4.5 (a comprise between 2 of us :) ) This is a wonderfully quiet location closer to fornillo beach. Away of the main area, nice because it's quite and views of beach is lovely. We were wonderfully surprised by the food and atmosphere! We ordered the piazza diavolo and tagliatelle with meatballs.. both sooo tasty And portions were huge! The house wine was delicious and comes in such a nice jug. We ordered the deep fried appetizer after seeing it on another table- it was good- but a lot of deep fried greasy food. All in all., the rest was simply amazing! Atmosphere and decor .. great! Service.. great... food.:: amazing Thank you for such delicious Meals! read more

The best meal of my life. After swimming to satisfaction at Fornillo, couldn't wait until dinner reservation so ran up here for lunch. The intimate view summed up our morning swim and quite possibly our entirely magical stay in Positano. Zero pretense (IMO), completely fresh-from-ocean seafood, grill/cooked wonderfully... it tasted and felt simultaneously exquisitely luxe yet homemade by a loving family. I wish I could come here every day. ~sigh~ next time, Positano. 'Til next time xoxo read more

What a view! Our party of 6 had great meals, great service, and a spectacular view, since they seated us in the last area at the far right of the restaurant (sort of a more private area). The pictures really don't do justice to the view. A real special night for all of us. read more

Lo Guarracino - What a view! We were seated at the last (larger) table, in a separate section on the far right of the restaurant. - Italian Near Me - Positano, SA

Great view by the water and they made special accommodations for our requests to change the pasta or sauce. Would recommend to anyone looking for a romantic, delicious meal by the water. read more

Lo Guarracino - Italian Near Me - Positano, SA

Guarracino had a beautiful environment overlooking the water, fresh fish, and friendly service. Unfortunately for Lo Guarracino, that describes almost every restaurant near Positano. Don't get me wrong, the food was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. That being said, this was average in comparison to some of the other meals I ate in the area. The Zuppa Guarricino has good mussels, clams, and prawns (although the Tuna was overcooked). The Tagliatelle with lobster was good, but nothing to necessarily write home about. This place would be excellent if you want somewhere "off the beaten path" to get a nice glass of wine and a pizza or pasta dish. For a full-scale, two-course meal, there are much better offerings on the coast. read more

Set on an ocean-side path tucked away from the crowds, Lo Guarracino is a dining treasure. This open air restaurant is half Italian restaurant and half tree house, giving a unique charming feel. The staff speaks English well and are very friendly to talk with. Everything we had was delicious except for the dessert: 1) Homemade pasta with mixed seafood in a red sauce- fresh and flavorful, but not too heavy 2) Spaghetti and clams- Wonderful clams and a salty rich broth that was delicious to soak up with some bread at the end of the meal. 3) Grilled pumpkin with olive oil- great appetizer that is light but satisfying 4) Lemon tiramisu- Something was off about it, would not recommend it. read more

I don't know how we lucked out to find some really good restaurants in Positano. We figured most places would be subpar seeing its location and lack of competition but this restaurant was awesome. The view is gorgeous first off. The staff was very friendly. The wood fired pizza and the focaccia was delicious. The pasta was great as well. You can't go wrong here. Our after dinner coffee drinks (coffee lattes and macchiatos) were delectable. read more

Beautiful setting great food and fresh seafood. Grilled calamari was delicious. Simple food but good execution. Price seems okay given the amazing view. A bit away from city center but worth the walk. read more

Got off the ferry and instead of heading into town to the right of the wharf I noticed an old turret and ventured up hill to the left away from the crowds. It turned out that the old wall was someone's home. So I continued down the path to see what else was there and discovered Lo Guarracino hugging the cliff and overlooking the sea. It was a little early for lunch but what the heck we were hungry and walked right in to see the staff finishing their meal. We almost walked away thinking they weren't open when a young lady insisted that we sit down at a table overlooking the sea and little Positano beach. This is heaven. Poured some Prosecco and ordered an Antipasto of meats and cheeses. My wife loved the décor so much she asked about where she could buy the blue table cloth with the fish and shell designs. The pizza oven wasn't fired up yet, but later on as others filled in I saw what came out. Looked delicious..although no gluten free dough was available. read more

Not so easy to find and GPS says you've arrived when you have another 100 yards to walk. But a treasure you will find! Amazing view from the patio. We started with the obligatory Margarita Pizza which was delicious. Then followed with the homemade pastas, one with eggplant and the other lemon. Loved the eggplant with the red sauce. So fresh! My teen enjoyed the lemon. We then had the baked sea breech served with potatoes. I enjoyed it, but was not the same caliber as the prior dishes. Be sure you make a reservation. There was still a wait at 10 pm. read more

Dinner at Lo Guarracino was a fantastic way to end our day in Positano. A little walk past the end of the beach, around the bend, and you will find great views of the sea, gracious service, and great food! We ate Caprese Salad, pasta, seafood, and lemon delight cake for dessert and enjoyed wine with our meal. Everything was very good! The service was excellent, the view spectacular. Really provided a perfect ending to a day in Positano. read more

Recommended by one of the staff at the hotel Savoia. A bit difficult to get to, but well worth it. I wasn't super impressed with my pasta with shrimp ina lemonsauce, but the rest of our group enjoyed their meals. read more

This wasn't the best restaurant we ate at in Positano, but it was pretty solid with nice views along the beach. It's a short walk from the main beach but it still feels a bit more remote than the very crowded main square. read more

Came here based on the rec from our hotel and was very happy with our decision. It's a little hard to find if you're unfamiliar with the walking path between the 2 main beaches on Positano. We ordered: - fried calamari and shrimp: this was very very lightly battered, and seemed more shrimp than calamari. FYI the shrimp was with heads and tail ON, so if you don't like to eat crispy shrimp shells, this dish isn't for you. - lemon fusilli - this dish was unimpressive generally but somewhat interesting bc I'm not used to lemon-focused pasta. Literally it looked like a kid's plate with just pasta, lemon, a little cheese and oil. If I want a simple dish, I would choose carbonara or cacio e Pepe in the future. - pizza with burrata- GET THIS. Or any of their pizzas, unless you're a pizza barbarian who doesn't like soft, mochi-like crust. The sauce and cheese were perfect, but really I just enjoyed the super tender crust that's really hard to find in the states. - fusilli with shrimp, pumpkin and arugula - this was yummy. The shrimp were like giant bay shrimp and pumpkin was incorporated into the sauce (not chunks) - chicken entree- I forget what it's called but it's basically chicken parmigiana. I thought this was under sauced and under salted and would not order again. When I took my first bite, I realized it was prob made to appease Americans. Good try, by didn't quite work. - lemon tiramisu - ehhhh the lady fingers were soaked in lemon alcohol (maybe limoncello?) and covered in whip. Not sure if there was any marscapone in the mix but this was too simple and kind of cheap tasting bc of the lemon flavor. I think fresh lemon curd and zest would have been much better. I def prefer regular tiramisu to this. Overall, stick to pizza, pasta and seafood. Despite the couple fails, the pizza and seafood dishes were winners. read more

* Beautiful views of the Mediterranean * Food was average. I had grilled swordfish and my husband had Spaghetti alla Carconara * Staff unfriendly * Kind of nice that it's off the beaten path of Positano so you either have to be looking for the restaurant or run into it on your walk along the water * Prices moderate * Overall this place is unmemorable and average and if it weren't for the awesome views, I'd probably rate it lower. read more

Excellent fun walk a little past the busy tourists area! Everything we had was Excellent! Mussels, clams, pizza & pasta! Can't beat the view! Definitely worth the short walk! read more

Great view by the water AND the food was amazing! This is a hidden gem. Don't eat at the restaurants by the beach, they are total tourist traps. Eat here and you won't regret it!! read more

This was a great experience. We had lunch here while exploring areas outside the immediate downtown area in Positano. This is up the hillpath about 1/2 mile west from the main beach. it overlooks the water at a lovely, and not-too-traveled spot. Its just delightful. A great place to spend an idyllic 90 minutes for lunch (or dinner) while gazing at the water. The food is good and moderately priced. We had a pizza, a salad and a liter of their Vino Bianco delle Casa, which was a nice crisp local Falanghina (and the liter was offered for just over what it would cost to get only 2 separate glasses) The staff was friendly and not pushy, but sufficiently attentive. This was a find based on an impulse. But, its not hard to find...hiding in plain sight. You just have to get out of the immediate center of town near the Duomo and walk past Covo de saraceni restaurant. I'd definitely go there again if we were in Positano. It sure beats eating in one of the overcrowded and kitschy places right near the main beach, or eating on a cramped sidewalk café along the main drag with cars, vespas and rude pedestrians careening past. read more

Beautiful views... the food was good but the service was ok. Granted they were pretty busy for lunch. We ordered several dishes one after another so we didn't get the table crowded and they clearly forgot the lobster pasta dish because it took 20 minutes plus it came out piping hot and also pasta was undercooked because they were scrambling to get it out. Was still very good because lobster is lobster... once you think you're lost just keep walking read more

Nestled on a cliff overlooking the water away from crowds. Very attentive service (super funny waiter--I wish I could remember his name--and tasty food. The fried calamari was lightly breaded, my seafood pasta was cooked al dente and was loaded with flavor. Topped it off with tiramisu and a limoncello shot--mmm mmm good. Our friends loved their food as well-- the seafood risotto, warm focaccia bread and prosciutto melon plate with fresh mozzarella. The only dish that wasn't a standout was the strips of steak on arugula. We had the "poor Man's Amarone" Zenato 2013 Ripassa--highly recommend. We plan to go back and will dress a little warmer for the cool seaside night-- they didn't have heat warmers but loaned us large lovely scarves for extra warmth. read more

The view was the only positive thing. The food was adequate (at best), but the service was definitely lacking. Our waiter asked us if we wanted water when we first sat, but forgot to bring it until we ordered. Ok, happens, not a big deal. We get our food and it was fine (not great), but the portions were on the small side. Ok, we should have ordered multiple courses. Then, we ordered dessert. Again, was nothing special. But when we wanted our bill, it took 3 requests and 30 minutes for us to finally get it. Our waiter was chugging wine with some Italians 2 tables down, while we sat and waited after already asking for the bill twice. We went to Ristorante Bruno the night before and all I can say is everything about this experience made us wish we'd gone there for a second night in a row. read more

My wife and I spent an afternoon at this restaurant having lunch. I had the fish baked in salt and she had the pasta Guarracino with seafood. We split a salad and had a couple of glasses of white wine. Waiters were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent along with the bread to mop up the sauce. We left nothing on our plates and then sat back and listened to the waves crashing against the shore and the ferries coming into Positano. Easily the best restaurant at which I ate in Positano. We sat and sat - then ordered a dessert of lemon tiramisu with some espresso. Left reluctantly afterwards. We didn't have the pizza - but the oven was legit and the pizza at other tables looked superb. Go eat here. read more

This was the happiest meal I've had in my life. Honestly. It was impossibly beautiful, super tasty, and not very expensive. I also liked that it was off the beaten path a bit so it wasn't crowded, and the people were friendly. read more

Very nice family style restaurant off the beaten path in Positano. The pizza comes in many different and wonderful flavors with a fresh crust and generous amounts of mozzarella. They have home made pasta which was good, not great, and the sauce was simple and well prepared. The serves were also well versed in each dish. Prices were reasonable and we would go back. Good place for the review and away from central Positano which can be quite busy. read more

We really enjoyed our meal at this restaurant! Although the spot was a little bit of a walk, the view was beautiful. Our food and cocktails were both very good as well. Although the power went out a few times, we definitely had a fun night at this resultant and we're able to escape the daytime crowds. read more
