A Taste of Positano

Affectionately referred to as the “the Pearl of the Coast”, Positano is a town located in one of the most beautiful valleys along the sapphire-blue Amalfi Coast. The picturesque villages of the coastline seem to defy gravity, and the small inns of this vertical village offer magnificent views from their spectacular locations perched high among the cliffs. Life here still revolves around the sun, sea, and food. Known for its deliciously abundant cuisine, favorite dishes are prepared from fresh fish and meats, influenced by the ocean and local farming. Specialties include fried anchovies with mint and garlic, spaghetti with clams, life-changing pasta dishes, and meats used for tantalizing mixed grills … all sourced fresh from the sea or local pastures. Of course, the locals won’t let you leave this paradise without tasting Limoncello, a well-known drink made of citrus, strawberries, walnuts or rose petals.

Positano, Italy
We enjoyed every minute of our Italy trip!!! Like my husband says, probably the finest trip we have ever taken.
Kevin and Jo Ann - May 2022
Well done, Edible Destinations team! Positano is a dream. Just make sure to buy some ceramics and ship them home! We stayed at the Hotel Poseidon, which is funky and quirky. It reminded us of the hotel from Mamma Mia! The staff was all outstanding. Annalisa in the bar, Marco at the front desk, and the entire staff were wonderful. The best part of the hotel was the VIEW! Definitely reserve one of the rooms with a balcony overlooking the sea. We spent an entire day on the patio with a bottle of wine and didn’t move. Just breathtaking. Highlights include: Cooking class with Donna Rosa was our favorite! It’s about a 15 – 20 minute drive from the hotel. We spent hours with Mamma, Papa, and Erika their daughter, learning to make several dishes and different types of pasta. This was everything we could have ever imagined an Italian cooking class to be. One of the highlights of our entire honeymoon! We can’t wait to try our new skills on friends and family! We also spent a day in Pompeii which was everything we ever thought it would be. Definitely use a guide for your visit. You will learn so much about the city! It was absolutely amazing. A huge THANK YOU to Edible Destinations for making our dreams come true and creating a magical experience for us. Well done!
