Eating in Positano
The pizzerias and restaurants facing the beach, while overpriced, are pleasant and convenient. At the waterfront, I like Cambuso, but the neighboring places also leave people fat and happy. The unassuming Restaurant Bruno is a better-than-average value for Positano, near the top of Via Colombo — handy if you don't want to hike down into the town center for dinner.
If a picnic dinner on your balcony or the beach sounds good, sunny Emilia at Delikatessen can supply the ingredients (antipasto misto to go at €1.60/100 grams, sandwiches made and sold by weight; daily March–Oct 7:00–22:00, Nov–Feb 7:00–20:00, just below car park at Via del Mulini 5, tel. 089-875-489). Vini e Panini, another small grocery, is a block from the beach a few steps above the TI (daily 8:00–14:00 & 16:30–21:30, tel. 089-875-175, just off church steps).
