Best for Families - Expert review of Lo Guarracino
Enjoy pizza with the best views of Positano.
It's a little bit of a schlep to get to but it's a lovely walk and worth it for the views alone. The name comes from an old Neapolitan tarantella song about a love triangle between a guarracino (a fish that, though not particularly fleshy, was reputed to be magic), a pilchard and a tuna.
Food and drink:
Pizzas. And plenty of them. But don't ignore the fish: taglioni agli scampi, spaghetti alla marinara and any number of fishes cooked on the grill. The taglioni al limone is delicious.
Ambience:
Inside the decor is café style - small tables, check tablecloths - and there's a little terrace too with those wonderful views over the tower of Clavel and the Li Galli.
Service:
It's relaxed and friendly.
Location:
Walk along the beach, past the Savino (Covo dei Saraceni) and carry on along the Via Positanesi dei America (given the name as a 'thank you' to the Positanesi who emigrated to the US and then helped the country recover after the Second World War).
Price advice:
It's not cheap, but if money is tight you can order a pizza for half the price to take away and eat down on the beach.
