La Taverna del Leone In Positano

Me and my family only went to the restaurant one of the nights we were staying in Positano, but I have to assume that the rooms are as incredible as our experience was. To start off, we got PICKED UP in a car at 7:30 and the driver arrived at 7:32 and apologized for being “late”. He was extremely friendly and warm. When we got to the actual restaurant, we were given lion stuffed animals as the menu, which my daughter enjoyed very much, and I thought was a very clever and cute touch, given the title of the restaurant in English is the lion’s tavern. Our initial server was very nice and gave us very good attention and seemed to be only focusing on us and making sure we were comfortable. He helped us with wine pairing for our tasting menu, and let my daughter make her own custom tasting menu, too! I thought this was a very flexible and welcoming action of him that made me enjoy the experience even more. The tasting menu was PHENOMENAL and so was my daughter’s penne pasta. We especially like the lobster ravioli and cheesecake for dessert. Just an overall wonderful and warm experience, and every bite of food was beyond words. Great job, staff!!!

La Taverna de Leone in Positano is a true gem. From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by its intimate, detailed atmosphere that felt both cozy and elegant. The food was exceptional, with highlights including the lobster ravioli and an unforgettable cheesecake. The service was outstanding. Our server went above and beyond, even recommending that my stepdaughter have half-portions of dishes to create a custom tasting menu, which we hadn’t even asked for. This thoughtful gesture allowed her to enjoy the experience alongside the adults in a way we hadn’t expected, and it really made the meal special. The wine pairing was another highlight. Instead of removing some of the wines we had chosen, our server gave me half glasses of each, so I could still enjoy every wine without feeling rushed. It was a small touch that made the tasting menu feel even more personalized and enjoyable. We were also pleasantly surprised with a free ride from our hotel to the restaurant, saving us the trouble of booking an Uber. Watching the organized kitchen in action was a treat, and overall, it was a flawless experience. If we could, we’d go back every night. Highly recommended!

Amazing please to stop and lunch in your trip to Positano. The food is good (specially the mussel soup) and the price is pretty fair in computation with surrounding places. The service was also very pleasant.

Pas de grande vue avec une petite terrasse au bord de la route sans grand intérêt, mais la salle intérieure est très agréable. Service impeccable, attentif et souriant. Carte variée, repas d'excellente qualité et superbement présenté en assiette. Service navette très utile.

It had been 18 years since I returned to this restaurant of which I had a good memory. A memory that has not been denied or disappointed. Careful environment, excellent welcome and delicious dishes. I hope to return as soon as possible and not to wait another 18 years ☺️

We first visited La Taverna Del Leone back in 2020 and were blown away by the food and warm hospitality. Five years later, we returned—and somehow, it was even better. The food is absolutely fantastic—every dish bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and made with the freshest ingredients. It’s the kind of meal that stays with you long after you’ve left. On top of that, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality you get. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the service. The team strikes that perfect balance of being professional yet genuinely warm and welcoming. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, we felt completely at home. La Taverna Del Leone has been our highlight of the trip so far. A true gem—don’t miss it if you’re in the area!

The dinner was delicious and we also saw a beautiful sunset.

We had a really good meal at a restaurant with exquisite service and food and reasonable prices, in keeping with the location.

It's a wonderful restaurant. Everything is excellent, dishes prepared with extraordinary care and attention. The nougat semifreddo is magic. See you soon ❤️

Locale molto accogliente, personale molto gentile: tutti gli ingredienti usati sono freschissimi e i piatti davvero originali, gustosi e ben impiattati. Io poi ho un debole per la cucina a vista. Prezzo più che abbordabile per il livello di cucina. Nessun problema per chi, come la mia compagna, ha problemi di lattosio o nickel. Vivi complimenti! Ritorneremo sicuramente…
