Delicious Italian fare. The minestrone soup is flavorful and filling. Lots of love is included in the recipe. Their pizza is amazing. I had a pesto, mozzarella, and topped slice with a no flop crust. My husband had a chicken, bacon, ranch slice. Soooo good. Heidi is very friendly and attentive. Clean and roomy.

First thing to note is that this is a BYOB, bottle of red, bottle of white, depends upon your mood tonight. We usually order pasta dishes like tortellini and seafood dishes, so I cannot comment on chicken or veal meals. Ambiance is casual. This is a real Italian restaurant and one might overhear conversations in Italian between the chefs. Gabriella is a very attentive server. Last evening, we had entrees of Tortellini Ai Porri (with shrimp) and Seafood Pescatore (shrimp and scallops over choice of pasta). Each dinner was $20.95, generous portions, delicious taste. Also, entrees come with salad, bread, and a couple of pieces of pizza bread. We have dined here several times for dinner and have consistently been impressed by the quality and quantity of Italian food. Check it out once and you will be back!

We came here on the weekend and had a wonderful lunch. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out on time. Even when we order for a delivery, they give you so much food! The only reason I left a star off was the service. While our server was very nice to us and took our order correctly, we had to ask for everything. For example, our appetizers arrived at the table, and we didn't have plates. So we got up and asked for plates. Also the same for forks, spoons, and napkins. We weren't asked for refills, we had to get up and ask for them. Also, refills aren't free, by the way. Which would have helped if the server told us. And the server also didn't bring out the bread and butter until we were almost done eating. It wasn't busy at the restaurant at all, so I don't know why this happened.

We LOVE the pizza & subs! We order take out there often and have always enjoyed our food. The dinners look great, if they had somewhat better gluten-free options we would eat in the dining area also. Enjoy, Chuck C.

Nestled at 1012 Cox Cro Rd, this charming Italian eatery offers a delightful fusion of authentic culinary traditions and a warm atmosphere. Whether you're craving takeout or looking to dine in, Positano has something to satisfy every palate.

As a food reviewer, I have experienced the joy of tasting dishes that truly embody the essence of Italian cuisine. At Positano, the Vodka Sauce Pasta stands out as a showstopper: a creamy and indulgent pink sauce, kissed by a splash of vodka and perfectly complemented by parmigiana cheese. For pasta lovers seeking a classic, the Carbonara features buttery pancetta and creamy yolk eggs that transform spaghetti into a heavenly delight.

  • Cheese Tortellini Alfredo: Rich and velvety—perfectly cooked tortellini enveloped in white sauce steals the show at $12.95.
  • Homemade Baked Dishes: From the Cheese Ravioli to Sicilian Baked Ziti, every item is crafted with love and baked to perfection.
  • Risotto Pescatore: A seafood lover's dream with clams, mussels, shrimp, and scallops that swim in a garlic white wine sauce.

But what truly makes Positano shine is the passion poured into each dish. As noted by customers, the pasta is consistently cooked to al dente perfection, and the sauces are nothing short of amazing. A memorable aspect of dining here is the ability to BYOB, allowing patrons to curate their dining experience exactly as they wish.

On a recent visit, I found myself captivated by the inviting and casual ambiance. It was a pleasure to overhear the lively exchanges in Italian between chefs, reinforcing the authenticity of this establishment. Although there were minor hiccups with service, the overall experience was enhanced by the quality and generous portions of food served. As one satisfied diner said, "Check it out once, and you will be back!"
