A word from Positano Coast by Aldo Lamberti

Why settle for an ordinary atmosphere when you can have an extraordinary one? Enjoy the beauty of the Amalfi Coast in Italy right in Old City. From the cobalt blue floor, to the spectacular life-sized postcards to the inspired menu, when you step into Positano Coast, you will need to catch your… breath. We welcome guests to savor a menu full of delicious selections, including the freshest fish & seafood, the must have "Crudo" (the Italian version of sashimi) & creative variations of classic Italian pasta & meat dishes. Dishes include: Ahi Tuna Toscana with Cannellini Beans & Capers; Seafood Risotto with Baby Shrimp, Clams, Mussels & Calamari; an 8oz Colorado Lamb T-Bone, Pepper Crusted Mahi and a Pancetta Wrapped Roasted Veal Tenderloin with Mushroom Confit; and for lunch, a Porchetta Panini with Broccoli Rabe and Sharp Provolone, as well as a Chicken Focaccia Wrap with Chipotle Aioli. Savor the flavors of the Crudo of the Day - like Scallops with Sea Urchin & Yellowfin Tuna Tartare. Continued

"I have visited this restaurant many times. Some with friends, group date night, romantic evening- it fits the bill for all. The food is always amazing and the prices I think are beyond reasonable for the portions you get. I brought my out of town girlfriends this time and they all loved it. I have to say I was a little disappointed with the gorgonzola gnochi. I have gotten before and the sauce this time was watery instead of the normal creamy consistency. But the appetizers were amazing and the antipasto was tasted like it was true from Italy."

"This was my first time dining at Positano Coast and I enjoyed the food very much. It is, however, VERY noisy, a fact that didn't become apparent 'till we were leaving at about 7:45 and the place was filling up. All-in-all, a good experience and I would come back."

"This was my first time at this restaurant. We ate early in the evening, in order to attend a play, so there was little crowd. The restaurant opened the second floor deck for us so we could eat out of doors. (I think we started a trend for the evening!) The service was appropriately attentive and the food was very good. I would be very happy to go back."

"In short, we had a terrific meal at Positano Coast. We really enjoyed the fixed price dinner for two. My wife and I enjoyed everything about the meal and thought it was a very good value. We are looking forward to going back soon - perhaps for our upcoming wedding anniversary."

"We have been to this restaurant a number of times from 2000-2009. Since that time, the food has gone downhill (used to be great). Quantity was very small and quality was nondescript. Service was poor, waiter was rude and inattentive. What a shame to see a great restaurant decline like this!"
