    I really appreciate how they focus on quality over quantity, unlike big chains with endless options, this is what authentic Italian food should be. Genuine, and delicious all the time 🙏🏻

    I really wanted to like Positano as it is so close to my new home in the area. We entered the restaurant on a Sunday and there were only two other tables, so servers weren’t busy and neither was the kitchen. The servers were kind, but we wanted a second glass of wine and no one asked… missed opportunity!! My guest was Vegetarian, and there was so little on the menu as we were expecting more pasta and pizza choices at the very least. Two slices of bread that looked like they came out of a Wonder bread bag were served with our salad. Really hoping to give it another chance at a later date, but our experience was very underwhelming.

    Excellent value for the money. Good ambience and service. Food reminded us of our travel experience in Positano/Amalfi. Server also catered to our toddler's need (i.e. bringing fruits) that was not in their menu.

    Food was ok would appreciate more variety, specifically pasta options, linguine de mare etc. only one seafood pasta dish with calamari. Risotto was OK tasted more like a Spanish style paella than authentic Italian risotto.

    Food was very good prior to the recent renovation. We have been extremely disappointed on our two dining experience there since. The salad was bitter and the chef needs to reconsider how to mix the dressing and select better vegetables. There was way too much fat in the pork belly. The veal was not tender and was overcooked.

    We avoid decision, we decided to order the preset tasting menu for two and were so happy we did. The seafood risotto was excellent as was the red snapper that followed which was cooked to perfection. A wonderful lemon cake finished our dinner. The staff and service was very attentive without rushing. Highly recommend!

    Serious Italian cooking in a small refined space with excellent service. A gem in mid-town Mt. Pleasant. In Italian style guests range from couples, to groups of six or eight, and families with small children.
