Buca di Bacco

Spectacular view of the main beach of Positano. Super service and all dishes exceptional from appetizer to dessert.

We stayed for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone staying in Positano.

Nice restaurant and delicious dishes! The fried appetizer platter was excellent. The gnocchi alla sorrentina and spaghetti with clams were exquisite. Kind staff.

We’ve been here several times before. This place is superbly located near the ferry dock, has excellent views, great service and unusually good food for a top tourist location. The atmosphere is impeccable—everything is plotless, including the rest rooms. We have a “secret.” We go to the uncrowdwd outdoor section on the top floor. No wait time—we were seated immediately, at a table with a stunning view. The menu is limited compared to the main dining rooms, but it contains pleasant surprises. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s comparable to its competition. All of our food was good, but mine was especially so. I ordered something that when translated meant lasagna with buffalo mozzarella in a seafood stew. It was much more than that. The “lasagne” consisted of three layers of freshly made pasta circle with a heavenly tasting cheese mix that included mozzarella, ricotta and Parmesan (?) with lemon juice. The pasta was immersed with a tomato-based frutti di mare based broth. I asked for the recipe, and the chef himself showed up to explain how he made it. What a great experience.
