Not overly expensive and away from the hustle and bustle. The seafood pasta was outstanding but my pasta with lemon sauce was a bad choice. There was nothing wrong with it but just not to my taste. Would definitely go again and pick something different. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We went here for dinner, based on a hotel recommendation. I should have checked on Tripadvisor or yelp (as I usually do, but was overruled by traveling partners). Lovely location, but uninspired food and service. There are many better options in Positano

Vacationing in Positano, we stopped by Lo Guarracino for lunch. While it was 5 minutes off the beaten track, it turned out to be a good idea. We had fresh fish, nice local wine and pizza and were delighted. The view is beyond spectacular and the food matched it. There were over 15 restaurants on the Positano beach....haven't tried any...

Based upon a review in one of the guide books, we trekked to this out-of-the-way restaurant about five minutes from the beach in Positano. The view of the Bay is fantastic, but the rest is disappointing. The food was mediocre except for the pasta al limone. The service was abrupt and rushed. There was no ambience to speak of and...

Great location with fantastic view around the corner from the main tourist area of Positano . You can hear the waves on the beach below. Food great, seafood salad to start was perfect for sharing. Mussels with tomato sauce and spaghetti vongole to die for. Desert lemon tirimasu yum! The jug of house white was also lovely. Great value for... More

I have had many daydreams of this restaurant! It is beckoning me to come back.....the coastal path to find this hideaway spot is a big draw, but the fresh seaside fare and pizza oven we're over the top. Caprese salad, margharita pizza for the kids, house wine, fresh fish, gelato......we sat along the rail facing southwest towards the beach and... More

We ate in this fabulous little restaurant while on a walking holiday along the Amalfi coast. Pietro made a special effort for my friend's 60th birthday by creating an amazing pizza with a birthday greeting. All this required a special effort on his part and made for a memorable night for us all. The pizza was cooked in a wood-burning... More

We enjoyed a very good dinner and bottle of wine at this restaurant. I had a veal dish which was excellent and my wife had a fish dish which was also great. The restaurant is a short walk from the Positano dock and has a great view. We will definetly recomend this restaurant.

You must walk the path along the water (on the right hand side from the beach) to find this little restaurant. Since it was Oct. we had to arrive a little early to see the sun set over the water but they were kind enough to give us time to enjoy the view before we ordered. I had the lemon... More

We were worried about our ability to find reasonable value dining in Positano. Fortunately, we stumbled across Lo Guarracino which is right above the sea between the two main Positano beaches. Although it's not more than 200 yards from the center of Positano, this restaurant has an isolated feel, and the outdoor eating space made for a very romantic dining... More
