Having had the pleasure of visiting Italy, Positano is the only place that replicates, if not betters, the atmosphere and food of an Italian restaurant. For an ambience that can be casual, the food is heavenly, the prices are very fair and the portion sizes are fantastic! I recommend absolutely anything from Positano.

Had not been for a while due to Dad being seriously unwell and unfortunately no longer with us (he absolutely LOVED Positano restaurant and would jump at the chance to go). Came for a meal on 19/11 to celebrate sister's graduation. The food and service was exceptional as always. We love the homely feel of the restaurant that you get when you walk in- it's very clear that everyone puts their heart and soul into it, especially as for a Tuesday evening it was exceptionally busy! SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS you will never match the service or quality elsewhere! Cannot recommend more, will enclose photos of our delicious meal :-)- Parking

Really nice place, be sure to book a reservation much in advance. We lucked out with a cancellation, which was nice because we were leaving town soon. Hostess and staff were very attentive and kind. Food portions are generous- come hungry! Would def return next time I’m in Plymouth!

Went with my wife and service was first class. Given time to choose wine and order food after being informed of specials. Wasn't rushed. Food was superb and plentiful. Staff were just so helpful and friendly. Ended up having a dessert and coffee liquor...first time ever for me. Will definitely return. Great ambience.

Impressed. It's been booked out every night I've tried to get in, and I now understand why. The whole team should be very proud of what they do.

By far the best Italian restaurant in Plymouth, if you're looking for an authentic Italian experience (both in terms of food & the restaurant's atmosphere!)
No other Italian restaurant that I've tried in Plymouth personally has even come close to replicating authentic Italian food like the food that they serve in Positano!
The quality of the food is unmatched, and I am yet to try a dish that I didn't enjoy; it's very rare to find Italian food of this standard in Plymouth so it's no wonder that this restaurant is so popular & highly rated!
A very nice touch is that they give you free bruschetta before you have your meal, and it's the best bruschetta I've ever had!
The portions are huge so make sure you're hungry!
Most of the pasta dishes I've tried have come piled high on the plate, and the Calzone was absolutely enormous!
The prices are also very reasonable, and you definitely get your money's worth with the quality of the food & large portion sizes
The atmosphere is cosy & welcoming, and they play a good mix of Italian-feeling music at a comfortable volume that doesn't inhibit your ability to have a good conversation with friends and family over your meal
The staff are also very friendly & accommodating, which adds to the experience
Booking a table can sometimes be a bit difficult because of how popular the restaurant is, especially on weekends but it's well worth the effort to do so!- Service

Been coming here for 20 years, easily the best Italian restaurant in Plymouth. Specials are always fresh and varied, pizzas and pasta dishes are delicious and desserts are always sublime. If you haven’t yet been, you absolutely must!
Delightful penne pasta with Italian sausage, chicken with lemon and wine sauce was super tasty, friendly service. All the food we ordered was delicious. We'll be coming back.

Absolutely amazing lunch at this family owned and run Italian Restaurant. Such high quality dishes and very generous portions. Lovely efficient staff and a very clean well organised venue. Well worth a visit day or night. Nothing pretentious just tasty well cooked authentic dishes. Such good value for money. You won’t be disappointed!
