Tucked away inside Birkdale Village, this restaurant is a real jewel and well worth a trip.
I've made several trips to Positano Osteria and have had nothing short of excellent service. After my first meal, I've been greeted by multiple people each time I've returned, all of them genuinely glad to see me again.
The meals themselves have been among the best Italian food I have eaten in Charlotte. The appetizers are flavorful and classic -- I highly recommend the beautifully-prepared carpaccio. The pasta dishes are fresh and well-made, with a delight of balanced flavors such as the Ricotta-stuffed ravioli in a sauce of butter, sage, and Parmesan. The desserts are sinful...I've rediscovered the joy of canoli after having had too many dry ones elsewhere.
