In Positano for the day and have heard nothing but rave reviews about Da Constantino. The city is…read morehot, packed, and very crowded. Something off the beaten trail sounds good, so off we go. 45 minutes, thousands of stairs, 500 vertical feet, and near exhaustion, we finally arrived at a dining sanctuary high in the hills. The views are breathtaking. We were seated at an open window with a slight breeze blowing. Fancy, Da Constano is not, but great food, tranquility and a zen feeling causes you to slow your breathing and relax.
We started with a bountiful order of spaghetti bolognese with meat, carrots, celery and tomatoes. Just like "nonna made" and a helping size nonna would of served. The flavor was meaty, tasty and very hearty. A Margherita pizza was huge, tasty, perfectly sauced and enough to feed several people. The sauce was delicious and not overdone while the dough had a nice chew. It was a great replacement for the calories we burned on the way up.
If you are in Positano and looking for quality meal, quiet, unbelievable views and great tastes, hike up the hill to the oasis in the hills, Da Constantino. It is 180 degree change from the beach side crew and well worth the hike. Thanks to the kind staff who called us a cab back to the masses. On Positano, this should be on your list for authentic Italian fare like nonna makes.
