Ordered the ‘Prime Rib Eye Steak’ which was an extra 25 dollars on top of their 100 per person Christmas menu. By far the worst steak I personally ever had. Save your money or simply go somewhere else. I won’t be returning here.

We had a fantastic time here catching up with friends. You can never go wrong eating here. The food, drinks & service were great. Val always takes care of us & was able to move us quickly to a quieter spot versus the lively main dining room.

It took a little while to get seated even though we had a reservation for 8PM, a couple with a reservation for 8:15 was seated before us. The food was phenomenal, however.

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
