Usually a good place to come and get some bolognese, but today i came to do a pick up order and received moldy bread with my meal . Of course i called the restaurant to let them know about it so they can make sure nobody else is gonna receive moldy bread and just based off the attitudes of the employees and how this situation was handled, I will not be coming back :)

Spaghetti, Lobster Ravioli, Veal, oh my! Spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs. This is not on the menu but I asked for it and they delivered! The sauce is full flavor and rich with a nice lean meatballs. The Lobster Ravioli sauce is to die for awesome! Craving “Good” spaghetti and decided to come to Positano off Lawndale drive. Service is great with a friendly and quirky long time server. Short review due to only having the two dishes but was very impressed. The bread for the oil dip is in house baked and the garlic oil mix is nice too! Atmosphere: comfortable for date night or special occasions with nice Italian decor and Mediterranean colors.

Ordered takeout. Spaghetti and meatballs was great, but bolognese was unsatisfactory. All noodles, no sauce. Dine in experience is most likely better, will try again!

Jeff was our server today and we all gathered to celebrate our grandson's birthday. Jeff made the meal and the service extra special by being very jovial, interactive and personable. We will definitely be returning maybe on a smaller level. Lol! The food was excellent and in large portions. Also love the baskets of fresh Italian bread and butter along with the oil and spices dip.

I had the Pasta Primavera with a tomato cream sauce which was delicious. The sauce was perfect, there were plenty of fresh vegetables and the pasta was cooked al dente. My partner had the Veal Parmesan. The veal was tender however the red sauce could have been better. We were a large group. Everyone enjoyed the food. The service was very good and the staff was friendly. I would go to this restaurant again.

Ate here last night with a group to celebrate a birthday, and talk about some really good food! Even the starter bread and dip was tasty, which is impressive. For appetizers, the bruschetta was really fresh and delicious, and the perfect amount of garlicky - it was very well done. We also got an order of fried mozzarella, which was good, but needed a little bit of tweaking. The cheese itself had a great taste and an awesome cheese pull; however, it could have used a few more minutes in the fryer, and the breading was very greasy. For some reason, the restaurant opted to serve it on a bed of random romaine lettuce clippings, which was certainly a (questionable) choice. Our entrees were excellent across the board: the shrimp parmigiana was the best I've had, on par with my favorite Little Italy restaurant in NYC, which is truly saying something. Same thing with the chicken parm. The rotisserie chicken here is on another level - the skin is delightfully crispy and well seasoned, and the meat itself was juicy. The lobster ravioli was generously stuffed and the vodka sauce on top made it that much better. Both pizzas - pepperoni and chicken alfredo - were flavorful and the crusts were perfect on both. The limoncello cake was a delicious, light palate cleanser, and the ice cream was a unique but yummy experience as well. The only thing I can really say as far as room for growth is the service: there were some times that our drinks went empty for a long time, with our server nowhere to be seen - which I wouldn't have given as much thought if they had been slammed. Also, I know it's for ambience, but it's really dark in this place, to the degree that it's hard for some of us vision impaired folk to see the menu. All in all, though, a good experience with some delicious food, and I'll definitely be back.

Very nice establishment. Great customer service. Reasonable price range. The staff are very friendly. Highly recommend their Pepperoni Pizza and their Bianca spinach Pizza. They have a nice selection of beers and Wine. Great location. Easy parking. There was one little issue. The lighting was a little dark for me. My wife used her cellphone light to look at the menu. All and all this establishment was one that I Highly recommend.

I ordered online. I was greeted politely and The food was hot and ready when I arrived. I ordered smoked chicken ravioli. It came with bread. The presentation was beautiful, however the food lacks flavor. The chicken was tender, but no smoky flavor. The cheese sauce had a nice color but lacked flavor. I will give them another try!

Excellent experience. We came for dinner around 530 and made reservations ahead of time. We really didn't need to because the restaurant was empty. It did start to fill up as the evening progressed. I will say we had some of the best service I've experienced in a while! I can't remember his name, only because I'm writing my review a week later, but our server was funny and also knowledgeable. I ordered a lemontini, probably spelling it incorrectly, but it was delightful! I ended the night with three of them and left feeling great! But the food! Oh my! The lobster ravioli was indescribable. The sauce was so good we cleaned the plate by dipping the bread in it. The lasagna was a classic option, yet full of flavor. I've been here many times because it's a favorite of mine in the city. I recommend this establishment for quality Italian food and great service.

This restaurant is a cozy spot. My son and I were out Christmas shopping and Positano caught our eye. We were greeted right away and the hostess sat us in a cozy booth. Great timing, because a huge crowd came in about 10 minutes after we arrived. The waitress was gracious to allow my son to order a pizza during the dinner service. She told us it is offered during lunch. My son LOVED the pizza and was very sad he couldn't finish it in one setting...lol I tried a piece and he wasn't lying. I decided on a salad. There was a lot of rotisserie chicken on the rotisserie chicken salad. I think if my appetite was bigger at this particular meal, I would have eaten more. It is a nice size salad. The dressing was really good. Service was great and the atmosphere is a great spot for a small group to socialize. Prices are a bit higher than I expected, but the quality justified it.

The food at Positano was delicious. It was flavorful and you cooked to perfection! I enjoyed the homemade bread and oil they brought to the table and our server was attentive and had a great sense of humor. Inside was quaint, but didn't feel cramped.

I enjoyed the lobster Ravioli and the tiramisu. I get it all the time. I haven't been here in a while and decided to drop in with my friend Shannon. She has never tried it . I was so excited for her to eat it, as soon as it came out I forgot to take a picture of it . I apologize but I definitely took a picture of the tiramisu . Jeff was our waiter and he was definitely entertaining . We enjoyed his personality and performance. Everything was delicious

My wife and I came in here with our granddaughter for dinner on Halloween. It was our first time here and we found it by looking in Yelp for a place near us serving Italian food. The restaurant is in a strip shopping center. At first we drove past it because the lights on the sign were either off or not working. When we went in, we were the only people there. The waitress said they were going to close and go home until we came in. We felt a little bad about that; a bit guilty even though we shouldn't have. The restaurant was nice and clean. It was a place you would want to go and expect a nice meal without breaking the bank. And we were not disappointed. We were brought some fresh bread with a bowl of olive oil, herbs, and spices mixed. The bread is made here from scratch daily and you can tell it. De-lish! Normally I don't eat much bread before a meal, but with this I couldn't stop eating it. For our granddaughter, we got chicken fingers and fries from the kids' meal section. She was wearing a delicate dress and the boss (a.k.a. my wife) didn't want sauce on it. The food was piping hot when it came out. I cut up some of the chicken fingers so they could cool off faster. They were chicken fingers, so nothing special. My wife ordered the Veal Scallopine in Marsala which is fresh veal cutlets sauteed with Marsala wine and fresh button mushrooms. It came with a side of pasta and sauce. We both liked the veal, but when compared to the seafood dish I had, it was not "incredible." Interestingly I really liked her plain pasta and sauce! I got the Seafood Mediterraneo which is shrimp, mussels, clams, scallops, and calamari, sauteed in cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic over pasta. It was truly amazing. There was so much that I could not finish it and took the rest home. I cannot recommend this dish enough. I spoke to one of the kitchen staff and asked him some questions about the food. He explained that they make everything fresh in the kitchen. That explains why it tasted so good. Even with the guilt-trip comment, I'm giving them 5 stars. We will go back and I recommend eating here.

I never would have guessed a great little Italian restaurant would be hidden in a Harris Teeter shopping center. Lots of good food, and plenty of it. The staff is very attentive, and there's a warm intimate feel. You definitely won't leave hungry. They can accommodate kids, but we typically go there for more of a date night. They have a full bar, and sweet desserts, music playing, and bread on the table.

We accidentally discovered Positano while at the nearby Target. We were looking for something different than the options around because we felt like we'd been to those places a thousand times. We were so happy we found this place - the food is great, there is clearly a real effort to have some authenticity to the dishes. They have a big menu with something for pretty much everyone. They also have some Gluten Free options which are very tasty. Service has always been very friendly when we've been there. It's on the other side of town from us, so we don't go all that often, but when we are nearby it's high on our list.

We were visiting Greensboro and were in the mood for some Italian food. I mean good Italian food. Positano did not disappoint our appetite. Even the bread was delicious. At Positano, as soon as you stroll in you are welcome by a joyful server. The restaurant is clean and quaint. The service is fast and the food is abundant, but above all the dishes are mouthwatering.

We had take out and it was a terrible experience. One entrée was missing from the order. The other items were very dry. We picked up as it was coming out of the kitchen, so it should have been fresh. definitely a very high price for the subpar food..

We recently visited Positano and were very pleasantly surprised by the welcoming feeling we received upon arrival. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and seated. The gentleman that sat us was very nice and made us feel at home. Our waitress came shortly after and was absolutely great offering warm bread and a saucer with dressing( which was a rare treat since bread is seldom offered in many we've eaten). She also gave us options for our salads with our meals. We both ordered the Lobster Ravioli. The sauce was incredibly delicious, rich and creamy without being overwhelming. For dessert we ordered the Tiramisu, also excellent. They didn't disappoint. It was such a nice dinner out. Looking forward to our next visit.

This place used to be so good but it has gone WAY downhill in the past few years. We made a reservation and sat down immediately but there were only two servers and the place was fairly busy. We got bruschetta as an appetizer and the bread was almost wet- but also charred at the same time. The tomato part of the bruschetta was fine but the whole thing was ruined by the wet/burnt bread. My friend got the chicken parm and asked for light sauce. When it came out, it had a ton of sauce and the waiter said "sorry, I told them light sauce." Other than that, our service was fine. My shrimp scampi tasted like a lean cuisine or another frozen meal equivalent. The best part of our meal was by far the free bread and dipping oil. Will not be returning-disappointing and overpriced.

Enjoyed a solid Italian dinner At Positano's with a friend last night. We made early reservations at 5:30, but by the time we left the place was packed. I guess it was Saturday night date night. We started off with some bruschetta loaded with garlic along with a glass of Chardonnay and Malbec. Our waiter was very friendly and helped steer me towards my entree of linguini primavera. It was loaded with vegetables from broccoli, peas, mushrooms, asparagus and more. It was served in a rich and creamy pink sauce. Very tasty! My friend had and loved the manicotti. She ate every last bite while I took half of my primavera home. We were so full and about to leave when we rallied and ordered a big slice of limoncello cake. It was the perfect heavenly ending to our meal.!

To be honest, I didn't have high hopes when I first walked into Positano. I felt like I was in for another Elizabeth's Pizza type of restaurant with the cliche Italian decor (including the Italian chef statue). My mind changed quickly once we were waited and served our dinner. First, I must say that the waiter was more than nice and welcoming. The bread was alright but the oil and seasoning to dip the bread in was very flavorful. I got the classic spaghetti and meatballs - sauce was very good, and meatballs were nice and tender and had great flavor (scared it was going to be frozen and extra salty but was not). Good place overall but a bit pricey (my spaghetti was $18). The taste and quality of the food would bring me back.

Call to make reservations. My family walked in during the winter around 6:00 pm and were sat at a side table from the entrance the second set of doors stayed open and when someone would walk in it was so cold. We asked to move to another table but we were told that they all were reserved for reservations. There were several tables open an hour an a half later and after we left never sat. In addition since there was no one else in the restaurant and we complained about wanting to move we could hear the woman we asked talking badly about us to our server when letting him know we were their table. Other than that horrible experience the food is alright, better than Elizabeth's pizza and not one I crave to want to come back. Husband likes the linguini with white clam sauce, the salad is good. I have eaten here a handful of times.

This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Greensboro. However, it's been several years since I've actually dined inside rather than getting take out or Door Dash. It's a small, intimate, cozy place. For starters, they always bring fresh bread and olive oil mixed with Italian spices for dipping. I could live on this bread. It is divine! I ordered their Caesar salad. I'm very picky about Caesar dressing. When they placed the salad in front of me I wasn't quite sure there was any dressing on it. Once I started eating I quickly discovered it contained the perfect amount. The flavor was not too tart or overbearing. It was perfect. My son ordered the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Cheese. The potato dumplings are dense and filling ; covered in a luscious cheese sauce. I ordered the lasagna and it never fails to satisfy. The portions are more than enough so that you have leftovers for another day. The same servers have been there for years and they are very attentive. It was a wonderfully satisfying meal with my family last night.

The best *Italian restaurant* in Greensboro. The rest are just ''pizzeria'' or diners. This is a cozy restaurant, with a warm atmosphere, and great, fresh Italian dishes. Love it and will go again and again.

Best manicotti in town - their marinara sauce is exquisite! We buy their garlic dipping oil by the pint to keep at home and enjoy in between visits... It is indescribablyl delicious! The staff is always kind and helpful plus very knowledgeable. This is a small locally owned business well worth supporting.

Wow wow wow! Love this place so much! This will forever be a family dinner go-to! The service is always incredibly kind and helpful. I'm usually able to walk right in and find a spot. The menu has a lot to offer. Of course we started with bread! It comes with both butter and a olive oil and spice mix. After that, I gotta side Caesar salad. Their croutons must be homemade from their bread because they're tiny and perfectly crunchy. The salad was perfectly dressed and had lots of Parmesan! While I usually go with the Smoked Chicken Ravioli, which is to die for, I went a different route this evening and got the Carbonara with chicken. It was incredibly creamy, rich and decadent. Filled with the classic, bacon and onions, it was delicious. The chicken was there rotisserie chicken. So moist and flavorful in the sauce. You can substitute it for the grilled chicken, but I highly recommend the rotisserie. Overall, a delicious meal and I look forward to coming back again!

(3.5 stars) Greensboro has quite a few restaurants that are frustrating not because they are terrible but because they have the potential to be so much better. Some look great on paper, but their exciting concepts are offset by mismanagement or inconsistent execution. Some have impeccable service but only mediocre food. In the case of Positano, the food is tasty and the ambiance is appealing, but the other aspects of the dining experience leave room for improvement. Housed toward the end of a shopping plaza, Positano is fairly spacious. The brick and wood décor add touches of old-world class, and the restaurant is well-lit. This is a comfortable place to settle in for a meal. The menu features much of what you would expect, which is to say pasta dishes (baked or create your own), pizza, veal, seafood, soups, salads, and apps. Positano also offers half or whole rotisserie chickens, but that is about the biggest departure from convention that you will find. Of course, there is no shame in sticking to the tried and true if you can do it well, and for the most part, Positano's kitchen is on top of its game. My wife and I shared a fried zucchini starter followed by lasagna and seafood alla positano, respectively. The zucchini was cut like shoestring fries, and the batter did not cling very well, but the taste left no complaint. Positano's lasagna adds salami, ham, and eggs to the standard beef/mozzarella/ricotta/tomato sauce composition. The sauce is a bit on the sweet side, but the dense dish is satisfying. The seafood alla positano was billed as shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari, and scallops in a pink sauce over your choice of noodle (I went with linguini), and it came as advertised. The sauce was savory without overwhelming the palate, and the ratio of seafood to pasta left no complaint. Unfortunately, not everything here is up to the standards of the food. Our server was not rude, but he definitely seemed to just be going through the motions. Wait times for food were moderate, and that was with the restaurant far from capacity. Perhaps the biggest gripe here is the relative lack of value. On its face, Positano's pricing is reasonable: $10 for our app, $14 for the lasagna, and $20 for the seafood dish. However, the lasagna ran on the small side, and neither entree came with salads (a $3 addition, if you are so inclined). Even with these annoyances, Positano is a solid mid-tier Italian option. If you want to be blown away, save up for Osteria. If you don't mind overpaying for competently executed renditions of classics, you could do worse than here.

The rotisserie chicken is still cooked to perfection and my favorite. Today I had the rotisserie chicken salad with Italian dressing and I am one satisfied woman. My husband had the manicotti today. He thought the very Americanized sauce was a bit plain and Chef Boyardee like. Now he didn't love the sauce, but he ate every bit. Our service was great and we had a wonderful evening.

As an Italian who moved from NY to NC I am beyond mortified by this dish. The chicken had no seasoning - it looked and tasted like boiled chicken. How you can mess up chicken is beyond me. But the pasta! What Italian restaurant worth their salt doesn't know how to make Alfredo??? What we got was butter soup and I'm assuming the powdered Parmesan mixed with some cream cheese. I won't be trying this place again, we threw this out - I wouldn't even let my dogs eat this.

Stopped in at Positano for lunch while on our way to the nearby Target and Harris Teeter. Having never been, we were expecting a spartan pizza place with counter service and a few rickety tables. Surprise! Positano is a legit Italian restaurant, complete with white tablecloths. The lunch menu is extensive, with a full selection of pasta, pizza, panini, salad, antipasta, shrimp, chicken and veal. It was a tough choice! We opted for a 12" margherita pizza, a chicken parm panini and a vegetable panini. We started off with a basket of bread with some olive oil and spices for dipping. Always a sign of a good meal to come, the bread was warm and excellent and the blend of spices in the oil just right. The pizza was delicious! 6 slices to the 12 inch pie, with tangy sweet tomato sauce, nice slices of mozzarella, garnished with basil and touch of olive oil. The crust was perfect NY style - firm and crispy. Rather than the typical chicken parm sub served on a roll, the prep here is in a panini. The chicken was a plump cutlet, breaded and fried, covered with a layer of tomato sauce with melted mozzarella on top. The whole thing is served in a freshly made panini, pressed till it's crunchy on the outside and warm and moist on the inside. Every bit as good as any chicken parm I've had. Could've used a touch more sauce (next time I'll ask for a cup for dipping). The star of the meal was the vegetable panini. This delectable sandwich consisted of broccoli, black olives, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, tomato, lettuce and provolone - all pressed into a panini. It was sloppy to eat, but the medley of al dente vegetables was delicious and complemented by the crusty panini. Our server, Jeremy, was on top of his game. Orders taken and drinks + bread served with a flourish. Our glasses were refilled without asking, boxes for leftovers brought without asking. Efficient & friendly - this is how it's done! The tab was $40 for 3 with 3 soft drinks, so reasonable for a delicious lunch in a legit italian restaurant. Next time in town, we'll stop back for dinner and try some of those entrees.

They seemed to only have 3 to 4 people working to cover the entire restaurant. The food was mediocre at best. My friend ordered Chicken Marsala that tasted like water was mixed in with gravy, tasted as bland as it could be. My lobster Carbonara was devoid of typical linguine and the pink sauce was rather boring. When I mentioned something to the waitress about especially the Chicken Marsala, she didn't seem to care and ended up only removing my salad from our ticket. We absolutely will not be back.

If I only had one word to describe this restaurant, it would be disappointing. We ordered takeout (because we were out with our pup), so this review is based on food, service, ease or ordering/payment, and value. Ordering was a breeze, and the food was ready before we could even get to the restaurant. After that, things started to go downhill. During the payment process, I was contemplating a tip. Usually, people tip their servers, and typically togo orders don't necessitate a tip, but I was feeling generous, so I added slightly under 10%. He quickly looked at the tip, then in a disappointed, dissatisfied, and disapproved tone told me to have a good day. I shrugged it off, and continued my journey to fulfill the desire of dispelling my hunger. The food was still hot, and I dove right in to the lobster ravioli. I was a little disappointed by the quantity. 5 ravioli, and a little bit of sauce. The flavor was bland, and equivalent to a $4.99 microwaveable bowl in a grocery. $20 is way overpriced... Luckily, I also ordered lasagna. The idea was to eat the lasagna as leftovers tomorrow, but I was still starving. The lasagna was slightly better than the lobster ravioli, but still a very small quantity. My better half ordered linguine with shrimp and scallops. I ate half that. Both the shrimp and scallops were way overcooked, and the whole dish was bland and left us wanting. Do they not own seasonings or spices? Even the free bread was bland. How about a little garlic and/or butter... Maybe the dine-in experience has something that we missed that would make this place better. Maybe we caught the chef on an off-day... I don't know, but it would be hard for me to give this place a second run. 2.5 stars, rounded down because I felt the value was a little unbalanced.

We got very good service here, but the food was very disappointing. Everything tasted like it was from a can, cheap and not fresh. Almost like cheap diner quality. I remember it being better several years ago. Would not go back sadly...

Since we moved to the other side of Greensboro, we don't get to this solid restaurant as often as we once did. But I recently noticed that TakeOut Central was now delivering from here, so we put together an order of 1/3 Rotisserie Chicken ($13), Linguini with White Clam Sauce ($16), Lobster Ravioli ($18), and a piece of Lemoncello Cake ($7). Nothing here is exactly inexpensive, but there is some nice quality. There was not a bad item in the entire order, and everything seemed a touch fresher, a bit tastier. The Linguini was loaded with clams, and the sauce was plentiful, and had great flavor, especially after you thrown on some red pepper flakes. The Lobster Ravioli was nice, but it has a Cherry Tomato Cream Sauce which is a bit heavy for this ravioli - a simple Brown Butter Sauce would be better, I think. The Rotisserie Chicken was as good as always, and I always use what's left over to make Chicken Artichoke Pasta Salad, much like that served at the lamented Rainbow Cafe in Winston. The Lemoncello Cake was very good, though it was a bit lite on the frosting - but the flavor was there.

Once again, this is where that half star would come in handy. I'm close to giving Positano four stars, but although I really like it, I'm not really a fan with an exclamation point. Positano really is a family restaurant: run by an Italian family for your family. The space is very cozy, partly because you couldn't squeeze another table in there with a shoehorn. The place is very popular and every time I've visited it's been packed. Reservations are highly recommended. The food is very good. Everything tastes like traditional Italian, not the chain restaurant interpretations of Italian food. Prices are very reasonable, especially given the quality and quantity of the food. Service is great with personable and knowledgeable servers.

Very friendly staff and delicious food! Love it here! I have never left without lots of leftovers, which is ok by me, because I hate to cook! The prices are really fair, especially because I almost always get two meals out of one order. The pasta was cooked perfectly, I can't wait to go back!

Went last night for the first time last night. After a slow start service wise I will say that they more than made up with the absolutely delicious food. Planning on a trip back later this week. More to explore. A hidden gem in Greensboro for sure

Waited awhile to be seated and the place was kind of empty on at 6pm on Sunday. Seated by a nice waiter and later realized our waitress was the only one for the rest of the tables and it got packed. The food took a bit but our calamari came out in time. The bread was ok, wish it was toasted. The prices are okay and I understand the staffing shortage, as I had to remind the same waitress for more sauce. I wouldn't come back due to having yummier Italian elsewhere. The flavors just were OK.

Refused to take our reservation for a larger party. Wouldn't even take separate tables. Too bad because we tip well.

The pizza is absolutely inedible. I don't know about anything else on the menu. We ordered 2 and both were a soggy, undercooked mess with little to no sauce and too much cheese. I didn't expect to find NY quality pizza down here, but my god! This is just bad. We ate one slice and through the rest away. Never again.
