Another fantastic meal at Positanos for an 80th birthday celebration. Food and service are always brilliant, that's why it's been our favourite restaurant in Plymouth for the past 25 years.

By far the best Italian restaurant in Plymouth, if you're looking for an authentic Italian experience (both in terms of food & the restaurant's atmosphere!) No other Italian restaurant that I've tried in Plymouth personally has even come close to replicating authentic Italian food like the food that they serve in Positano! The quality of the food is unmatched, and I am yet to try a dish that I didn't enjoy; it's very rare to find Italian food of this standard in Plymouth so it's no wonder that this restaurant is so popular & highly rated! A very nice touch is that they give you free bruschetta before you have your meal, and it's the best bruschetta I've ever had! The portions are huge so make sure you're hungry! Most of the pasta dishes I've tried have come piled high on the plate, and the Calzone was absolutely enormous! The prices are also very reasonable, and you definitely get your money's worth with the quality of the food & large portion sizes The atmosphere is cosy & welcoming, and they play a good mix of Italian-feeling music at a comfortable volume that doesn't inhibit your ability to have a good conversation with friends and family over your meal The staff are also very friendly & accommodating, which adds to the experience Booking a table can sometimes be a bit difficult because of how popular the restaurant is, especially on weekends but it's well worth the effort to do so!

Down in Plymouth for football me and my wife went to Positano, s Saturday night , we had a wonderful evening with great food and a superb atmosphere , there was a very big 70th birthday party in but it didn't affect the service which was first class . My wife's monkfish was the biggest portion we've ever seen . Very happy customers Sean and Lesley

Having had the pleasure of visiting Italy, Positano is the only place that replicates, if not betters, the atmosphere and food of an Italian restaurant. For an ambience that can be casual, the food is heavenly, the prices are very fair and the portion sizes are fantastic! I recommend absolutely anything from Positano.

The meal and service was great. But at the end the waitress insisted that the service was not included in the bill pushing us to tip. This ruined all the experience because since when we are charged for service in the UK?!? Tipping is a voluntary act and not mandatory. Quite unpleasant attitude from the waitress

My wife and I visited positano today and literally had the best dining experience ever. Not only was the main dish superb, but the dessert dish I had (which was a frangipane dessert) was one of the nicest I have ever tasted. Along with all this, the staff were amazing and made you feel at home. I would recommend it to anyone considering visiting.

I booked a table for my wife's birthday, trusting that the reviews were better than a few of the dated photos. I needn't have worried; the staff were so warm and welcoming and the food was excellent. My boys (9 and 13) were treated well and there was good humour throughout. The complementary bruschetta was absolutely delicious and all of the mains were fabulous. We were disappointed to have to leave early to catch our train but will definitely make a special stop next time we are in Plymouth. An Italian gem!

We love the homely feel of the restaurant that you get when you walk in- it's very clear that everyone puts their heart and soul into it, especially as for a Tuesday evening it was exceptionally busy!

Fantastic food and service. Positano is a hidden gem in Mayflower Street, Plymouth. It was bustling with customers and the ambience was perfect. The specials were exquisite, especially the starters; scallops wrapped in bacon on a skewer and the beef bresaola with goats cheese and balsamic vinegar on top. For main course I went for the lamb in a red wine jus served with roasted potatoes and seasonal veg, whilst my wife went for the sea food pasta - all of which was was delicious and flavoursome. In conversation with one of the many attentive waiters we were celebrating my wife’s birthday and within 5 minutes the waiters came out to sing happy birthday to my wife and even brought out a dessert for us both to share and enjoy. I also missed out the part of complimentary Bruschetta at the start of our meal. Positano will leave you feeling full and happy, and you’ll want to re-book and come back again. Prices of the meals were very good. Our bill came to £79 which included us buying a bottle of wine!

Had really high hopes for this place and got slightly let down, Although the place was very busy, service was fast. Although, as reading the menu I struggled to find vegetarian options. There was no key unfortunately to pick them out, me and my Boyfriend both got flat fizzy drinks so that’s slightly disappointing. My pasta fish was lovely and the portion was great. I would say they should please put “V” on the menu at the side of vegetarian dishes. And also put the bruschetta on the menu!!

Called to book a table for 7pm, and I was told that there was no availability at 7, but there was a table available from 6-8. I booked this table, and arrived at 6. We ordered our food, which was very nice, but at 7:15 we were told to leave as they needed our table for another group. We had not yet finished our drinks, and felt we were being told to neck them and go. The staff had also been looking at us beforehand as though they were hoping we'd leave. Didn't appreciate being told to leave before our reservation timeslot was over and before we'd finished our drinks. Regulars will be treated well, but if you're not a regular then you should go elsewhere. EDIT: In their response, they say that they asked us to leave at 8pm. This isn't true, as I mentioned in my original review. They asked us to leave because they "needed the table" at 7:15, a whole 45 minutes before our reservation ended. This claim that it was at the end of our reservation when it wasn't has reaffirmed my opinion that I will not be returning.

Great food and large portions. In fact we went as a family of 4 and actually had to split a large pasta dish between my 7 and 8 year old. The waiter was great and gave great insight into the dishes. The bread was freshly made and this alone won us over as the chef clearly has a joy for cooking. My duck was perfect and the roast potatoes where crispy without any heavy grease or oil. Definitely recommend to those that enjoy meals out and freshly made meals. Only fault I could pick if it is a fault at all is there was no children's menu. However, this wouldn't affect your experience as dishes can be split or accommodated for your table. Amazing service and food.

Best Italian restaurant in the South West. As good as ever. Ask Mario why he is a hero, he'll be shy, but ask him. Still the best. Well, partly regrettably but also joyfully the Positano has changed hands. Hallelujah Mario is at the helm, the great place it has always been will continue A long and happy retirement to the founders. A long and happy future for the new "Patrons". Still the best. What can I say, try to avoid the "Happy Birthday" Band. Otherwise, still marvellous. Do I recommend anywhere else in Plymouth - NO.

✨ If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine in Plymouth, Positano has got you covered! ✨ 🎈 Positano has been on my ‘must visit’ list for a long time now, so I was thrilled when we managed to get booked in to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday yesterday evening! 🇮🇹 I believe the restaurant is Italian family-owned, and this really shines through. The food was both incredibly delicious and truly authentic. The staff were amazing (and absolutely hilarious), and really went to the effort to make you feel welcome and looked after. 🧄 Their homemade bruschetta is on the house and served as an appetiser whilst waiting for your starter or main course. They don’t shy away from the garlic, so I do recommend bringing some mints! Positano has gained the spot as best Italian Restaurant in Plymouth 🏆

Some of the food is really good, some is medicore at best - If you're a fan of simple student-esque cheesey pasta then I'd reccomend the Vodka Penne... Otherwise opt for something else! Perhaps just a poor choice on my part? The service on the other hand was superb. Very attentive and efficient even on a busy saturday. I had an after dinner Negroni from the cocktail menu too... it's probably the worst Negroni I've had (and I've sampled a few). Others in our group were very happy with their food and drinks.

We thought we were lucky. After a quick phone call (someone cancelled the reservation!) we rushed for dessert! We had been seated near the glass display cabinet... After a few minutes the lady came back saying they're not a caffe, and we can't have only desserts. I've mentioned our intentions twice... It might be an awful misunderstanding but I think it could be handled differently. Especially because it was International Women's Day... and one of the ladies is pregnant... Oh well, I guess it's their right to do so. We went and "took precious space" elsewhere.

Second visit after such nice meals the first time, I chose the carbonara as I had this on the first visit and really enjoyed . This time it was completely tasteless. My wife and daughters meals were very salty and my granddaughter’s spaghetti bolognaise was nothing like a bolognaise with hard carrots and crunchy celery! My granddaughter has a severe food allergy and we are always worried about eating out but as we had eaten here before, and she hadn’t been poorly we were happy that she would be safe. There was nothing suitable for her in the starters section so she chose to have a dessert instead as part of the set meal. Half way through she alerted me to the fact that she had a small piece of plastic in her sorbet. I was a little bit horrified but didn’t say anything and thought,,, these things can happen. After a couple more spoonfuls and a larger piece of plastic I told the waiter and he took it off me and apologised saying it must have been from the sorbet container. No gesture of goodwill offered, not that we would necessarily have accepted but not good service and certainly WONT be going back!

Our two families visited on a rainy day during the Easter break. They fitted us in and catered to our fussy family choices. Our food was delivered to the table promptly and we were all very happy. The service was also very good so we would happily recommend the Barbican pasta bar to anybody looking for some hearty Italian food in Plymouth.

Great food, good for lunch. Better when it’s quiet and we prefer booth tables that are sometimes available. Ordered arancini, rustica pizza and cheesecake.

Acabo de volver de vacaciones y quería un menú de 3 platos con una buena relación calidad-precio al final de un largo día de viaje. El personal estaba por cerrar pero eran más que dispuesto a permanecer abierto y luego nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. las porciones buen tamaño y una excelente relación calidad-precio
