Da Vincenzo

Tucked away in the heart of Positano, Da Vincenzo delivers an authentic Italian dining experience that perfectly captures the magic of the Amalfi Coast. From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported into a warm, family-run establishment that feels like a treasured local secret. Da Vincenzo represents everything you hope to find when dining in Italy - exceptional food prepared with love, attentive service without being intrusive, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger over every bite. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a genuine taste of Italian culture and hospitality. The food was outstanding and the staff treated us like family, offering genuine warmth and hospitality that made the evening truly special. We went on my birthday and at the end of dinner the celebration started... All of the sudden I was surprised with all the servers and the restaurant owner singing "Tanti Auguri a Te." A special thank you to all the staff and to Raffaele - you are amazing! Hasta pronto! Robert, Joannie & Julianna

One of the restaurants on the Michelin apps so we decided to give it a try. We grabbed a table outside which has nice view of the city but not as stunning of a view as the restaurant next to them, Restaurant Positano. Our waiter was very attentive. He let us ordered 1/2 of a couple of appetizers because he overheard me wanting to try the fried zucchini flower while my husband wanted to try the calzone. The fried zucchini flower is a must try if you happen to see it on their special. For entree we had the red snapper and black truffle pasta. Get the red snapper. It was grilled to perfection and came on a bed of veggie and lemon sauce. Absolutely delicious. The pasta, though it sounded good, it was quite bland.

Let me start by saying: I didn’t actually eat here. But that’s exactly why I’m writing this review. As an American tourist, my experience at this restaurant in Positano was deeply frustrating. We called ahead and were told there would be an hour or an hour and a half wait. We were instructed to arrive in person to be added to the waitlist. We made the strenuous hike — twice — only to be told we’d be added. I even mentioned that my internet wasn’t working well and confirmed with staff that it wouldn’t be an issue. They assured me everything was fine. Yet somehow, we were skipped. After an hour and a bit of waiting I checked and found that I had only JUST been added to the list only about four minutes ago. No apology, no solution. Just indifference. I work in healthcare in the U.S., I’ve dined at three Michelin star restaurants, and what I value more than food is service. You can serve the best dish on Earth — but if you can’t treat people with basic courtesy and respect, I have no interest. More broadly, I noticed a disappointing attitude toward American tourists in Positano. We may be loud or “uncultured” to some, but we also invest heavily in these economies. Experiences like this make me wonder why our money is welcome but we are not. To anyone considering dining here: there are many beautiful places in Positano where your time and presence will be appreciated. This, unfortunately, is not one of them. So glad I didn’t waste €500 here and took my money elsewhere! If I can reach one American through this review I’d have done my job. GRAZIE FREAKIN MILLIE

AMAZING!!! Gluten free gnocchi is to die for. They also provide gluten free bread. Great service, love the location, would recommend. Book early if you can as we saw many people not able to get in just from walk-ins. This is a MUST visit!
