Came here for a birthday dinner with my family who live in the area. Plenty of parking since its in a strip mall. We went around 4:00 and had reserved a table and it was not super busy so we were able to enjoy the quiet in the restaurant. Our server was nice and fairly attentive. Started out with the garlic bread - for me it was too dry which was disappointing. Shared the mozzarella sticks with the hubby - they were ok. I ordered the flounder filet and it was a large piece of fish cooked well and was nice and flaky and it came with a vegetable medley. Hubby had the penne pasta with vodka sauce and breaded chicken and he enjoyed it. Both were large portions and we had to take the rest home as did many of my family. All in all everyone enjoyed it and we will definitely be back again. read more

Always love the food and service here at Positano! Consistent and delicious! The pastas and pizzas are always fresh and they will even make my Chicken Milanese with Arugula on top. It's my favorite dish. read more

This used to be one of our favorite Italian spots to stop at when in the area. But it's gone downhill since before the pandemic. I stopped by here a few months ago with some of my family. When eating our food, I looked over and noticed the man working to make pizzas was picking food out of his teeth, then proceeded to knead the dough with his hands and make the rest of the pizza. That is extremely unsanitary always, but especially during a pandemic. The area where they make the pizza is by the register so out in the open so anyone dining can see what's going on. I got the brothers penne alla chicken which is penne vodka with chicken cutlet and fresh mozzarella. I used to really enjoy their vodka sauce but it was very bland this time around. I gave 3 stars because I do love their garlic knots that comes with the food. The quality of those have not changed. I would be willing to give them another chance but this specific time dining wasn't the best experience. read more

Sicilian pie is a 8.2 - I couldn't stop eating it - so good - haven't tried the regular pie yet

HOCKEY - This restaurant is incredible, and I can't recommend it enough. Our Dallas team had three games in New Jersey over the weekend, and we had food catered from here for two days straight. The boys loved it! There was more than enough food, with great options like pasta and chicken, perfect for pre-game meals. One day, we had an emergency when another restaurant didn't provide enough food, and Positano's came to the rescue, delivering within 20 minutes! Lifesavers. We'll definitely use them whenever we're in New Jersey and recommend them to all hockey teams traveling through the area. read more

Visiting from out of town but I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I'm used to good Italian. The eggplant parm was the best I ever ate. Not stiff not breaded not too oily. The trifecta. Vodka penne was very good. My boys ate chicken parm. They gobbled it right up and my husband had pizza and garlic knots. He loved the garlic knots and said pizza was very good. We did take out and ate at our hotel. Would have definitely been better if we sat down and ate it straight out of oven. Owner was super nice. We were told 20-25 mins to pick up but went there way too early bc the boys were very hungry. Didn't have to wait too long and had a good time hanging out chatting while we waited. I would definitely go back! I want to try some more food. read more

I'm an elderly woman who wanted to treat herself to an Italian dinner. I was really looking forward to the meal. As I entered the restaurant, a large party occupying the whole first level was leaving. The owner said I'd be seated after the remaining guests left and they cleaned up. This was okay with me. I stood in line for a bit and decided to leave because it was freezing in there, even though I had a jacket on I was very cold. The owner asked why I was leaving and I told him. He promised to turn the ac up, so I got back in line. After waiting about 10 minutes, I decided to leave because the place was still cold and very noisy. The owner again asked if I was leaving and I said "yes." He commenced to call me "nasty" and to "never come back." I tried to explain, but he was on a rant and told me to "get out." He continued with his tirade as I walked to the door repeating that I'm "nasty" and to "never come back." He shouted so loudly that everyone in the long line heard him. In my 71 years on earth I've never before been publicly humiliated! I wouldn't think someone who is in the business of serving the public would be so rude and nasty without cause. I you don't mind being publicly humiliated by an unhinged owner, this is the restaurant for you. read more

Love the service, food selection, and price.. Family friendly and BYOB or buy by the bottle.. Food is delish.. chicken a little dry, dish slightly over cooked read more

Placed a catering order recently. Food, as usual, was delicious. There were a few issues. They forgot bread and setup...had to go back. One of the trays leaked in my car. I asked for some extra sauce and was charged $6. I was very surprised to get charged after spending $300. Guess if I order again, I will have to check everything. As I said...food was delicious. read more

My family & I went here for mother's day. Expected to wait but not wait almost 30 min to have our waiter to come to our table and take our drink order. Apparently if you know the owners it takes about 20 min to order drinks & receive them. The owner didn't even make an effort to at least take our drink order.It took another 20-30 min for our waiter to take our food order. Food was not all that great and seeing everyone else enjoying themselves was annoying to me since we were having such a bad experience. Would not recommend this restaurant nor will my family ever step foot in their door again. I would give this restaurant NO stars!!! read more

My go to for pizza or Italian! iBest house dressing also! Will be back again and again!

It wasn't what I expected from the reviews. I ordered oysters and they were filled with sand so not cleaned very well before getting to me

Ordered a heart shaped pizza for Valentines day and I don't think they could have made it any smaller if they tried.. Talk about taking advantage of a holiday. The box was huge when we picked it up and then we opened it up when we got home...what a rip off. It's a shame but they'll never get my money again. Foolish on the part of the owner to do this as we will tell this story to all of our friends. Bye bye Positano!!! By the way...the pie is tasteless!!! What a horrible experience!!! read more

I can't say enough about this restaurant. People are friendly and accommodating. The food is outstanding I would never have anything catered to at any other place. read more

I had dinner last month with the Wayne PAL and had the best fried calamari ever but when I made a takeout order for today 1/29 I was very disappoint in my food. I asked to make it extra crispy but it rubbery and soft coating, nothing like what I had in the store. So was looking forward to eating them. When I was eating in the place it was the best calamari I have eaten. My pasta was great along with the mozzarella bread. read more

Amazing food! The owners are the nicest and make it a point to interact with costumers to make them feel welcomed. It was a great experience! Definitely going back ASAP! Especially for the garlic knots. read more

This is a good lunch spot in the Wayne area. They have nice soups, salads, and sandwiches for a reasonable price. Their catering is also great; my office frequently orders for large group lunches and everyone is always satisfied. The last time I had lunch here however, the service was SO SLOW. Our lunch took almost 90 minutes for a few slices of pizza, bowls of soup, and two salads...nothing exotic. Delivery or take out is the better way to go. read more

Absolutely delicious!! First time here today, and will definitely be coming back for more!

the food here is OK. The service is OK. The prices are OK. they seem to use the same ingredients and have the same recipes as other mediocre Italian restaurants. If your hungry and you got no place else to go, they're fine. read more

Trash. Bad attitudes. Arrogant. Rude. No customer service skills at all. No apologies. No gratitude for business. Just laughing in our faces after not doing their job as if we owe them something. I paid you for a service. You didn't do your job. You should not have a business anymore. I will gladly go to one of the other hundred pizza joints within walking distance. I hope that everyone else does too. Or maybe you guys start caring about your customers. read more

Good chicken parm. Pieces were on the small side. I had to wait longer BC of a mess up. Very busy Saturday night. Service was slow. Nice menu variety. Coffee was just okay. Dessert menu was limited. Great for families. read more

This is my new favorite pizza in Wayne! Their pasta and salads are also great and they deliver very quickly and are friendly. 10/10

Simply the richest most delicious italian food i have yet to have. My boyfriend has always insisted this places is amazing and finally giving it a shot did not let me down!! From the bread they give you while u wait to the beautiful detail in their cappuccino was simply amazing. I ordered of a special diner menu they had and went with lobster fettuccine that was packed with giant soft pieces of delicious lobster. Desert we shared the nutella calzone that was freshly made ,ridiculously delicious. read more

Food is exceptional. We are outside in August and take out last week. They are quick to fix any issues such as missing items from takeout order. The house dressing is incredible as is the garlic bread they serve before dinner. Vodka sauce is yummmm. Pizza was delicious and the personal pizza size was enough for a toddler with leftovers! read more

Service was good. The flavor of the food was a little Bland. I ordered the orecetti with sausage and broccoli rabe and most of the pasta was stuck together in pieces of three or four at a time. When I brought this to the waiter's attention he told me that must be something wrong with the pasta. There was something wrong with the pasta it was inedible. Again the flavors in the service was good maybe I just ordered the wrong food. read more

Food is mediocre at best. Plus to top that got I hit with extra charge for using a debit card to pay bill. Should have a sign letting you of charge before you sit down. Better Italian restaurants in town. read more

Warm wonderful local place. I took it take out, which was really fast. Ordered chicken parm and some garlic knots. Exceptionally flavorful and plentiful portions. Loved the vibe of the place, regretted not eating in. read more

Excellent experience here! Calm and classy environment, great service, huge portions and excellent taste! I recommend the Chicken Parm with vodka sauce, although my SO really enjoyed the Eggplant Parm and my Mother the dish that she chose. BONUS is the exceptional dough knots served comp..great garlic and butter flavor and they didn't bat an eye when we asked for another basket after the well stocked basket we originally received was exhausted. Great place! read more

Perfect slice of pizza! My fiancé and I were in the area and happened to pop in, and I'm so glad we did. We had an event to get to, so we couldn't stay long. We opted to grab some slices and sit at one of the outside tables since it was a beautiful summer day. I was so pleased with our pizza. Perfectly crunchy with a soft and doughy crust. I thought each slice had the perfect amount of cheese and delicious sauce to compliment it. My fiancé highly recommends the Sicilian pizza. I hope to come back and order from the menu within the restaurant next time. Everything looked amazing! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and found the same high quality affordable food as has always been the case. Those postings about take out or delivered orders have to be realistic. Takeout and delivery does not ever make food better. read more

Great food and quick service. It took less than 7 minutes to get our food. That's a pro when you're hungry but a con if you're coming to have a long dinner with family or friends. I am a bread snob and I was very impressed with the bread they gave us in the beginning of our meal. I recommend their Penne Vodka for your entree and cannoli for dessert. read more

The waiter are so beyond nice and treat everyone like family. The food is absolutely amazing. My kids love the Nutella calzone. There are so many amazing Italian dishes to choose from. They have a good amount of seating so waiting is not usually an issue. Overall a great place for families looking for a quick and easy night out. read more

This restaurant was very good. The waiter was amazing and very knowledgeable. We created our own dish based on two of their specials and couldn't get any better. The chef was very accommodating in creating this dish. A bit pricey but worth the $$$ Will definitely be back. read more

This is one of the best pizzas I've have ever tried. The pizza dough is what caught me by surprise. Although the Sicilian style pizza pie is generally thick, the one we had was very light and full of flavor. Between the garlic and olive oil flavors throughout the pizza pie, I could've eaten the pie only, no toppings needed -the Italian sausage was outstanding-. Overall, I got addicted to this pizza... simply amazing... I wish I could find pizza this good in Houston. Also, the cannoli was amazingas we read more

Ordered a gluten free pizza and two slices for delivery only to wait AN HOUR AND A HALF later for my food to be sitting outside in the cold. Delivery guy didn't call, ring doorbell OR KNOCK. I called the the store an hour after I ordered asking where my order was and they said it would be there soon. When I called back a shortly after saying it still wasn't there she asked me to go check the doorstep bec the driver was already back. So I asked to speak to the owner and STEVE(one of the most unhinged people I have ever encountered in customer service based jobs) basically insinuated that I was lying bec his driver "said he rang the doorbell"(why would I lie about $24?) I was just upset my food was cold and wanted a proper apology at least. But this guy went full accusation mode on me. It was pretty wild. Food wasn't even that good too. Lesson learned to not tip drivers until your food gets there ! Bummer read more

More great food and great service from Fabian! White clam linguine, great garlicky sauces. read more

Staff pleasant & service was great, but food was just fair. Salad just Ok, nothing special - chopped lettuce, one black olive, creamy house dressing. Cheese ravioli cooked nicely, but sauce was bland, not much better than from a jar. From previous visit, I recall the pizza to be very good. read more

Great food and attentive quick staff. My daughter wanted to celebrate graduating college and picked to dine here. We had clams casino and fried calimarri which were fresh and perfect. For our entrees we had veal parmigiana, rigatoni in vodka sauce, and linguini in clam sauce. All were delicious and cooked perfectly. The linguini in clam sauce is probably the best I have ever eaten and highly recommend anyone having. Will definitely be back. read more

I ordered from Positanos using DoorDash. I know this restaurant has a decent reputation but I generally hadn't had such great luck here in the past so I usually order Italian elsewhere. I decided to try it again to see if time had made any improvements...with mixed results. My food arrived about an hour after the quoted time, and pretty cold. (I called them for a status and waited on hold twice for over 10 minutes each). I ordered eggplant parm with spaghetti, a calzone, chicken parm w/vodka sauce (never heard of that before), and pasta fagioli soup. The chicken dish was surprisingly tasty, though if it's called Parmesan I felt I'd like to see some cheese on top. Regardless it was good and I'd order it again. I came with two flat pieces of chicken which I felt was most likely breast. The calzone was pretty flat. I cut it and it was fairly empty looking, though when reheated there was gooey filling oozing out. The size of the sauce side was tiny and I had I use my own sauce. The eggplant parm was rather bland, and it was combined with the spaghetti side in one container, which I hate because it dries everything out. I give it an overall OK... and I order eggplant from every Italian restaurant in the area. The soup was very thick with both pasta and beans. I liked it but it needed some broth. It was more like a stew. Maybe they were just very busy, but I think my food should have been hot and Parmesan dishes need cheese on top. Calzones should have visible filling and more than a tablespoon side of sauce. Soup needs some broth. read more
