Very warm welcome when we arrived. We elected to sit on veranda on Collins. Our server Antonella was extremely helpful as we ran through the menu. We shared crispy calamari to start, followed by the lobster ravioli, mine had shrimp added. Amazing flavour and sauce. Lobster and shrimp were excellent. The warm bread was good to enjoy the sauce! Desert was table prepared turismo. Which was beautifully prepared by Antonella- a special experience. Taste was outstanding. So glad we picked this wonderful restaurant for our last night on South Beach! Recommended 5*

What a fabulous find in beautiful Miami Beach! The restaurant is gorgeous. The food is amazing and some of the most authentic Italian food I have had outside of Italy (I travel there frequently). I love gnocchi and the cace’ di pepe homemade gnocchi w/ truffle was amazing. Light little pillows of deliciousness in a delicate sauce with a hint of pepper and truffle. Probably the best I’ve ever had. Kudos to your chef! And topping it all off was a beautiful tiramisu made fresh at table side by our wonderful server, Maria. She also happens to be from Rome. What a treat. We really enjoyed our dinner and the top tier service from Maria as well as the rest of the staff. Would definitely go back and highly recommend.

We ate here while we were staying in Miami Beach's Art Deco District for our honeymoon. We made our reservation online and let them know of our special occasion. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a comfortable atmosphere. Our server, Antonella, was absolutely wonderful -- friendly, attentive and seemed that she truly enjoys her job. She made my dish at our tableside as we chatted about her hometown in Itlay. Antonella and her colleagues surprised us at the end of our meal with a dessert and happy cheer to celebrate our special occasion. The food was amazing, too! Everything from the bread to the main dishes and dessert was fresh and of high quality. We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone from individuals and couples to families, and we're looking forward to returning.

If I could, I would give this restaurant and staff 10 stars! The Brazilian hostess who took us to our table was super friendly, made us feel very comfortable, and made sure we got the table we wanted, I don’t know her name but she was amazing! Juan, our waiter from the beginning to the end of our dinner, was always attentive, checking if we were ok and enjoying everything. He was very kind, and we really liked him. The world needs more waiters like Juan One detail that caught my attention was: our table had a defect and was wobbling. One of the waitresses saw me trying to fix it and immediately came over, adjusted it and stopped the table from wobbling I thought that was amazing because it shows the team’s attention to detail and their genuine concern for making sure customers are satisfied As for the food: the pasta dishes were delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Only need to add a little extra salt but I have absolutely no complaints about the restaurant, the food or the team YOU MUST TRY THE TIRAMISU AT THE TABLE it’s delicious! If I could, I would eat it every day hahaha Thank you, team!

My coworkers and I were invited to Happy Hour for Teachers Appreciation Week. The location is situated right on Collin’s Ave off of Washington Ave. We were gifted drinks and food. Everything was delicious and well portioned. Our host, Ivan, was kind and gracious and extremely on top of everything. Overall, we had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend coming here for a big party event or for something more intimate. Until next time folks! Enjoy the meal!!

Everything was perfect since the beginning! Jessica was our waitress and we loved her, she was so nice and always smiling and helping us with our orders. She was always looking and asking to see if everything was ok. It was a great service and the food was also amazing! We ate the Lobster Raviolis and the pasta with truffle and cheese! Even the tiramisu was amazing! In the end, Jessica even thanked us in our language (Portuguese). Best waitress ever! 10 stars really!

Incredible experience at Osteria Positano! Our server Giuseppe took excellent care of us from the second we walked in. He was one of the most attentive servers I’ve ever had and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. He made us feel like family. 10/10! Very nice atmosphere to enjoy dinner. Drinks were perfect. especially the negroni’s. Food was delicious. We ordered the gnocchi cacio e Pepe with truffle, mortadella pistachio pizza, chicken parm and the gnocchi alla sorrentina and they were all very good. We will definitely be back!
