Pizza can also be order in the back dining room and fresh bread from the pizza oven is brought to the table.

Portions are large. The house salad is packed with enough vegetables to meet anyone’s minimum daily requirements: lettuce, cauliflower, red beans, mushrooms, celery, green beans, tomatoes, cucumber, carrot, and green and black olives! There’s lots of flavor in the Positano dishes – chicken scarpariello was tangy and the homemade ricotta cheesecake was fresh and crumbly.
