we waited for the appetizers to arrive, Denise brought us a basket of warm homemade bread which is baked fresh daily on the premises. To say the bread was superb is an understatement, but I can’t come up with a word that adequately describes how wonderful it really was. Shortly after the bread arrived, our appetizers were delivered to the table. For me, having a meal that is truly memorable is a culmination of presentation, taste, atmosphere and service. The presentation of the food was fantastic (as is evident by the pictures) and the taste was divine. And, while they made a few upgrades to the interior, the atmosphere was perfectly conducive to a fine dining experience and the service was sensational! (Thanks a million Marcella and Denise). The appetizers were so good, by the speed in which we ate them, anyone looking on would have thought we hadn’t eaten in weeks. There wasn’t a crumb left. in case you were wondering. We all shared so each of us got a taste of the other’s meal. Everything was sensational. The chicken was cooked to perfection in Sherry’s meal, the ravioli was out of this world, but mine was by far the best. Luckily the portions were very generous or I might have had to order a second helping…it was that good. The menu at Positano has something for everyone from salads and soups to baked pasta, sandwiches and pizza. If there is nothing that suits your fancy, you can create your own dish from a list of different pastas and sauces. But, of course, the best part of the menu is the desserts. You can choose from Spumoni Ice Cream, Limoncello Cake, Tiramisu, Cannoli or Classic Vanilla Cheesecake. Sherry ordered the Tiramisu, Sally had a cannoli and I orderd the Limoncello, which is my favorite dessert. next to Key Lime Pie All three desserts were simply scrumptious. Since I was in food Nirvana, I I can’t say which was the best have no idea when we ordered because they were all equally the main course, but it must delicious. The cakes were have been sometime between moist without too much ordering the appetizers and frosting and the Cannoli was the clearing of the plates. the best I have ever had. It Sherry ordered Chicken was a perfect end to a perfect Piccata (tender chicken breast meal. sautéed in a zesty lemon sauce with capers), Sally ordered the Positano is everything it is Lobster Raviol
