Cafe Sorrento was a highlight of my trip to Sorrento! From the beautiful aesthetics, garden, and…read morelemon trees hanging above, with lush vegetation and fountain to the plethora of menu options.. we were not disappointed! We had limited time and couldn't make a reservation but to our delight, we got there just as they were opening and were seated without an issue. About an hour later, it did start to pick up. The service was a bit slow but it seemed to be two servers that were very busy with the crowd continuing to arrive so it was understandable. I don't feel this was so much authentic Italian dishes but it definitely was just what I was looking for. I opted for the fettuccine with shrimp that was not too heavy with a hint of lemon-just perfect. Of course, we also had lemon spritz as well. Overall, I would highly recommend!

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of sorrento, in the midst of a hidden garden of citrus trees…read more What a hidden gem this was. The setting and ambiance will be the draw for this location. The beautiful citrus trees and plants really keep it cooler on a warm day, it's like a sanctuary from the heat. We ordered the seafood appetizer, which was great! But the octopus was a little rubbery on some pieces. The char was nice. We also ordered cured meats and cheeses to snack on, and it was wonderful! I only wish we had more prosciutto. The day and time we walked in was slow, so our service was good. Overall, I'd say it's a good stop for a snack or something small, but the ambiance is the main draw.

Chez Black in Positano absolutely lived up to the hype, and then some! From the moment we sat down,…read moreeverything was exceptional. The drinks were perfection...the Hugo Spritz and Aperol Spritz were some of the best we've had on the Amalfi Coast! The appetizers started the night off strong, the tuna tartare was incredibly fresh, and the prosciutto and melon combination was simple yet unforgettable. We loved it SO much, we ordered a second helping, before our main dishes! Every dish that followed somehow topped the last. The chicken parmesan was hands-down my favorite dish of the night, perfectly cooked, flavorful, comforting, and elevated all at once. The lobster linguine was delicious and decadent (yes, it absolutely requires the bib ), while the linguine pesto was next-level good. If you're looking for something lighter, the chicken Caesar salad was also incredible and far from an afterthought. And then came the tiramisu... the true star of the show. Easily one of the best desserts we've had in Italy. Amazing food, incredible drinks, beautiful Positano atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience from start to finish. Chez Black is an absolute must when visiting Positano! If you are lucky enough Chez Black himself can be spotted dining at his restaurant. He sits at a private table right by the hostess stand, it's truly so wholesome, and provides. an overall sense of a true family atmosphere at this special restaurant. I even bought a turquoise blue sweatshirt as a memento of our special evening!!

I wanted to give this a 5 star because the food was that good…read more The minus 2 stars was getting ripped off with a few entree sizes where my friend clearly asked for small steak and got a 350 steak, overpriced wine- as they chose expensive and making it sound like they were not including the tip but after you see the bill - they charge you a tip.

The highlight was definitely the local red snapper baked in the oven. Super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and they filet it right in front of you. Staff was attentive and friendly too.

The pasta itself was fine -- cheesy and tasty enough. Menu's a bit limited, but overall it was a decent experience. Good fish, nice staff, but a few hiccups.

The Caprese salad was fresh and bursting with flavor, and the prosciutto salad was beautifully balanced with just the right mix of savory and sweet. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The drinks were equally impressive. The house Posides Spritz was refreshing and perfectly balanced made with a cherry liquor, and the limoncello spritz was smooth, bright, and easily one of the best we've had in Italy. We finished with an affogato that was the perfect finale, rich espresso poured over creamy gelato for a sweet, satisfying finish along with the seasonal cake. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening, making the experience feel personal and relaxed. The restaurant is a bit of a walk from the city center with a few stairs to climb, but it's absolutely worth it. The stroll back down afterward is the perfect way to walk off the meal. Between the amazing food, stunning terrace views, and kind service, Posides is a true Positano gem.

The space is small and charming, with an open kitchen where you can watch the magic happen. There's limited seating, but it's well worth the wait. The food is incredible; fresh, creative, and full of heart. The cappuccino was perfect, and the carbonara toast was unforgettable. I still think about it. The French toast was another standout, made with thick custardy brioche, fresh berries, and a crème brûlée topping that was absolute perfection. Everything feels local and seasonal, and the menu changes often, which makes every visit special. An amazing spot with a cozy vibe, beautiful plating, and some of the best food I had anywhere in Italy.

***2.5 stars*** This…read morerestaurant is the definition of mediocre. When we came in there were a few people there. I'm not sure where the reviews came from that said it was only locals. There was one Italian couple, otherwise it was all tourists. It was almost criminal for the Caprese salad they served. There are the most beautiful tomatoes here in the world. They accompany every meal. But yet at this restaurant they were pale and tasteless. Pizza was unmemorable. It is fresh. That's about it. The raviolis were good. Really good. Unfortunately the rest of the meal didn't come close. In the waiters defense, he did take the gnocchi I had ordered and replaced it with ravioli without asking. LOL.
