Da Vincenzo Positano Reviews
Great
Wonderful experience ! Service was very good and meal was awesome as well. Server recommended desert and it was very good as well ! Would highly recommend !
One of the best - highly recommended
You must go here - best restaurant experience Iβve had in a long time. Waiting staff so friendly and helpful and kind (sometimes rare in Italy ?). The food was brilliant and the service just outstanding. We stayed in the h it o ice and the lines ups song the street tell the story - they book using an app that works well- the food is just so good - itβs good value (not cheap and you are dining on the side of a road if you are sitting t outside) but itβs beautiful and I couldnβt recommend it more highly. A great experience thank you to the staff who were awesome !
One of the best
Food was super good, friendly staff and very helpful. We didnt need to wait as we had reservations a month ago and once we arrived they gave us the table. The owner was very welcoming as well, and the staff make sure that everything you got as your expectations

The seafood was fresh and delicious; however, this is not an authentic Italian restaurant or in other words, it has been Americanized like other ones in amalfi coast. The service was great and our waiter was extremely nice.

Hands down one of the best food experiences we had in
Hands down one of the best food experiences we had in Positano. We cannot stop talking about this meal. We loved it so much that we ate here twice during out time in Positano! I was so happy I was able to get a reservation in for lunch since this place definitely gets booked ahead of time. We were also lucky we were able to walk in for dinner but we had to be done by a certain time which was not a problem for us at all. The wait staff was super friendly and really made the experience enjoyable. The food was amazing. Everything we ordered from the appetizers to our main plates was absolutely divine. I can't wait to come back to Positano just to eat here again!
The spaghetti nerano was INCREDIBLE! They were able to
The spaghetti nerano was INCREDIBLE! They were able to split it into two portions for us as we made the mistake of having a late breakfast. The fried pizza appetizer was also delicious and great for sharing with the table (comes as 4 pieces). Would highly recommend for a nice lunch or dinner in Positano! They were extremely accommodating and even held our luggage for us while we enjoyed our last meal in Positano!
This was our favorite restaurant in Italy.
The food was so fresh and flavorful. The staff was very attentive. From the appetizer to the dessert, the food could not have been better. They are very busy, so you will need a reservation.
We've been to Rome, Milan and Positano.
This was by far the best meal we had on our trip. The view, the flavors, the people. Nothing beats it. Come here.
Delicious!
Great vibe, delicious food. Great option! Our first time in Positano and we loved it! Authentic Italian food. Wonderful service and great menu. A wonderful choice for our family dinner.
Welcomed home
Such a delight- we were treated like royaltyβ welcomed βbackβ. Years ago (13?) I spoke with the family patriarch outside on the sidewalk as he workedβ¦ returning to make a reservation to dine there, we recalled that interaction. We dined there twice during our stay in Positano and had wonderful meals. In addition to great Italian favorites they also have lean meat options. The staff are remarkable whether they are working your table or just in the restaurant. We appreciated and followed their recommendations. Delicious! Donβt miss Da Vicensoβs!
J.Lo knows
My wife and I had a fantastic dinner at Da Vincenzo last week. We had initially planned to go to another restaurant, but switched to Da Vincenzo after multiple people recommended it to us. We are so glad we made the switch! Don't listen to TMZ - this place is not "swanky"; it is a tastefully decorating warm space, with some of the best food and service we experienced while in Italy. We had a fantastic bottle of wine, following the guidance of their awesome sommelier and enjoyed all of our food. I recommend the muscles, the fried anchovies, the roasted octopus, the rigatoni Genovese style, and the snapper with seafood soup. One tip - do not follow Google Maps to get to this restaurant or you will be sent up a seemingly never-ending series of staircases. Just follow the main road. They also have a shop down the block with some nice home accessories.
SO GOOD WE HAD IT TWICE!
Highly reccomend Da Vincenzo for dinner. The food is absolutely incredible. The staff is welcoming and takes so much pride in their service and food. Could not recommend Da Vincenzo enough. We had the Ragu and rigatoni (out of this world), the muscles (on the menu it says muscle soup but is not soup) and the steak and fish are all incredible as well. Calamari pictured but you can skip because there is so many better things on the menu! The food is SO GOOD. Not sure why there are some reviews that are negative on the taste but IMO they are not accurate. Highly suggest making reservations in advance.

It was a climb, but the view is fantastic and the food was great. We were treated so well by the warm and accommodating staff. We found out later that we could have received a ride if we had a reservation. The dessert was out of this world - a pear cheesecake like nothing we have ever had.
Best food and staff
We were trudging up one of the many flights of steps from our Airbnb and ran into some random young guy who recommended Vincenzo's. As it was just at the top of the steps and we were in no mood to keep walking we decided to head in there. So happy we did. All of us agreed it was the best meal we had in Italy. On top of the phenomenal food - pastas, appetizers, fish, lamb chops - the staff were all fantastic. They were very professional but fun. They seemed to actually like their jobs. We went back the next day (lunch and dinner are the same menu) and would have gone again the next day except they are closed on Wednesdays. We all highly recommend Da Vincenzo's!!!
4.5 stars! We had a late dinner here and snagged a last
4.5 stars! We had a late dinner here and snagged a last minute reservation before our trip. I would recommend reserving here if you plan on dining because even in off season it did not seem like they had the capacity for walk ins. The atmosphere here is super quaint and really adorable. The restaurant is carved into the side of a cliff with the natural stone as the primary decor. It's really a unique space that we enjoyed. The staff was super friendly with great advice and suggestions when requested. As it goes for the food, we mostly liked everything. The eggplant parm was to die for, and I'll be thinking about it well after the trip is over. We also got a cold tomato soup with smoked mozzarella and we found this to just be okay. We got this dish at another establishment so we are a bit familiar with it and we just didn't find this to be our favorite. For entrees we got the zucchini pasta and lamb chomps which we shared and both were good! Overall I'd say this was a good meal with a nice atmosphere that didn't break the bank. A nice spot in Positano!
This was among the best food we ate during our entire 2
This was among the best food we ate during our entire 2 week Italian vacation. We liked it so much, we went back every night that we were in Positano! Although we did not have reservations, because we only found out about it after checking into our hotel ... we showed up and they were very good about fitting us in early in the evening. If you do not have reservations, show up at 6:15 p.m. - 6:20 p.m. and let them know you'd like to have dinner if there is space for when it officially opens at 6:30 p.m. A line will start to form around 6:30 p.m. of stand by customers and they will make space for a few of the parties who are in line. Making reservations in advance is highly recommended as this place is popular to locals and tourists. The staff here is beyond fantastic! They are not snooty, or aloof, even though the restaurant is very highly rated and very popular ... they treat every customer with respect. Rafaele was a great host who made us feel right at home and we felt like family by the end of our trip. He gave us great menu recommendations and had us laughing the entire time during our meal. There wasn't a single dish which we ordered that we didn't like. Literally, we finished everything on our plates, each meal! Grilled Octopus ... This is amazing! Cooked perfectly, so it is tender and flavorful. It is not rubbery or slimy. It is probably our favorite dish ... even my partner ate some and she hates octopus normally. Hand-made Ravioli ... These were our second favorite dish. The combination of San Marzano tomatoes and cheese was absolutely amazing! You cannot taste tomatoes like this in the United States. I could have eaten this dish the entire time, it was so good! Neapolitan baby octopus soup ... While I think I prefer the grilled octopus, this was a close second. It has small octopus and a very flavorful tomato and octopus broth. Tagliatelle with red shrimp ... Very good dish. The sauce was flavorful (you have to be okay with fishiness) and the pasta was done perfectly al dente. Rigatoni al ragu ... This was our least favorite dish, but we still loved every bite of it. It certainly didn't match up to the other dishes we had here, and we would likely skip it again. Honestly, we probably would have eaten here another night too, if we were staying additional time in Positano. The menu is so good and there are a lot of options. Everything is made using fresh ingredients, the prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly. You can eat inside, which looks like a classy cave. Or, outside, where there is a lot of traffic that passes by the table ... but views of the coast. We prefer outside. Overall, this was our favourite restaurant in Positano. There are a lot of mediocre tourist traps ... especially near the beaches/town center. You'll have to climb some VERY long stairs to get to the top where the restaurant is, from the city center. However, the long climb is worth it because everything about this restaurant is perfect and makes us want to return.
I reserved this place a month early for my husband's
I reserved this place a month early for my husband's birthday as it had great reviews and was close to our hotel. The restaurant was well run with excellent service and food. The restaurant was very busy. I noticed the Michelin plaque on the wall so I expected it all to be great and it was. That said, we enjoyed many fabulous meals in Italy and I was a little disappointed that there was limited engagement from the servers and no mention of my husband's birthday which I had included in my outreach. Would I recommend it, yes. Was it the best meal and service we had, no.
Da Vincenzo may be my favorite restaurant in Positano.
Whether eating inside or outside on the street, you will love the food and company of the great Vincenzo. The food is truly unbeatable and prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend anyone visiting Positano spend a night at Da V; I promise you won't regret it!
This wonderful restaurant was right across from where we
This wonderful restaurant was right across from where we stayed and unfortunately we didn't dine here until our last night. We loved it so much. We tried to rearrange our trip so that we could have lunch ther
Wonderful restaurant! Be aware - as of mid November they
Wonderful restaurant! Be aware - as of mid November they are ONLY offering a limited winter menu with small bites and appetizers. I think this is just during the off season for Nov-March, but we were a bit surprised when we walked in since we were excited for pasta but they ended up having a new menu and we ordered small bites - cheese plate and artichoke cheese dip. Plan on getting 3 small plates to split between two people. The only two entree-sized items they had were a lobster roll and a burger. Besides this - this was the BEST restaurant service we had in Positano! We stayed in Positano for 4 days during the off season and came to Da Vincenzo on our last night. At other places, we felt like servers didn't really engage with us/didn't care very much and we had very limited interactions if any at all. At Da Vincenzo they actually had a conversation with us, and took their time to make recommendations and even wine pairings. Not very pricey and they're a Michelin guide recommended restaurant. They deserve it! We were on our honeymoon and they wrote us a sweet message on our tiramisu :) Highly recommend!
Gorgeous food and service overlooking the ocean in Positano!
One of many street-side restaurants with outdoor dining in gorgeous Positano, on the main street overlooking the ocean. Gourmet quality food with amazing service and friendly waiters, in what can be a snooty town. Very pleasant dining experience if you can ignore the smokers, a definite star in the Positano dining scene. A definite repeater!
Amazing food and the service was very friendly,
Amazing food and the service was very friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. It's difficult to get a reservation here and for good reason! I had the pasta with mushrooms and my wife had the lasagna and both were amazing!

This was my favorite meal from our time in Positano! It's highly recommended by locals and tourists for good reason. The food was fresh and had a different spin than the rest of the Italian cuisine you get in Italy. We loved our entrees and the espresso martini was the BEST I've ever had.
Amazing dining experience
Had the most amazing dinner at Da Vincenzos! The service while we waited for the table was very friendly and to top it off the same gentleman we spoke too took care of us for the dinner. The wine pairing was perfetto! The octopus starter is a must try! Highly recommend with reservations of course.
Do not miss THE BEST restaurant in Positano!
The food is exquisite, the entire staff is delightful, and the atmosphere is magical! Make a reservation to secure your spot as it fills up quickly. No question the best restaurant in all of Positano! Do not miss this incredible gem!!!
Lovely
Beautiful decor. Very friendly staff. Walk in for lunch but book ahead for dinner. We had grilled veggies millefeuille and eggplant parmigiana for lunch. Nicest restaurant so far in Italy.
Great food butβ¦
Great food but one of the waiters(shorter with ear piercings) was creepy, extremely inappropriate & unprofessional.
Food is average at best.
Can't understand the hype or good reviews. The lamb chops had no taste or flavor, pasta and fried calamari was ok
We arrived 15 minutes early.
The hostess was very nasty. The food was just average. Much better options in town.
Every dish we had, appetizers, dinner and dessert, was delicious.
Everything we had was delicious! Great service. Table outside, nice view of Positano at night. Started with mussels and eggplant parmigiana, both were delicious. Rigatoni Genovese was good, the pasta alla nerano was amazing! One of the best dishes I had in Positano. Finished with the lemon cake dessert, also delicious. Highly recommend, make a reservation.
We had a nice experience here.
Overall the food was okay, but the dessert was DELICIOUS. For food, we ordered the mussels, calamari, and mushroom pasta. I think the mussels and calamari were okay, covered our craving for both since we have it every so often. Mussels were a little smaller than I realized it would be. The mushroom pasta was good, a little buttery but pasta was perfectly Al dente. Now for the showstoppers, the cheesecake and tiramisu were amazing. The bottom layer/crumble on both were so yummy. Definitely would come back for the dessert.
Food was delicious, but the restaurant was fancier than we
Food was delicious, but the restaurant was fancier than we had planned on so we were caught a little off guard. Small portion sizes but beautifully plated. They had the option for a 7 course sampler that I think would have been great
Absolutely incredible dining experience.
The food...WOW! The staff and the ambience matched right along with this Michelin rated restaurant. Get a reservation or plan on showing up way before it opens in hopes of snagging a table for this fabulous meal!
MUCH over rated place.
Made to wait way past our res. For a table. Only to find that there were many tables available. Stuck next to the busser station. Food average, much like you can get at any corner Italian place in the states. Way over priced for what you get.
GREAT
Ate here our first night in Positano. Very busy but had a very attentive waiter. High energy place. Food was very fresh and reasonably priced. I went absolutely crazy for their deserts. You need a reservation. My wife and I both had seafood which was yummy ! Highly recommend it
Made reservations before we got to positano and when locals
Made reservations before we got to positano and when locals asked where we were going to eat that night and we told them Da Vincenzo they all said "oh that's the best spot in town!" They were right. The appetizers, main courses, and desserts were all spectacular, ESPECIALLY THE BERRY CHEESECAKE. It was seriously the most delectable thing to ever grace across my taste budsYOU HAVE TO GET THE BERRY CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!!!If you're in Positano, do not miss this spot. I know it's overdone but this was legit our favorite meal in Italy.
Tasty pasta in a lovely setting
Excellent food and great service. My husband and I ate hear after walking path of the gods. Food was extremely tasty but I was very hungry so should have ordered a starter. I had the most Delicious octopus ragu & my husband had a pasta- beef ragu. Very friendly staff and good service
Excellent Seafood
The white fish dish (may have been cod or halibut) we ordered was a five out of five for sure!! Absolutely delicious served in a tomato broth with tomatoes, olives over sliced potatoes. The gnocchi dish was also tasty. ***Be sure to make reservations beforehand!!*** They are so busy that they usually donβt take walk ins. Ambiance was also great. I would have loved to go back to try other dishes if we had more time in Positano. Next time!

Best clams and pasta I ever had.
Simple. Perfectly cooked pasta. Delicate clams. Amazing olive oil. Nothing else. Amazing. The roasted octopus appetizer was like no other octopus I have had.
We got lucky with a last minute reservation.
We sat outside but the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous! I have to say our server saved a woman's life. She was choking, he gave her the heimlick maneuver and saved her life! The servers sprang into action quickly, helping this woman. So glad she is okay and the servers were on it! Onto the food, ordered anchovies and the octopus for appetizers, both were superior. I'm not a huge fan of anchovies, yet my boyfriend loves them, this dish made me fan. They're ever so lightly flash fried, just enough for a slight crunch. I ordered the seafood pasta, wonderful light butter sauce. He ordered the porcini pasta, delightful as well. Finished with tiramisu, which I have to say, may have been my favorite tiramisu our entire trip. Finished with espresso and lemoncello! I will say, this restaurant is very fair priced! I wish I could remember the white wine we had, dry but light peach notes on the back end, went fantastic with our meal choices. The restaurant is beautiful. The service is exceptional. The food is everything, everyone says it is! Highly recommend! Will be back!
Really excellent.
We stayed on the other side of the town and dreaded the walk up all the stairs, but it was worth it. Everything was very good. Service was excellent. The pumpkin ravioli was outstanding. But the white fish was out of this world. You won't regret going.
Coolest vibe, hands down yummiest food and best wine in
Coolest vibe, hands down yummiest food and best wine in Positano. The lamb chops were out of this world-- I think about them often! 10/10 experience.
Wonderful dining experience
Many wonderful restaurants on the Amalfi Coast but it will be hard to beat this one. We heard from a friend who travels frequently and loves great food Da Vincenzo delivered on all counts. Nice vibe where you can sit outside or in. We decided outside as it was a lovely evening and it seemed right. The service is welcoming and warm and do a great job in describing the specials. Nice selection of wines that they will help you with and the foodβ¦β¦ SIMPLY AMAZING. It was so good, we went two nights in a row. Since we returned a second night the owner greeted us with a glass of sparkling wine. The eggplant appetizer was amazing, my wife had the pasta special and I had the gnocchi. A wonderful dining experience that you will love. A must visit β¦β¦ The pictures may show how good it looks and I can tell you how good it tastesβ¦.
Fantastic Restaurant
Family Owned Restaurant with amazing food and service Book in advance if you can as they are always busy Extremely popular restaurant. We had two meals and both timeβs incredible food and service . Sat outside both times and loved the vibe and view Great wine list and a great sommelier( who is family) that is more than happy to help you decide the best wines for your choice of meal We lovvvved it Perfection and fun
The best of Positano
It was our first night. I booked this place based on reviews and their legacy. The service and the quality of food is second to none. Classic interior with a modern touch. Great location too. The staff were so friendly in fact they recognize us going past every day. Top dishes are rigatoni, The fried cod and the meatballs. Definitely the busiest restaurant around
Amazing food and friendly service
Made a reservation looking at the other reviews on here and so glad I did. Out of the restaurants I tried while in Positano this was my favourite, so much so I went back for dinner a second time. Definitely make a reservation, although I was able to get a table on the second night but went when they opened. The food was everything I wanted from being on the Amalfi Coast, porcini tagliatelle, zucchini blossom and the second night steak. The waiters especially those who served me the first night were friendly and I felt right at home especially being a solo traveller. They recognised me the second night and came over to say hi which was really nice!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Da Vincenzo Positano at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Da Vincenzo Positano page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Da Vincenzo Positano to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Da Vincenzo Positano!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
