We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant! The tasting menu was so fun and the staff was very clear in explaining what we would be enjoying, making sure we were on board. Servers were very attentive and noticed small details - bringing a great beer recommendation to the table as well as sharing the caviar can when we ask questions about it. Very nice and highly professional team. Truly a beautiful dining experience in Positano. First class quality dishes that couldn't be faulted. Lovely atmosphere, the restaurant was full and we were the last to leave! Big shout out to big Tony who made our night with new friends memorable and full of laughs. If you're reading this, it's a yes we should go!!! Say hi to Tony for me. Oh and I met the owners on the way out. Family run and with lots of love to go round for everyone. Without a doubt this was the best Italian food my group had across our trip over the Amalfi coast (and trust me, we went to some nice places on the Michelin guide). Not only was the menu varied and appetising (pasta, pizza, seafood, dessert, wine list), they had plenty of vegetarian options to choose from unlike many other restaurants. We also had outstanding service for our party size of 9. Major shout-out to Tony, Giuseppe and Indu for accommodating all our needs. They also had the most comfortable baby seat we'd used. Parking outside the restaurant is free and made a nice change from paying €€€ at parking lots. Seriously could not recommend this place more, if you're staying around the Amalfi coast you must go here!

Me and my family only went to the restaurant one of the nights we were staying in Positano, but I have to assume that the rooms are as incredible as our experience was. To start off, we got PICKED UP in a car at 7:30 and the driver arrived at 7:32 and apologized for being “late”. He was extremely friendly and warm. When we got to the actual restaurant, we were given lion stuffed animals as the menu, which my daughter enjoyed very much, and I thought was a very clever and cute touch, given the title of the restaurant in English is the lion’s tavern. Our initial server was very nice and gave us very good attention and seemed to be only focusing on us and making sure we were comfortable. He helped us with wine pairing for our tasting menu, and let my daughter make her own custom tasting menu, too! I thought this was a very flexible and welcoming action of him that made me enjoy the experience even more. The tasting menu was PHENOMENAL and so was my daughter’s penne pasta. We especially like the lobster ravioli and cheesecake for dessert. Just an overall wonderful and warm experience, and every bite of food was beyond words. Great job, staff!!!

La Taverna de Leone in Positano is a true gem. From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by its intimate, detailed atmosphere that felt both cozy and elegant. The food was exceptional, with highlights including the lobster ravioli and an unforgettable cheesecake. The service was outstanding. Our server went above and beyond, even recommending that my stepdaughter have half-portions of dishes to create a custom tasting menu, which we hadn’t even asked for. This thoughtful gesture allowed her to enjoy the experience alongside the adults in a way we hadn’t expected, and it really made the meal special. The wine pairing was another highlight. Instead of removing some of the wines we had chosen, our server gave me half glasses of each, so I could still enjoy every wine without feeling rushed. It was a small touch that made the tasting menu feel even more personalized and enjoyable. We were also pleasantly surprised with a free ride from our hotel to the restaurant, saving us the trouble of booking an Uber. Watching the organized kitchen in action was a treat, and overall, it was a flawless experience. If we could, we’d go back every night. Highly recommended!
