How this list is chosen: Restaurants serving a tasting menu or omakase, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Al Palazzo
Deep wine list
Set within the Palazzo Murat hotel and its botanical garden, Al Palazzo holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025 and occupies the middle tier of Positano's dining scene, priced below the village's starred counters but above its casual trattorias. The Mediterranean menu runs across both meat and fish, with a lighter lunch format and a more complete evening service, plus cocktails at the adjacent Le Petit Murat bar.
Il San Pietro di Positano
Deep wine list
Few hotels on the Amalfi Coast command their terrain as completely as Il San Pietro di Positano. Clinging to a cliff at Via Laurito 2 with a Relais & Châteaux membership, this adults-only property pairs Italian coastal cooking under Chef Andrea Campani with among the more singular physical settings on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
La Serra
Deep wine list
Positioned within Le Agavi Hotel above the Positano cliffside, La Serra holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) for Chef Annarumma's approach to Campanian ingredients through contemporary technique. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Tyrrhenian Sea, while sommelier Emilia oversees a wine list that reaches beyond Italy into a considered Champagne and rosé selection. Book well ahead: tables by the terrace go first.
La Sponda
La Sponda sits within Le Sirenuse, one of the Amalfi Coast's most prestigious hotels, and brings Campanian Mediterranean cooking to a candlelit dining room overlooking Positano's cliff-stacked houses. Chef Gennaro Russo draws on southern Italian seafood traditions, with dishes such as lemon risotto with capers anchoring a menu shaped by coastal Campania. Michelin Plate recognition and a 2025 Opinionated About Dining ranking of #278 in Classical Europe confirm its position among the coast's serious dining addresses.
La Taverna del Leone
Three kilometres east of Positano's main drag, La Taverna del Leone has operated for nearly six decades as a family-run address where classic Campanian cooking, local fish, regional meat, high-quality ingredients with a measured personal touch, earns consistent Michelin Plate recognition. At €€ pricing, it sits well below the Amalfi Coast's starred tier while delivering honest, experience-backed cooking in a room lined with local blue-and-white ceramics.
Li Galli
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Li Galli holds a Michelin star (2024) and occupies a seven-table dining room inside Villa Franca hotel in upper Positano, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views across to the Li Galli islands. Chef Savio Perna's contemporary menu draws primarily from Campanian produce, supported by a wine list of around 1,000 labels. Dinner only, seven days a week, 7:30–10:30 PM.
Next2
Deep wine list
A Michelin Plate-recognised contemporary restaurant on Via Pasitea, Next2 applies modern technique to Amalfi Coast ingredients without abandoning regional identity. Spinach ravioli with braised beef, raw and cooked tuna with burrata, and an extensive wine list position it firmly in the serious end of Positano dining at a price point a tier below the coast's most formal tables.
Zass Restaurant
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Zass at Il San Pietro di Positano is open, with official restaurant and hotel pages linking to reservations.
