Positano

"One of the nicest meals out I've had in a long time. The staff are amazingly friendly from the moment you walk through the door as was the service throughout, very attentive and quick. The food was just incredible and at a reasonable price. I had the pork belly special of the day which was just fantastic. My daughter had the seafood linguine which she said was the nicest she'd ever had and as an Italian cuisine lover, that's saying something indeed! The portion size was great too. Left just enough room for tiramisu, which as it's my favourite dessert, I can honestly say it was one of the best I've tried! Thank you for an enjoyable evening. Will look forward to a return visit."

"We are local to Guildford and this was our third time visiting Positano after a number of years in absence. The occasion this time is Father's Day. Our quick thoughts here: First, the layout of the restaurant, is quaint, with the tables/ seating located in interesting 'nooks and crannies'. Space looks to be a premium given that it's a listed building but it feels cosy. This may or may not be an attractive feature, but for us, it adds uniqueness and ambience of our dining experience. Secondly, the dishes were made to perfection- all the ones we chose were impeccably cooked to a high standard. The seafood dishes were especially mouth watering - fresh fish, mussels, clams and prawns. Also the dessert menu has a good range of treats for the sweet toothed. Prices are above average but not premium. Thirdly, the service ethos was naturally attentive, polite, yet light and jovial. Staff were well coordinated, food came fairly promptly, and the main person engaged with us/our kids very naturally. In my opinion, the service levels represent a masterclass of how a restaurant should be - one of the best for Guildford restaurants. Our family our four left with full bellies and excellent comments about Positano. Overall, an authentic experience of Italy -- if this is what it's like in the real town Positano in Italy, we will be making a trip there!"

"Best restaurant in town! Returning customer for years now. Perfect dining experience for a romantic date night. The food was immense! My amateur photos don’t do it justice. Staff were great, very welcoming and knowledgeable. Really helped us pick a delicious dinner. Decor is really nice! I’ll be back soon again no doubt."

"Authentic Italian food at this place. I cannot fault the cooking and taste of the food. It was simply delicious! There is an extensive menu, and I would definitely recommend trying the specials. The drinks menu is also extensive, and put server very kindly recommended a bottle of wine which was paired perfectly with our meal. The wait staff were attentive, and provided an amazing service. Plus, the vibe and cosy interior just makes the whole experience even better. Perfect for an intimate date night, or even a meal out with friends."
