Trattoria Positano

We love going to this spot! Such a great atmosphere, friendly staff and incredible authentic Italian food. The food is great quality for the price and we always love trying out a new bottle of wine each time. Always such a wonderful experience - highly recommend for a date night or a night out with friends!

Delicious meticulously prepared food with fabulous service. Family business that knows how to take great care of customers. My date had scallops and linguini. Scallops were huge and perfectly cooked. I had sea bass that was also perfectly prepared, and so delicious. We arrived just a bit before closing, but were greeted and served delightfully. Meringue with fresh berries and strawberry glaze was a tasty complement to the scrumptious entrees. Go check Trattoria Positano out!

Nice restaurant to have a real Italian dinner in Cardiff By The Sea. The food is authentic and tasted amazing! My family enjoyed their dishes. We enjoyed a nice red wine before the food came out. For dessert we had the positano lime tarta. I highly recommend this place! Great spot for a date and to be right by the ocean views.

Solid Italian place in Cardiff, definitely authentic, but they have their own unique dishes, a couple of the pastas are handmade as well. I had high hopes, and I was with a big group. Most of them were very satisfied and loved their food. However, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. Ordered bruschetta which was good but needed much more balsamic, couldn’t taste it. The pasta I ordered was under salted and generally just decent. I was hoping for something better. However, I enjoyed the experience, and would likely come back again and try something new.

My anniversary dinner was great. We had 5 items. All of the specials were great. The wine selection was second to none. We has a Super Tuscan...it went great with everything. We has Lobster Ravioli, Seafood Rosato, and Seafood Soup with goat cheese. You will love the complimentary bread with a tomato spread. Make sure to get the Tiramisu...or take it home for light late night snack. You will not be disappointed.

This was the perfect ending to the perfect day! What a quaint little hideaway! Food was very good and service was excellent. The ambiance and decor take you right to the heart of Positano Italy. It is rather stuffy and humid during summer months - get a seat close to the door for a light ocean breeze. We ordered the Alfredo with Chicken, and the Spaghetti Bolognese. The starter salads were just right - light and not over embellished. We also ordered the tiramisu and two glasses of Prosecco. It was a little pricey ($125 out the door including tip). The restaurant is owned by three little Italian sisters who like to mix it with the locals walking by - especially those of a K9 race. Overall lovely night.
