SARACENO D'ORO

포지타노에서 맛집 찾기는 참 힘들었어요. 가격은 비싸고 맛은 그냥 그럭저럭... 그런데 인종차별한다는 리뷰까지..! 하지만 여기는 맛도 있고 친절했고 분위기도 아주 좋았어요. 해변이 보이는 뷰는 아니지만 아주 만족스런 식사를 했습니다. 그리고 아주 간단한 인삿말을 할 줄 아는 서버가 있어요:) 저희에게 굉장히 친절히 대해줬습니다.

I recently dined at an Italian restaurant that had been recommended to me as a hidden gem for exquisite Italian cuisine. The food undoubtedly lived up to the hype, earning a solid 5-star rating. However, the service I received, coupled with the relentless and rude handling of the bill, marred what should have been a memorable dining experience.

As someone who has traveled to over 80 countries and has had the privilege of experiencing various culinary delights, Italy has always held a special place in my heart. Italian cuisine was, without a doubt, my favorite in the world. That is until I had this unfortunate encounter.

My family and I arrived at the restaurant with high expectations, ready to savor some authentic Italian flavors. We were greeted with initial politeness, but as the evening progressed, the service deteriorated rapidly. The waitstaff made it apparent that our two small children were not particularly welcome, which was surprising and disheartening given the family-friendly reputation of Italian culture.

The real shocker, however, came when it was time to settle the bill. I lost count, but we were handed the bill over five times in what can only be described as a relentless and discourteous attempt to rush us out of the restaurant. It felt like an affront, considering that we had spent a significant amount of Euros and were eager to pay our dues.

This experience left a bitter taste in my mouth and shattered my perception of Italy as a welcoming and hospitable country. It's disheartening to think that I may have encountered an isolated incident, but it nevertheless tainted what could have been a cherished memory. I sincerely hope that the restaurant can improve its service and create a more inclusive and welcoming atmosphere for all patrons, irrespective of their group size or the presence of children. After all, great food alone does not make a great restaurant; exceptional service and a warm, inviting ambiance are equally important.

The worst restaurant I've ever experienced in Italy. We received the pizza first and were waiting for the pasta and calamari. The team that came later than us received the same food we ordered, so we asked the server for confirmation, but they didn't respond for over 20 minutes and later tried to cover it up by saying it was a course meal. In the end, the pasta and calamari came out 40 minutes after we ate the pizza, so we couldn't eat lunch on time and completely ruined our memories of our trip to Positano.

Restaurant is situated along one of Positanos many narrow lanes.

Staff greeted us warmly and friendly like.
We requested to have indoor seating.

Staff went on to clean up the terrace area, and pull down the plastic shutters for us. This was beyond service.

Waiter gave great recommendations; went on to order the 4 cheese pizza and deep fried vegetables. Both were delicious for its price point.

AMAZING pizza!! Best pizza we had in Italy! Perfectly cooked and so delicious! The gnocchi was amazing as well! Can’t say enough good things. All the waiters were hilarious and so friendly, they had great banter and made us feel so welcome.
