Lovely location right on the beach. Was extremely busy, but they found us a nice table. We found the food to be of a good standard, but nothing fancy. Service was attentive and speedy. The price was expensive, but that’s what you get being on the beach in Positano.

Tried La Cambusa for dinner and was blown away by their pasta and view of the water! We ordered a few pastas to share in the middle, and they all were fantastic. The view sitting in Positano over the beach was equally spectacular, combining to make a wonderful experience. Service was good and fast, and the seating area had some great summer vibes as well. Also had easy and close access to the markets as well. Highly recommend this spot!

The left, front corner table is in my opinion one of best seats to watch Positano going about the busy tourist season. The view is spectacular and your out of the hustle and bustle on the second floor overlooking the ferries coming and going and the many boats that dot the harbor. Food was good, service was little slow but that was fine and we just sat, observed and enjoyed our meal and our day!!!

The seafood pasta was excellent — delicious and served in a generous portion. The restaurant is located on the second floor, giving it a nice vibe and a great view overlooking the beach.

La Cambusa is wonderful and especially flexible with our time of reservation change. Our server, Osvaldo, was fantastic he remembered us as soon as we returned and provided exceptional service. Our food was excellent and we were able to order desserts to go for dessert later on our balcony as the portions were generous and we could not fit dessert at the time of dinner. Please try, you will be so happy!!
