Warning! Set menu at 45, no options. Service was friendly and welcoming, and there was a talking parrot, which saved this from being a completely unfortunate experience. Most of the set menu items were incredibly salty, to the point of being inedible. The only things that were decent were the sauted spinach, salad, grilled meat platter and the desserts. Unfortunately, one of the worst meals Ive had in a country of great restaurants, Im sad to say. They really need to change their chef or their restaurant will collapse. Save your money, stay in town for something better.

Wonderful meal for a fantastic price! Took a bus from Positano for dinner and really enjoyed everything - there is a 45 pre-fix menu that changes daily, includes house red or white wine and water plus a 5 course dinner. I cannot eat dairy and they were kindly accommodating. Recommend for anyone visiting the area! they will also arrange a shuttle to help you get back if you are staying closer to the water.

Honestly was hoping for so much more definitely just hoping tourists come and want to try it. The food wasnt great. Greasy and the worst Italian food Ive had in Italy. The starter of tomato and buffalo mozzarella was the nicest thing. It really isnt worth the hassle of getting a shuttle up to it. There are plenty of other nicer restaurants within the same price range on Via Christopher Columbus. Dont make the same mistake we did!

Cute family owned farm and restaurant, friendly service and great views of Positano. There is no menu to pick and choose from, you are served the dishes that were prepared that day. The food is nice and servings are generous but don't expect restaurant standard, meals are home cooked and presented. We enjoyed their own brand wine. Nice experience overall.
