Good deals, friendly staff and good location for tea before a drink in NB. Not my favourite Italian restaurant for food but I still would return.
Not the nicest or most modern looking dining place around, but food is not bad. We enjoyed the Chilli Mussels with Garlic Bread and the Tagliatelle Al Granchio (pasta with blue swimmer crabmeat). Both dishes were tasty and generous in portion sizes. Particularly liked how the mussels were cleaned out very well; no beard / smell.
Had the Fish of The Day- fish was cooked well and moist, but would have been better if the skin was a little more crispy and chips served on the side, as some of them turned soggy with the fish 'juice' dripping onto them.
Tiramisu was on the sweet side, light and pleasant.
Weather was beautiful, hence we opted to sit outside. With the nice breeze blowing, good food and bubbly service, we had a lovely dining experience.
Food is generally good, but too bad about the fish that was given in the seafood platter. It is usually barramundi but it was basa fillets given and the moreton bay bug was not so fresh as the meat is bland. I supposed the cost of the dish made up for it at $55.
I had a movie at Paradiso at 1pm so I wanted to fit in a quick lunch; 40 minutes beforehand. I decided to go across the road, and asked the waiter whether they could deliver. He assured me they could, and brought out the menu. I asked for his suggestions on pasta and matching wine, and went with tagliatelle al marinella, Fresh homemade pasta tossed with a selection of seafood in a traditional napolitana sauce, and a glass of cabernet. Drinks came out quickly and the pasta was not too far behind. It looked good and overall the pasta was very enjoyable with lots of seafood and mussels. Service was attentive, and the waiter had a good sense of humour keeping punters amused. Basic, but tasty Italian, in the heart of Northbridge.
If you're after authentic Italian food then this is the place for you. We were waited on as soon as we walked through the door. The pasta was delicious and I would recommend the penne gondola for sure! There was a great vibe throughout the restaurant which added to the ambience. I would definitely come back! 😀
Do yourself a favour - try it, great food and service. Yes the interior is a bit average but the rest more than makes up for it. We dine out a lot and it was great.
Absolutely LOVELY waiting staff! Everyone bent over backwards to make us feel special. The food was OK but it was eclipsed by how much fun the full experience was. Thank you Positano Staff for adding magic to the evening!! I will certainly be back.
Lovely Northbridge institution. Great homely Italian food..friendly service. Tagliatelle Delicate... yum...al fresco service. .watch the world go by..

Visited this place on Easter Monday.
I really enjoy a place what's not so crowded so pretty happy with my choice of going to Positano.
It was my first time here.
Had calamari with homemade tarts sauce and salad as an entree. Size of the entree is good. Calamari were nice.
As a main I choose to go for the seafood pasta. Can't remember the name of it I think it doesn't matter because the homemade pasta was amazing. It smelled so nice and tasted even better. I would recommend to get extra bread on a side with the pasta, because it has that really nice cream sauce. Nice bread will help to finish it off.
For the dessert I had pudding. It wasn't as good as I was expecting. The pudding it self was bit too salty. All thou the ice cream made it a good balance.
I was expecting it to be more sweeter. But its just me, because I love sweet food.
The service was really good.
European girl was creating me when I was reading the menu outside and she was more than happy to provide me with more information about the menu. She seat me at the table what I liked.
Gentleman, European as well, was really friendly and professional.
Once in all, food was fast, location is good, food is beautiful and service really enjoyable! I'll be back. Thank you guys. :)
We enjoyed a pleasant dining experience, despite the bread that was served being as stiff as a surf board. Sorentos across the road had far more patrons, but it is unjustifiably expensive. Positano had very friendly service and the pasta was not exceptional but good. The place to go if Sorrentos is booked out. The manager, rather than sitting on his posterior drinking wine, should be helping his staff serve and clean up. The best restaurants are never lazy with everybody working very hard. A bit more energy and devotion would see this restaurant lift up.
Came in for a spontaneous dinner on a Saturday night and we were seated right away. Service was friendly and attentive and the food was very enjoyable. Lovely tiramisu :)
Excellent service from wait staff. The arancini is very delicious. Seafood platter is more than enough to feed 2. Tiramisu is very delicious. Hard to find good Tiramisu this tasty.
It was recommended to us that we dine at Northbridge.whilst staying in Perth. We looked for and found a place that cooked a great steak. We found it at Positanos - the rare rib-eye steak was perfect and the lamb shank ranks up there with the best I've ever eaten
Great food, fantastic service. My first time at Positano and I will definitely be back! So many delectable selections on the menu. Loved the calamari entrée ... so nice not to just be served standard 'squid rings' ... and my Blue Swimmer crab tagliatelle was to die for. My girlfriend is vegetarian and they were more than happy to exclude meat and add vegetables to dishes. It's not often that she has so many options ... she had trouble deciding what to eat! The attentive Italian waitstaff were outstanding! Glasses never empty and perfect timing for all courses coming out for all our guests. Everyone had a great time and it was the perfect birthday dinner for my girlfriend.
Great service and excellent food on a stormy Sunday afternoon. It was cold, windy and raining when we decided to take our kids out for lunch. Positano impressed us with a warm wood fire heater and mellow jazzy music. They offer pizza, pasta, seafood and steak dishes. Specials include soup, lasagna, barramundi and porterhouse steak. The service was attentive and the food's great.
We had Matteo as our waiter on the Sunday night over the Easter weekend. Great service, very attentive and friendly, and the food was lovely. Great experience!
Great evening!!!. I was walking with my friend in front of Positano when we met Matteo. He was standing at the door and he invited us to have a look to the menù we weren t sure if have dinner there or not becouse we vegetarian. I don t know how but he understood that when he told us he could make some variation to the menu to make it vegetarian in case.... so we stopped there we had delicious pasta and pizza that Matteo raccomanded to us... he gived us a little bit of entrateinement as well and made sure that our food was vegetarian he made our night we ll come back for sure thanks again Matteo
Highly recommend this restaurant Awesome night out, Fantastic food, great service. Well done. Can't wait to eat there again

Excellent Service. Mateo greeted us at the entrance to Positano Restaurant and from that moment to the moment we left, one couldn't ask for a better waiter. He was professional in all he did, understanding of us having a Paradiso movie to get to, and his attitude and friendliness made the dinner a great experience. I'm sure the other waiters and waitresses there were great too but he was outstanding. And by the way, the food was excellent and good value too. But for us, the service is what we remember. Thanks Mateo, J&J.
Good food and service in Positano!!!. I ve been in Positano restaurant yesterday evening and I ve been impressed about the quality of the food and the good service with we have been treated. I had good time with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed the croatian beer that we never tried before. The waiter did a good service and wasn t too invadent, he let us talk and eat, he just checked if everything was ok to be sure to do a good service, as he explained. We ll come back for sure. I recommend that place.
Great Food and Even Better Service. Had a great night, had the Surf and Turf, prawns were nice and juicy and steak was lovely and tender.
Staff were amazing, always making sure I had a full drink and that everything was up to standard.
10/10! Will definitely be going there again!
Great atmosphere. Food even better!!!!. What more can I say... the staff are genuinely pleasant, the food is amazing, and the atmosphere is perfect. If you want to watch the world go by and enjoy great italian food, this is the place 5 stars (and I am generally very picky)
Seafood Platter.... $45.00.... Get one. Take a look at the picture we added. That will say a 1000 words. All that for $45.00.... Great value
The food wasn't too bad. But... My partner and I had to wait for almost a hr before we were served our mains.
Loved the Food and the Great service. Went to Positano Restaurant on Saturday night with friends and found the restaurant to be quite pleasant, the service was excellent considering it is hard to find good service these days in Perth Restaurants. We all enjoyed our meals and will definitely be coming back again.
My partner and I had dinner here just last night and it was a great experience. We were celebrating our anniversary and the waitress went to a lot of effort for us, which made the experience even better. If you are looking for a good meal in an unpretentious place then this is where to go. The meals are reasonably priced, and we didn't mind waiting a bit for the food. We could at least feel confident that we weren't being served any 'fast' food. The homemade Tiramisu was definitely the best I have ever had! We will definitely be going back and hoping to make this our new go-to place for a decent meal.
The food was delicious and was very reasonably priced, as was the wine. Atmosphere a but flat but it was a Sunday night. Other tables seemed to have issues with slow service and there were some self-proclaimed "coffee snobs" who took exception to the cafe lattes, but no-one's perfect.
Had dinner here tonight for Valentine's day and the service and food where amazing. All the staff are extremely nice and we did not have to wait long for our food or drinks. Definitely coming back.
