Esperienza al di sopra di ogni altissima aspettativa. Ambiente elegante e senza alcun dubbio il ristorante con la location migliore sulla Spiaggia Grande di Positano. Piatti curati che esaltano le eccezionali materie prime locali. Abbiamo ordinato le linguine all’astice e un fritto misto di pesce che profumava di mare asciutto e croccante per finire con una delicatissima delizia al limone. Ricarichi sui vini estremamente corretti. Servizio attento, personale preparato e mai invadente.

Cibo veramente di ottima qualità, con belle presentazioni e porzioni abbondanti. Ambiente tipico e accogliente, personale professionale ma allo stesso tempo gentile e alla mano. Giusto il rapporto qualità prezzo valutata anche la location. Consigliato!

È stata una piacevole scoperta. Non ero mai stato in questo ristorante, ma fin da subito ho percepito la qualità e la freschezza delle materie prime, piatti genuini e di alta qualità. Una piccola perla nel cuore di Positano, esperienza da ripetere assolutamente.

Sono stata con mio marito e mio figlio in questo ristorante e lo consiglio vivamente! Cucinato ottimo, con pesce fresco e tutto curato nel dettaglio, con una vista sul mare splendida. Un plauso particolare va al servizio, ci hanno serviti con professionalità, facendoci sentire a nostro agio come a casa. Grazie e complimenti

Lo consiglio vivamente, ottimo luogo dove mangiare bene e passare piacevolmente il tempo. Inoltre è comodissimo in quanto si trova praticamente sulla spiaggia più grande di Positano

The place is really nice! You can eat typical local food there having a great view to Positano’s beach. My advise is to book a table in advance because it could be really busy especially during the summer season.

This was a solid dinner for our first night in Positano after a long travel day. We had a 7:30 reservation and had no wait. The sommelier was helpful, our caprese appetizer was yummy, and pastas were filling. We also stayed at this hotel and had an amazing experience overall, with the best breakfast buffet we’ve ever seen, great views, and enjoyed an upgraded seaside room.

Did a cooking class at Buca Di Bacco and would highly highly recommend! We had so much fun and learned all of the secrets for real Italian cooking. The portions were huge so make sure you go hungry!!

We ate here for our 20th wedding anniversary. The staff was amazing- Francesco went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable evening. The food was outstanding and the view was incredible!

A nice restaurant with a nice elevated view to the sea. The food was simply divine, relatively more budget friendly compared to the rest of the area, perfectly portioned! I personally can't even stomach anything bitter let alone lemon juice, my goodness those lemon sauces on pasta were so awesome; Lite and refreshing after a long day of walking. Living up to their name, the wine selection also did not disappoint. A great way to end your downwards trajectory in the city and get a nice rest before walking all that back up. 8/10 when life gives you lemons

Our first night in Positano we walked right in and were sat upstairs outside with the most incredible view of the Positano cliff side. The service was fun, the food was amazing, and the pink Pinot Grigio I’ll talk about forever. An unforgettable time and such a great way to start our beach vacation.

One of the best restaurants where we ate The food was wonderful, we had frito misto and tagliolini with lemon (wich i never tried before) and they were absolutely delicious. As desert we took the ricotta cheese and pear tart and we were stunned by it (even tho i am not a cheese fan) this was by far one of the best deserts we’ve ever had.

One of the best restaurants in Positano. Great food, great service, and you can’t find a better view in Positano!

Everything was excellent. The service was impeccable and the food very tasty. Special thanks to Gaetano, who made our dinner really special! I would absolutely recommend!

We really enjoyed the beautiful seaside views, attentive and warm service, and delicious food. We loved everything we ordered; the taglioni al limone was a true standout for us (all the pasta dishes were amazing). We also enjoyed the truffle tagliatelle, gnocchi, and seabass fillet very much. Thank you very much to the team for a lovely evening in Positano. Special mention to Tarik for his outstanding service.

From the moment we arrived, everything about this restaurant was exceptional. The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite felt like a celebration of Italian cuisine. We were treated with genuine warmth and hospitality throughout our visit. The service was outstanding—attentive without being intrusive, and every member of the team made us feel truly welcome. We were there with our two kids, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable—something we truly appreciated as a family. The place itself is absolutely beautiful and spotless clean. From the elegant decor to the perfectly maintained surroundings, every corner reflects care and attention. And the view? Simply breathtaking. Overlooking the sparkling sea and pastel-colored cliffs of Positano, it was the perfect backdrop to an unforgettable meal. A special mention goes to the manager, Stefano, who is doing a fantastic job overseeing both the restaurant and the hotel. His attention to detail and passion for hospitality clearly reflect in every aspect of the experience. Highly recommend—this place is a gem.

Absolutely 5 stars! The quality of the food was exceptional, every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The culinary experience was elevated even further by the wide selection of wines and expert presentation. But what truly made our evening unforgettable was the service. Pedro and Tarik were the heart and soul of our dinner. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel so welcome and cared for. After three weeks of traveling through Italy, this dinner stood out as the best, thanks to them. Pedro and Tarik, you made our family feel at home, and we’ll always remember this evening because of you. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Cooking class by Pedro and Rafaello was so much fun! We made eggplant parmigiana, pesto gnocchi, margherita pizza and dessert from start to finish. They even gave us Prosecco and wine. We got a chef apron and a gnocchi board to take home too. Highly recommend!

Stefano Agostino

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Ristorante Buca di Bacco in Positano, which is part of the historic hotel but open to the public. Please don’t confuse it with the Bar Buca di Bacco down on the beach—this elegant restaurant is located just above, easily recognizable by its red window frames, stylish chandeliers, and a refined lounge area right before the entrance. The open kitchen adds a touch of authenticity and charm. They’ve recently welcomed a new chef, and the menu features some truly interesting and creative culinary proposals. We were absolutely delighted—not only by the quality of the food, which was exceptional, but also by the warm and professional service. A memorable experience and definitely one to try if you're in Positano!

I recently had the pleasure of dining here with my husband and two friends. From the beginning to end everything was outstanding. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful, especially Catello. He gave us wonderful recommendations and even better service. I definitely recommend!

One of the best places to eat in Positano! The food was incredible, but the atmosphere and service was phenomenal! Upon arrival, one of the Chef's , Michel Angelo, waved me over and challenged me to arm wrestling. Not what I expected, but started the night out fantastic!

Family vacation pit stop for a meal at this place. Ordered the pesto pasta, gnocchi, fried calamari and shrimps, chicken parmesan. Nothing extraordinary but rather standard when you see the rather high prices everywhere in Positano. Helpful and attentive staff. Extra points for their hospitality for offering a delicious freshly made birthday cake for my wife as it is her birthday today. Good spot for a good meal.

Siamo davvero rammaricati di dover fare questa recensione. È il nostro posto e il nostro ristorante del cuore che frequentiamo da oltre vent'anni. A volte facciamo il viaggio, solo per deliziarci dei favolosi scialatielli ai frutti di mare. Ebbene questa volta siamo rimasti molto delusi e, purtroppo, negli ultimi tre anni, non è la prima volta che andiamo via non pienamente soddisfatti, ma siamo tornati convinti che, un piatto non all'altezza, può capitare dopo tanti anni. Questa volta, però, crediamo si sia passato il segno. Abbiamo ordinato un sauté di frutti di mare: Ottimo! Vongole, cozze, cannolicchi e tartufi davvero freschi, di ottima qualità e ben cotti! La delusione sono stati gli scialatielli: le cozze erano buone, ma vongole e cannolicchi erano evidentemente secchi e "passati", specie se paragonati a quelli del sauté; e, soprattutto, rispetto al passato mancavano tartufi (o fasolari), nessun gambero rosso (o almeno rosa), nessuno scampo (o almeno mazzancolle), nessun calamaro o seppia e (aimé) nessun pomodorino del Piennolo ma Pachino. Capisco tutto, ma non è il piatto che abbiamo mangiato per anni e i frutti di mare, più vecchi nello scialatiello rispetto al sauté, ci hanno proprio deluso. La terza foto è quella dello scialatiello che "valeva il viaggio". Mi spiace per la recensione, ma ci siamo rimasti molto male....

Cibo discreto bella struttura sono rimasto basito quando ho visto il personale allontanare,in modo cortese , ma senza tolleranza, le persone che si stavano proteggendo da una pioggia violenta oggi pomeriggio. Cortesia e disponibilità assenti. Brutto esempio da non ripetere. Siate più cortesi gentili e tolleranti verso chi vi porta ricchezza.

I’m extremely disappointed with the service provided, particularly by Maria and Mario, who were responsible for arranging our transportation. Despite forwarding the exact email they originally sent…

Posto incantevole. Location pulita e ben arredata. Cibo gustoso e di qualità. Prezzo sopra la media, ma è tipico di queste zone. Ciò che rimane imperdonabile é il comportamento del personale. Mia moglie è coreana e non parla bene l’italiano. L’ho lasciata da sola al tavolo per 5 minuti per andare alla toilette e per ben due volte il personale del ristorante è andato a chiederle di pagare il conto, scadendo nel più inaccettabile trattamento razzista riservato ad una donna orientale che non ricordavano essere accompagnata da un italiano. Mia moglie per ben due volte si è sentita aggredita e ha dovuto ribadire che avrebbe pagato suo marito. Comportamento inaccettabile per un ristorante che si vorrebbe presentare dall’aspetto per una clientela raffinata. La clientela raffinata esige personale raffinato.

The restaurant has a good view, but unfortunately rude waiters. We ordered three dishes, right after we put down the fork they immediately clear the table, twice. I understand that it’s their job, but it’s just too quick. We feel like they are monitoring us the whole time to just make us get out of their restaurant right after we finished. We then asked for a dessert menu but there’s no response from the waiter. We asked again and finally got it. Right when we got the menu from the previous waiter, another waitress immediately came over and asked ‘what you want?’, without even giving us seconds to think about it. Must we leave right after we finished the meal? We don’t feel welcomed at all, and the waiters even yell at us loudly when we are looking for the seat as the waiters are busy serving the guests arriving later than us. Though one of the young waiter was really nice, serving with a great smile. The waitresses are just really mean. They don’t even bother to say a goodbye after making us to leave. The prices are not low, the services provided were definitely under the expectations. Again, the food was great, but the attitude, not again.
