Our recent dining experience at your establishment, which initially appealed due to its uniquely quirky decor, unfortunately did not meet our expectations regarding value and culinary execution.
While the service was notably efficient, with our dishes delivered very quickly, the speed led us to feel that the priority was rapid table turnover rather than careful preparation. This impression was ultimately reflected in the quality of the meal.
On a positive note, we appreciated the accommodation of a gluten-free option for one member of our party. However, in my opinion the pizza itself presented several significant issues: the mozzarella was noticeably undercooked, bordering on raw in some areas, and the dish was excessively oily. Furthermore, the accompanying mixed salad was uninspired and bland.
The primary concern was the value. A total bill of approx €90 for one pizza, one gnocchi dish, a simple mixed salad, a soft drink and a single glass of wine appears grossly disproportionate to the quality of the food and preparation standards we experienced.
Finally, we observed that the some of the service staff’s uniforms were visibly soiled. Maintaining high standards of presentation and staff hygiene is crucial in a dining environment and this observation negatively impacted our overall impression.

We decided to go to Positano for my wife’s birthday, so a special restaurant for this occasion was needed, we searched all internet and Chez black kept coming out on top, even our local Italian restaurant owner , said without doubt Chez black
We asked for a frontal table with a good view and the restaurant manageress Gabriella gave us a perfect one with great views, her service made us feel so special,
The menu had a great variety and even though we’d been warned it was expensive, we thought it was reasonable considering the food quality and the restaurant position
We chose lobster with a side of pasta , the pasta was wow in a sauce not too over powering to complement the seafood which was cooked perfectly
We chose a local white wine with help from our waiter Pasqual as the wine list was exceptional.
As they knew it was a birthday celebration we got a complementary tiramisu with a sparkler , which was a great touch
But I have to add was the best tiramisu I’d ever had , the flavour and texture outstanding
Even the owner Gianfranco came over to wish my wife happy birthday, and we got into a conversation about the history about the restaurant, his devotion was truly inspirational.
The attentiveness and service of the staff was exceptional, the food quality, the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever eaten in , so good we went again the 2nd night
So if your ever in Positano be sure to make this restaurant a must on your list as you’ll not be disappointed
Lasagnes "traditionnelles"

Nous sommes venus à deux pour dîner dans ce restaurant à Positano. Nous avions commandé des lasagnes (27 €) et des gnocchis.
Les lasagnes étaient franchement décevantes : le plat ne ressemblait à rien (voir photo) et donnait l’impression d’un vieux reste de cantine. Quand j’ai demandé au serveur si c’était une blague, il m’a simplement répondu : “It’s just Positano.”
Qu’on paye un peu plus cher pour le cadre, d’accord, mais à ce prix-là, on s’attend au minimum à un plat correct.
L’accueil était aimable au départ, mais le reste du service froid et désintéressé. Nous avons même vu un serveur prendre un morceau de gâteau avec ses doigts — pas très professionnel.
En résumé : très décevant, rapport qualité-prix désastreux. À éviter.

We came for dinner as a couple at this restaurant in Positano. We ordered lasagna (€27) and gnocchi.
The lasagna was honestly disappointing — it looked nothing like what you’d expect (see photo) and felt like a leftover from a school cafeteria. When I asked the waiter if it was a joke, he just replied, “It’s just Positano.”
I understand paying a bit more for the view, but that doesn’t justify being served such a poor-quality dish.
The welcome was friendly at first, but the rest of the service was cold and careless. We even saw one of the waiters grab a piece of cake with his fingers — very unprofessional.
In short: very disappointing and absolutely not worth the price. Avoid.
A bit of a tourist trap
