Positano Coast by Aldo Lamberti

Dine in | DinnerPlace is definitely more modern since they redid it... Menu's been the same forever. They have great small plates and for a seafood place their red sauce is top notch. Happy hour is great, bartenders know their stuff.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishesGrilled Octopus, Smoked Salmon FlatbreadRecommendation for vegetariansSomewhat recommendVegetarian offeringsVegetarian menu or section

I attended an event. Do to a crowd, I really expected a different experience and felt that this place missed the mark. Here is my takeaway:ProsBack room for eventsBeautiful spaces and ambianceCute seating with plush furniture by back barLots of options to choose fromConsSever, perhaps kitchen didn't seem to understand food intolerances. Unsure what got lost in the message Drinks weren't balanced and alcohol overpowered the 2 out of 3 drinks we tried. Entree wasn't very memorable

I haven't been here in over 20 years and I have to say I'm not sure why I waited so long to come back! The food and service was excellent! I made a last minute reservation here with my girlfriends last night and the food did not disappoint! The ambiance is wonderful the dining room has beautiful photos of Italy throughout! I always get the zucchini crab cake because it's amazing , it's always consistent in flavor and presentation. We ordered the grilled octopus which was perfectly cooked and the vibrant and flavorful beet salad! It was so nice to sit and chat over wine and great food. My other girlfriend got the rigatoni ala vodka which is another favorite dish of mine! The best kept secret to this place is the creamy homemade limnoncello!! It's absolutely delicious! I'm so glad my girlfriends could be treated to such a darling food experience and take a quick pause on our hectic lives to reconnect. The staff was friendly and allowed us to take our time and really enjoy our evening!! I can not wait to go back!!

Came here for a corporate dinner and while everyone was raving about the restaurant across the street, I find this to be a great space for the first warm evening of 2024 in Philly.I wasn't drinking on this particular evening so I couldn't comment, but everyone seemed to have fun at the bar and it seemed to be a pretty happening place on a weeknight located just 7 blocks from Independence Hall.There were so many options and when given the choices I always ask the server what I should have and she told me I shouldn't miss the crab cakes. They were moist and seasoned perfectly so much that I could not even recall savoring them. For those who don't like fish, they were not too fishy either.The seafood fried appetizer platter was a great starter along with the burrata. Dessert was amazing too. Definitely a nice place to take friends for a warm casual dinner on a nice summer's eve.

Both of the outdoor and indoor seating areas are so nice and you really feel like you're on the coast in Italy! Three of us went and got the rigaton alla vodka, casarecce bolognese, and the chicken foccacia sandwich. For dessert, we got the chocolate pyramid. All of our dinner food was amazing! We all tried the rigatoni alla vodka and it was our favorite of the three. It is definitely a little spicy. The chocolate pyramid was good, but a little underwhelming. Overall we loved our experience there.

This place is so cute. We only stopped by for drinks and an appetizer but the food and service at the bar were great. We had aranicins and Aperol spritz and both were spectacular. Only complaint is the DJ playing hip hop and Latin music doesn't really go with coastal vibes of the restaurant,

Came, saw, brunched, and conquered.Visited Positano Coast on a sunny Saturday afternoon and had an awesome brunch meal with great people. I always ride by this place and was excited to try. Saturdays the have a bottomless mimosa/sangria brunch and boasts a wide array of menu items. There's typically a DJ spinning fun tuned for guests to enjoy. It's a pretty large space with walls adorned with images of Italy. Staff were super friendly and attentive. Great overall service. Food was solid. Went outside of my comfort zone and went with the Short Rib Focaccia. Now the fries were the highlight. Crispy, well seasoned, and delicious Items to keep in mind for bottomless mimosas- the mimosas are premixed. (I wish the champagne and Orange juice came out separately)- the entire party must participate in the bottomless mimosa.

3.5 stars honestly: Brunch here is fun! It's a huge space and good for groups. The bottomless brunch was a good experience for 5. The menu was just so pricey given the amount and quality of food you get. The $17 waffle :') the skillet was good but not great. Anyway, good brunch option if the food isn't a priority and you don't mind spending a lot.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago. We did have reservations and were seated right away. We decided on brunch here to celebrate a friends birthday.I loved the DJ playing fun hits during brunch! Such a good vibe! We all ordered the bottomless mimosas and we all thought it was worth it to do that. We started with the Ffritto Misto and it was wonderful! I had the pear salad and my friends each had a pasta dish. We all were very pleased with our choices.We are looking forward to going to some of the themed brunches they do at the end of every month.

Pros:Great location Nice viewsFriendly staffFood is amazing, despite the long wait - beautifully plated and delicious Great wine and beer selections Cons:It took a while to get our drinks and meals served. To be fair, we had a large group. Despite this it took twice as long as expected. I would have given them 5 stars otherwise!Pro tip:The Sea Urchin linguine is unbelievable and unique - flavored well and has a great mouth feel. I highly recommend this and also Aldo's Seafood Harvest tray! Loved the raw oysters, so briny and fresh; The clams were flavorful and not sandy, and the oyster salad was tasty too. Loved every bite!
