Positanto Brooklyn Reviews
I do travel to Brooklyn easily. Too much of a headache but this food and service is second to none. Salmon was PERFECT. drunks were PERFECT. To be honest the music was too loud for dinner conversation but EVERYTHING else was amazing. Money well spent.
I had lunch with my son, who lives nearby the restaurant, I was visiting from out of town. They had valet parking - hugely helpful. A welcoming, very professional staff. The food was excellent. The beet salad was great. I am a snob when it comes to linguini a la vongole. This was very good. Bravo! Grazie e tante! I'll be back.
We love Positano! We live in NJ and come to Brooklyn for this fabulous restaurant with friends and family. The restaurant is beautiful, an upscale NYC vibe while focusing cuisine on the Town that is their namesake in Italy! We enjoyed stuffed zucchini flower appetizer, and gnocchi and caci e peppe main courses that were so delicious. We finished with tartufo, cannoli and espresso, perfect ending to our lovely evening. Salvatore our waiter was so nice, the other restaurant staff are so attentive and courteous. The owner is very personable and nice. Our drive is one hour and so worth it! Go to Positano! You’ll feel like you’re in Italy.
Positano is such a gem in Bay Ridge! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed by the warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The space has a cozy yet modern vibe, perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. The food is the real star here. Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, with generous portions that are great for sharing. The pasta is perfectly cooked, the seafood dishes stand out, and the brick-oven pizza is a must-try. You can tell they put real care into both the ingredients and presentation. Service is attentive without being rushed, and the staff makes you feel like family. Prices are fair for the quality, and you definitely leave full and happy. If you’re in Bay Ridge and craving delicious Italian food in a welcoming setting, Positano is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommend!
One of my favorite restaurants -- beautiful place, delicious food, good drinks, great service, and an upscale yet casual atmosphere. The pasta here is made in-house and it sure tastes like it. The bartender is always friendly and accommodating. The servers are friendly and helpful. I like getting the seafood Pasta here but everything I've tried is good! My favorites are the seafood Pasta and the baked clams. Good for a casual lunch outing or a romantic evening date or for a celebration! Definitely will keep on coming back to this restaurant over and over!
This place is always on point and excellent! From the food being amazing and the staff not only attentive but always showing a tremendous amount of love to my family and myself. Salvatore the waiter giving extra attention to my young daughter’s request and Val greeting my father and I with huge hugs, smiles and laughs. Many years of friendship and enjoying great service ! Thanks again guys.. PS- Their ricotta cheesecake is out of this world
I visited Positano for dinner for the first time and had a wonderful experience. Inside is a bit too dark so I chose the outdoor seating area. It felt cozy with warm heaters above my head. We started with complimentary bread and cheesebread, followed by delicious calamari that was fresh, crispy, and flavorful as appetizers. For my main course, I tried the Caserecce Alla Sicilar pasta, which had a unique herbal taste that I enjoyed. The Pork Chop Doublecut was juicy, although a bit too salty. To end my meal, I ordered the bread pudding dessert, which was surprisingly big and delicious with a scoop of ice cream on top. I highly recommend Positano. I enjoyed their service because the waiter is very friendly and even asked how we like the food.
We recently celebrated my friend’s birthday and Positano handled our party of 20 in a professional manner. The staff was phenomenal and I could not have asked for better service. Everyone raved about the menu we selected. I would not hesitate to have another celebration here. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. In my opinion, this is the best Italian restaurant in Brooklyn.
As a local realtor in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, I often take clients to lunch during showings in the area, and one of my favorite spots is this fantastic Italian restaurant. Their panini are a standout—always made fresh, and incredibly delicious. The full bar is a great bonus, offering a wide selection of beverages to complement the meal. Whether you're a local or just visiting, I highly recommend stopping by for a delightful lunch experience.
We went in to celebrate my grandson's first teenager birthday party. The service was wonderful. The food was good/excellent overall. The presentation was good. Some dishes were a little too salty for me. It could be my own preference. I would go back dinning in this restaurant again. Sorry, I forgot the handsome writer's name. He was friendly. The busboys were very polite. It was a wonderful dining experience. Thank you for the service.
Good Italian spot in Bay Ridge. The food here is more modernized than old school new York city Italian food. Love the presentation and pasta here. Also love the service and outdoor dining experience. If you are in the neighborhood this is a good place to stop by. Coffee needs some work and desserts are on the sweet side if you don't mind. Great time!
I really liked this place. The food was amazing! The only downside of this place is it was FREEZING!!!! The AC was too high!!!! The pasta was really good, the Chicken Parm was the best I’ve ever had, and the cake was really good too!!!!! The staff was very informative, but I felt like they could’ve been more attentive because there were times my cousins needed utensils. Other than that I think it was really good!!!! I would highly recommend this place!!!!
If you fancy some classic Italian cuisine and seafood, then swing by this bistro. Upon seating, the table will have a bread basket with condiment. The breads are soft and fluffy, but try not to fill up on them. Their seafood dishes are also delicious. The taste is not too salty, nor is there any residual sand in the mussels! I do recommend ordering their steak, but please make sure you listen carefully. When I went with my family and friends, we did not hear the daily specials too well. Therefore, we were shocked upon seeing the large size, and high cost, of the meat. The meat was tender and flavorful, so we did not mind. The service was perfect. Our server was polite, patient, and helpful! She answered all of our questions and was kind enough to repeat answers when we could not hear the first time. The only complaint I have is the noise volume. I do not know if it is because we dine on a Friday evening, or it is typically this noisy. If you wish to have a quiet meal, this may not be the ideal place. If you are celebrating or having a memorable meal with friends or family, then the atmosphere is already set for you.
7 of us ate dinner last night here. We had a reservation for 7:30 and weren’t seated til 8pm! Apps were good. 3 of us ordered the special veal chop. No price on the menu and it costs $90! We were shocked. This is outrageous and price should be disclosed.
