The Amalfi Coast is by far one of the best places to vacation. Time spent here was purely for relaxation. Hubby and I enjoyed every bit of being lazy, eating great food and drinking the best local wine and beer. While there, we enjoyed three local restaurants: Collina, Bruno, and Casa e Bottega. Although there are many great places to eat in the Amalfi Coast, these three are restaurants you must try! They are all in the City of Positano.
In addition, the best thing about restaurants in Positano is that you always have a great view. The views are breathtaking!
Collina Positano Bakery
Collina was one of my favorite places to eat for lunch! It’s located in the center of one of the most characteristic squares of Positano, Piazza dei Mulini. I really enjoyed the pizza and my husband enjoyed a sandwich. The dessert was so delicious. Our waiter wasn’t overly nice, but he was definitely polite and got us our order without any hiccups. If you ever need a place to dine after shopping all day in Piazza dei Mulini, Collina is a great place to get a good meal and tasty desserts!
Collina is the Perfect Location
Collina is only few steps away from a bus stop, which makes it easy to commute to. After eating lunch, we did some shopping. It’s near a ton of shops.
One of the shops I recommend that is near by is Emporio della Ceramica, which is a great ceramic store where I purchased most of our souvenirs.
Casa e Bottega Positano
Casa e Bottega is such a great place to dine while in Positano. It was a bit different than most of the restaurants in Positano. The decor is so cute and relaxing. If you are opting for healthier options, I would suggest dining here. After a few days of eating pasta, you should recharge with a great dish at Casa e Bottega.
The Best Part about Casa e Bottega
This restaurant is a total gem. When we got there, it was about a 15 minute wait, so I did a little bit of browsing and found a few items that were great souvenirs. They are a bit pricey but much of the items are handmade by local artists. Either way, you can do a little bit of shopping while you wait to be seated.
Ristorante Bruno
Bruno is by far my favorite restaurant in Positano. We ate here twice. I could literally eat here daily while in Positano. The views are beautiful, the service is wonderful and the food is delicious. Immediately after checking into our Airbnb, we walked to Bruno and had one of the best pasta dishes ever. My favorite dishes are the calamari and the shrimp spaghetti. The local rose’ was so refreshing!
What’s Near Bruno?
There are couple of shops near Bruno and there are two bus stops near it as well. Also note that the bus service isn’t always timely, but they do show up. We found ourselves used to the buses being late after our second day there. It didn’t matter to us as we were not on a strict schedule.
There is also a small convenient store that we stopped in to purchase a few snacks. We ate dinner pretty early each day and knew we’d get hungry later.
Gelato
Gelato is everywhere in Positano. I literally had it every single day. A couple of places you should try are: Collina and La gelateria della buca di bacco. There are many small gelato shops along the Coast so you do have plenty to choose from.
If you are ever in Positano make your way to one of these restaurants! But also enjoy the beauty that the Amalfi Coast has to offer!
