Authentic Italian Dining in the Heart of Pinellas
Handcrafted Italian classics, fresh local ingredients, and unforgettable moments
Fresh Ingredients, Timeless Recipes
Quality begins in the kitchen—and at Positano’s, we insist on nothing but the best. Every plate is made with fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from trusted purveyors. Our seafood is carefully selected, our meats are prime cuts, and our produce is crisp and vibrant. We believe that when you start with fresh ingredients, the flavor speaks for itself.
Classic Italian recipes are honored and celebrated here, from house-made sauces simmered for hours to delicate pastas crafted with skill and care. At the same time, our chefs bring creativity to the table, reimagining timeless dishes into something extraordinary.
Our promise: every dish is made to order, every flavor is bold, and every bite carries the authenticity and care that have defined fine dining since 1986.
A Lifelong Passion
At Positano’s, we bring the flavors of Italy to Florida. Named after the charming seaside village on the Amalfi Coast, our restaurant blends tradition, elegance, and heartfelt hospitality. From house-made pasta to savory seafood, every dish is prepared with passion and the finest ingredients.
The Prevalla family warmly welcomes you to Positano’s Ristorante. Under the leadership of Chef Bachi, who has been creating extraordinary dining experiences since 1986, our restaurant is built on a legacy of excellence. For nearly 40 years, Chef Bachi has perfected the art of combining authentic Italian traditions with innovative culinary techniques, offering meals that are as memorable as they are delicious.
