We came here for my birthday, and we ordered crab cakes as an appetizer, and we each ordered a salad with our pasta dish. The food was good but the service was very slow so I was a bit disappointed. I did enjoy the Creme Brule for dessert, and the atmosphere was nice.

Not sure why it took so long to discover this gem. Family run restaurant for over 35 years. Very fresh ingredients for well prepared salads. Incredible specials, fresh fish over potato and spinach was delicious. Deserts are all made in house-pear in Port wine with vanilla gelato hit the spot. New go to Italian restaurant for us.

We went there early hoping to get the real Italian feel, and meet the owners, but we were totally ignored by the Italian owners (the 3 sisters), they rather hugged and socialized with their regular customers. I told them it was my husband's birthday, and that was also totally ignored. We did not feel welcome at all. However our Brazilian waitress was nice.
We're not going back there and won't recommend this place to our social circle. Mi dispiace tanto.

We love Trattoria Positano is a must have. We have been going for 20 years, and it only gets better and better. Feel like I'm on vacation in Italy. We are fixtures there at least once or twice a week.

Service was slow but polite. Prices were too high for the casual nature of the place.

Established restaurant with great authentic Italian. Withstood the test of time in very volatile and fickle industry.

The food is very mediocre. The bread given was tasty but miserably small served in a huge basket.
The price is expensive and they sneak in a $3-surcharge for using a credit card for payment. For sure we are never going back!

The food is good, although overpriced. What really pissed me off was the 3% service charge for paying by credit card!
