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.

The food was delicious, but I had a very difficult time getting in and out. There is no elevator, and the ramp is wildly noncompliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Atrocious. A ramp is required to have a slope of 8 degrees with flat platforms every 30 feet for people to rest. I have multiple disabilities, and it was VERY hard for me to get up the ramp. It caused immense physical pain. The ramp has an 18 degree slope!! This is ILLEGAL. The ADA is 33 years old, and all business are absolutely required to comply. Many, obviously, do not. Shame!

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.

I've been here on a number of occasions, birthdays, bridal celebrations, dinner dates and every time I've enjoyed the ambiance and the food. The decor is beautiful, I love the oversized wall art & the picture of colors. Our water had us in stitches as he shared the specials, one being the red snapper. He thought that it was a turtle and made the finger gestures of a snapping turtle, we thought it was so funny. I thought that it was kinda cute because it definitely showed his age. It our food was delicious, the drinks were A+ and the atmosphere was perfect for a birthday dinner date.

Had a wonderful time here. We had dinner here with old friends and the place is perfect for the gathering. Foods were high quality and delicious, and services were amazing. All foods that we ordered were great enough to make our time there happy.

We had our "night before" dinner for our son's wedding at Positano Coast. Start to finish, it was by far the easiest and most amazing event I have ever been involved with. Carolina was responsive and communicated everything easily. The staff was so friendly and accommodating that my guests were actually commenting on it. Last minute changes did not throw them off. And then there is the FOOD!!! OMG the food!! With all the ease of planning, I couldn't imagine that the food would be the star of the show. I watched each person pause and shut their eyes for a moment after tasting their first bites (me included)!! Everything from Positano Coast was absolute perfection!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!

My friend and I came in the mid afternoon for bottomless mimosas and to split an appetizer. After we put the appetizer order in, our waitress returned stating that the manager demands we order more food since we chose the bottomless option. There was nothing on the menu stating that this was a policy, nor was this explained to us when we ordered the mimosas (and even when put the app order in). If this is indeed a policy, it needs to be noted on the menu. If the waitress forgot to explain this when placing the order and considering we already had the carafe on our table, it would have been polite to waive the policy for this instance and just state that next time to order one entree per person. However, we ended up in an awkward back and forth with the manager (who never came out to introduce him or herself) which ended up with us just sending the carafe back as we didn’t need additional food. This seemed very much like a money grab to me and the whole thing soured the experience- won’t be back.

Came in on a rainy day while visiting. Ordered the French toast with a side of bacon. I was a little put off at first when I saw the portion and appearance but this was probably one of the best French toast I ever had and my bacon cooked exactly to order (soft). Sangria was great too! DJ was a nice touch as well! Will return!

I also ate before in Positano and sat at the bar. Working Bartender and waiters are very kind! Everyone treated us very carefully and it is a very elite place, I recommend it to everyone.
