Carlino

A unique restaurant located on the beach of Il San Pietro di Positano is a true Amalfi gem: just 45 seconds by elevator or a pleasant walk down the stairs through organic gardens — and you’re right on the seashore.

Atmosphere & Concept

This is not just a restaurant — it’s an entire mood. Among the freshness of the garden, the sound of the waves, and the sea breeze, a cuisine is born that lives through these sensations.

Simplicity and flawless quality — that’s the main note: homemade pasta with basil, tomatoes, lemon, freshly caught fish, and vegetables from the restaurant’s own garden — all genuine and without excess.

Cuisine — Sunshine on a Plate

Carlino’s menu is based on what’s harvested today: expect lemon pasta, grilled seafood, and salads made from the day’s produce. Every dish is crafted to capture the spirit of Amalfi — lightness, sunshine, and the sea in every bite.

Menu & Prices

For Positano, these are fairly reasonable prices — not exactly budget-friendly, but worth every euro.

Who is this place for?

• For those who are already saturated with panoramic views but crave something genuine, without pretension.
• For lovers of simplicity — the kind of place where the best taste doesn’t mean lavish interiors, but first-class ingredients.
• For hotel guests — Carlino remains accessible only to travelers staying at Il San Pietro.

The Italian Magic of Simplicity

It may come as a surprise that it’s at midday when Carlino reveals its greatest charm: the gentle sound of the waves, the warmth of the stone under your feet, the fragrant garden, and a menu that tells the story of the place. This restaurant isn’t about grandeur, but about emotion: preserved culture, natural beauty, and flavors infused with the sunshine of Amalfi.

Verdict

Carlino is a story of tranquility, authenticity, and the taste of Amalfi. Honestly, you don’t need dramatic décor or crowds of tourists. You simply sit down, listen to the sea, enjoy lemon pasta, and think: “This is it — the perfect seaside lunch.”

This is a place where every element — from the vegetables to the waves — is felt on the plate. And for those who seek simplicity and authenticity, this is exactly what you need.
