Straight up! The fancy restaurants in Positano are nice, but have mediocre food. The sandwiches at…read morethis deli are by far the best thing to you could possibly have here. The deli counter is in the back. My wife and I said, "Make us the sandwiches you would want to eat." Sunsets are beautiful, babies are beautiful, but these sandwiches are works of art! Mine had layers of Italian meats and cheeses piled high with fresh pesto and sun dried tomatoes on fresh baked bread. My wife's was a meat lovers with aioli. OMG!!! It started to pour rain in the middle of us eating our sandwiches. We didn't care. We sat and ate until we were done. Sad we didn't find this place sooner because we could have gone back every day. You want to an experience of real Italian flavors? GO HERE! GET THE SANDWICHES.

Begrudgingly I write this review as the owner of the shop is a complete jerk and I hesitate to…read moresupport business owners like that. However, the more I thought about it ... I owe you, likely feeling trapped in a mind-bogglingly crowded maze of terrible touristy sandwich and coffee shops, the 411 on where to get the best sandwich in Positano. That would be here. Forget the overpriced wines, liquors and crates of giant, football-sized lemons that midwestern tourists buy and then wonder, 'okay ... now what do I do with this?'. Go right to the sandwich counter. You'll find (like much of Italy) it is a chaotic hive of activity. There are tons of people with no clear line and order. Tere is no menu and good luck seeing all the assorted cold cuts and choices in the case as they'll be obscured by the XXL 'Life Is Good' t-shirts and Teva sandals of American and British tourists lined up waiting for their order. Locals get first preference here ... so try not to get bent out of shape when a tanned, local boat mate cuts the order line, spends 20 minutes flirting and chit chatting with the good-looking gals behind the counter and casually saunters out with his sandwich as if there weren't 20 confused, sweaty tourists in line behind him. Your tolerance and patience will soon be rewarded. Again ... there are no menus and when you do get to the case and miraculously one of the workers acknowledges its your turn, something peculiar happens. Like the football scene in A Christmas Story, you suddenly forget what a sandwich is ... and out the window goes all of the Italian ordering instructions you memorized, with the help of a free translator app. I will save you the worry ... They are famous for their prosciutto and fresh mozzarella sandwich. If you are a first timer ... get that. It's a thing of beauty with pink prosciutto layered among slices of the most amazing mozzarella ... it has chopped lettuce (a rarity in Italy) and an oil and balsamic drizzle. You'll tell your friends about it when you return to the land of Subway and Jersey Mike's. They also have many other exotic varieties of meats and prepared foods. While you'd have to practically apply for a second mortgage to afford the beautiful porchetta, mortadella, salamis, etc. at a Wholefoods ... the sandwiches here are around 10 Euro. You'd pay that for a stale croissant at most of the tourist stands and coffee shops with pre-made trays of sandwiches in the windows elsewhere in the crowded shopping Labyrinth next door. We stayed here in Positano for 3 days and each day, this lunch was one of the things we most looked forward to. Each day we were scoffed at and dismissed by the cranky owner, as we paid, despite not acting like typical overly-demanding, entitled and generally clueless tourists. Waiting in the madness and disorder of the ordering area was something we dreaded ... but all that melted away between bites of the freshest and most amazing mozzarella cheese, the freshest, most delocious tomatoes and real balsamic drizzle. Somewhere along the line, a 'famous' Tik Toker asshole influencer is going to feature this in their 'amazing Positano travels' reels ... and the line will be around the block. In the meantime, the grumpy owner's attitude and somewhat hidden sandwich counter next to the wine and liquor section will ensure a 5 - 10 minute wait and the shop's relative anonymity for the time being. If you are reading this review ... we are jealous that you will soon be eating one of these sandwiches. But please ... keep it off your reels if you are a Kardashian.

I came to Campania for wine and family history and a birthday present to myself. My last day in…read moreItaly, my Wine Check was four bottles light. This cannot happen. So I asked a man I met while traveling for some bottles I should bring back. He gave me a few producers as well as a few of his favorite bottles. Vintage and maker. I set out to find a wine shop, not a grocery store. I planned to spend a reasonable amount of money, €30-€50 a bottle. I saw a sign on the main street in quartieri spagnoli that just said "enoteco" I believe. It was brown. It was hot. The streets are steep. I had no cell signal and figured... What the hell. So up I went. And up. And up. And there it was. My Italian is pitiful, limited to basics and things you learn when your grandmother is angry at you. I walked in and the man working the shop greeted me. I asked if he spoke English, he did, very little. I explained I was looking for local wines, the varietals, and that a friend had given suggestions. He pointed out the two specific bottles on my list he had, then I asked him for recommendations on two more. As any good wine monger (my preferred term, don't judge. It makes me smile) should, he asked how much I was looking to spend, and if I liked this or that (or acidic or buttery whites, big structure or more supple reds.). Then he pulled down the bottles and told me I wanted these. I paid him, thanked him, and was on my way, back in the heat with my four bottles procured. Overall, the shop is tight. And packed. And the guy seemed knowledgeable enough. English, for an American with terrible Italian, was quite adequate. I will come here if I'm ever in Napoli again. Only complaint, and it's a small one... He put four 75cl bottles in a single plastic bag. When you are walking, A: that's heavy and a bit unruly. B: the bottles clanked constantly. I'm used to the individual bottles at least having paper to keep them from smashing against each other. I managed, and it was a good experience. Check this place out!

We had already had pasta yesterday and with both of us having Celiac Disease, opted not to stop for dinner as they only offer gluten free pasta. So, today we stopped for lunch and the chef was out and about and visited with us. I think they were surprised that we both had Celiac but it was evident that they were committed to serving us. Our server left briefly and came back with a grocery bag which contained what we believed to be gluten free pasta. We ordered the pasta with pesto and were both very pleased with the pasta and how it was cooked and with the pesto. The chef even returned to our table with the bag to "put us at ease" that it was truly gluten free. I ordered fruit salad at the end of the meal and we both ordered cappuccinos that were very good.

Anyway, we asked about gluten free options and the owner was super nice and told us he had only one type of gluten free pasta. If you eat gluten free you know one is enough. So we started with the insalasta formaggio and the insalata prosciutto cotto. These were not memorable but did improve when we started to cut our order of buffalo mozzarella and add it in. The mozzarella was the highlight of the meal. It was warm and so juicy with just the right amount of flavor. My wife ordered the gluten free penne and pesto which was super oily and my wife said immediately this looks old. She had made fresh pesto so I trust her judgment. She did not finish it and it wasn't because she wasn't hungry. I had the tagliatelle pomodoro e provola which was pretty good. If this review was for the mozzarella and my pasta it would be rated higher. So we sat outside because it was a nice day and realized 15 minutes later what a bad idea it was. The street is super busy and really noisy. We ordered wine and the waitress brought us a brandy glass and a martini glass. I get you are trying to be cute with your drinks but I am drinking wine not a sangria or a concoction of some sort. The owner was super nice though and I felt for him. Again if I had gone and ordered the mozzarella and tagliatelle pomodoro e provola the story would be different but unfortunately the story is what it is.

Even though they're mainly a wine shop, they also make sandwiches and carry a number of local food souvenirs like pasta, limoncello, preserved meats and dried herbs. Their sandwiches have rave reviews so I wish I had tried them though unfortunately time didn't allow. What caught my eye were the bottles of lemon, basil and orange olive oil. Since this region is known for its abundance of lemons and oranges, thinking back I probably should've bought a lemon infused olive oil (which sounds like it'd go amazing with both savory and sweet), though I ended up chickening out and asking for my go-to garlic-infused olive oil. Haven't tried it yet though hoping to return and update my review once I open it! The girl who assisted me was friendly and helpful, there are some varying opinions on store staff on Google which I didn't find to be the case when I visited.
