The best Italian in my area. I recently took my family out for dinner here. We had a good time and excellent service from the staff. It was family-owned and everyone was polite in there. And it had authentic Italian scenery both inside and outside. You could tell everything was made in house, from the bread to the sauce. The special fish of the day always hits the spot!

Excellent value for your dollar. This place is a land mark in Bethesda. It has reliability good food at an excellent price. I live nearby and have been back a few times. The past was excellent and the meat was a good portion. The calamari was good, and the vegetables were good as well. Nothing was bad, but it didn’t blow my socks off either. Very good service and quick seating and excellent value. I’ll be back.

Was here on Tuesday night with a group of 7 people. We all enjoyed our main courses & wine. Rather big portion, which is not a problem for me personally it’s only that we then couldn’t finish our desserts. I love the ambience, the friendly staff, not-long wait & of course the food.

The meal was amazing. Loved the penne all’arrabiatta the spicy marinara had just enough kick without over powering the dish. I added the meatballs which really took the dish over the top, they were homemade and so good! Our waiter, Jaime, was a treat as well. Great dinner!

Maybe the worst experience I have ever had. Our delivery came in these mini greasy portions. I called to ask about it and the rudest man hung up on me without so much as hearing my question. Clearly do not care about customer service. I would avoid at all cost. Also they said they do not cook with oil… you can see the volume of grease in my tiny portion.

Our retirement party at Positano’s was a huge success! The servers were so very kind and sweet, the “Old Positano” room was the ideal size for a party of 50, there was a perfect set-up for a DJ, and everyone loved the appetizers and food. This is our 3rd party at Positano’s. Thank you Jimmy and your staff for helping us create a memorable event.

Ordered cake tonight from positanos. When I opened the take out container there was mold. I will not be returning for more moldy cake.

This is some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. Whenever I’m in downtown Bethesda, I make it my first priority to stop by for a warm and comforting meal. I HIGHLY recommend the Chicken Milanese with fried calamari as a go-to appetizer. I’ve taken family, friends, and co-workers and all have only thanked me for introducing them to this place. The owners are so welcoming and waitstaff are so helpful and kind that it’s the kind of place that makes you feel right at home.
