There’s a few great things to do while visiting Positano, Italy. There’s outstanding food, pricey, but it’s not the usual boring touristy fare, either. The simpler restaurants focus on the local bounty, which is naturally the freshest seafood around; lobsters, steamed langoustines, prawns, clams, mussels and fresh fish abound and are prepared simply on a grill or in an oven. Local produce is a perfect accent for the food: flavorful tomatoes, which are grown on the volcanic soil slopes of Mount Vesuvius and Sorrento lemons, which are larger and sweeter than most. Because Positano’s is Campania, there is a great source of good pizza. There are a few chefs here that are very ambitious and take ingredients to a new height. The chef’s are also proud of the local wines as well.

After you’ve hiked down all the many steps, passing by the simply exquisite architecture of the hotels of Positano , the shops, the home and made your way to the water, you’ll find yourself with a choice of simple seafood restaurants. Check out La Cambusa , you’ll be very happy you did. This establishment service and food in non-pretentious and at the same time outstanding. Order the marinated seafood salad for starters, then get the fish of the day, which hopefully will be a John Dory simmered in tomatoes from the owners garden. Or, order the generous helping of fresh shellfish, lightly charred. Request patio dinning, the view from La Cambusa of Positano’s harbor is spectacular.

Besides eating well in Positano, check out the very nice beaches and unique boutiques; you’ll be impressed with the specialized clothes made from linen, cotton and gerogette, plus the handmade shoes and sandals. Ever since John Steinbeck wrote about Positano’s back in 1953, this sleepy town has enjoyed waking up with a fame somewhat out of proportion for its size. Being featured in several movies has only aided in bringing this town into the spotlight for many of the famous and the rich.
