the middle of Positano. To try, also because it is recommended by the Michelin guide, which gives the following rating: “Delicious dishes - both sea and land - to be savored outdoors in an enchanting botanical garden in the courtyard of the palace. Inside, small and elegant rooms for romantic dinners. " It is recommended to order tuna tartare, tuna rib with pistachio and the dessert: a sphere of dark chocolate with orange!
Positano is truly a place to visit and experience: its flavors, of land and sea, float in the air and attract onlookers from all over the world. If you are in Capri, a stop in this jewel of the Amalfi coast is a must, even if only to get lost in the uphill and downhill streets of the place, among its characteristic shops, perhaps returning home with a pair of handmade sandals or the belly is satisfied for having tasted excellent spaghetti with local tomatoes, called “dates”.
The simplicity and tradition of Positano will make you want to return to these lands again and again.
