Tonight we had 7 pm reservations. We were seated within 5 minutes, which was great. That's where our positive experience ended. After 25 minutes of waiting, our orders were taken. After ONE HOUR AND 5 MINUTES, we got up and left. We didn't even get a glass of water in all that time. The waiter never came near us and we noticed people sitting near us weren't served either. The restaurant was not filled to capacity and I have no idea what was going on, but we will not be returning to this restaurant ever. read more

Ordered the ziti-aum-aum which has always been my go to dish to order from here. It was good as expected. The chicken parm was good too but for the price for two dinners for delivery at almost $60 it just didn't seem worth it. read more

Don't use their online ordering system to order your food. I waited an hour for my food and called to check. The women on the phone said she just put the order thru and I would have to wait another 30-45 minutes for my food and there was nothing she could do.... read more

We order or eat here pretty often. Saturday although my order had mistakez I called when I got home they in turn delivered the correct food to my house pretty quickly, evrn though they were packed and its Saturday. The food is al always good and you can order 1/2 portions of pasta. I definitely recommend. Its BYOB too... their pizza is very good also. read more

Positano by far is the best Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria around !! I just had my sons graduation party catered by Positano and it was fantastic!! The food was amazing !!! I would recommend to anyone !!! The food came hot and the delivery person was very respectful!! 5 stars all the way !!!!! read more

Loved this spot recommended to me by my aunt. Classic american Italian place with plenty of choices. I was on the hunt for some chicken parm and this place did not disappoint! I went with their twist on the classic and got my chicken parm drenched in delicious creamy vodka sauce, yumm! My boyfriend got shrimp fra diablo. While the actual spice level was a bit underwhelming, the red sauce was still delicious and flavorful with huge shrimps! We started with an order of calamri and caesar salad. Portions here are huge, I was already stuffed before they even brought out our entrees. Not complaining though, cause I got to eat chicken parm for BREAKFAST the next day! Two more highlights of this meal- complimentary hot and tasty garlic knots (yaaas) and it's a BYO! Service was also friendly and efficient. Will definitely be sure to come back and visit when I am in Wayne again. read more

Positano Restaurant is family owned. I need to express how grateful we are for their dedication to the community. We lived in Wayne over 25 years. Every time there's been a crisis, from Hurricane Sandy, fires and now a Health crisis, Positano has always been there for us. Thank you for all the good food and all you do. read more

Everything is just too oily. They need to decrease on the oil. The pizza is good for the first 5 minutes but then the pizza gets cold and hardens up and then you can see the oil leaking out. And your fingers will be all oily after your done eating the bread. read more

Very good takeout dinner tonight. My family of four chowed down on chicken parm, Ceaser salad and garlic knots. It was delicious! Staff was friendly! read more

I came here for dinner for my sister in laws birthday. Its in a little shopping plaza, and its set up is really cute. I called and they took reservations. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I loved the warm bread that they started us off with. It was so good. Seemed like it just came out of the oven. I had the chicken special of the night. It was good- not the best that i've had but good. The kids ordered some clams which i tried, and they were quite tasty. My sister in law had a half-order of a caesar salad and a half order of a pasta dish. Overall, this place is A-OK in my books! read more

I ordered catering for 25 people this weekend from this restaurant and the food was a smash hit! Everything was delicious and the delivery came right on time. Will definitely be ordering from them again! Stuffed mushrooms, Caesar salad, eggplant parm, chicken parm, penne vodka, fussili arabiata all are sooooo delicious. I can not stop eating the leftovers haha! read more

Positano has really good food and huge portions. I usually have enough left over for dinner the next day. Very good service. I found the specials are usually the best option. Love the apps too. read more

Did take out from here and the food was subpar. The vodka sauce was so thin and tasteless, and a lot of the portions were incredibly small. The food is extremely expensive as well. I saw how packed the restaurant was for dinner and was excited to try but ended up disappointed. read more

We have been going here for the past 8 years. If you love Italian food, this is the place for you. They are there to make your visit the best it can be. They are attentive and want to make sure you enjoy your experience. The Fried Calamari is the best. read more

Amazing food and a great staff such a class act place so polite and clean. I love how sanitary it is especially during COVID!

Food was great and very family friendly. We had a large group and everyone was so accommodating and friendly. The kids loved the Mr Beast burgers and the parents enjoyed the Sangria with a wide variety of items on the menu. Don't forget the appetizers as well ! read more

Food and ambiance are amazing! The food Never disappoints. Wait staff is very attentive but not intrusive. I come here specifically for the cold antipasto... Best I've had! Menu is geared toward even picky eaters. BYOB and some house selections. read more

Came here on a Saturday night and it was very busy. The wait for a table was around 20 minutes I would suggest making reservations because it is a small restaurant. The food is excellent and the service is great. They have entrée specials for the night which all sounded delicious. The bread is amazing and their pasta dishes are very flavorful. It's BYOB which is always a bonus for me! I would recommend coming here. read more

Great place awesome hands on owners involved to make sure the customers are happy. Very consistent food.

The pizza here is excellent so I decided to try the dinners last night as I was very happy with my last order. The eggplant parm was absolutely terrible. There was a fishy or strange lingering taste throughout which was very offputting. The chicken vodka parm that my girlfriend ordered was not better and she only had a few bites and decided not to eat the rest. The bruschetta was the best part of the meal, nice fresh tomatoes and mozzarella with toasted bread. I would not recommend take out dinners from here, however the pizza was great. Don't know if I will be coming back. Probably will find a better place the next time I want italian dinners. read more

My absolute favorite local Italian restaurant. Been coming here for over 20 years and it just never gets old. They have the best baked ziti I've ever had, and the best vodka sauce (very creamy). Also the garlic knots are AMAZING. Oh and their house dressing is like crack. I could drink it with a straw. Family owned and operated, and they are the best people too! They have outdoor dining and they have heat lamps so when the weather gets colder, everyone can still enjoy. read more

Very disappointed by my meal. My daughter and I ordered simple pasta dishes that arrived al dente. I understand this is the preferred method of cooking pasta, but we weren't given an option upon ordering and as a result the meal was quite disappointing. We both sent them back and requested they be cooked more. The replacement pasta dishes we received took a while to arrive and even though they were hot they were still just as al dente. I am not sure why it took so long since they clearly were not cooked any longer. We ate them as we were hungry, and since it took so long to get the replacement dishes the rest of our party was nearly done. If we ever eat here again, we will remember to specify that we do NOT want al dente pasta. It was nearly inedible. The appetizers were delicious but the entree was an epic fail. read more

They're food is amazing especially the pizza!! They're new margarita pizza is DELICIOUS and thin crust. The owner, son and staff is exceptionally nice and treats you as family. Love them and have never been disappointed. read more

Good food, ok service. Ordered numerous times during the summer and covid lockdown and the service was impeccable! Now that indoor dining is back, delivery and curbside service is underwhelming and extremely poor. Definitely could find a balance across all customer engagement offerings. read more

This restaurant is very nice. People are attentive and friendly. We both enjoyed the sea bass entree. Very tasty, delicate and large portion. It was lightly breaded served with a light sauce. Sauteed carrots and zucchini squash were delicately prepared. I highly recommend this place. read more

Very disappointing Dry stale bread Pasta fagioli soup very bland liquid with a strange aftertaste Have tried repeatedly Stopped for awhile and tried it again and just very disappointing read more

Where to start. I don't know a more devoted community restaurant! They were extremely generous to their clients and supportive of the community before the pandemic! Since the pandemic,I have watched them go from takeout and delivery, to tailgating, To outdoor dining...to out door heated dining .They are one of the few restaurants ,I know, that enforces a 25% inside capacity. Doing it all while maintaining the strictest Covid mandates. They somehow figured out how to keep their staff, while maintaining the quality, and the excellence of the food they serve.At the height of the pandemic they had customers Donating money for catering to every hospital in the area. Lastly they just ran a toy drive meant to fill the empty tables at which they cannot serve customers ...it surpassed anyone's expectations. Kudos to this family owned and operated business read more

Had a great dining experience here on Friday night. Had to wait about a half hour for a table. We didn't mind, seeing and smelling the food coming out of the kitchen we knew it would be worth the wait! Lots of local people eating there which is always a good sign.The owners were so nice they gave us a complimentary charcuterie plate as an apology! We were visiting from out of town and were looking for a nice neighborhood Italian restaurant. It did not disappoint. We had pizza, chicken parmigiana, veal franchesca and seafood salad everything was delicious. Would definitely visit again. read more

Positano's is my "go to" for catering any of my events or when we're in the mood for good Italian. The food is consistently amazing and the customer service is fantastic. read more

Disappointed, been coming here a few times over the course of the last couple years and their food quality has gone down. There are far better Italian restaurants nearby, I recommend you try else where. read more

Ordered here twice. First got the personal positano pie. Toppings were decent but undercooked and just generally wasnt a fan of the dough used. Second time got the grandma Pizza and again the dough was very undercooked and had a not so good consistency and taste. I'd say it doesn't compare to the multitude of great Pizza in the area. Their plain slice might be better but I haven't tried it. read more

delivery is horrible. 3rd time ordering. 3rd time wrong. tonight placed order at 5:20. order arrived late and missing dinner. called. Missing meal finally arrived 2 hours after original order placed. no offer for refund or any compensation. 3xs strike out. will never order from there again! read more

The food was good but the delivery was a CLUSTER -you -know-what!! We ordered with the food, a 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke, which didn't arrive with our food. When we called to tell them, they reluctantly said they would come back to deliver it....40 minutes later, they delivered, regular Coke. Normally we wouldn't complain, but thiis always happens when we order from them!! It's either, they forget the salad or the dressing or something. Very very frustrating. Won't be ordering from them much longer. read more

My favorite place for lunch! Everything from this restaurant taste fresh and service is very attentive. Pasta, Pizza amazing Salads..., I love their food. read more

Positano - Lovely local restaurant! - Pizza Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

This was a first visit, me and three friends. I picked the place because it had 4 stars on Yelp, but I can only give it three. The restaurant is a bit small but that's ok. The service we had was very very good. It was the food that was just a bit lacking. The luncheon prices for the specials were more than fair and far less expensive than many similar places. Yet the three stars not four is all to do with the food. We had two chicken dishes that were ok, but not great. Also had a pasta and a meat dish that were ok. The Italian cheesecake was too dense and disappointing. I don't think we'll give it a second try. read more

This place is just ok. Came here a few times for lunch with coworkers and I never left wanting to come back. Is the food bad? No. Are there better options in the area? Absolutely.. read more
