The owner is available at each meal and he and his staff are very welcoming and attentive. The menu and wine list has excellent Italian selections. Sometimes just getting a few appetizers and some wine at the bar and listening to the live jazz music makes for a great evening. I recommend Positano's highly and I am looking forward to going there for a nice Easter meal.

Well, I've been looking for my Italian spot on the west coast, and I could just cry tears of JOY! This place rejuvenated me, gave me a night of pure delight. They started me right with the perfect wine & marinated olives and table bread. I know what I was coming for, mixed seafood with marinara and linguini. The sauce was absolutely perfect. Not sweet and full of onions!!! But garlic-y, basil forward, with plump mussels, super tender calamari, and poppin' shrimp. The service was excellent- the waiter gave me great dessert choices too and will say that the tartufo was absolutely mind blowing. The chocolate ice cream on the inside gave me flashbacks of my childhood. This is the BEST Italian food I've had on Florida's West Coast!

Stefano stopped by to check on us, and we even shared a lovely conversation in Italian about our heritage. Thank you to Stefano and the entire staff. We'll definitely be back!

A little late in posting this review, but definitely wanted to share. I really like the look of…read morethis place when I first walked in to grab a menu as it's kind of like an old school dimly lit restaurant. The prices are actually very reasonable, and I was even a little shocked at that. I ended up getting the seafood, over pasta for $23.99, which is muscles, shrimp, clams and calamari and I went with the white wine sauce. You could also get marinara or fra Diavolo sauce. It was fantastic. She ended up getting the veal Parmesan with angel hair and a side Caesar salad for $20.99 and that was fantastic as well. I think my only issue with my experience is we came in with about 45 minutes before they closed and the minute the restaurant closed. They immediately turned the lights on and started putting the chairs up. We were almost finished with dinner, but it just kind of felt very rushed in the end and I think it was they close at 8 PM. All in all very good experience, but just wish we had a little more time and I understand from working in the restaurant industry... You don't want to hang out all night and annoy the staff but turning the lights on immediately at close was kinda meh

The penne pasta was overdone. The clams in white sauce was very saucy and mushy spaghetti.. The chicken piccata just wasn't as tasty as normally and again the pasta was well overdone I had ordered the eggplant with Angel hair pasta al dente and my al dente was mushy also and I had ordered all my sauces on the side, thank God The sauce they used whether it was marinade or they're just pasta sauce was very bitter and had no taste. . The atmosphere was good very noisy cause it was full of people. We waited a long time there were eight of us and we were in there for over two hours. The service was good. Our server was just so accommodating about everything. The atmosphere was good very noisy cause it was busy not full. But we were in there over 2 hrs. So I also heard there were new owners???

It is a pretty restaurant and the service is pleasant and efficient. Unfortunately the food just…read moreisn't very good. For starters we had the stuffed zucchini blossom appetizer and the bruschetta from the menu. The zucchini blossom was literally fried to a crisp and had no filling to speak of. It was so obviously a problem yet they brought it out anyway. I was a guest for this dinner and not paying so I did not say anything to be polite to the host who picked this restaurant. The bruschetta was so incredibly pedestrian a toddler could have made it. It included Lindsey type canned olives with the chopped tomatoes and no good olive oil or even fresh garlic detected. Main dishes were not much better. I had the seafood risotto and it was literally rice with a creamy tomato vodka sauce poured over it and baked with a very meager portion of mussels, clams, shrimp, and a single bite size piece of salmon thrown in. This was $33. Their prices are upscale but their food is food court quality. I wish I was exaggerating because it is a cute inside and they were very nice, but I go out for good food above all. Don't go here if that matters to you. Perhaps the owner can invest some effort in the kitchen to fix it. Front of the house was good.

I ordered the personal pizza with pesto (can't have tomato products including sauce) with spinach. It was delicious. I'm bringing half home.

This place has excellent background music, employees who care (manager came by asking our opinion about our food, and so did the chef!), and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. It is a delightful place in which to dine. As we left we were offered a gelato sample. We had to decline. Too full even for that.
