    The food was delicious. The service was great. The view was beautiful. The only thing that took away from the experience as a whole was the restaurant is on a street. My table was just a few feet from cars and mopeds going by. Although it wasn’t extremely noisy, it took away just a bit from the overall experience. But I still loved it.

    We loved Sea Bass and the Cacio e Pepe! My wife is gluten free and they were very accommodating! Fast service too! Many people helping us!

    Food was unbelievable. Service was extraordinarily slow. Very cordial and nice, but very slow.

    The food was ok , not that exceptional . However the service was poor , the waiter keeps on forgetting things and was available to attend the table . We called multiple times , and finally the owner to get heard. There are other places nearby which provide better experience than this one.

    We had a reservation, but were seated in the back. Didn't get a bread plate until our food was almost delivered. Seafood pasta just had clams. Not sure how that differed from pasta with clams.

    A delightful restaurant with great street appeal. Our outside table( ordered an hour previously!) was at the end of the upward street slope so glasses sat a little crookedly on the table but certainly did not ruin the experience. The house wine was excellent as was the local bread and my pasta dish was superb from the al dente pasta to the fresh tomatoes and my husbands fish although a small serving (for a man) was also delicate and well flavoured. Service was excellent with friendly staff. Only slight downside is the outside tables are extremely close to the passing cars but this is just part of the delightful ambience that is Positano! Highly recommend.

    We both ordered the Fruitti de mare seafood/pasta. It was very bland. The deserts were excellent but overall we will not return to this restaurant based on the main course. The views are terrific so good place for drinks or desert but not the overall food.

    The food was extremely underwhelming. We had high expectations for pasta in Italy and it was one of the worst meals we’ve ever had.

    Hard working family owned business. Meals were fresh, authentic Italian with great flavors. Don’t be taken aback by the simplicity of the wine list…order the house wine. We had rosso and it was delicious. Great service and amazing views.

    Food was great. The ravioli was great, the bolognese was the best I’ve had. Calamari was also great. Worth climbing the stairs but recommend taking a taxi.

    6.5/10

    Food was decent. But food in reviews wasn’t offered (pizza) even though menu said pizzeria. Barely was checked in on. We had to get up to ask for our check bc we hadn’t been checked in on since our food was delivered. So we decided to not try desert bc we were afraid of the additional wait.

    We often eat in Italy and find the food great, but this was extraordinary. Loved it! Also great view over the Mediterranean. Nice staff!

    Some of the food was okay. The issue was service. Didn't see anyone for 45 minutes didn't bring out my son's dinner. Finally after asking it came after we were done. Could get more drinks ordered. Disappointing, after every meal in Positano has been very good.

    The location and setting were fantastic. The food quality was better than “good” but the service, particularly at the end of the meal, could have been better. It was difficult to determine who was waiting on our table. After our entrees arrived, the waitstaff either lost interest or they were confused about who was checking in on our table. I would return again but hope for better service next time.

    This restaurant has an excellent environment and nice view. The service was also very good and the waiters are great people. However, the food is not good at all. I am surprised with the reviews from people that say that this was the best pasta they ate in Italy. We ordered a Fruti di Mare and it was awful. We spent almost 70 EUR for food that was not good at all. I saw people that ordered pizza and it seemed very good. The house wine was great, but the food is not good.

    Il Fornilo was our favorite restaurant in Positano. We ate here twice during our 4 day stay after the first meal being so good we had to go back to try other dishes. The food is delicious, and the view is breathtaking. We will definitely be back next time we make it to Positano!
