Ristorante La Sponda In Positano

La Sponda is wow! They are number one and they know it. White jackets, table service, multiple bars, and a main dining room. Food is outstanding. They have music entertainment walking around table to table to serenade you, beautiful views, everyone is dressed up and looking good, dress to impress! We went full throttle , caviar, carpaccio, risotto, cachio Pepe, and more. They live up to their reputation and service. Very hard to get a reservation. Good luck and enjoy

We ate dinner here during our 6 night stay at Le Sirenuse. I was torn on 3 or 4 stars but ultimately gave a 4 based off the staff and the other food I ate while at the hotel. The food was overall pretty good but the astronomical prices really made me judge it harder. We have eaten all over and paid super high prices for meals. When the food is amazing I don't ever talk about the price, but the food at La Sponda was not amazing. For appetizers, we had seared tuna with white beans and greens beans, as well as the grilled squid with lentils. For entrees, we had the "whole" chicken al diavlo and zucchini cream with clams and razor clams. Aside from the chicken which was delicious, everything else was just average. But what was even worse than the average food for the in no way average prices (even for Positano) was the size of the plates. They were the smallest portions I had ever seen. The "whole" chicken was 4 little pieces of chicken. And the zucchini cream with clams was about 4 spoons of zucchini cream with 2 regular clams and 1 razor clam. It was so crazy, my friend and I just kept laughing about it. I don't even know how many hundreds of dollars we spent on one dinner, but we definitely left hungry. On a positive note, the lemon spritz is great (at a price of about $30.00 though).
