Da Adolfo Review

Several coves away from the Spiaggia Grande, on a little beach where pirates used to build and launch their boats, this laid-back trattoria has been a favorite Positano landmark for more than 40 years. The pirates are long gone, but their descendants now ferry you free to the private cove, round-trip from Positano (look for the boat with the red fish on the mast named for the restaurant—it leaves every half hour in the morning; you can also make a steep descent from the main coastal road off the hamlet of Laurito). Sit under a straw canopy on a wooden terrace to enjoy totani con patate (squid and potatoes with garlic and oil), then sip white wine with peaches until sundown. Some diners even swim here—so bathing suits are just fine. It gets busy here, so it may be best to ask your hotel to reserve, since personal reservations are often not honored.
