Named after the owner of Il San Pietro di Positano, this hotel restaurant is set away from Positano’s main swirl. Tables are arranged on a quiet terrace above the water, the menu keeps things light and precise – crudo, grilled fish – with an emphasis on long, unhurried lunches rather than spectacle. It’s the kind of place to settle in for a few hours and let the afternoon stretch out.

The produce is grown in the gardens of the legendary San Pietro and the wine list consists of over 600 labels. Zass, is the hotel restaurant though also a Michelin-starred spot with Alois Vanlangenaeker at the helm. Romantic and indulgent, reserve a table on the edge of the terrace for the best views, listen to the live pianist and tuck in! If there's one must for your experience at Zass? Order the signature John Dory.

This Robinson Crusoe-style shack on pebbly Laurito beach is best reached on the restaurant’s own boat from Positano. Adolfo Bella and his wife Lucille turned this patch of wilderness into a barefoot paradise in 1960; today the next generations serve their signatures – thick mussel soup, mozzarella grilled on lemon leaves, the freshest of fish – then leave you to while away the afternoon on the beach.
